And possibly Nolan's Batman, judging by that poster.
I was gonna say "Star Trek: Batman" by that poster! Kirk is a descendant of the Wayne family?!
I liked the first one. 
I formally deny that assertion.
Come on, didn't you guys love that Engineering was a freaking brewery.
Scotty would have loved it more if it were a distillery.

Formally agreeing with your denial of that assertion.
The last movie definitely had its stupid moments and it left a lot of unanswered questions but it was still the best Star Trek that had come out in ages. So for the moment I am definitely feeling enthusiasm and excitement but with a healthy dose of paranoia and doubt throw in just to keep myself in check.
Seriously, you guys are going to argue a movie that has a star 500 light years from another go super nova, and the people of Romulus have no time to react is smart? One where a raw cadet is given command of what would be the modern equivalent of an aircraft carrier? The whole meeting Spock on the ice planet silliness where Spock happens to know that's where Scotty lives who happens to be the only person who could invent a way for them to get back to their ship.
The movie was dumb. It was super fun to watch, but it was fucking dumb.
It was written by the same guys that wrote Transformers 2. It was never going to be smart.

I got more of a Captain Jack Harkness vibe from it.
Yes please bring on Star Trek Wars: The Wrathening of Vader, these movies have nothing to do with Star Trek other than the title and character names, it has become just another gussied up whore for corporate Hollywood with a lot of flash and big booms, with about as much substance as a Transformer movie. "Oooh hey, I have an idea let's do the post-apocalyptic thing in the future, Kirk can wear a leather trenchcoat and be bad-ass and stuff!" 
I weep for the future and the loss of Roddenberry's vision.

It's..it's Star Trek. It..it doesn't have to make sense!
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE!

Sex with alien men.

Basically, everything within 10 lightyears of him is getting laid.
Since when, even if they had to make up bullshit to make other bullshit make sense at least they tried and came up with a plausible explanation to have the bullshit work with the story, not,""Oh hai, this star blew up 2 weeks ago and it is going to destroy us tomorrow", they could have at least tried to have it make sense, anyone with elementary school science knows that it would take a smidge longer to get there. And don't even get me started on that horseshit with Vulcan blowing up and the "moon" Spock is on watching it die has some stupid name implying it is in some other star system yet is closer to Vulcan than our Moon is to Earth, yet Vulcan going poof doesn't cause it the least bit of problems.
I think that's Benedict Cumberbatch's character on the poster.Yes please bring on Star Trek Wars: The Wrathening of Vader, these movies have nothing to do with Star Trek other than the title and character names, it has become just another gussied up whore for corporate Hollywood with a lot of flash and big booms, with about as much substance as a Transformer movie.

It is. He's just being angry.
Yeah, he's playing the villain.
If you were a Limey and someone just blew up Future London, you'd be angry too.
Fun fact: Captain Jack gets more tail in one episode of Torchwood than all of Kirk's career.
That's not a fun fact, because admitting that that's a fun fact is admitting that Torchwood was fun.
holy shit you really mad about star trek
I am worried that this will be a grimmer, darker Star Trek...
Leave that to the Alien Franchise. I want to see Civilized "Man" solving problems with intelligence and bravery.
