Star Trek has excited fans by releasing not just a rather cool motion poster, but also a first look featurette. There’s a fair bit of new footage in the latter, although it’s more about saying how awesome it’s going to be and how they’ve upped the ante than giving us any specifics.
Here’s the previously released synopsis: ‘In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes Star Trek Into Darkness. When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.
‘With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.’
The film hits cinemas May 17th, 2013.
