Anchored by a serious talking to from Bruce Greenwood's Admiral Pike to a brash and reckless Captain Kirk, the latest teaser trailer for J.J. Abrams' return to the Trek universe is perhaps a tad too self-serious, but boy, oh, boy is Benedict Cumberbatch a touchstone of gravitas in an already epic and somber tease. What ever villain he's playing there's no doubt it'll be fun to watch him bring the hurt to Chris Pine and the crew of the Enterprise.
