As seen at Startrekmovie.com, the two-minute trailer is chock-full of action and includes previously seen footage plus plenty of new scenes, including information on James T. Kirk’s father.

Highlights of the trailer include: the revelation that James T. Kirk’s father was a starship captain for only twelve minutes, but in that short time, he saved eight hundred lives, including that of his son; the implosion of a planet courtesy of Nero’s weapon; the beginning of an attack on Vulcan; ominous words from Nero, who says that “James T. Kirk was a great man. That was another life,” and a scene where Kirk sits in the captain’s chair for the first time.

As reported by MTV, the new featurette, introduced by Zachary Quinto and running just over a minute in length, is basically a recap of what has already been seen before, with the exception of a shot with J.J. Abrams on what appears to be the bridge of another starship, and a short glimpse of Kirk and Spock fighting each other as seen on a monitor. There are also brief comments from several of the Star Trek XI actors in the short clip.The clip can be seen here.

The second featurette shows some of the same scenes from the film and also offers actor commentary, but then Wil Wheaton is brought in briefly to answer questions about Star Trek XI and Star Trek in general. Amongst the questions asked are “Why are Kirk and Spock fighting?” and “Is (the clip of Kirk making love to a woman) that supposed to be Kirk and Uhura?”

The second featurette is available at Veoh.com.

As reported by MTV, Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Wil Wheaton encourages Star Trek fans not to get too worked up over what Star Trek XI seems to be based on the available trailers. “It was all stuff that I’ve seen already,” he said of the footage to be seen on MTV’s upcoming Spoilers, “but it looked cool and everyone in the theater loved it.”“You know, a lot of my fellow Trekkies are all worked up because the trailer shows all this action stuff, and I keep hearing people dismissively calling it “Star Trek: 90210″ just because there are young people in it or something,” Wheaton said. “I really hope those guys can take a step back and realize a couple of things: these trailers and previews aren’t aimed at us; they’re aimed at teenagers, so they have to be presented in a language that they understand.”

According to Wheaton, action is necessary to today’s young audiences. “The damn kids today have grown up in a world where sci-fi is mostly action, and if you show them a lot of intense dialog scenes or quiet character moments, they’re not going to be interested. It is in all of our best interests to get them into the theater, so they can be introduced to Star Trek, get excited about Star Trek, and keep the Star Trek universe alive.”
