I particularly appreciate how the trailer misdirects an unknowing viewer as to the events. The inclusion of the Kilingon ships from the Kobiashi Maru simulation late in the run time suggests a plot twist that isn't there. That said, they should have not included a shot of the crippled Reliant missing a warp nacelle. Viewers are supposed to attribute this to Klingon aggression, perhaps? Too much for one who committed the dialogue to memory a long time ago.
That was well done, although—having seen Wrath of Khan opening day at Movies at the Renaissance—I wonder if my reaction would be as positive if I didn't have the context to understand where most of the scenes come from. Plus, the opening section with Chekhov struck me as disproportionately long.
Epileptogenic warning. But well crafted. Wrath Of Khan is one of my all time favorites.
