There's something weird about the ultra-mysterious Star Trek Into Darkness, helmed by the ultra-secretive J.J. Abrams, debuting a TV spot when there are more eyeballs looking at it than ever. Surely one of the hundreds of millions of folks will pluck out some never-before-realized nugget of information from it? Perhaps regarding Benedict Cumberbatch's villain, or maybe even something tying into the newly released movie tie-in app?
The spot's pretty cool, and Cumberbatch is an absolute bad ass. Check out the plot and footage below.
PLOT: 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.
