New Star Trek Trailer is 2 Minutes of Total Destruction

Star Trek fans, take notice: A third trailer for the upcoming "Star Trek Into Darkness" movie has been released, and it's the longest one yet.

While the first two trailers for the movie have been about one minute long, the new trailer is a full-on assault on all senses, all 2:18 minutes filled with action: Big explosions, hand-to-hand combat and space battles.

The central theme of the movie seems to be safety or lack thereof, as the protagonists seem powerless to stop the destruction of all they hold dear. Yes, even the iconic Starship Enterprise is seen plunging into water at one point.

The movie, which hits theaters on May 17, 2013, is directed by J.J. Abrams and written by Damon Lindelof, Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci. Chris Pine plays James T. Kirk, Zachary Quinto returns as Spock, Karl Urban as Bones, Simon Pegg as Scotty and John Cho as Hikaru Sulu, among others.
