MERRY NEW YEAR!

Pacific Rim Trailer

Plot summary: When giant monsters arise from a crevice in the Pacific Ocean, it starts a war that takes millions of lives and quickly consumes humanity's resources. To combat this new threat, a special type of weapon is designed: massive robots, known as Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. As time passes, even the powerful Jaegers prove almost defenseless in the face of a relentless enemy. On its last stand and on the verge of defeat, the remaining defending forces of mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes - a former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) - who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the early trials of the mechanical titans. Together, they must stand as the human race’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Star Trek into Darkness

The next movie in the Star Trek franchise (and the second in the current rebooted series) will be called Star Trek into Darkness (it is not a mistake that "into" is not capitalized) and is set for release on May 17, 2013.

You can watch the official announcement trailer on the official Apple site for the movie RIGHT HERE (sorry - can't embed it right now).

The trailer poses a lot of questions: is there another scene of a main character (or two, in this case) running towards then jumping off a cliff?  Why are there at least two shots of a starship in, on, or under water?  Where are the space sequences?  And is Benedict Cumberbatch's character supposed to be Khan? 

And here is the official sneak poster:
