'Star Trek' Trailer, Shot By Shot: Captain Kirk Gets Some Action, Spock Gets Angry

As you read this, the Internet is once again ablaze with a hot new trailer, this time for J.J. Abrams' highly anticipated reboot of the "Star Trek" franchise. Boldly going where no trailer has gone before, it's stuffed with drama, explosions and passion — as well as the revelation that futuristic bras and tighty-whities look quite similar to those we wear in present day.

Much like the "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" sneak peeks, and so many other major trailers before it, your MTV Movies team has abused our computer mouses so you don't have to, and as we place our "pause-play-rewind" fingers on ice, we offer up this shot-by-shot breakdown.
