The (apparent) premise with the crew of the Enterprise marooned on an alien world is something we haven't really seen done in the feature films and that appeals to me. The execution of this concept looks like crap though... sigh.

Honestly, the thing that bothered me was the Beastie Boys track. No one, and I mean no one, would be listening to a several hundred year old pop song in the far future.
(And yes, I get the "sabotage"/Shatner joke in using the song - but it wasn't clever in 2009 and that goes double for now.)

So the sequel that possibly nobbles the new franchise. I didn't realise Lin was directing it, what an odd choice.
Some nice moments of humour there, new uniforms look like they don't fit well (the shoulders). Can't imagine what Giacchino's score is going to sound like if he gets other direction from Lin.
Yeah, the music was HORRIBLE in the trailer. A freakin' Beastie Boys song?! Just pathetic. Aside from the music, I think the story has promise. At least they're finally getting away from Earth and a generic threat of its destruction from a crazy alien.

Why not?
... How many people today sing bar songs from 1773?
(And before someone jumps in with MOZART! Well, lets not dig into the longevity of classical music versus the flash-in-a-pan quality of pop music)

Exactly...that's like saying no one should be listening to Beethoven 200 years after he wrote his classic symphonies. Not that I'm equating the Beastie Boys to Beethoven, but music can be listened to and enjoyed centuries after it was composed.
Sure any music can come around and be popular again. At least for a short time as a fad. But gimmicks like this screams desperation. Remember all the hoopla when Picard flew out of a shuttle in a dune buggy? Is that Kirk on a motorbike?

The crew of the Enterprise were stranded on that planet in GENERATIONS for at LEAST a few minutes before they were BLOWN UP by the shock wave!
