Because this is 2020, we know most of us will likely be spending our New Year's Eve at home--but that doesn't mean we can't do something special to celebrate the death of this foul year of our Lord. So here's a list of our favorite movies that sync up to ring in the new year with a big, epic moment and what time you should start watching them on New Year's Eve. For the best results, we suggest starting the movie, pausing it, setting it to 0:00:00 and unpausing at the time suggested. We also suggest watching these movies on DVD or BluRay if possible because even the most insignificant streaming blips can throw off the timing completely. Cabin in the Woods - 10:30:07 PM If you want to ring in the new year with the Old Gods rising again, hit play on Drew Goddard's modern classic Cabin in the Woods at 10:30:07 PM (10:30 and 7 seconds) and at the stroke of midnight, the giant hand will come crashing down.

The notion the Enterprise can go underwater makes for a great visual but makes no goddamn sense...which is what I'd say about a lot of the Orci/Abrams take.
Reminds me of a bit from Futurama:
"We're at 20 atmospheres of pressure!"
"How many atmospheres can the Planet Express ship take?"
"Well, it's a spaceship. So somewhere between 0 and 1."
If the bad guy turns out to be Khan - the most banal choice imaginable - there is no end to how disappointed I'll be. Lots of this movie will be based on mining visual imagery from Trek's past.
"Hey, remember this, you fat fuck fanboys?"
Who is the bad guy? We know it's someone from Trek, so here are my Vegas style odds:
Odds:
Khan: 2 to 3
Gary Mitchell: 5 to 1
Garth of Izar: 20 to 1
Finnegan: 10 to 1
The parasite aliens from the TNG episode "Conspiracy:" 500 to 1
