Song was used in the first movie when young Kirk stole his step dad's car.
I just rewatched both reboot movies in the last two weeks. I'll agree that they're not TOS or TNG, but who gives a fuck. These movie are fun and funny. The cast works great together and Karl Urban is awesome in these.
Ship getting destroyed will fit with the ST3 theme. Only sad there's not Klingons.

This. Maybe I'm a nerd puritan that was weaned from the breast on the original series, but fuck I hate this reboot universe. They're just the typical epilepsy inducing CGI overload where you can't even enjoy it because no human brain was designed to process that much fucking lens flare and 1000 simultaneously moving objects at once. Star Trek space combat used to be about wits and strategy wrapped up in a "naval" type battle format that exuded tension and anticipation. For instance the battles in Star Trek II or the famous Romulan hunting episode of the original series. Now unless you're fucking hyped on a double dose of Adderall and able to drop the frame rate by 50%, it's just one big pyrotechnic rainbow abortion in space. Sigh.

I like most of the actors well enough, or at least Scotty, Bones, and Spock. And it looks like it will have ok CGI and action scenes.
..However I am a star trek fanboi and this breaks my heart. If it was called anything other than star trek I could enjoy it as a popcorn flick, but I'm just too salty.
Fuck reboots when their is already an entire universe to build a new movie around. such lazy bullshit.

I guess I don't get the nostalgia of Starfleet always hitting the win button in every situation.

Yeah, and the act of destroying the entire planet of Vulcan was fucking heresy too. There's a reboot, then there's shitting on something that is integral to Star Trek, which was Vulcan. During the 1st reboot movie I just sat there mouth agape astounded that they chose to do that of all possible story ideas for a reboot. It was like a big "fuck you" to the entire universe. That and turning the Enterprise into the equivalent of an X-wing fighter in terms of maneuverability.

Really? "Sulu evasive maneuver delta" "Lock phasers" (or Photon torpedoes) blam!!! (AKA Win button)..
Give me some popcorn CGI and a burning Enterprise. mindless crap is mindless crap.. I prefer mine with a little zing.
