There’s lots of good reasons to be interested in the about-to-be-released Star Trek movie, but I’m happy to go with one that fits in nicely with the Backbrain’s obsession with giant monsters.
Some conceptual sketches have surfaced as creature-designer Neville Page — the man responsible for the Cloverfield monster — discusses how he made the creature he describes as “looking literally like ass.” [That’s arse for the non-American English speakers].
Apparently all those black dots that cover the monster are eyes, and one of the hard parts of Page’s job was getting them to move and blink independently.

Here it is as seen in the trailer.
