Ugh! Don't even get me started on the new Star Wars trilogy! What a way to ruin a good thing! Nothing can compare to the original three story lines and the original cast- all the fancy shmancy CGI won't make the new ones compare 1/10th to the first! I totally agree with you Obi.

Just saw the movie and I have to say it was brilliant. The opening sequence is quite sad and I had tears in my eyes, really moved me. I enjoyed every second of it. The "new guys" were amazing especially Spock and McCoy both of whom did the original characters justice. I will also add that this Spock was quite "cute" too and McCoy as well. Kirk was my least favorite character but he too did a great job. There is even some unexpected "romance" thrown in for two of the characters which made me smile and it was so sweet. Quite a few touching moments in the movie. Simon Pegg was quite good as "Scotty" and brought his humour with him. Quite a bit of humour throughout the movie with witty lines between the characters. If you were a fan of the original series then you should definitely like this movie. Money well spent is what I say. Go see it. Highly recommended.
I do hope this means more "Star Trek" movies with this excellent cast. I can hardly wait. |

What a great movie. It was casted perfectly. Chris Pine...James T. Kirk and Zachary Quinto...Spock, are set for life.
A few of the actors looked familiar. Of course Capt. Pike, Bruce Greenwood was on John from Cincinnati last season on HBO as well as many other movies. I liked him in Double Jeopardy with Ashley Judd.
I didn't recognize Wynonna Ryder as Spocks mother until I read the cast list.
Karl Urban... Bones, looked so familiar and finally I realized he was the assassin in Bourne Supremacy.
John Cho...Sulu, plays Harold in the pot smoking duo Harold and Kumar. No drug testing in the Star Fleet Academy.
Simon Pegg...Scottie, played in Hott Fuzz that HBO played a million times.
Anton Yelchin...Chekov, played Bobbie Garfield in Hearts of Atlanta with Anthony Hopkins, and Along Came a Spider he played Dimitri. HBO played that one mucho as well. Good books too.
Chris Hemsworth, Capt. Kirk senior, made Dancing with the Stars Finals. I dunno if he won.
I remember Eric Bana...Nero, in Troy with Brad Pitt. He was Hector from Carthage. His specialty is getting killed obviously.

A few random thoughts here...
As soon as my Granddaughter saw (the new) Spock, she said, "I recognize him! He's the villain on 'Heroes'!"
Karl Urban also played Eomer in the Lord of the Rings trilogy as well as the main character in Pathfinder.
Anton Yelchin's Ens. Chekov was very disappointing, to me, especially with that lame Polish accent...it certainly wasn't Russian!
Bruce Greenwood did Jeffrey Hunter proud as Christopher Pike...just excellent!
Did anyone notice that, when Spock & Kirk finally discovered Scotty, there was a Tribble nearby? I didn't. 
Lastly, since when does Iowa have great gaping canyons? Did I miss the announcement? |

YAY!!!! He is the greatest villain and is perfect as Spock too! He is from Pittsburgh.

What does being from Pittsburgh have to do with anything? 
Oh yeah, I forgot yesterday to mention one thing--I think Eric Bana is a pretty good actor, but here, sadly, he's JACCV.
What's that, you ask? Just Another Cookie-Cutter Villain.
In all the years of the 11 Star Trek movies, there has only been one (1) great villain: Khan Noonien Singh. Ricardo Montalban simply stole that whole movie. That would be Star Trek 2 - The Wrath of Khan, in case you don't know what I'm blithering about. |
