Zoe: Now with 50% more appreciation
Amidst all the boob controversy, I thought it would be nice to post part of a Star Trek review from trekmovie that praises Zoe's role in a way that I haven't seen acknowledged yet (critically speaking, that is).
"But repeated viewings lets you truly appreciate the performance of Zoe Saldana, who is truly the soul of the film. Not only is she a lynch-pin between Kirk and Spock, but she is also the compass by which we can judge the arc Kirk is on, from her dismissive reaction to him during the Kobayashi Maru, to her questioning of if he knows what he is doing after he takes command, to finally calling him ‘captain’ (and meaning it) in the closing moments."
