MADE.

WIN!!!

Fudgin AWEsome, man. I was watching with my half-twitch fully engaged as I'd heard universally good feedback from a number of friends who I consider as bone-deep a Trekker as myself, but still, there are several involved in whom I had very little confidence and many, many ( Read more... )

Yep, they did a really great job. I was worried they would screw it up - but they did better than I ever thought possible. What a great start for even more movies! *g*

I was a bit twitchy, too, but they proved out MORE than up to the challenge.

I guess people reading this will realize there could be spoilers for the movie here, yeah? Cuz, I'm about to spoil like there was no tomorrow.

I totally agree with you; cannot say enough about how much I loved it. And I went into it not knowing a thing about it other than that it was ST--not even that it had any connection to the original series, which I grew up loving. The casting is unbelievably good. I couldn't get over Bones; he was perfect.

One thing that was a little jarring for me personally was that Zachary Quinto bears an odd resemblance to my oldest son, especially around the eyes, and they even carry themselves much the same way. It wasn't just, "Oh, he reminds me of Aaron"--it was more like every time he came onscreen I went, "Oh, hi Aaron!" Weird.

But I still loved it. I'm usually not a fan of the timeline reset, especially when you're fucking with something I care about as much as ST:TOS, but this one really worked for me. (Except for Spock/Uhura, which didn't really work for me; Imma say that shit ( ... )

More Zachary Quinto than Spock, though he does kind of have that dispassionate, unsmiling thing going on. His ears are not particularly pointy, that I've noticed. Handsome, though. :D

Dark, handsome and moody! The girls will be throwing themselves at him.
(Hope he hasn't got Spock's hair cut)

Yes it is. Especially Karl Urban as McCoy!

THATS why he looked familiar! He's from Riddick right? I ADORED McCoy.

He could've been in Riddick. I've never seen that, but every movie I have seen Karl in he's a total chameleon and looks the part rather than himself.

Oh, yeah. That's right. I forgot he was in Riddick. He kept fucking with me in that movie. He was channelling Carlos (Bernard ... Tony Almedia on 24) so hard through that whole role that it kept freakin me out, because I KNEW it wasn't Carlos. But still, in my head, it's still Carolos who was in Riddick.

So I guess, between Bourne and Riddick, maybe I shouldn't have worried about Urban as much as I did. The thing that kept sticking my head for him was Comanche Moon, and he made me inSANE (in a bad way) in that movie to such a degree I just can't remember he's done anything else.
