I think it's decent... I'm not happy that there are rumors that khan will be in the center in the next movie...That ships sailed I hope they don't do that...however, I like the actor choices and the ship design...especially chekov, anton yelchin is a great actor...

I liked it. Now I won't say it was great, but very well done. I liked the casting of the actors - I don't know the actor's name who played Scotty but he was great. And Zoe Saldana as Uhura, perfect.
I was not thrilled with the story, but that's a minor quibble. I was also disappointed with the treatment of Kirk's mother - once he was born she was discarded without a logical exit. Again minor quibble. They wasted Eric Bana, IMHO. But they made perfect use of Leonard Nimoy. Man did he look old.
The new Enterprise was somewhat hyper-extended. It seemed forced and artificial. It doesn't hold a candle to Serenity. It was all sleek and phony-looking, but of course we're talking about the Federation. I much prefer the "old" Enterprise.
Now that ship had character. NCC-1701.

Scotty is Simon Pegg. See Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.

Quote:Yeah, this one's a bit bigger, but the explanation is that wartime causes ships to be designed differently. This timeline is a markedly rougher place...

I've seen the movie twice, and I will definitely buy the DVD when it's available. I'm not a "techie", so I don't focus so much on the ship. To me it sorta looks like the Enterprise I knew, sorta in the same way that other Enterprises have looked like more modernized versions of the original.
It's the timeline-shift element that is both fascinating and frustrating for me. I watched Original Episode "Obsession" the other night. Kirk's career is explained somewhat in this episode.
His first space assignment was as an Ensign aboard the starship Farragut, under the command of Captain Garrovick. This was the ship & crew that encountered the gaseous dichromium creature that killed half the crew of the Farragut, over 200 people. Kirk received a commodation, but he blamed himself for not destroying the creature when he had the chance. This was 11 years before Captain Kirk ran into the same creature in a different part of the galaxy. One can postulate that Kirk served in Star Fleet for at least 5-8 years before becoming a Captain. Those years of experience and command situations prepared him for the big chair. By contrast, Chris Pine's Kirk earned the seat right out of the Academy by luck and timing and moxy. Two different Kirks in two different quantum realities. And no mention of his brother Sam either.

Quote:Sam could have been his younger brother, in which case, Sam doesn't exist in the new timeline.

In the meantime, I'm having all manner of fun playing wit-er, EXAMINING my new Father's Day present!
