From what I hear online from all the people that got the advanced screening, Urban stands out as the one absolutely nails his character. They say he finds that absolute perfect rhythm and balance between doing it his way, and paying homage to DeForrest Kelley. And from that clip, I fucking believe it!

Trek Stars Speak About New Film's Challenges
Let's get it out of the way: the new Star Trek is actually very good.
Where so many big-blockbuster takes on our old favourites boldly go and fall flat on their faces, the makers of this prequel to the world's best-loved sci-fi show have steered the Starship Enterprise, presumably at warp speed, right into 2009.
The real brains behind the rebirth of Spock and Kirk is director and producer JJ Abrams. Previously known as the man who gave birth to Lost, Alias, Cloverfield and Mission Impossible 3, he's now being labelled as the next Steven Spielberg.
"I didn't even know what Star Trek was any more," he told us when the Trek promotional rollercoaster rolled into London.
"When you say Star Trek, was it Voyager, Deep Space Nine or Next Generation? I just thought Kirk and Spock. That always felt like Star Trek to me."
So are we right in assuming Abrams wasn't an ardent Trekkie?
"I was somewhere in the middle, maybe more in the non-fan contingent," he smiled diplomatically.
"I didn't really get it, and growing up (my) friends did. I knew it was popular but I was just never among them.
"But I found myself falling in love with this world, and when I read the script, I felt I would be so jealous if anyone else directed this film. So I had to do it."
Which led him back to the original source material - more specifically the characters of Spock and Kirk.
This new film is a prequel to the original series, showing how those two characters met. Kind of like Star Trek: The College Years. Which begged the question, how on earth would they find actors to fill those iconic roles?
"It was made very clear that we weren't expected in any way to try to recreate what had come before," explained Zachary Quinto, who until now has been known as Sylar from Heroes, but from this point on will be forever thought of as the new Spock.
"We used it rather as a point of entry for our own interpretations and understandings of who these characters are. They exsist in a very different environment."
Chris Pine, whose most high-profile role to date was in Princess Diaries 2, nods his head.
"I hoped, well I tried, to at least make this character as much as my own and do as good as a job as Mr Shatner had done in the past," he smiles.
So no dodgy cover versions of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds on the cards then.
Mainly, this is a cast of lesser-known stars.
There, is of course, the already much-discussed return of one key original cast member (here's a clue, he's a Vulcan) and then there is Simon Pegg. Cast, albeit fairly briefly, as the younger Scotty. And yes, he is already bored of people asking him to beam them up.
"I know, I know," he laughs. "People always want you to say the iconic lines like 'The engines cannae take it' and stuff, but that's because he's an iconic character, he's cemented in our minds as popular culture.
"In this film, the characters are bigger than the actors. You don't want anyone to eclipse the characters."

Did anyone see the "special preview" during Lost last week? All it was was Kirk in the snow running away from a monster that got attacked by a bigger monster and then they fell down a cliff. It could have been a scene from any big budget action movie. It was the most generic preview I've ever seen.

Interstellar Affairs: You might love the new Star Trek—but not for the reasons you loved the old one. Star Trek 2.0: J. J. Abrams has reimagined the Star Trek franchise by starting over with a whole new cast playing James T. Kirk, Dr. McCoy, Spock, and Sulu — now with twice the macho gayness. "Star Trek" gave critic goosebumps: Mick didn't expect much from the new "Star Trek" but now feels that the movie taps into our collective affection for the characters. Star Trek: The CBR Review: “Star Trek” was one of the best Trek films ever made, yet it falls short in many ways of being a great movie (“Star Trek II” was not just a great Trek movie, but a great movie).

Blah, blah, blah. I just got back from seeing it, and it kicked all kinds of fucking ass! It rocks the hardest, and is the best Trek movie since The Wrath of Khan. I can't wait for the sequels!

P.S. Simon Pegg rules as Scotty. But, Karl Urban was the best. "I might throw up on you..."

Oh and Greg Grunberg (Parkman from Heroes) gets his obligatory Abrams-movie/show-cameo. He's the voice of Kirk's uncle over the Nokia product placement phone.
Spoilers!

And, to be fair, one of my favorite friends there is blind and I take every opportunity available to make fun of that and we're still friends. That guy never fit there. He never got the spirit of the RKMBs. We're gonna keep an eye on the obits, see if he finally left or if he really did have a heart attack.

Seriously, though, it's a good popcorn flick. Great attention to detail, ILM effects, fun action that doesn't take itself too seriously. I really had a good time. Worth seeing on the big screen for the space shots and all...

I hate Wolverine because it took seventeen different source materials and tried to cram them all together with the almighty and repetitive Cliche as a foundation, while at the same time neutering the once-feared and awesome Wolverine into a "misunderstood nice guy with a gruff heart of gold". It was superhero cartoon. Star Trek is based on Star Trek, and is Star Trek. There's no comparison. I suggest you check out the new Trek movie. It's good stuff!

And there was me thinking it was a new reimagining of Star Trek. And no, I will not check it out because I dont fucking like Star Trek. If its Star Trek is Star Trek is Star Trek, how on Earth will I like it being that I hate Star Trek? If you are saying I will like it cause its not like Star Trek, then you have contradicted your initial statement!
