[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] I just saw it last night. I really enjoyed it. There were a few instances of belief-suspension involved, but then they wouldn't have been able to tell a satisfying story without it. There was much humor and poking fun/homages to the old show, and IMHO, every single instance was funny and not stomach-churning. Karl Urban gets my vote for best impersonation of the original character. His McCoy was absolutely perfect. I think the best scenes were between Spock and Sarek. This was not the strained relationship of Nimoy/Lenard, but an entirely new positive father/son relationship. It worked extremely well. Bruce Greenwood was also terrific as Captain Pike. Uhura was developed more in this movie than all three TOS years and six movies combined. Simon Pegg's Scotty was very funny, although James Doohan, while admittedly good for a few laughs, was never as amusing as Pegg's take on the character. But Nero had to be the best. His character was literally an everyman who suddenly has lost everything and now has nothing to lose, so he's turned into a maniac. No over-the-top goofiness as with Shinzon. One last note: I think the Countdown comics, while meant to "bridge the gap" between TNG and this movie, really should be taken with a grain of salt. AAMOF, after seeing the movie, the comics almost downplay it. [QUOTE]Starfleet has no ships in hailing range of Earth? What is this madness?[/QUOTE]Wow, dude. That's all you have to say about this movie? [/QB][/QUOTE]
