Saw the original Star Trek first run and I LOVE this movie

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2013)

This movie is an example of people taking the time to perfectly cast well known and well-loved characters. This new James Kirk, while not doing the fit and start speaking of old, has Shatners walk onto the bridge like I own and command the universe perfectly. The young man playing Spock is almost scary he is so so good. I am particularly fond of Karl Urban's Bones portrayal. He has the speaking cadence and the sense of Deforest Kelly's original pat with the benefit of today's sensibilities to allow us to see what we knew was in the 60's version. I won't keep going thru the cast but I am pleased with them all. I like some of the tact's that have been taken this time around. The origin of Bones name rather than as a Doctor name which would be typical but from his personal history. I like the way Kirk and Spock end up in star fleet. Look it is a great watch. No it isn't a faithful rerun of the original; hell William Shatner didn't even remain perfectly faithful to it either in his movies. Give it a go with an open mind to a NEW movie.
