Great future

Rating: 7/10 (12 May 2009)

I went to see this with a lot of nervousness as I thought Quinto, Urban and Saldana were the only ones who looked right for the roles. I took to Pine within a few minutes of watching and Quinto the same. Saldana didn't get nearly enough screen time but in all honesty was given the time that is usually alloted to Uhura and brought all the warmth and beauty that Nicholls brought to the original Uhura. When I saw and heard Karl Urban as McCoy I got a shiver down my spine! Not only looked like a young DeForest Kelley but had the gruffness and almost identical personality! The Nero angle and Spock (Nimoy) involvement was sub story enough not to take us away from the leads. Chekov was young, brash and as green as a 17 year old would be. The loss of Amanda, Spock's mother is left to be continued. The destruction of Vulcan is a puzzle and the survivors must have relocated to a planet they renamed Vulcan to be in the universe we know. Sarek and the supporting parts were satisfactory and in all it's been a long time since I've enjoyed a movie as much as I did this. Begone all ye naysayers....
