The casting is the real star of this movie.

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2011)

Let me cut to the chase and say the best thing about this sequel was in the top notch casting. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto were completely convincing as the younger Kirk and Spock. Each not only looked the parts but must have done extensive research on the mannerisms and quirks of the older counterparts. Simon Peg gives a delightful impersonation of Chief engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott. I have to give the highest praise to Karl Uban who looked, sounded and for all accounts was the incarnation of Deforest Kelly's Doctor Mcoy. Man, when he was on the screen i was totally sold. The only problem with this movie, ironically, is the plot. It seems so ambiguous and lack luster that it just seems to be there to give the cast something to do. The villain is uninteresting as well. To be completely honest i was just captivated by each of the new cast members take on the familiar old cast members. I just hope when they make more sequels with this cast, and trust me they will, they will put a lot more thought into the plot. Now that we know the new cast can do the job, give them a worthy script.
