WOw! unanimous greecie love! I think this is a first.
I was finally going to see Wolverine this weekend, but I'll pass that up for Trek. Can't wait now.

kostgard, yes, Quinto's performance was fantastic. He was Spock.

I saw it yesterday and absolutely loved it. Great special effects. Also, if you're a fan of the old original series, you'll see a couple of cheesy tributes to it.

Seeing Urban as Bones reminded me why I liked him back in the Price of Milk. Is it wrong to wish that in the next movie Bones is shown naked in a giant tank of milk?

UNBELIEVABLE!
That was jam-action-packed flick. They really crammed a lot into two hours and it wasn't the bit confusing, forced fed or campy. I just adored this film.
Everything was done brilliantly and the group I was with (10 of us) were just in Trek lurve. We're still talking about it!!

Damnit, q99, he's a doctor, not an Olympic milk-swimmer!!! That guy did a fantastic job imitating Deforrest Kelly.

I never got into the Star Trek world (not that I disliked it, I just haven't seen anything Trek related), but my friends are all raving about the movie and have almost forgiven JJ Abrams for Lost. Wow, never thought I'd see that happen! Going to see it in a few hours and I can't wait.

Saw it, and I liked it. Very entertaining and it goes by really quickly (doesn't feel like 2 hours).
Two things that cracked me up - that the big red ball from Alias plays a key role, and that Nimoy got to give the big "Space - the final frontier" speech. Shatner must be having a hissy fit.
I thought the cast was great - Pine and Quinto were spot-on, and I really liked Urban as McCoy.
Although I have to admit that a part of me was amused/miffed that the women's uniform still consisted of mini skirts and go-go boots, and there was a serious lack of high-ranking females. At least Uhura got a bit more to do.

The big red ball was a good shout out to Alias, and I thought there was an Uhura/Kirk/Alien Girl scene towards the beginning that was a fantastic in its Felicity-ness. In a similar vein, the mini-skirts and go-go boots didn't bother me because it seemed an homage to the aesthetics of the 1960s, like the way they did the beauty shots of the Enterprise. Abrams made the Enterprise almost look like something Saarinen would have designed. And I loved it.
The last conversation between Spock and Sarack is probably my favorite scene between those two characters ever, and they are a relationship I've always enjoyed.
I also loved, loved, loved that Nimoy gave the "Space" speech. I just loved him all through out this film. Shatner might've been to much; Nimoy was just perfect.

HEE! JJ did kinda treat Alias as his red headed stepchild but he does love pulling out that Mueller device whenever possible! I heard Rachel Nichols has a small role and Greg Grunberg can be heard in one scene. Because it really isn't a JJ production without Greg Grunberg!
Shatner probably is throwing a fit but oh well. JJ did offer him the chance to make a cameo appearance and Shatner turned his nose up at the idea. He seems to think he's above Star Trek, the show that made a freaking pop culture icon, but doesn't want anyone to touch the franchise. It's almost like he's afraid people will think he's not irreplaceable after all. Nemoy seems like a rather nice guy. I don't see how he manages to keep a civil relationship with Shatner.
