Star Trek is wonderful. If you don’t like the genre, you will still like it. It has excellent acting, good action, a roaring plot and everything else that makes a superb movie. If you aren’t doing anything this weekend I recommend going and supporting it. I was not overly impressed with Qunito, Loved Nimoy, and the new Kirk is great. I must admit I didn’t think he would be good, but he was. And in a Daniel Craig new James Bond kind of way. He didn’t lose anything that William Shatner has given us he just added to it. Go see it. Probably the best movie of the summer easy. And for all of you House fans, Cameron is Kirk’s Mom! Who knew she was a Trekkie?

I disagree with you on Quinto. I think he did a great job. Not having watched the show, I am judging based only on the movie as a self-contained project. I think he exellently portrayed the struggle to control emotions. What didn’t impress me was what an over-confident prick Kirk was. I’m not saying the actor did a poor job, i’m just saying I don’t think Kirk is very likable. At least, I didn’t like him much. He was cocky and insolent. Scottie was awesome, and the guy who played Sulu struck me as spot-on, but then again, I never watched the show. I hope they make another movie with the same cast, and one that is equally accessible to non-Trekkies.
