I liked how the film really showed that it was "the road not taken", yet some things seemed to be destined to happen. And a time-travel story without reset button!I liked Urban's McCoy, though I wish we had seen more of him. Quinto's Spock was great - he was a different Spock, but still Spock. Pegg's Scotty was fun! The Kirk... well-played, but I'm still not sure whether Pine is the ideal actor, but still good. Chekov was funny, but sadly Sulu was really underused.I liked the re-design of the ship, it looked believeable without looking all grim-and-dark (like the realistic look of BSG), but rather Star Trek-like. Love that new warp effect and sound. The villain's ship was... very meh, however (and gave me bad Nemesis flashbacks) - and ditto for the villain who was rather flat and not charismatic enough at all - definitely no Khan or Borg Queen - more like Shinzon 2.0. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" />Still 3.5/4.0 - one of the best Star Trek films ever - and the cast has the potential to trump that performance if they do a sequel. As a film in general: Good, but not awesome - no Iron Man (which, with it's rather light story, is a better comparison than Dark Knight).Cheers, LT.</blockquote>
