I love the alternate reality premise and I thought the casting was excellent. Zachary Quinto does an amazing job as Spock and Chris Pine is bang on as Kirk, because I hate him already. ;)

I'm glad you saw it at last, Gil. That reminds me, I want to go back again and see it at the good IMAX at Lincoln Center. 8)

Heh. I haven't the slightest interest in the film, but there is now a 3x5 of Chris Pine hanging on my refrigerator. ... ;D
Unfortunately not in his underwear. ... :-\
Or out of his underwear. ... :-\
(It's just a head shot.)
(No, not that head. ;D )

My review:
Lots of fun. Lots of injokes and references for Trekkers. The last time we will probably hear Majel Barrett Roddenberry's voice as the computer. :( Cute to know Uhura's first name.
Very cartoon-y comic-book-y and over-the-top. The bad guy's story is teeeny tiny (and only important in one crucial aspect which explains how all future Star Trek movies are going to deviate from the canon) in the middle of all the strum and drang.
The producers have a lot of story to tell in a short amount of time, so everything happens extremely fast - so fast, you're going "yeah right".
Anyway, lots of fun. You see how everything is set up for a sequel. But not epic by a long shot and yes, they lost the heart of Star Trek - there is no "moral to the story" as were all the Star Treks before. J.J. Abrams sold out Star Trek in favor of fast ships, young beautiful people and cool special effects. :P

One thing that did grate on my nerves a lot was the relentless score, I hated it! Well, up until the very end when the familiar theme is played.

I've seen it twice now and loved it. Am contemplating seeing it a third time rather than wait for the DVD and see it on a small screen. I would love to see it in an IMAX theatre!!
