Finally sat down and watched it. Outstanding, even the wife enjoyed it who is no big sci-fi fan.

Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine absolutely nailed the Spock and Kirk characters. I was really amazed when I first saw the movie.

Yes, and without making it seem they were doing Nimoy Shatner impersonations, even more remarkable. Loved McCoy and Scotty too.

Me too! It was really only with Chekov that I felt they missed the mark a bit.

I felt Karl Urban was... too wooden in some parts, espesially when doing the 'traditional' Bones lines.

Sad to hear. I´m 33 and ST for me beguns only with the TNG series. I don`t liked the lamps and knobs in TOS. All that stuff looked so old/odd. For science fiction I wished more modern stuff. This dream comes true for me with TNG. The 1701 with it`s modern bridge design. The LCD`s touchscreens and so on. Yes, some times I just hated it for having non action just conversations in some parts. But the diplomatic way Picard goes was interesting for me. I had good laughts on Data`s act`s. Q was the "Space-God" who caused troubles. He tested the Human`s. He made experiements with them especially with Picard. He could do anything with the Enterprise, the humans and all other species, but he was bored and liked watching how the Enterprise crew reacts on different situations. For me it was thrilling to see what decisions Picard and his crew made.
Oh yes, Star Trek on BD is a must have! yep

I think Simon Pegg as Scotty missed the mark by much more.

It was all very entertaining and moved so fast you didn't have time to think about the plot holes till after. Curiously, the NTSC Rifftrax commentary I purchased was in perfect sync with the BluRay release over here in the UK, which is PAL. BluRay manages to keep the timing of movies also?

If you have never come across Rifftrax or Mystery Science Theatre before and fancy a giggle... Rifftrax does Star Trek check out the sample.

I'm a huge fan of Rifftrax and MST3K and I've bought 4 Rifftrax so far and enjoyed them immensely. I have the ones for X-Files Fight the Future, Alien, Predator and The Fifth Element.
