A look at 4 "sneak peeks" of the Trek Movie--SPOILER HEAVY!![/b]
I skipped over the breakdowns of the 4 individual scenes and jumped right to the last paragraph of the article, copied here for those who don't want to risk the spoilers...
"So, overall, the positives: Urban's Dr. McCoy is fantastic, Pegg has Scotty nailed down, Yelchin's Chekov is endearing, Saldana's Uhura is a tribute to Nichelle Nichols, the effects are top-notch, and the picture appears to have more truly cinematic moments and scope than most people would have expected from Abrams. The negative? Pine is charismatic and fun to watch, but he's not playing Kirk. It's a fun character for sure, but it's not Kirk. Still, I can live with that. The only true concern at this point is Quinto's Spock. From what was shown, it's a weak performance undermined by Nimoy's appearance in different scenes. Besides the physical characteristics, they do not seem like the same character (and even then it's mainly the hair and pointy ears).
But make no mistake, this preview accomplished its goal. It gave a longtime "Trek" fan hope that the complete film will reignite a dormant franchise and kick the summer movie season of 2009 off with a bang.
So, I shouldn't be confident of Quinto and nervous of Urban...but the other way around?
Gerk. Is it May yet?
