Boldly go-go

from Venice Beach
It's a grittier, less friendly version of Star Trek, a hybrid of the show, the Mirror Universe and the Battlestar Galactica remake. Chris Pine is an impish, rogue Kirk chock full of testosterone, swagger and a sort of 90210 believability. Zac Quinto's sensitive "Sylar Spock" is the vulnerable Vulcan, out of the closet about his human half and adorably psychotic because of that. Uhuru is rewritten as untouchably smart and sexy. Sulu is a little less bright, Chekov is brighter, and Scotty is hysterical. I personally liked Eric Bana's "Bones" McCoy for voicing the signature DeForest Kelly surliness as a mean-spirited divorcee.
But it ain't 100% Trek. Roddenbury's utopia is more like the original Heavy Metal cartoon or Doom III.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
