Great film! Has the comedy that was in the early movies, and shows you were it all started. Very good casting for all our beloved characters from the Star Trek world. I was impressed with Karl Urban's grumbling doctor the most I think. Then of course the casting of Spock and Kirk was great. Was so enjoyable to see them as the talented young students and yet they already had the chemistry that made the other films so great. You get to see them more as a team I believe than before. You really get the sense that you are glimpsing your favorite characters in their iconic growth towards their destiny.
