Star Trek

[elli]

As done by JJ Abrams this is not gonna be a review because I have to be in bed. Thaat said..I've always been a Star Trek fan and as such. THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN!

I haven't laughed so much in a movie in ages. I even cried at more then one occasion and that almost never happens!!!!! The casting was spot on. So brilliant really. I didn't believe Keith Urban could pull it off especially. that said... even if you don't like Star Trek so much, go watch it, it's highly entertaining.

A more coherent review (and icons) this weekend!

Whee, my first comment in dreamwidth (I'm sure you wrote this on LJ too).

I loved this movie too - it made me laugh, feel sad, feel very happy, feel very excited, and I was glued to my seat the whole time. I love every cast member and how they gelled together.

I really like Bones. I thought that the actor who played him really had a lot of the other actor's mannerisms and accent but at the same put a whole new spin on it. :)

I actually want to re-watch it again!!! :D

I think you meant Karl Urban. Isn't Keith Urban Mr. Nicole Kidman? ;)

Good to hear another thumbs-up. I was a bit wary about the movie at first, but it's been getting positive buzz.

Yes, I did ;) Thanks for the heads up And I corrected it too ;) And I think the movie is awesome and am actually contemplating seeing it again.

I never was into the whole Star Trak thing but once I saw the Trailer a few month back even I want to watch it *G* I think I'll go next week or something :)

Yes, do! It's awesome!!!!!

The casting was spot on. So brilliant really.

It sooooo was.

And Karl Urban is one of my favorite actors, but I totally didn't picture him as much of a McCoy... until I watched the movie. And damnit if he ain't the best damn Leonard McCoy since DeForest Kelley. Brilliant.

And they could not have picked a more adorable Chekov. Just sayin.

OMG... Evertime Chekov said Kirk I had a laughing flash. so adorable and awesome.

I loved the new movie, and I say that as a big Trek fan. It was a great reboot while still paying respect to the original series.

And OMG KARL URBAN. McCoy was already my favorite from TOS but now he's my favorite EVEN MORE.

I thought so too and I really don't get all the haters. I had so much fun with this!!!

And I loved him... though I pretty much loved them ALL!

OMG! I totally agree with you! I had so much fun at this movie. And yes, the casting was amazing, Karl Urban had Bones down pat.

That and getting to watch Zachary Quinto for 2 hours doesn't hurt.

Chris Pine was hilarious! I didn't know he had it in him.

And I just plain love Simon Pegg.

[elli.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes yes, Chris Pine..I kind of have this crush. *cough*

And well..Simon Pegg was so funny :D

[wickedvengeance.livejournal.com]

Simon's always funny. And I'm totally developing a Chris crush too...Still love my Zach though. :)

[elli.livejournal.com]

mmm..I've never been all that into Zak..I like him and all, just not that much. I appreciate his hotness though ;)

[wickedvengeance.livejournal.com]

Zach is just a lot more my type than Chris is. :)

[elli.livejournal.com]

I don't really have a type. I can never quite say. I mean... Joe Flanigan looks more like Zach for instance.

So brilliant really. I didn't believe Karl Urban could pull it off especially.

So was I curious if he was able to pull it off - and he did it. From the first scene of Kirk and Bones, there was chemistry. It was fantastic.

[elli.livejournal.com]

So totally and completely. I quite loved that!

[tirica.livejournal.com]

I agree! I just watched it today: SO MUCH LOVE! Especially Karl and Zachary! They were perfect in their roles. So perfect. I'm a doctor not a "whatever he said this time" !!!

I'll probably watch it again tomorrow. =)

[elli.livejournal.com]

And Chris and Anton and Simon and Zoe!!! I watched it twice now. Probably will go a third time next week.

[wickedground.livejournal.com]

why was everyone afraid Karl Urban wouldn't make a believable Bones *is curious*

I cried right at the beginning, omg it was so sad and epic :/ I loved the things they did without any sound. Very nice.

[elli.livejournal.com]

I dunno why. I cannot really say ;) Not that his helps. And I had tears in my eyes each time. Hardly ever happens to me.
