Just got home and I'm in love with the reboot and mostly it's because of how awesome Chris Pine/Zachary Quinto pulled off the new Kirk/Spock. I think they truly did a fantastic job of bringing the series back without screwing up. The music change was kind of 'mmmm....not sure....kinda like it...' and the action was pretty intense. The death of Vulcan really shook me.
But wow they really did cast well. I think the weakest one recast was Chekov but in that I think he was just a bit too hyper etc. Chekov in the OS was an eager puppy but he was a laid back eager puppy. ;)
Overall big thumbs up. Wish I could see it again like now but will have to wait. *cry* All the little things they slipped in from the old shows cracked me up. McCoy jabbing kirk with hypos, the 'w' for v, the sulu screwing up at piloting the ship out with the fleet, the beagle, the vulcan death grip, oh god so many to love!
