I’m gonna out to watch “Star Trek”. Here in Brazil is opening today, and I’ll catch the 1st theater’s session near of my home.
And since some of you saw the movie, I know you maybe have your own impressions about it. I’ll be glad if you share it with us. So, use this post to make it, please. This is a way for us to read what you have to say about the movie, and to avoid other visitors to read unwanted spoilers. This post will be linked in the sidebar, so every visitor can, maybe, read what do you think about the movie.
If you don’t want to share your impressions about the whole movie, say a word about what do you think on Zach’s performance. Let’s discuss it. 
See you in a few hours.
Edit I’m back. And, holy shit, the movie is amazing!
Click to view ▼
Need to say first that watching the movie I laughed, I cried, I cheered. An amazing movie, that even non sci-fi fans can watch and enjoy it. JJ Abrams and whole crew really did an amazing movie, that made everybody in the room applauded in.
Can’t find words to say how good Zachary is as Spock. An amazing performance, you can feel his emotions even when he try to hide it (because vulcans are moved by logic). Zach owned the movie. And I wasn’t the only one who think the same, and c’mon, not everybody in that room was a Mr. Quinto fan. 
Spock and Uhura are hot together, great chemistry! Need to see this again in the sequels.
And everybody is talking about Spock and Kirk (total love by Kirk!), but there’s great scenes between Spock and Bones. Great lines!
Simon made a hilarious Scotty.
My beloved Winona… So pretty, even in a few scenes she can be remarkable. Glad to see you back in a great movie. 
I cheered when Nimoy came on screen. Everybody did.
The whole cast is amazing. From Chris to Yelchin, is pure entertainment, for Trekkies and newbies.
The hardest part now is wait for the sequel. I even cannot wait for the DVD…

The movie was amazing, zachary did an amazing job along with the rest of the cast, I really loved watching it and hope to see it many more times
May 9th, 2009
Star Trek is an AWESOME movie I have ever seen! Zach did a really awesome and excellent job as Spock. I really loved his performance throughout the movie. I also loved the relationship between Spock and Uhura, can’t wait to see it blossom in the sequel.
May 9th, 2009
Saw this movie last night and IT’S FREAKING AWESOME. Quinto was perfect. Heck, the whole movie was. Being one of two Westerners in the theater I missed out on the thrill of having an audience as jazzed about it as I was but it one one amazing movie. I was really iffy when I went into the theater, thinking ‘Quinto, that’s psycho-Skylar from Heroes, right? How’s he going to make a good Spock?” All my doubts were put to rest though. I can’t see anyone better for the role now. And the romance? Sexy. Really really sexy, more so for how refined it was. I hope we see him in future Star Trek movies. Yay!
May 9th, 2009
Watched it on Thursday (twice!)
I was the only woman in the theatre and I was squeeing like a little girl when he appeared for the first time.
This movie is awesome and I think I am going to watch it again at least twice. I loved the Spock/Uhura romance.
But in one scene when he declines the offer from the Vulcan High Council I thought I saw his famous Sylar stare
I strongly believe that they will release the movie on DVD around Christmas………..
May 9th, 2009
AMAZING!!! I’ve always thought he was the only good thing in heroes and then he goes and literally NAILS star trek’s Spock character. Fantastic job. You just made my night, sir. Thank you
May 9th, 2009
I saw the movie, on the first session, yesterday. And is… great, awesome. Can’t wait to see te sequel, and what will be of Spock, and Uhura. But i really think that we will have a love square, with Kirk in the new movie. Zachary were great, and i never thought in other way, he’s looks like Leonard Simon, and made a fantastic job.
May 9th, 2009
I have loved the character of Skylar on Heroes from the very start and had a feeling when I heard that Zackary was to play Spock that it was going to be good.
Good, that is truely an understatement for his performance.
AWESOME! That describes it far, far better. From the moment he appeared on screen he was Spock. A very sexy Spock who made most of the women in the audience cheer when he was having those sceens with Uhura.
Loved it and can not wait to go later this week and see it for the second time. Truely looking forward to a sequel. Live Long and Prosper Zackary! ( LOL)
May 9th, 2009
I’m very, very tired, so this post is going to be short and to the point:
Zachary Quinto is God among actors. And he’s hot. Extremely. Hot.
Even when he has a dorky haircut and strange eyebrows and pointy ears. I was completely blown away at his amazing performance as Spok. He put such depth and confustion and cuteness into the character. Plus, the kissing scenes were swoon-worthy, I mean, just the way he reacted was so hesitant yet longing and… *sigh*
I think Zach has a new fangirl.
May 9th, 2009
As said. Loved it.
It was properly entertaining for non-Trekkers. Caught it earlier in the week and thought it was pretty darn great. There was enjoyment, laughter; and applause at the end of the film in my theater where the gala premiere in Singapore was held. Guess it passed muster with the Trekkers too. XD
I’m definitely going to catch it again next week!
May 9th, 2009
@ Amanda:
Lol, awesome!
Zach is really a great actor. And his Spock just show this to the whole world. Not everybody likes tv shows, or stop watching it. So not everybody knew Zach from Heroes, or 24, or SoNoTORIous.
I’m glad so many people can know him, and enjoy his work.
May 9th, 2009
Just left the early morning showing and I want to got back and see it again Right. Now.
Star Trek is one of the best movies I have seen in years, and I must admit that Zachary was off my radar until today. I’m in love. He was the perfect Spock and I am now on the hunt for more things that he has starred in. I will be seeing this movie again and again, and don’t get me started on the DVD! Please tell me that this is the first in a line of Star Teck movies with this new generation of stars!!!
May 9th, 2009
@Avee
They already signed for a sequel.
May 9th, 2009
I saw Star Trek Thurs and then again Fri. I thought it was phenomenal. It was funny, really truly laugh out loud funny, but it was well written, it made sense, they even had good physics (or, at the very least, good sci fi physics). I was amazed at Chris Pine, Karl Urban, and Anton Yelchin especially, for their portrayals of their respective characters, it was brilliant and uncanny. But of course, Zach Quinto was clearly the the star, I think (and not just because I like him, ha). Every line he delivered with just the right tone and nuance. Who else could have made ‘live long and prosper’ an insult? And the way he stepped into the frame after nerve-pinching Kirk? It would be so easy for that to be cheesy and dumb, but it just WORKED. I was completely blown away. I cried through nearly the whole film the first time, and I, too, couldn’t speak for a full half hour after. One question: DID ANYONE SEE THE TRIBBLE?
May 9th, 2009
i just got back from seeing it and it was so AWESOME!!!! i loved every second of it. the entire cast was just so perfect and zachary was so amazing!!! every time he appeared on the screen i couldn’t help but smile.=)
May 9th, 2009
I liked it a lot. Zachary did a very well done job. I’ve seen it twice within the last 24 hours and let me tell you it’s still very well enjoyable the second time around. I want to see it again in like a week though. ^-^
May 9th, 2009
watched this last night in San Jose, CA. Zachary’s Spock is just AWESOME! I know this character is supposed to be ‘emotionless’, but Zachary was anything but. His performance was intense, seductive (let’s face it, by the time he is ready to beam into the Romulan ship, we all wanted to give him a farewell kiss!!!) and heartwarming. I’ve never seen his work before, but after this movie I really want to see more. He is just fantastic!
May 9th, 2009
So, yes, I saw Star Trek. My reaction?
It was, beyond a shadow of a doubt, one of the most enjoyable movies I’ve seen in a long time. The writing truly was excellent. A perfect mix of humor with seriousness and catastrophe. There were a number of times when I was cracking up so much that I almost started crying. I really did love the writing, because they could have butchered it, but did a great job making it entertaining.
The cast?
I think I’m going to have to point them each out individually. Because they were all wonderful. Only read if you don’t care about spoilers.
Chris Pine, for me, was a very pleasant surprise. He was amazing in his ability to just make me crack up. There’s a point in the movie when he has an allergic reaction and the interactions between himself, Zoe Saldana, and Karl Urban are spot on and a great spot of humor in the middle of the story. I loved watching him play Kirk as he tries to find his way through the world. And the Kobiashi Maru test? Hilarious! Towards the end of the movie, Spock, (Zachary Quinto), is quoting the probability that they will be successful is under 5%. Kirk then says, quite simply, “Spock, it’ll work”. Pine’s delivery of the line sounds remarkably like Shatner. It was a quick trip down memory lane.
Zachary Quinto, as many already know, is someone I respect as an actor from watching him play Sylar on Heroes. Once again he did a great job portraying my favorite Star Trek character – Spock. Seeing Spock’s origins was very nice to experience. Yes, we’ve seen in the show and movies little glimpses into his past, but not quite as much as we were allowed to see in the new movie. But for me, the most wonderful thing to see was the performances of both Zachary Quinto and Jacob Kogan, who played the young Spock. The struggle to find a balance between Human and Vulcan was something that we as fans have never been allowed to see before. It was refreshing to look into a different side of the character. My favorite Spock moment? Hm. Probably when Pine makes Kirk 1st officer and Spock says “Captain, I’m sorry. The complexities of humor escape me.”
Karl Urban as Bones. Talk about someone getting the diction down! The moment he started on the screen talking about his “fear of dying in something that flies” and the effects of Angorian Shingles, it was like listening to DeForest Kelly all over again. And like I said when talking about Chris Pine in the allergic reaction scene, he was brilliant. “I can fix that!” I completely believe that he’s just beginning to figure out where he belongs on the Enterprise. When Spock informs him that obviously he’s going to have to assume the roles of Chief Medical Officer, and he’s already assumed that was the case and took over. It was a step into his role that he didn’t need to be told to do, which is so like Bones.
Now, in order to talk about Zoe Saldana, I’ll have to take a moment to talk about the whole relationship thing. If I saw her getting together with anyone, it was Kirk. Yes, in the series and the movies they did hint at something possibly being there, but back then, they hinted at everything. The only true reason I actually accept it was her and Zachary Quinto’s performances. They made it completely believable. Because of that, I can take what used to be impossible and make it possible. I may not be the biggest fan of it, but hey, if that’s the only blip on the radar, then I’ll take it.
But Zoe Saldana. She was wonderful. I had forgotten that she had stared in X-Men: The Last Stand, until I watched it again this past weekend. Regarding Star Trek however, I loved the slight pause she gave Pike when he told her to relieve a Lieutenant on the bridge. That slight amount of unease was all I needed to see. For the remainder of the movie, she seems much more at ease with her sudden promotion, but at that first moment, where she seems unsure of herself for the slightest second. That meant the world to me. It showed me that she may seem tough as nails on the outside, but inside, she’s probably terrified of screwing up. My favorite moment for her was the scene when Kirk runs to her with his allergic reaction. “Oh my God, what happened to your hands?!”
John Cho as Sulu. His introduction was great. Trying to go to warp and forgetting something that only took a second to fix. His reaction was excellent. He just sat there, looked frustrated with himself and pushed a button, “We’re ready for warp”. My favorite moment for him was probably when Kirk asked what kind of training he’d had and he replies simply, “Fencing”. What a great throwback to George Takai!
Anton Yelchin as Chekov. Okay, first off, his accent was dead on. Like, I know he doesn’t look quite like Walter Koenig, but his voice sounded exactly like what I remembered from the movies and series! And I totally believed that he was seventeen. His unparalleled enthusiasm showed that more than anything. His excitement at finding out that he knew how to save Kirk and Sulu was so superb. The announcement over the ship about the mission was fantastic!
And Simon Pegg? Do I need to say more? When he said Scotty’s trademark line, cheers erupted from the audience mixing with laughter. Which was the case when anyone said a line we all as fans recognized. Pegg as Scotty was a great bit of comic relief. When Kirk first meets him and hears about the failed experiment, I was cracking up. “I’ll tell you when he reappears.”
Eric Bana as Nero was terrific. A man so misguided by revenge for the death of his world that he can’t see beyond the possibility that he had already changed what he perceived as history. But it’s compellingly believable. When Pike says that he’s mistaken, that Romulus was fine, he screams in both anger and agony, “Don’t tell me it didn’t happen! I saw it happen!” You half want to cry and half want to kill him. You understand his side of the story, you understand his pain. But on the flip side you just saw Spock’s complete torment, (I started crying. Whenever I see Zachary Quinto start to cry I want to bawl my eyes out).
Bruce Greenwood. He has some great lines. Now Pike in the original series only was around, if you count the first pilot, for three episodes. So we don’t have much of a feel for him. But Greenwood seems to reach out, trying to bring Kirk under his wing. The relationship that he has with Kirk is pretty wonderful. He does change Kirk’s life, and puts him on course to become at least somewhat of the man that we know.
And last, but most certainly not least is the marvelous, legendary Leonard Nimoy. How extraordinary is it to see him back on the big screen? Pretty extraordinary. I loved to see Kirk’s reaction to “Spock Prime” and his version of the past. And naturally, when he did the Vulcan salute, I, being the nerd I am, showed the Vulcan salute to the screen. It was nice to see Spock at peace with himself and his duality, which technically we haven’t seen yet. I will never turn down seeing Leonard Nimoy on screen as Spock. He did introduce the world to my favorite character.
The last comment; JJ Abrams. I don’t think he’s ever going to make anything I hate. I think, from here on out, I’m going to just blatantly trust him.
The music was…well, I’m a pretty bad person to ask about music from movies. But the theme, I think, was great. Very memorable. All the way down to Philadelphia, the theme was stuck in my head. It’s the next score I plan on buying. It was definitely sweepingly epic, and every now and then the slow, quiet, emotional music just displayed that the whole thing was amazing.
Overall, Star Trek was brilliant. The casting was great, the interactions of the team was great, and long live the magnificent seven! Me being crazy was so psyched for the movie that as the music began to play and the Paramount screen showed up, I thought I was going to pass out from excitement. I know, I’m a dork.
I’m sorry if I screwed up the story for anyone. This movie is all I can think about. And I did see it twice in one day. 7pm with the family and a few friends and then 11:40 in IMAX with Tara. Pretty amazing right?
To cast, crew, and everyone that helped to make this movie and resurrecting Star Trek, thank you!!
May 10th, 2009
It was AMAZING!!!! It is now my favorite movie of all time. It was sooooo good! Zachary is the reason to like Star Trek and I’m going to see it in IMAX soon!! YAY!!!!!!!!! :-D

May 10th, 2009

May 10th, 2009
I loved the movie! I have never seen the original series, but I found the movie amazing! Zach Quinto and Chris Pine were hot!
May 11th, 2009
omg start trek was the best movie ive ever seen!!!
im not a trekkie or anything. but i loved. that. movie. i heard it made like 70 million in the box office. and around the middle of the movie, i started to think that spock was cute. so thats why im here lol
May 11th, 2009
AMAZING PERFORMANCE, I was shocked…you were right, you do look a lot alike Leonard Nimoy. This fantastic work you’ve done will open thousands of doors for you, and maintain a very busy agenda…you might even need to stop doing T.V. shortly. Just keep you feet on the ground and remember where you came from. YOU ARE AN AWESOME ACTOR, CONGRATULATIONS!!! =O)
May 12th, 2009
My family and I saw “Star Trek” last night, and absolutely loved it! Of course we’re already huge fans of Zachary’s from “Heroes”. So we weren’t surprised ( but still highly enjoyed) at his awesome performance of Spock. Awesome job! I hope your roll on “Heroes” as Sylar isn’t over yet.
May 12th, 2009
WOW! I was never a fan of star trek, but zach quinto is soo hot! And an amazing actor! Because of him, I absolutely loved this movie! He made it all worth watching.
May 12th, 2009
AMAZING! I just had to say that you did my fellow “Spock was my first crush” fans very proud! If there was one thing missing from the original it was Spock’s ability to get down, so to speak. And you did it very well. So thanks for the heart racing moments of seeing my fantasy (make out session w/ Spock) on the big screen. And as a side note your scenes certainly made it a happy day for me and several of the girls in the office who also share first crushes with Spock. Can’t wait for the next one.
May 12th, 2009
OMG, Zack is sooooooo SMEXY in Star Trek… THAT MOVIE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zach Quinto… just soooo delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
May 12th, 2009
I was just going to watch the movie because Zach Quinto was in it and hes freakin hot, but the movie turned out to be awesometastic. They NEED to make a sequil ASAFP ^_^
May 13th, 2009
I took my mother to see it on Mother’s Day (at her request). It was a lot of fun to watch, nicely paced, with enough humor and character moments to pay homage to the classic TOS and to establish the subtle differences we are about to experience with the new version.
It looked fantastic and it sounded great.
I went into into with as little details as possible, having managed to avoid two years of press, blogs and sky-writing! No complaints from this old Trekker. I was, however, completely floored by Zachary’s portrayal of Spock. This is the Spock I always wanted! It was s fluid and logical it almost brought tears to my eyes. Smart, conflicted and hot: what’s not to love. can’t wait for the sequel (though I need to see this one a couple more times before I buy the DVD).
Outstanding.
May 13th, 2009
Okay, I’m a Star Wars fan but I’ve seen Star Trek two times already. I am so addicted to this movie! Loved it!!!
May 13th, 2009
I’ve saw it twice and honest to god it was one of thee best movies ive ever seen.
. 
Chris and Zach were incrdible and gorgeous as usual
Going again on Friday, can’t wait.
May 13th, 2009
OMG for the first time ever i watched a star trek movie and was oddly drawn to spock,now this is strange before i would look at syler – not very sexy but now i look at syler in a new way because of zachary’s portrayal of spock,the way he played spock was the way i think gene r wanted it to be played especially the long awaited actual interracial kiss which he wanted to be between uhura and spock but never got to see,but in this new movie we get that, from villain to hero zachary quinto has finally become a genuine sex symbol in my eyes ,may this new series of trek movies and zach live long and prosper
May 13th, 2009
I have been a Star Trek fan as long as there has been Star Trek, and Spock was always one of my favorite characters. Mr. Quinto, you have done a superb job of portraying the iconic Mr. Spock. May you live long and prosper. As to Sylar, well, you just creep me out, which is the whole point. So again, superb job! I look forward to seeing more of you in pointy ears as well as my least-favorite “Hero”.
May 13th, 2009
I thought the movie was excellant. And Zach was quite believable as a young Spock! I WASNT SURE I would like the movie as I am an OLD Trekkie, but was VERY pleasantly surprised! Good Job!!
May 14th, 2009
Star Trek. This movie was beyond anything I have ever seen. It was funny, intense, exciting and even a little sexually taught. Chris Pine is a certail a hottie, but Zach, dang. He is Spock, but finer. I can’t wait until it’s out on DVD/Blue Ray. I wanted to watch it all over again when I was in the theatre. My hat is off to the entire cast/writers. As for Zach, I’m looking forward to watching his star rise.
May 14th, 2009
Ok, someone PLEASE e-mail me the answer to this,
I have seen Star Trek 5 times so far.
I have read a few things on here about a sequel..
Is there going to be a sequel????
God I hope so!!
Thanks <3
May 14th, 2009
..Have seen the movie twice now, and gonna see it tommorrow night again..just can’t get enough of it…(love Zach on THE BIG SCREEN!!)
Great movie..liked it a lot!
May 14th, 2009
Is it wrong that I’m developing a man-crush for Zachary? Oh my. Sylar is one of my favourite characters from Heroes, so I was a little nervous about seeing the movie. I was wondering if I’d be looking at the screen and thinking “Sylar” every time Zachary was on. But no, with the exception of the part where he was choking Kirk, it never crossed my mind – all I saw was Spock. Thanks Zachary for playing the role so well. My friend Korin in Texas already had the hots for you, but now you’ve turned her into a trekkie. Good work.
May 14th, 2009
Lyssa, Star trek will have a sequel.
May 14th, 2009
i went to see the Star Trek film last night, i had watched the trailer and my expectations were high.
To my surprise the film was actulary what it said on the tin but better! i really enjoyed the film the special affects are amazing i felt like i was in space to! 
Spoch played by Zach Quinto was a very good actor 
and so was the rest of the actors.the special effects were totually amazing they looked real i would definatly watch it again. everyone should watch it it is the best film ever!!! i would give it a 10/10 x 
May 15th, 2009
it was goooooood :O) most of the time i was thinking of “wow, this is where sylar comes in a cuts the forehead” hehehehe
i seriously though kirk and uhura were gonna get together. though, i did not know spock and uhura were together hahahaa. because on some magazine cover, chris and zoe are position very close like they were together…i just think its weird. that it’s chirs posing with zoe ad not zach. oh well.
overall great movie. GREAT cast.
May 15th, 2009
I just know that I like Zach as Spock He really awesome!!!
but my family pick Chris Pine The movie is cool i like every scene especially spock hit kirk but i dont’t like the scene that they were kid and i don’t want Winona Ryder died…
May 15th, 2009
Zachary Quinto IS Spock.
The movie is amazing.
May 15th, 2009
OH, now this movie was brilliant all the way around. Great casting, direction, special effects, acting, the works. And the soundtrack was AWESOME!!! Let me tell you, I’ve seen the movie twice already and I’m planning to see to it again for the third time, mostl likely this weekend. All of the actors were positively wonderful but let me tell you, QUINTO STOLE THE SHOW!! Not to take away from Chris “Captain Kirk” Pine but I just totally melted for Quinto and his portrayal of Spock. Conflicted, emotional at times and somehow he made it all just downright smolderingly, chillingly sexy. I was sitting there wishing I were Uhura smooching it up with him in that elevator and transporter room.
It was something about the eyes, his movements and the beautiful delivery of his lines. Beautiful speaking voice, which was something I noticed when watching his portrayal of Sylar on “Heroes”. So anyway here I am, an overnight big fan of ZQ and I’m waiting to see what he does next! In the meantime I will go to see Star Trek a few more times, particularly on IMAX. Keep up the good work, friend!
OH, and I hope the sequel will have Spock and Uhura continue their romance. The scenes with them were very tender, lovely and romantic. Love it, love it, love it!
May 15th, 2009
Saw it twice last week when it came out. Once on Thursdays night preview and then again on Friday afternoon, so I guess it sums it well… i loved it!!
Loved all characters/actors. Excellent choice for all of them! Hats off JJ Abrams! And as for Zachary Quinto, who would have thought Spock could be so darn sexy!!!! Lucky Uhura!!
May 16th, 2009
I’ve been waiting for this movie for one year and it was beter han i expected. See it three time so far … LOVE IT! Quinto is a great Spock, touching, ironic, brave. All the cast was awesome.
May 16th, 2009
THIS MOVIE ROCKED MY SOCKS OFF!!!!
I WAS AT THE EDGE OF MY SEAT THE ENTIRE TIME!!!!
May 17th, 2009
I saw the Movie tonight and Zachary did an amazing job as did Chris. When Spock realized He didn’t save His mother, I fought tears. The whole cast did an incredible job and from some of the people who were at the theater with Me, they loved it (There were no seats left and The theater had to open another room cause so many people came!)
May 17th, 2009
I never heard of him untill I saw Star Trek,but now I’m an Zachary Quinto fangirl.
Anyway I really loved the movie,and Zachary was excellent as Spock.
May 18th, 2009
I’m a young 47 and grew up with “Star Trek” as my favorite show. I am telling you young man ; you pulled it off perfectly!!! Zachary, please do us a favor; if you get offered for a sequel to this, PLEASE do it again!! You are SPOCK!! I enjoyed the movie soo much. I truly hope there will be a second and third STAR TREK. Live long and prosper

May 18th, 2009

May 19th, 2009
oh yes im from germany and im 17 years old!!!! Im the biggest star trek -fan who ever lived!!!!^^^^^^
May 19th, 2009
I’m a big Star Trek Fan and was very sceptical about this new crew. But I was also curious. On Sunday I was in the cinema. I’m coming from Germany. And I was fascinated, especially from Zachary. He made a great job in the film.
Tomorrow I’ll go again in the cinema. And this time I’ll look the film in english.
May 19th, 2009
wow!
just wow!
you WILL cry before the tilte comes up btw!! its enevitable, sorry.
But its also really funny and the effects are totally mind blowing.
Zach’s performance?
I seriously doubt any actor.. except from lenord haha.. could have done as good a job as he did! he really was a fantastic spock!
~Rachael
May 19th, 2009
I was changed after I watched this movie. I walked into the theater not realizing how good Quinto was going to be in the movie. Spock is a very complex character, and Zachary pulled it off. I loved the romance between him & Zoe (Uhura). Also, I wanted to add, you can really tell that Spock & Kirk are going to be grrrreat friends. ^_^ o.O I smell bromance, do you?
I loveeeeee Zachary Quinto!
May 21st, 2009
I was a mere slip of a girl when Trek came out in the mid 60′s. I didn’t invent the phrase, but I’ve always believed that Spock is the thinking woman’s sex symbol. When I saw the new movie, it was like seeing old friends after a very, very long time. Zachary, thanks for allowing me to see one of the “loves of my life” once again.
Your portrayal was spot on and more. I couldn’t have been more pleased.
May 21st, 2009
I saw the movie last night with some friends. I’m not a Treky so I wasn’t sure I would even enjoy the movie, but I thought that if I didn’t then I would at least have Chris Pine to look at right? But as the movie got further into it I fell in love with Zach’s character Spock. I loved the movie and loved Chris aswell but by far Zach stood out and took my heart. And man that vocab!!! HOT! I like a boy with a brain

Went to the 7:00 pm premier and was not diappointed. It surpassed everything I thought it would be, I wasn’t expecting much but it made me feel like an idiot for not realizing how amazing it was.
I was fortunate, I’d never seen Zachary Quinto in Heroes for me, so my viewership of him wasn’t jaded by his character and he enveloped Spock well.
Great film.

Absolutely loved the film. Can’t name one flaw – and Zack was mindblowing.
I saw it with a friend before the weekend at the IMAX, pretty much anticipating a mediocre sci-fi. We were both blown away, and although the rest of the cast were perfect for their roles, Zach definitely stole the show. Saw it for the second time today with my mother, who was also very impressed (that’s a bit of a hard job with mum!).
Will probably see it once or twice more in the coming month!

Well, I must admit that being a staunch trekkie fan for many many years – I was a little skeptical about seeing the new Star Trek Movie. It was really only the fact that Zachery Quinto was cast as Spock (as I am a very dedicated Heroes fan too.) that I decided to go and see it.
I was absolutely blown away! Bursting into action from the first minute, the action intensity and the actors themselves where instantly captivating.
I am definately going to see it again and my only problem with the movie as a whole is that my kids are still too young to watch it and experience a little of what I have enjoyed for decades.
Thank-you Zach for bringing the much loved character of Mr Spock into the 21st century.

The movie was awesome!
I came into this movie, not being a major fan of any of the actors and not knowing about anything Star Trek and walked out feeling great!!
Zach was brilliant – absolutely brilliant…and because of this performance I am a fan now!
(I knew him from Heroes and I watch it religiously but I never thought much of him…that’s changed now!!)

Seen it 4 times so far…yes I’m a bit obsessive but it’s Zach as Spock! Two of my fav things in one:-)
The movie stands up to multiple viewings too, which is not always the case.
Zach was a fantastic Spock and with Nimoy, completely stole the movie. I knew Zach was great at nuances in his expressions from watching him as Sylar and this movie just cements what a great ACTOR he is.
Loved it!

Zachary as Spock
Then you have Chris Pine who made an awesome Kirk ( I didn’t like Shatners too smarmy) but Chris got it brilliantly.
I even managed to turn my daughter into a reluctant trekker! so that proves just how good it is so if you haven’t seen it yet, you must go it will make you cry, laugh and sigh it has everything you could want in a film and a superb cast where not one person lets the film down!!! Go now!!!!!!

I saw the movie just yesterday and it was great! All my expectations after reading comments about the movie came true! The actors did a great job, because I think its a hard job to step in the footsteps of the “original” Star Trek crew!
Best wishes all the way from the Netherlands!

I don’t know why, but Star Trek as of June 2nd, 2009 hasn’t been on the theater yet. I’m waiting. Fortunately (I’m a bit ashamed to confess here), I’ve seen the pirated version. That makes me even want to see it more on the theater, and drag few friends with me. Anyway, this movie is totally awesome, and I find it hard to take my eyes off of Spock. Zachary Quinto really makes Spock the only person from another planet that many of us wouldn’t mind to marry.
Apart from that the movie has really great action and storyline. A standing ovation to both Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine for their awesome talent. Two thumbs up for everyone who made this movie available! No piracy anymore, I’ll buy the original for sure and watch it over and over again.

I loved Star Wars…opps I mean Star Trek. No just kidding!
It was Ah-mazing, really it surpassed all my expectations, which I hadnt even raised too high. Quinto was an amazing Spock. My favourite part was the little alien thing that served on that Arctic planet with Simon Pegg. My friends and I fondly dubbed him Mr. Poo because he looks like…well he looked like dried…dog poo lols.
But we love him really, it made us sad when Mr. Poo was sad because he was left behind with future Spock. Sad Mr. Poo…
Thumbs up! Id totally see it again.

I think Zachary has done a very impressive job! This is my first time watching Star trek, and I’m totally amazed by it.By the way, I do like Spock!

Hi!! I just have watched it once but… I’m eager to watch it again!!
The special effects are simply awesome!! I loved the music, it’s beautiful.
And what to say about the story itself! A worthy reborn of the original series, and I dare to say, the other movies.
I liked the new actors, (specially Zachary ;D), every one of them gives it’s character a personality of it’s own. God, I’m recommending it to all my friends!!!

Where to begin? The entire crew and supporting actors were perfectly cast. The story line flowed, you cared about ALL of the characters, the comedy was dead on and the ending left you drooling on the floor for more. I do not watch much TV, so the character of Sylar was unknown to me, but the accolades that need to be bestowed on Mr. Quinto are countless. As a ST fan from my childhood in the 70′s, I believe transitioning the iconic character of Mr. Spock onto a new actor has a much heavier burden of responsibility than any other ST member. Honestly, I had to see this movie again immediately following my first showing just to take in how flawlessly Mr. Quinto nailed it. My favorite scene: Kirk slapping Spock on the arm and his response…fell out of my chair – twice – so far. The lead up was completely false. This movie was about Spock, plain and simple. Kudos to you Zachery Quinto, I look forward to seeing much more of your work in the near future. Have a nice day.

Star Trek was awesome! I’ve seen some old Star Trek movies before I saw the new one because otherwise I wouldn’t have known anything about it.. and the new Star Trek movie is so much better. I watched it only because of Zach, but it was so good, that even if he wouldn’t have been in it, I still would’ve watched it.
But anyway, Zach did an amazing job! He really proved that he’s the best actor ever. And I must say that Chris Pine was really really good too.
And I loved that they used Beastie Boys song “Sabotage” in it, that was so cool.
