Here's the not-so-secret secret to a good reboot - it's got to be as good or better than the original "boot." I absolutely love Chris Pine - he's the perfect version of a 2013 James T. Kirk. I also have to give it up for the always hilarious Simon Pegg as Scotty and John Cho's take on Sulu. And you can never go wrong with a tribble appearance.
But the mashup of roles (nobody will ever top Leonard Nimoy's "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one" speech) came up a little bit short for me. And although I think Benedict Cumberbatch (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) is one of the most talented actors working today, there is just no way to out-Khan Ricardo Montalban, the biggest, baddest, most charismatic villain to terrorize the galaxy ever. I miss his chest-baring jacket and giant Klingon necklace.
Bonus Bones: 1
Look for the giant, cuddly dog in the opening sequence. Other than that, there are no dogs in space.
