They should just make CGI kirk and spock and have the original actors voice the characters and add imitations for Bones and Scotty…

I dont like Quinto as spock.. he is demonic and scary.. spock was serious and not scary.

My big “problem” with Quinto is his voice.

Nimoy has such a strong, distinctive voice. Even when Nimoy is talking in real life, he sounds kinda alien. While Quinto, to me, just has a kinda “normal” voice, so at this stage I don’t see what others are seeing in him.

I hope I am proven completely wrong by his portrayal. It’s all down to that, I guess.

its interesting, #37, that u say u’d be happy if spock didnt have pointed ears…becuz st: enterprise they established wat a half vulcan-half human would look like….vulcan ears and human eyebrows—id have liked though if theyd gone more into re-envisioning vulcans to look more like roddenberrys initial concepts which wouldve been more true to vulcans living on a volcanic world…dark red/brown skin

also: a sidenote as to y jj chose not to do the ridges on romulans here: if he’d gone with the ridges, with the bald heads the romulans wouldve looked very much like the ubervamps from buffy the vampire slayer….its bad enough the remans look like certain interpretations of nosferatu

hell, I’d be happy if spock didn’t have pointed ears….different, we need different. On the other hand the integration of the colors and the poster gives that late 60’s psychedelic feel. Everyone has to admit that is COOL!

I think hoping for the voice to be similar is just a valid as hoping for the mannerisms, IMO. I would also point out that if you spend time trying to get someone that looks like Nimoy, and someone that has the mannerisms, it makes more than a moderate degree of sense to also try to get the voice as close as possible. Maybe a whopping amount of sense due to the fact that Nimoy is also in the film.

I’m not expecting clones and pretty sure I didn’t mention cigarettes. I am comfortable with Pine and the others. I only point out that Quinto’s normal voice is a bit far from Nimoy’s.

Have a nice day Mr. Closet

Well welcome back, Stanky. I’ve missed your wet blanket approach.

Still stuck in the evolutionary process I see.
