I’m a little late reading his interview. I always thought DeForest Kelly had a certian sex appeal of honesty and caringness. I see that in Urban as he plays off of Kelly’s character. It is good to see at least one actor trying to respect Kelly’s character of McCoy. The playful banter between him and Spock has always been a highlight of the series. And Spock would play right along with it. McCoy’s sensitivity is what made the show human. And I think that Urban fits very nicely into the McCoy saddle. He seems like a real nice guy. Urban will continue to awaken the McCoy character that we all know and love.

#65/77-I’m hoping you have seen the film by now and realized that (with all due respect) you had no idea what you were talking about by judging the movie on philosophical merits just based on the trailer. This movie answers the question of what would you become if something significant in your past was changed. There is nothing more deeply philosophical than asking “if this had happened in my life, would I still be the same person?”

Lovely interview, this clip of Karl’s McCoy instantly revamped my enthusiasm for Urban in ST:XI since I had initially heard of his (and Pegg’s) casting. Now, Urban initially caught my eye and embarrassingly (for the first time) my libido in “The Bourne Supremacy” and I’m glad to see him hit a broad audience and shine!

Karl Urban’s eloquent responses remind me of the moral elements in ST, that made ST:TNG’s weekly airings, and ST:TOS marathons “church night” throughout my childhood. A real gentleman.

To TrekMovie team: ‘
Thank you for a great site…I stumbled here one night looking for all the associated marketing for the movie, and after sending multiple e-mails to my Trekkie father, bookmarked the blog & I’ve been lurking ever since. You’ve really helped this out-of-work loner feel connected to the anticipation that makes opening night great!

Watched 7pm Thus. showing, and now it’s 6:45am Fri and I’m still looking around at all those spoiler posts I avoided earlier. THANKS

This movie was AMAZING and Urban played a PERFECT McCoy!! Pine and Quinto played their roles perfectly, and if you ask me Anton was OUTSTANDING as Chekov, talk about underrated!!

Honestly, I thought the only member of the new crew who didnt remind me of the old was Cho’s Sulu. To me it seemed more like John Cho playing John Cho. He didnt seem to do ANYTHING Sulu-like in the entire movie.

And that is about my only complaint! Im certainly not going to nitpick this film because its THAT DAM GOOD, so I just hope some of the picky trekkies can get over it and enjoy this movie!! Because I cant imagine it getting much better then this folks.

ENJOY THE MOVIE!!!

hehe… #65, don’t get me started on the complexities of generations, nemesis or insurrection. I mean, I’ll admit that nemesis suffered from similar issues as this movie – where it had some great philosophies to debate and great ideas to explore but it never really opened them up.

But come on! Generations was masterfully philosophical. Let’s use an example that’s easy to forget… When Soran has captured Geordi and he’s saying that Geordi should change his visor, get real eyes because shouldn’t he be ashamed he’s not normal? And Geordi asks, What’s normal? And Soran says, “Normal is what everybody else IS, and you are not.” … and then the movie gives you time to think about that. And that’s just one small example. Is time a predator? Is time an ally? Does time try to take things away from us? Or does it remind us to value the things here and now? What is your relationship to time? Astonishing philosophies. DO NOT get me started.

And insurrection? I know it’s not popular, but it’s about my second or third favorite Trek ever. There’s a lot to talk about there. And I’d love to… because Trek is about those discussions. Consider Ebert’s attack on it, why don’t you? If you could give immortality to the Federation, is moving all those people out of their homes wrong? It’s not so black and white when you really consider it…

“I look forward, if I get the opportunity, to continue to develop it in further installments…”

Music to my ears.

It’s funny, when I originally heard some details about the movie, I mostly anticipated seeing Leonard Nimoy on screen. But now, I am most looking forward to seeing DeForrest Kelley come alive again through Urban’s portrayal. For me, at least, I’ve come to realize that Bones is the character I’ve missed the most since the original actors left the stage.
