As soon as I heard Beastie Boys, I thought this could be better than just not sucking.
Young Kirk did pretty well; got the body language down, especially the way he sits in the command chair. Sylar already looks like Nimoy. He owns this movie at least as much as Young Kirk. Yes, Spock needs lovin' too (other than Kirk). McCoy was OK, but I don't see what everyone was raving about. Simon Pegg was... Simon Pegg, which isn't a bad thing at all. Uhura... Miniskirt, yes!
Poor Heather... err, Winona Ryder (wasn't Christian Slater in a Trek movie too?) had what 2 minutes of screen time?
Oh, and good to know that Slusho is available in the 24th century.

I read somewhere that the choice of Sabotage was a reference to Kirk's inability to pronounce the word in the original series. Heh... But it really was so perfect.
And I am with you on Bones. He was easily my least favourite of the bunch - his acting just seemed so forced. I feel like he didn't make it his own, he just tried to act like someone acting like old Bones and that seemed pretty weak to me, a little jarring even.
Good call on the Winona/Slater connection. Pump up the volume! :)

Hah! It completely did not register in my mind that that was Winona Ryder. All I remember thinking when she first showed up was "Daaamnnn, Spock's mom was a hottie!" =)
