Who is your favorite new cast member/character ?

[SalvorHardin]

For those who've seen the movie obviously.

I thought they were all more or less good.
But if I have to pick one this time I'd pick Karl Urban/McCoy. He may not have much screen time but he is great

Hmm, it's really difficult as I thought they were all perfect, but I suppose I'd have to pick Bones as well, at a push.

 

[EnsignRicky]

What? No Robau? Seriously I'd go with him since the others are merely impersonators of already established and much beloved characters.

I picked Pike. That man's portrayal of Pike is extraordinary; it's like the father Kirk never had. Kirk comes a close second.

Aaaaaaaarghhh...How the hell did I forget Robau

I thought Zachary Quinto made an excellent Spock. Especially the "fascinating" part later in the film.

Anton Yelchin's Chekov is by far my favorite. He wonderfully follows in Walter Koenig's footsteps. It's great that this new movie made me fall in love with that character all over again. I really hope we'll see more of him.

My feelings exactly. The whole theater had a lot of fun with his character throughout the film. And I loved his hero moment. (All of you calling him a Wesley Crusher? For shame!) It was just heartwarming, such good fun.

All things considered, I still had to vote Chris Pine (Salvor, couldn't you have given us, like, three options to choose? Please restart the thread! ) As I could tell from the first clip of the bar scene that was made available recently, the movie itself confirmed that he owns the essence of this character. And every now and then, he manages to get an ever so subtle Shatnerism in there between the lines. I totally believed him as Kirk. This is how you do a lead role in a sci-fi summer blockbuster (take note, Hayden Christensen!) Great job!

My third option would've been Bruce Greenwood, who I always liked. He has the charisma, the presence, the look that just says father figure/leader. I was glad Pike survived the film because I want to see him again in another one. But only if he's in the wheelchair

Chekov by a country mile. A wonderful portrayal of Chekov, not an imitation, he brought so much to the role. I hope Koenig is impressed.

Even though there was no cliff hanger, Obviously this film is screaming for a sequel with the same cast (perhaps not Nimoy however).
