Moments when you knew you were watching Star Trek

[Trekwatcher]

Most of it felt like Star Trek, and an honourable mention has to go to the very last scene, when Kirk strides onto the Bridge in his captain's uniform and calls out, "Bones!" The way Chris Pine channelled William Shatner was spooky.

Hmmm...I didn't get much of a channeling Shatner vibe from Pine. I actually felt like he was going out of his way to create his own representation of Kirk and to avoid Shatner's mannerisms and speaking style. Pine has said in interviews that he was told to do it his own way.

You're right - Pine was told to play Kirk, as opposed to trying to play Shatner playing Kirk, and throughout the movie he did exactly that. I'm pretty sure, however, that Iamnotspock was talking only about that one line standing out. Just for that moment, Pine's delivery really did remind of Shatner, and I have an idea that it was intentional. To have done it any more than that would have been too much, but it felt right, there at the end.

in that one scene it wasnt just the delievery of the line but how he set in the chair.

What about that part where Kirk says" Bones, buckle up!" at the ending.

 

[startrekrcks]

Yes he was so like Shatner and that is a good thing isn't it?

 

[Mirren Audax]

Me, Norm, and Big Dan discussed this very point as soon as we left the cinema, and we all agreed: the pings!

Karl Urban as Doctor McCoy also, a bad Bones would've sunk this enterprise.

Indeed, that is exactly what I meant, and couldn't have put it better myself.

 

[Agenda]

A few things:

-the hologram of Ambassador Spock
-"What gives you the right to attack a Federation starship?"
-San Francisco and Starfleet Academy
-dead hulks of Federation starships floating in space
-ice planet (actually, no, that was SW)

And many more...
