Yeah, Karl Urban was really channeling DeForrest Kelley. The other thing I really liked was the soundtrack. Michael Giacchino managed to create "new" old Star Trek music. You could drop that music onto any of the old episodes and it wouldn't be out of place. The main theme has that 1960's "We're going out into space!" feel, there's the big alien menace in space music that would fit right onto "Doomsday Machine" and the female vocals going "Oooooohaaaaaaaah...." for the mind-meld sequence (In case you haven't gathered, I play this soundtrack a LOT while doing artwork....especially space paintings). When the end credits started to roll and they actually launched into Alexander Courage's theme from the original series (which they've never done in any other movie) I yelled "Yes!" and almost started crying.
