Star Trek Reboot

One thing that I think I haven't seen anyone else mention is how well the recast actors did with the body language of their counterparts. Sure, it wasn't McCoy's voice, or Sarek's, or anyone else's -- but they had taken the pains to mimic the body language. Sarek's ramrod-straight spine. Kirk's various ungainly/macho ways of sitting in his command chair. They got it right, which made up for the voices being different.

McCoy's voice wasn't the same, but his speech patterns were very close. Think of how he said, "I suffer from aviphobia. It's a fear of dying in something that flies.".

Karl Urban had me at "Leonard McCoy," and that was before the movie even premiered!

He had me at warning that he might puke.
