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.

I think that may be for the best, that Pine learned from paper. It was refreshing for him to have less study of the mannerisms than some of the other cast did, and I realize it might just be because I've never been that into Kirk, but still, I liked it that way.
