Though Star Trek purists are really pissed about the altered timeline. They wanted to see “their” Captain Kirk & Co. live out all the events mentioned in the previous series as backstory. Abrams wisely scrapped that idea, so he could make a movie to appeal to people who know nothing about the ST Universe.

But I have to say the young actors playing Kirk, Spock, Uhura, McCoy, Sulu, Chekhov and Scotty do a really great job in capturing the personalities of their predecessors.

Of all of them, I think that Karl Urban does the best job; it’s like he’s possessed by DeForrest Kelly.
