In terms of looks alone, set phasers on "STUN."
Here's some background. The Cinema-Mad Sibling went to a late-night premiere last night, and this morning he called me with groggy enthusiasm. He sounded completely exhausted but also completely delighted. He proceeded to proclaim that he wore a red shirt to the cinema last night in honor of all the nameless red shirt ensigns (otherwise known as "cannon fodder on Kirk-Spock-McCoy away missions"). Funny guy, that Cine-Sib.
So! Since he was so tired, I didn't demand a full review, but I did want some immediate feedback.
"Review it in one word!" I said.
"Kick butt!"
"That's two words."
"Not if you HYPHENATE it. Kick-butt. One word."
"Whatever."
He'll return later with a full review, but he just sent me a review in haiku. Here it is!
Star Trek new again
About time they got it right
Uhura... uh-hot
As for the Cine-Sib fuss about Uhura (Zoe Saldana), here's a little visual aid:
"Hailing frequencies open"
= Star Trekspeak for "What's your number, baby?"

I absolutely loved all the characters except for the new Spock -- i liked the original stoic version more than the new condescending version
