I just can't wrap my head around how this is going to work. The villain is played by Eric Bana who has significant presence on screen, and the heroes are being played by heart-throb TV actors... How will that ever come off as a believeable conflict? It's like Harvey Keitel vs. Haley Joel Osment.

Honestly, Ryder is far from the most confusing/disconcerting addition to the cast of the new Star Trek film, but her involvement still manages to make me wary. We shall see.

I remember reading a magazine article long ago, might have been Rolling Stone magazine, in which some of Ryder's famous acting friends commented on how many of Ryder's fans were Star Trek geeks. Seems like Abrams made an insightful choice in casting Ryder, because now Henrik and I have to see this new Star Trek movie. Until now, I was underwhelmed by all of the news about this new movie. If only they had made a risky move in casting Jessica Alba as Uhura. (I know Greg. You were within a few feet of her recently at the TFF. Yes, I'm jealous.)
