Although J.J. Abrams and his Star Trek origin movie won't be attending SDCC this year, he will be sending these four character posters. Clockwise from the top-left, that's Eric Bana as a villain, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Chris Pine as Kirk, and Sylar as Spock. Let's run these bad boys down, shall we?

• I had totally, totally forgotten Eric Bana was going to be in this movie at all, let alone as the villain. When I see his face tattoos, I just end up thinking of Darth Maul. However, there are certainly worse things Trek could rip off.
• My immediate thought is that Zoe Saldana is very Uhura-like, but I suppose it's all in the hair, which is cut off in the poster. Perhaps it's very Uhurian. I'm reserving judgment.
• I won't, however, reserve judgment on Chris Pine, because without that trademark orange Starfleet shirt, Pine just looks like a smug prick. Kirk was a smug prick...in space. Seriously, he just looks like a guy.
• Zachary Quinto does look a helluva lot like Spock, but if you give me a bowl cut and those ear prosthetics, and I would too. Actually, it just makes me irked they didn't try harder (or even a little) with young Kirk. (Via /Film)
