He totally submerged his famous aristocratic poise in his screen portrayal of a techno/barbarian who has embraced the mythic example Captain Ahab as a model with which to focus his all consuming hatred of Captain Kirk. His delivery of the Ahab quote “He tasks me!” as the ultimate reason of his hate was no less chilling than Gregory Peck’s original delivery of it in Moby Dick.
I am not a die hard Treker. But a good movie,and a good job, speaks for itself.
Nuff said, John
