Well ok lets get this out of the way. I this movie. It was awesome! And nothing pissed me off...at all. They stayed true to the red shirt gag (I so saw that coming), the pan over the Enterprise made me Squee. The nicely played one liners from Scotty, Bones, and other characters (ie. "I'm giving her all I've got Captin!") were awesome and hilarios in some cases. The Vis FX were AMAZING! Seriously the shot of that city on Vulcan (and the shot of Vulcan it self) were stunning are very realistic. No really those building actually looked like real buildings being shot by a camera.
I also liked the fact that a time travel Star Trek story didn't try to fix the past and go back and save Kirk's father and all that. Nice to see they didn't go down the typical time travel story and actually just let the Alternate timeline go on as is. Very bold I must say, though I'm sure the purists didn't like it.
Now the bad. I did think that Nero coming back in time at the exact moment Kirk's dad was in the area, and Kirk and Old Spock ending up at the same cave seemed very coincidental but I can look past them.
And I'm torn on the whole Vulcan being destroyed thing. I wasn't expecting that and I'm kinda mad and kinda ok with it too. I have mixed feelings. But it was unexpected and very bold and it did work, and I can live with it.
All in all I look forward to seeing this over and over and again (inlike Wolverine which I doubt I'll ever watch again) and of course the sequel that I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing. Live long and prosper!
