Thank you J.J. Abrams!!!

Okay, Trekkie fans complaints aside, this movie rocks! J.J. Abrams goal was to rejuvenate the series and give it a new lease on life to a new generation of viewers. To that end it is very successful. My 18 year old son will attest to that as it is his new favorite movie of his lifetime. Don't laugh, because to a large extent that was it's most important goal so mission accomplished. More sequels to come!
Being an older Trek fan (not a Trekkie, thank you!), I found the movie truly enjoyable ranking right up there with original cast's "Wrath of Khan" and "Voyage Home". It is well cast and I like most of the twists it gives the young versions of the characters during the film's early stages as it sets it all up. So what's not to like?
Well, I do not want to play spoiler here so I will just leave it at the fact that the overall premise and story feels a bit recycled if you've been a fan for awhile. New fans won't find a problem there. Other than that it's just a personal point for me in that I feel that old Spock (Nimoy) could have given way a bit more at the end to new Spock and Kirk. It felt a little heavy handed like it all was done to appease the faithful. New Kirk (Pine) should have done the final voiceover for "Space. The final frontier."
In the end? Great entrtainment and a great movie to enjoy on Blu-ray.
P.S. Bring on the dual format "flipper" discs, already!!!
What's great about it: Casting and special effects are dead on!
What's not so great: Some of the storyline feels recycled.
I would recommend this to a friend!
