Having watched Star Trek from it's original air date in 1966, I'm an original Trek fan, and the tie-ins with original characters and how they met & interacted with one another really worked for me. The action is great, the sound, acting & storyline are all spot-on. My only complaint would be that this movie was not filmed in IMAX format, and seeing it in an IMAX theater did nothing special for it. In fact, many of the images were blurry or out of focus. All-in-all, I've already seen the movie twice, and loved it both times.
