Very good but not great.

Pros: Great job of reinventing the Star Trek characters. Lots of action. Chris Pine did a wonderful job of channeling the inner life of a young James T. Kirk. The other cast members were spot on too; except, maybe, Simon Pegg who didn't quite capture Scotty. (Scotty was not a comedian but a total gear head who loved, honored and protected his engines with all his heart and soul.)
Cons:Villian was one dimensional. Action scenes weakened the movie. Most scenes shot in extreme close up with a phrenetic hand held camera feel that left me unable to really follow and understand the action. Need more long establishing shots and slightly slower pace.
Good start though to what I hope will be a great new future for Star Trek.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
