I'm not a fan of science fiction, nor of Star Trek, but I saw all the original series when I was a teenager. I've seen virtually none since except one of the movies (with the whales). I wanted to see this one because of the reviews and because my husband is a fan. It was better than expected but I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. Some very funny moments, and the acting was really fun to watch, though. We saw the IMAX version, which I don't thnk was necessary. The sound was about 30% too loud, too.
