I went in with an open mind. A lot of bashing was going on before, and I distanced myself from that to be partial. SO! The cast / acting was spot on. The FX were cool as well. The timing of the movie was great as time passed quickly. The movie did not leave me with a WOW! I need to see it again feeling, but it did not leave me hating it either. I am torn over it. Abrams said this movie was not for "Trekkies" and he is right. If you love fast paced action this movie is for you. If you are a die hard TOS fan then this is not the movie for you. JJ said that by the end of this movie, they can tie in to TOS and beyond. But not spoiling anything here, some classic TOS episodes can not happen now due to this movie.
