Have watched since the originals first aired. Raised 2 sons on it who went on to science based careers and who are raising their own kids on it. Saw it with family on mother's day and sat in front of a boy, about 7, who was doing the same. During an early scene where young Spock is in school, the little boy piped up and said "Why are they learning so much?". I grinned for the rest of the film. Another child, living in a culture where willful ignorance is considered the norm, got a glimpse of something better. Mission accomplished. May Star Trek, in any incarnation, live forever.
