Worth seeing definately

This movie definitely moves the Star Trek franchise back in the right direction. I see lots of the TOS and TNG fans are complaining because it is in a way severing the history they know so well. If you see this for what it is, a desperately needed reboot of the franchise, you will be very happy. Abrams cuts the cord with the previous history in a very well explained plot line that does not pull punches, yes the good guys do sometimes die in this Trek universe.
All the actors nailed their characters, most notable of course is Quinto as Spock and Urban as Bones. Nimoy is spectacular in this film and provides the bridge from one world to the next with all the depth we have come to expect from the original Spock.

Yes, I recommend this movie.

Targeted to general audience

As typical with Hollywood these days they moved the material of this movie to target a more general audience and also provide maximum merchandising saturation. Simply put the story is not horrible but is like the trying to compress Lord of the Rings into one movie. The ORIGIN plot of this should have been more of the meat of the movie, at least a good 1/4 of it instead of being this 3 minute intro peice blending into a montage of James and Victor's crazy adventures.
The effects as expected were absolutely brillant but it was a case of attempting to make up for substance with flash and pizzaz.
Bottom line is the story is good if you are not a fan, If you are a Wolverine fan you are going be really upset with this.
