I have been a Trek fan for years and I felt this movie had some of the same feel as the original series and subsequent movies. The charactures were true to their original selves except for the Spock/Ohura thing. The only real complaint I have with the movie was that some times the action was blurred or too fast, so you weren't sure what happened. Advances in special effects sure help ad to this type of movie (space/futuristic sci-fi).
