A pretty darn good movie, however the storyline was a little disappointing. Why? First, Spock's mother didn't die in the series and second, Vulcan wasn't destroyed in the series or movies.
But I quibble over the small stuff. The acting was great and the special effects were awesome.
Oh Charlize...why? Why? You have an Oscar. Oh Will....why? Why? Oh that's right, the money and you don't have an Oscar. 1hr32min...I'll never get that time back.
