I went to see it this morning, and loved it. So much so that I just might go back again - first time in a LONG time I've wanted to see a movie more than once in theatres. Some purists are, as one might expect, belly-aching, but I think the way J.J. Abrams handled things is just fine. For somebody who claims not to be a hardcore fan, he's clearly done the work and the research and it all shows.

As a longtime alternate-history fan, I particularly liked the basic conceit of the movie for rebooting the franchise by essentially creating a whole new timeline. Of course, I suppose not much of the new canon will be showing up in UF at the outset, but I was particularly struck by how much Abrams' Trekverse looks, especially in its small details (frex, in the scene where Scotty makes his appearance, there's a paper notebook on the table behind him) like some of us might have imagined the UFverse to look.

And I mustn't forget to commend Wedge and Ardie on their work, either... :)
