I was never a big Star Trek (or sci fi movies/book fan). I have seen a couple episodes of the original and the rest of the series.
That said:
THIS MOVIE WAS FREAKING AWESOME!
I did not want this movie to end. I want the sequel out next week. I want this show to be a regular series.

I'm A huge Star Trek Fan.  I went to see the movie last night and I was impressed. with the exception of Checkov, the cast did a great job. I was happy to see Leonard Nimoy playing the original Spock as well. The Only sad thing is I still wish William Shatner had a part in it.

I loved it! I grew up with Star Trek and TOS is my favorite. Every time they introduced a character in the movie I got PUMPED! Definitely going to see it again so I can make sure it's still good without the "OMG it's Kirk! OMG it's Spock! OMG it's Bones!" factor.

My UT son came in for the weekend to surprise me for Mothers Day, so we went as a family (minus oldest) to the IMAX showing of it Saturday night. I LOVED IT!!
I actually cried at the end when they were playing the original music from the series. I cried because I was soooooo HAPPY that they didn't screw it up!! I grew up with the Star Trek series, then when the movies came out, we were die hard fans. I was scared that I would be watching it feeling like the characters weren't right, or that it was too far of a departure from the originals that I wouldn't like it. But, I thought ALL the actors were spot on! Loved our new (younger) Spock, but was so pleased to see Leonard Nemoy!! The new Kirk was great, not a parody (which I was worried about) - but a tribute!! Loved Scottie!!
When my kids were young, we would drive to Colorado for skiing vacations, and in our mini van we would set up the VCR-TV and watch back to back to back Star Trek marathons. Such wonderful memories of that.
At the end of the movie, my youngest leaned over and said, "We need to add that one to our marathons." Loved that!!!
GO SEE IT!!! Even if you're not a Trekie - it is wonderful!

As a Star Wars junkie, many of us force-addicts support Star Trek to get our sci fi fix...
I liked the movie. It brought some flavor. But I was totally confused with Spock kissing Uhura or vice versa... As a Trekkie purist, I am more use to Kirk's bang-ability... I was wondering what the purpose of that was?
And Cho's Sulu--gottdayum sexxxy... I had to fan myself when he kicked azz!!!
Oh, and how come the Romulans weren't all broke out in their foreheads like they were in the shows and movies?
