I'm looking forward to seeing it. However, whenever I see Spock I immediately think "Syler".

I saw the movie tonight. I liked it. Two thumbs up.

If you were a zombie and I had to kill you, I'd feel sad.
I just saw it a few minutes ago here in Seattle at one of the best IMAX theaters in the world and I had a helluva good time.
I'm not a big Star Trek fan and have never seen one of the movies with the "new guys," (Piccard, etc.) and had no idea what I was in for.
I give it two big thumbs-up, particularly because it was essentially a prequel and it captivated the attention of old guys like me and laid the groundwork for a whole new generation of Star Trek fans.
What I probably liked the most was the somewhat convoluted plot, one that didn't condescend to the lowest common denominator. It was sort of like the producers said, "Star Trek fans are generally smarter than the average Joe. Let's give 'em something to dig their teeth into."
Anyway, at the end of the movie it occurred to me that James T. Kirk's original Captain's chair was about 900 feet away at the base of the Space Needle in Paul Allen's museum of Sci-Fi...
It was a good day and I recommend the hell out of this movie.

One thing I didn't like was the whole "shaky cam" style of filming. I'm not sure what's compelling film makers to employ this style (maybe it makes it feel like you the audience are part of the action - dunno) but to me it seems largely unnecessary.
Other than that (and the fact that engineering has some kind of water processing - blender chamber) I thought the movie was great.

Boy you are getting old! You still use a rotatary phone?whole "shaky cam"
loved it... i like how they made everyone a little younger in this film. and i vote 1 as well!
I liked how they continued the longstanding tradition of giving gazillion dollar starships to recruits fresh out of the academy.
Sulu: How do I get this thing into first gear?
Spock: Are you sure the emergency brake isn't on?
Sulu: </blush>
