Enjoyed this reboot a ton on IMAX.

I wouldn't say I loved absolutely everything about it (at least one too many fistfights, too rapid advancement for the cadet Kirk to captain etc) but I enjoyed it tremendously. I have a fondness for Trek, and this was a fun popcorn movie. Loved all the great references thrown in the margins - the tribble, Archer's beagle, a green girl from Orion - and despite its shiny new hardware, this ST covers familiar tropes from the original series. And the alternate timeline is a a brilliant and elegant solution for freshening ST without being straight jacketed into stale storytelling.

The cast was just purely wonderful. The new actors are all perfect for the roles, there wasn't one I didn't love, although Quinto's Spock and Pine's Kirk really take center stage. I was tickled to death to see one of my all time favorite character actors, Bruce Greenwood, as Christppher Pike - great move! Nimoy has one of the greatest faces in movies, a beautiful, lived in face of a real and genuine person - he lifts every scene he's in. Several of the FX were just gorgeous too, the $$s were up on the screen, wonderful to see.

And we got Spock sex - yeah!! JJ understands!

I was actually surprised at how good this movie is since I haven't been a big fan of Abram's films so far (in marked contrast to his TV work) but he did a good job on this one.
