Saw the new Star Trek last week-end and enjoyed it more as an action-adventure not a pure sci-fi film. At the end of the day it was all about setting the scene for a new movie franchise. i.e. how Kirk's & Spock's childhooRAB shaped them, how their destinies entwined and how the core Enterprise crewe of Scotty. McCoy, Uhuru, Sulu & Chekov came together.
The threat and defeat of the renegade Romulan Nero seemed almost a side issue as you just knew he would get his come-uppence in the end. Noted also that there was some passing resemblance of the main characters to the original TV series cast and other subtle references to TOS episodes.
Has been mentioned already in the thread but I totally failed to recognise Spock's mother was Winona Ryder.
... now can't wait for the next instalment which will of course include some conflict with the Klingons.
