Well, I saw it 3 weeks ago, and I liked it very much. The complete crew was very well cast, I liked the story. It had the necessary drama, action and humor. I don't believe a few disappointed Trekkies will stop it from becoming a hit.

Well the article is just one of "The Onion"'s parodies. Complaining because the acting wasn't wooden 

I did have a few problems with it but was mostly impressed.

Clearly a parody.
I really enjoyed the part where the Captain Kirk double fought something that amazingly looked like a cheap copy of Godzilla.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Going Tuesday, can't wait! 

I have a few reservations about it but I'm sure I'll be blown away when I watch it.  And hey, if they make enough cash from it maybe we'll be seeing alot more new Trek (which is always a good thing), maybe even a series...

Only highlight if you want a spoiler -

Considering they've effectively destroyed everything that's happened so far except Enterprise, at the very least we'll need a sequel

I really enjoyed the film and I am not a Trekkie!!!

Spoiler:  (Select to view)
Basically using a time paradox, JJ created an entirely new/different timeline in the Star Trek universe.  By doing this the original Star Trek canon comprised of the original Star Trek series, plus original cast Star Trek movies, plus The Next Generation series and movies, Deep Space 9, Star Trek Voyager and the newest Star Trek: Enterprise, is not changed or upset in anyway!!!  He now has a fresh canvas to create new Star Trek films using the original heroes, James T. Kirk, Spock, Chekov, Uhuru, Sulu, DR.McCoy, and Montgomery Scott!!!

I went yesterday morning and really enjoyed the movie, thought it was done really well, but then again I'm not a Trekkie, so what do I know. 
We're on a mission from God.

Thanx Dan that was hilarious. Those that watched that review did you check out the scrolls at the bottom? If not rewatch and just read those it will crack you up. Now for the movie I enjoyed it.

Saw the movie tonight with my brother, first movie I've seen in quite awhile that I rated 10 out of 10.  I'm looking forward to the sequel!

From Boxofficemojo:
Seeking out new life for the series, Star Trek commanded a stellar estimated $72.5 million on approximately 7,400 screens at 3,849 sites over the weekend (plus an estimated $4 million from Thursday night previews).
