Well, even if it is very thin on story, I really enjoyed the action, the bright colours, the nice designs. It was just everything I expected from it.
Though from a Star Trek you do expect a better story, this is what the franchise needed to get a reboot. (And I think Star Trek deserved one)
Would any of us have been happy with another Nemesis? I certainly wouldn't have.

I only watched Star Trek for Sylar/Spock, and I prefer his performance in Heroes >.<

People bagged the Wolverine movie, but here I felt that actually had more of a story - and less crazy science, and we're talking chicks who turn into diamonds and giant frickin' laser beams outta ones eyes - than this one. Not to rile up all the comic lovers about how it changed the origins story or anything... XD Somehow that leap of 'science' made more sense than 'wee RED MATTER cos RED MATTER RLY IS SCIENCE NORLY'

I must've missed all the red matter episodes in Star Trek.

Edit: There were no red matter episodes, turns out. Eesh. All the science things that bugged me and more over here - http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/05/08/ba-review-star-trek/

Pixelation needs one of these, I'd wear it everyday, hurm, maybe I'll make it when I decide not to be lazy.

Plus the fact that you can actually SEE several black holes. But I guess showing a black screen isn't very romantic.
But a supernova that just suddenly happens. I mean, doesn't it take several years for a star to actually become a supernova? That's just a plothole.
If those Romulans are so dumb they didn't see it coming, I guess they deserved to be wiped out xD.
It kind of reminds me of that scene in an Austin Powers movie. Where a guy waits like 5 minutes to be run over by a steamroller.

No one was bothered by the seemingly infinite transporter range? Kinda makes the enterprise obsolete.

 I was too busy being bothered by how the Romulans (my favourite alien race on Trek) neither looked nor acted like Romulans.

Saw Star Trek today, and it is the first time I've ever been interested in watching anything star trek related.

I was expecting all the faults already mentioned, they didn't really bug me though, I enjoyed the story and how much of the Star Trek universe they managed to establish without treating newbies like me like retards.
Overall, I am very glad I saw it and not wolverine.

Not sure what you mean, my friends wanted to see wolverine, I managed to convince them into Star Trek.
I didn't really enjoy any of the xmen movies and I've been hearing wolverine is even worse.
