Overall, I liked it, and have seen it twice now. Opening night at the Alamo Ritz proved to be an entertaining crowd. They even brought in an improv group for the preshow.

The only big issue for me (beyond the unnecessary lens flare) was their attempt at integrating the story. Trek is already a mess with alternate universes, multiple timelines, and so on. Kinda like their attempt to "hand off" the movies from the TOS crew to the TNG crew by looping in Kirk. I would have been fine with just a complete reboot with no ties to the previous shows/movies.


Oh, and Romulan Ale > Klingon Blood Wine. (From the Star Trek themed menu).
