Yeah, I saw it saturday. I thought the actors really nailed all the characters -- Bones in particular was spot on. The storyline, on the other hand, I thought was terrible. Nero was weak and undeveloped. Too many holes in the story.
For example, in the beginning, the red matter singularity destroys a planet, yet it leaves Nero and Spock's ship intact, sending them back in time. Then at the end, it destroys their ship.
Why do they need to drill to the core of a planet before launching the red matter? Why not just detonate it at the planets surface, like they did with the supernova or Nero's ship? If the end result is a black hole, all they need to do is detonate it anywhere near the target, right?
And why in the world would the federation launch their new flagship Enterprise with a crew full of academy cadets who haven't even graduated yet? How could they even hope to run the ship with no experience? And why in the world would they promote Kirk to captain, again, without even finishing his academy training. He's got what, 3 years under his belt?
So yeah, terrible story, but the movie was entertaining for sure.
