Top notch "reboot" of the classic franchise. All of the actors were well chosen, fun to watch and nitpick, each with their own tributes to the original characters without feeling too much like copying. The story was a bit of a stretch, but it had to be that way to achieve the desired effect for the reboot factor. Probably the only characters who weren't properly developed were the villains. It's a shame they couldn't work in a villain from the original series, like Wrath of Khan. And I was a little bit disappointed in the way they handled the Kobayashi Maru test, but it was probably appropriate considering Kirk's personality. Otherwise, it was thoroughly enjoyable and I plan to see it again before it leaves theaters.
