I expected it to be enjoyable, but to spend most of my energy weighing whether or not this or that character measured up to the original.
Instead I got totally caught up in the story and characters. Captain Kirk... I couldn't tell how much of his cockiness was bravado, how much genuine confidence, and how much was just knowing how to live, like there was no tomorrow and he had nothing to lose.
It was tremendous fun. I think if there wasn't already a franchise, it would start one. There are many, many more Star Trek movies in our future.
