I loved the visuals,I loved the casting(except Chekov) but to me it wasn't Trek. they destroyed 45 years of cannon and what did we get besides eye candy? Romulans who looked like they were members of the mongol hoard? too much comic relief? A new enterprise that looked like a 5 year old designed it while the Doozers from fragle rock made the bridge and the engine room was clearly straight out of Mario World. ;) they destroyed decades of continuity simply because they lacked the imagination to redo the movies withing a few set parameters. now we have a changed timeline that has Kirk the captain years early of a ship way out of scale,no Vulcan and now nothing from any of the series,book or movie has ever happened. No unless in the 3rd movie the timeline is restored I refuse to watch that trash. I can get great special effects and witty banter in many other movies I don't need an abortion trek to get my fix.
