The official AQSG talkback for those that have seen the movie. I added a Spoilers notation at the top to keep away those that don't want to know anything until they see it.

I just saw it last night and I was overwhelmed by it. The story was indeed great and Star Trek is indeed back. The liberties that JJ took were very gutsy, but he was nice enough in the movie to tell you what was happening and that this is indeed a new universe. Tying the original canon into the movie was great, along with many of the little homages to traditional Trek elements, including the Koybiasho Maru and the number 47. Rehashing a ton of quotes from the original 6 movies and TOS helped plug it all right back in.

I hope Paramount decides to do more and that JJ will stick on for as long as possible.

While I hope Trek gets the shot in the arm it deserves I was actually in the hater camp on this one.  I'll spare you the rant, but I thought it not only completely missed anything Trek, but also was a bad movie as a movie.  It moved fast enough I was suitably distracted from its badness the whole way through, but I had a genuine, negative visceral reaction afterwards.  I begrudge no one their positive opinions, I'm glad so many enjoyed it.  I did think that Karl Urban was a great McCoy, but everyone was miswritten overall.  I was looking forward to Simon Pegg being Scotty, and I ended up despising the portrayal the most of any character.  Most disappointed in the long run.

You truly can't go home again.

That said, I'm in favor of the AQSG hosting a JJ Trek sim, if anyone gets one going.  Might be a popular offering.  Quite a lot of folks did like it.
