Having been a Star Trek fan since the original series aired (yes, I'm ancient), I'm perturbed by the fact that they have created an alternate time line, so that they will be able to continue the franchise independent of the original; this then is not so much a "prequel" to the original or a lead-up to the other films, as much as a fresh start with the characters and their interaction. Secondly, if we did not have the foreknowledge of the characters and their relationship in the "future" and our penchant for romantisizing Star Trek as an entity, would the film stand alone as a worthy effort? The plot line is not nearly meaty enough, and furthermore, what's with the Spock/Uhura thing.......more evidence that their future is different than the develpoments of the original series.
