Was It Possible To Please Even More Trek Fans?

Yes, if they'd included more lens flares.
No, I think not.
All things considered and if the polls and review sites are taken into account, I believe they have already pleased more Trek fans than anyone could have ever thought possible.
Isn't it about 80-90 % that likes this movie ?

Most people seemed to freak about vulcan being blown up. Although I think that was needed.
There is no canyon in IOWA!
No.
They got - by every poll and quantifiable means of estimating this that you can find (as opposed to counting fifteen posts by two people as "fifteen objections") between 85 and 95 percent of the hardcore fans on board with this.
That's really good, considering that for the movie to succeed they needed to concentrate on getting new viewers to come to see it.

It's a type of canyon, a canyon created from surface mining where dilithium was discovered and mined with mining phasers long ago.

Another Xindi type weapon fired at Earth and created a new canyon.
Yes, very possible.
Overall, I liked the movie but there is certainly some things about it that bug the hell out of me.
No. Absolutely not. Segments of fandom are never, ever going to be satisfied, period. It's a mistake to even try.
The only way I could've been more pleased would've been with a few more references rather than just minor ones. Like in the Spock future ship when he asks its manufacturing origin, it should've mentioned Geordi, but the scene still goes exactly the same without him reacting to the name at all.
This is about as close to unified as Trekdom gets. Sure, if they had cleaned up a few minor errors and commisions we might have ticked it up another 2-4% in the poll, but most of the detractors seem to be using canon as justification for some deeper gut-level reaction. Bottom line, it's change, and there is always going a certain percentage of the populace that rejects that change.

No. Quite frankly I didn't think it would be possible to get THIS many Trek fans in agreement about enjoying the movie.

Yes, very possible.
Due respect to Vektor, but that design wouldn't hold a candle to the Church version on the big screen.

Agreed, and that's no offense to Vektor, who is incredibly talented, sweet Jesus if I could do half as well as he could, I mean, his work is fantastic. I just really, really like the Ryan Church design on the big screen.

Just think how much better the movie would've been and loved by the TRUE Star Trek fans if, instead of the "three years later" caption, they would've actually given us three straight years of Kirk walking around with a stack of books while having to deal with Finnegan and Mitchell in ways that have absolutely nothing to do with the plot!!!!
