No, still like it. Will probably still like it when I see it tomorrow for the fifth time... :D
I'm having a hard time convincing my wife to see it with me again (her fourth, my fifth). I may have to go alone!

I have seen it twice alone, once with a group of friends, once with my boyfriend, and he will have to come with me tomorrow :D
We'll see it in the original English tomorrow.
 
Same here. I still like it. Went and saw it again for a second time during lunch.

Wow, I want to work at a place that allows such a long lunch break! ;)

It has grown on me. I liked it first time, but still wasn't 100%. Each subsequent viewing has taught me to love it a little more, despite its flaws.
 
I saw it the second time and noticed I didn't weep with joy that Trek was really REALLY ass kicking cool (note: not "kewl" allthough it was actually kinda Kewl too...) nor laugh like a giddy school girl at Titanic.

The third time I watched I barely registered any kind of emotional reaction except a slight smile but I did notice I didn't like the "I'm givin it all she's got, Captain" line from Scotty the third time I heard it. It was too "in the know" campiness for me.

The fourth time I noticed that the old Planetary sound effect from TOS was slightly off.

The fifth time I realised that Kirk got out of being punished up to and including being thrown out of Starfleet Acadamy by distracting his superiors with saving the planet. Pfft! Where's Starfleet discipline, eh?

Thus, this movie is total crap and I refuse to spend another dime on admission after my dozenth viewing! And I refuse to buy more than the standard watching copy, the in case the first one goes bad copy, the one to share with others copy, and the one to share with others that may not return it copy and the maybe sell it on E-bay once the cast autographs it copy of the DVD when it comes out nor the special director's cut nor the one with updated special effects or the 50 years of Trek retrospect.

How was the German dub? It takes, to my perception, so long to say things in German sometimes that I'd imagine the VO guy's'd have to talk really fast to get everything in while the character's mouth is still moving.
 
My feelings are mixed, as they were after my first viewing. But my opinion seems to be settling into "it was fun, amazing, loud, shiny, enjoyable, energetic, funny, tragic and charming, without somehow being all that good." Ah well. Them's the breaks.
Ah dammit, I forgot to put that option in the poll! :D

So far as I can tell, it's actually pretty good.
A few things are, of course, different:

'Cupcake' goes by 'Schnubbelchen' in German
McCoy doesn't have just his Bones left but his divorce was a bitter Pill to swallow (his German nickname is 'Pille') - this actually lead to the very annoying moment in the final scene when Kirk says Bones' nickname; his lips start to move way before he actually says 'Pille'
McCoy's call for Chapel is much more audible.
Chekov's accent is much stronger in German than in English.

But apart from that I can't think of any glaring errors.
 
For me, a good/great movie stays with me awhile. It stays in my thoughts.

I have to admit that before I got back to the car after seeing the movie, it was already gone.
