As long as we can avoid suffering ourselves with whether not Spock is gay or no, I say a very guarded Yes.
If this is to be a solid foundational storyline for the characters we have come to honor and respect, then Im all for it.
If this is to be a reboot of Star Trek then by God lets make that perfectly clear this time around. I can work with multi-verses :thumbsup:

I'm 29, and I'm guardedly optimistic. I haven't been a fan of most of Abrams' work, and even if I were fully confident in him, TOS is so laden with expectation and memory that going back to it has a lot of potential pitfalls.
Still, I look forward to it, since I'm having a lot more fun entertaining the idea that the new movie might be good than I would if I'd decided that it was going to be crap.

A huge colossal YES!!!! From a 33yr old male who has felt there was need for a change in Trek this long time....and seriously thinks this could be it!!
You can: do separate polls for "Yes," "Maybe" and "No" and then ask people their ages & genders. Compare the distribution of responses.
No, because I never cared much about TOS (series and movies). I would look forward to it, if it would have nothing to do with TOS but introduce completly new characters in a future after the series.
Also in general I don't care much about remakes and reboots in movies and series. I have nothing against spin-offs though.

First option--for a variety of (sometimes contradictory) reasons.
One--I've liked a fair bit of Abrams work (though not all).
Two--I'm curious about how he will deal with the iconic characters.
Three--the sheer entertainment that will result from watching fanatical literalists' heads explode when the "pretty coloured buttons" on the engineering console are not all EXACTLY the same colours as they were in Episode 82...
Four--because I like sci-fi movies
Five--because I don't mind if this means Trek will be like Bond (a modicum of continuity but not a slavish devotion to visual accuracy--Moore's Bond visits Teresa Bond's grave at the start of For Your Eyes Only and it doesn't bother me one bit that he doesn't look like Lazenby)
Six--it's new Star Trek.

Am I looking forward to the movie?
Hell YES! This is the biggest thing to hit Trekdom since ... well, since I became a trekkie 12 years ago. Continuity and canon can get a sparkle up them for all I care. As we are talking about a fictional piece of work I cannot be taken custody by small, irrelevant pieces of minutiae. Give me a fantastic story featuring iconic characters and gut-bustingly fantastic FX.
This is entertainment... afterall.

Oh I VERY much am looking forward to this. Spock if my favorite character of all time and I'm thrilled to pieces that I'll get to see Leonard Nimoy reprise the role again on the big screen. I'm also excited with Quinto being cast as a younger Spock as I love him in Heroes! 25 years and female here.

^ You're telling me. At 28, I thought I was above the median.
When I was an admin and was filling in over at the DS9 Forum for a month, the posters there made me feel old.

"Guarded yes" here. I won't accept just anything simply because it has the name Star Trek on it. Nor will I automatically reject something, particularly on the basis of limited information. I'm very interested to see what Abrams does with Trek, but given how Lost has meandered the past couple of seasons I'm not able to be wildly enthusiastic - particularly on the basis of limited information.
So "guarded yes" it is.
