*spoilers*
Loved the film and i think Abrams is pure class to be able to turn a somewhat convoluted and potentially messy plot into a great piece of cinema.
It reminds me of whenever a new Trek film is in production and the fans come up with ideas for the new film, many of the ideas are usually perceived as either crappy, strange, amateurish or not fit for cinema i.e fanwank.
Imagine for a second that three years ago a fan on a star trek forum pitched this idea for a film:
"Omg i have a great idea for a new star trek film. Romulus gets destroyed by a supernova, Spock tries to save the planet by using his spaceship to create a black hole to suck in the supernova but he's too late!!!! This Romulan captain is really angry and he goes back in time to destroy Vulcan by creating a black hole inside the planet. Vulcan gets destroyed and the original crew who are all in the academy end up having to take control of the Enterprise to prevent the bad guy from destroying every planet in the Federation with black holes.!!!!!11 Oh and Kirk and Spock hate each other, and Spock is dating Uhura!"
I think most people would laugh at the poor sod. For Abrams to turn this very raw and unlikely concept into a great film takes some degree of skill. Hopefully were going to get a sequel
