My son wants to see it. I had no clue he had any interest in Star Trek, but I guess he saw the first 'new' one and has read good reviews on this one. I haven't gotten into Trek at all, never understook the hype. I think Shatner killed it for me.
Spock was always my favourite. And I love a good time travel/alternate time line story. :)
DD13 wanted to see it because of Benedict Cumberbatch. (Sherlock Season 3 is supposed to be out in November, btw). But she got caught up in the whole story and really enjoyed it :)

Saw it last night and really enjoyed it. I feel like the casting was spot on. They managed to hit that sweet spot of both capturing the essence of the characters as played by the first cast while also the new actors making the roll their own. Zachary Quinto in particular.
