Let's just say I went to my first Star Trek convention in the late 70's. I have been greatly disappointed with some of the Star Trek movies the past. However, this so-called re-boot is amazing. One could not ask for a better one. It does make many references to the original TV series and some of the movies. But non-trekkers will not notice t hem, most importantly these reference do not slow the movie down. This is warp driven Star Trek for a new generation of fans. It embodies the spirit of the original, but it much more fast paced. The new cast has great chemistry, and leave you wanting more. If only they had those effects in the 1960's.
