Finally got round to seeing this after missing it on the big screen. Overall I think they made a pretty good job of it. I was very impressed at new portrayal of the old characters and how well they captured the feel of the original series (for those old enough to remember ). Even remembering Captain Pike as the first captain. (again, for those old enough to remember )
The story held up well too, even the good lady who knows little about Star Trek enjoyed it.
Hopefully they will take this further and do another. From an old Trekie I'd give it 9 out of 10. (But that's just my take on it)
I am sure others will disagree though.
( When I was younger, I thought "Boldlygo" was a planet they were trying to find!!!!!)
