YES!

And I will go on record and say that it was vastly superior to any sci-fi movie thus far created - up to and including all incarnations of Star Wars.

This movie is an Epic Win

While I haven't seen it yet, I have heard almost 99% positive reviews on it.
Wolverine wasn't even that popular. (I thought it was lame) I want to see
it tonight but most of the evening shows, at Cinetopia, are already sold out.

Watched it last night and absolutely loved it!  Best way to describe it:  Really FUN movie to watch.  Highly enjoyable throughout, and far exceeded my expectations.  Great crowd reactions and received a big ovation when the end credits came up.  (Stark contrast to the utter silence at the end of Wolverine last week.)

Very likely to go see this one again soon, maybe up at the Bridgeport IMAX.

I've heard that the film will be removed from theaters by the end of the week
due to severe damage caused from some sort of riot in San Francisco. Check

If anyone is interested...My name is on the list for the Cort and Fatboy showing at 1100PM tonight at the Roseway Theater Sandy/72nd.  I can't make it.  But if one of you is interested give them my name and 2 get in for free...Decide amongst yourself so not everyone shows up.

I would definitely do it, but transportation is a bit of an issue for me at the present. Oh, well... I do have a theater 2 blocks down the street from where I live.

I finally saw it at Cinetopia last night, and I thought it was awesome.

[spoiler]
I think it was a fantastic idea to include Leonard Nimoy as Spock in this film.
At best I thought it might have been a cameo, but he played a major part in the
film. It was a direct connection to the original series and The Next Generation
as well.

When I first heard about Simon Pegg playing Scotty I thought "Oh no. Not
the Guy from "Shawn of The Dead," but he did great. The only part of the film
I didn't like was Scotty's little munchkin counter part character that was with
him on the ice planet. But it was on the screen for a whole 10 seconds.

I loved that they threw in there that Spock had a rough time dealing with his emotions.

I found a few things that didn't make sence: Such as
Why did Spock have Kirk thrown off the ship? The Brig would
have worked fine, until they had time to court martial him.

Also I found a few continuity errors, but nothing that detracted from the overall feel of the film.

I thought it was great and intend to see it again.
