This was a GREAT movie, it goes back and explains the main characters from their youth and beyond!
Scotty had rememberable funny lines and, at first I too was a bit skeptical of introducing a NEW Kirk but after watching the movie Chris Pine is the PERFECT arrogant yet charming young Kirk. The young and old Spocks were both entertaining, explaining why Spock rebels and how this Vulcan has feelings. "Live long and prosper"
