Some problems in the dialog, whoever wrote the lines for old Spock was trying too much for fan service, and it was painful to see how poorly acted it was.
But overall very successful reboot IMO, look forward to more.

I saw it on the weekend as well and liked it a lot.
I was left wondering how many times Kirk could get his clock cleaned and not have a concussion, or how many times he could jump from an extreme height and land on steel girders without cracking at least one rib. After a while, it got ridiculous.
I also was wondering how monster carnivores could evolve and survive on icy, apparently barren planets where the only prey appears to be an occasional bumbling human.
I also wondered why it is, in the Star Trek universe, across many series and movies, that cave floors are mysteriously flat, like your kitchen floor.
Or how one would know the coordinates of a starship travelling hundreds of times the speed of light so one could transport to said starship . . . . . particularly when said starship dumped you off on a barren planet and didn't exactly tell you how fast they were going to where they were going. Lucky guess?
Everyone knows Spock's first love was the farm girl on the irradiated planet . . . . . but I would have dumped her for Uhura too.
Spock's mother is blond!!! You couldn't find a blond?!!!
Swallowing a certain planet really does need an "alternative time line" plot device because it renders the original series, all subsequent series and other movies as lost in space. It would not surprise me to see that certain planet restored to life in this time line by some other plot device in a future movie.
Overall though, this Trek movie makes up for all the other virtually unwatchable, ponderous movies this dying franchise had been putting out in the last decade or more.
Great flick but, more importantly, probably gives subsequent movies a lot of hope.
