I've always been more of a ST: TNG person myself. But I was amazed by this version. I was fully prepared to boo, hiss, and generally express my incredulity and disdain....within the first two minutes that urge was completely forgotten. Abrams really did a good job of reinventing the characters; and the actors did a REALLY fantastic job of portraying them. I'm actually looking forward to the next one in the franchise.
