My wife and I just got home from seeing it . . . WOWWWWWWWWW!
It was incredibly good, exciting, great special effects, full of the puckish humor of the old television series of 40 years ago. There is no nudity, very little cussing (as I recall), and a non-stop screen full of action. Like any movie made in this decade, the blacks and whites have a bit more gray in them. But, for Star Trek addicts, it was a good fix.
Ted Baehr summarizes:
Both Hugh Hewitt and Emmett of the Unblinking Eye loved the movie.

But there was the obligatory bedroom scene with that dyed green girl. Other than that I really liked the movie.

Depends on your definition of nudity...

No nudity = No exposed female tops, bottoms, or fronts, male bottoms or fronts.
Ted Baehr says: "brief upper male nudity" in his review of Star Trek. Living in CA where men do not wear shirts at the beach, I guess I'm not sensitive to this form of display of skin.
Bill, I forgot about the green girl. But, wasn't she in something like a bikini??? And, the roommate at the door kept anything from "happening."
Hey, I'm not defending the movie as perfect, just an exciting adventure with less objectionable stuff (language and sexuality) than most movies and a LOT of network television. Caveat emptor.

We're watching movies now? Oh my, next we'll be dancing wearing shorts!!! 
I grew up on the old Star Trek (because my dad was a Trekkie Junkie who made me watch all the reruns) and loved it. Especially the tribbles. Anything that corny deserves respect.
Live long and prosper!!!

All I remember of star trek is people walking through corridoors and doors that go "ssshwwush". Very exciting
You had to be there.

Hey, Star Trek is every male's dream. You get to lounge around all day in your pajamas, sitting in a cool recliner, watching a giant flat screen TV, and having everyone around you do what you tell them to do. You can't beat that.

"A lot of the fans have been saying that this movie sullies the vision of someone called Gene Roddenberry."
"Gene Roddenberry was the hack who created the Star Trek television show way back in the 1940's or something..."

I'll borrow it from the public library when it becomes available this summer. That way I can pause it for potty breaks or needed walkabouts.

Priceless!Watched the movie yesterday, it was a very good Star Trek movie but also not very trekky at the same time. Awesome effects, good plot, some irony, and good casting - though no one beats Jean-Luc... er, Patrick Stewart.

The new movie absolutely rocks!!!
And I'm speaking as a trekkie of many years. One who has actually gone to trek cons.

I will refrain from reading this thread in the interests of avoiding potential spoilers before I get around to seeing it.
However, I'm glad to hear it's a hit. I hope it doesn't inspire a half-decent barely-canon series like Enterprise though.
Ha! Here's a spoiler!

Tellville,
I might be annoyed at how often you used the word "awesome." However, having seen the movie this afternoon, I have come to the conclusion you've used the word quite modestly. Everyone who went with me (including the sister-in-law!) agreed that its awesomeness was a sight to behold.
Thankfully, the nudity is all together in one short scene, so when the DVD comes out it should be easy to skip.

Last night a chaplain buddy decided to go see a movie. We couldn't make up our mind between Star Trek and Wolverine, so we flipped a coin... Wolverine won. It was "ok," (way too much swearing for a superhero movie, in my opinion, and I didn't need to see Hugh Jackman's 0% body fat naked body running around) but I'm wishing that we had gone to Star Trek.
