Great film, great acting, great pacing and a wonderful storyline, pretty much the best thing we have seen from Star Trek since they did First Contact, and DS9
That said destroying Vulcan took a lot of balls, and they pulled it off and was a delight to see Nemoy back for a final hurrah too.
Also happy with the alternative universe idea, thankfully 40 years of cannon has not been erased and now the actors are not bound by all that cannon to restrict their roles, which was what made Watchmen suffer.
