I saw the new/old Star Trek tonight, and it's every bit as great as you've heard, greater even. We have interesting characters, consistent with the ones we know and love, but fresh, a new plot, again, consistent with the world we knew (humans, Vulcans, Romulans, etc) but updated, and we have great special effects which were not totally opposed to the laws of physics as we know them. Overall a great effort.
The series has definitely lived long and prospered.
