I just saw it, and enjoyed it a lot. I'd guessed it was about [spoiler]Khan[/spoiler] from rumors I'd heard, but thought it was more a homage than a "desecration" (as one Trek friend of my described it).
I was never a trekkie, but I enjoyed the original series a lot more than TNG, which I thought was dry and stuffy. TOS had much better chemistry between the actors, more emotional (if hammy) performances, and better social commentary (not to mention barrier breakers like a multinational crew and interracial (and interspecies!) kisses).
To me the new movies evoke TOS in a way TNG never did, even if they don't have the same groundbreaking themes (so far).
