I loved it while at the same time having to put aside the ridiculousness of the plot.
SPOLIER:
My friends and I were laughing about what the Romulans did for 25 years while waiting for Spock to arrive. Play tiddlywinks? Lots of Hold 'Em tournaments? Hang out on a beach planet? Pretty silly. Wouldnt some of the crew after a couple years or so be like "You know what dude, I know what Spock did is pretty fucked up in your eyes, but ummm cmon...do we all have to sit on our asses while you hold a grudge for 25 years?"
Kirk gets marooned on a planet. By pure happenstance, a 2 minute run away from a cave that Spock is chilling out in. An entire fucking planet...2 minutes from Spock...OK.
Also, Scotty finds himself Chief of the Enterprise BECAUSE of the new reality that was created. I guess you could argue we winds up there anyways at some point if that reality never happened...but meh.
