(yes, I'm still alive, by the way... just a bit overwhelmed with work and email the past few weeks. I haven't been able to keep up....)
I seriously loved the movie too, but I have a problem with the reboot of the Star Trek universe (I'm not sure if you saw my spoiler-y post about it from last week when I saw it or not). But, I seriously enjoyed it, and it was a really needed kick-in-the-pants for the whole thing. I think one thing that made me sad was how generally lousy the Next Gen movies were... it was time that there was a good movie again.
Another quibble I have now it's been a few days since I've seen it. While the Admiral Archer thingy was kinda funny and cute, IIRC, there'd be no way that Admiral Archer would still be alive. I thought ST:Enterprise took place about 80 years prior to ST:TOS.
Hm... although, now I think about it, McCoy was... 130(?) or so when he made his appearance on the 1701-D in the first episode, so I guess the assumption of longer life expectancies is there.
