YES! My husband took me Saturday for our anniversary. He's not a Star Trek fan, but he said, "It's a good movie". And it is. The villain isn't visually portrayed as evil--you have to note his words and behavior. And this is appropriate, considering who he's based on. His sidekick, though--you know immediately that he's a bad 'un. Excellent special effects--won't say where 'cause that would give something away! I would have liked to have seen more involvement from ALL the main regulars, but I guess TV is better for that.
