Well as cinema, I thought it was a good film, worth the two hours I spent watching it.  Good script, acting, and pacing.  I am not a huge Trekkie so I didn't bring any baggage with me, cause from what I understand (slight spoiler) the actions of a certain character in this film change the previous films.  So that may affect how you look at the plot.

Technically I believe you will enjoy the visuals and the sounds from this film.  Has a good range of sound, but I did feel that Abrams overdid the flare effect in the movie.
