I thought it was a wasted opportunity.
It wasn't a story that needed retelling. They had a blank canvas to set a new direction after the first movie, and they blew it.
What's the third movie going to do, have the crew find a ship where someone is inexplicably frozen in a shower?

nuSpock is severely miscast.
Abrams just takes bits and pieces from TOS and slaps together something with some cgi effects.
no character developement.
just flash wiz and and tight boom shots.
