ST:WoK is my fave Star Trek film. Like you said, the story was key to its success... but I'm a real sucker for those battle scenes, so I would think it would be awesome with modern graphics to see what it would be like. Saying that, for the 1982 (was it 82?) when it came out the effects were still pretty awesome. I liked the bit where Reliant is just adrift in front of Enterprise, with sparks flying from the destroyed warp nacelle and the holes in its hull. Great stuff

I loved the new film, it brought a breath of fresh air into the franchise. Which in my opinion can only do it good. Some people may not like the new film so much, but its new found popularity amongst previously non-trekies might boost Star Treks popularity as a whole. I've seen all the Star Trek films before, but it wasn't until I saw the new one last week I thought out watching them again. Two days later I bought the box set of all of the original films... and watched every one in two days lol
. Just finished watching
The Undiscovered Country a few hours ago. I had to laugh at the end with Spock's reaction to their recall to spacedock for "decomissioning", I quote:
"If I were Human, I believe my response would be... GO TO HELL"
Everyone has their opinion on the new film, personally I loved it... can't wait for the sequals. Hopefully once the franchise becomes solid again we might start to see more repeats of TOS or TNG
