I'm always amazed when a self-professed Star Trek fan says he/she liked the last movie. It's so far removed from what I think made the original and Next Generation Trek good (i.e., characters with depth, thought-provoking storylines that explored the human condition, etc.) that I can't fathom how any fan could have enjoyed this version, which was nothing but action-driven drivel with two dimensional characters.
I feel as though I should watch it again in order to give it a fair shake, but I can't help but feel I'll just come to the same conclusion.
