Liked the movie, though the plot was totally secondary. The point was to introduce you to the new characters, and set things up so they can do what they want.
My 12 yr old daughter LOVED it. We have since rented most of the old movies (can't find a few of the original movies, and 1 of the next gen movies) and watched them together. She watches the old series and new ones. Finally, I got my science fiction geek. That and vampires.
