Things I loved about that movie - Uhura and Spock fighting and Kirk's reaction - Uhura speaking Klingon - Chekov's reaction to the red shirt - Sulu taking command - Scotty getting drunk - when Khan said Spock couldn't break bone and you knew full well he'd be breaking some of Khan's by the end - the reversal of the Wrath of Khan moment of sacrifice and how that made sense (I could go on at length but my theory is that Kirk and Spock especially but really all of them are going through the same character arcs as the originals, only doing it much faster, as triggered by the differences caused by the point of time-line divergence) - Spock Prime's cameo - and absolutely anything with Bones in it! Karl Urban is just brilliant and so outstandingly good in that part! I've read that his performance made Leonard Nimoy cry when they were filming the first of the reboot movies. Of course, Karl Urban is a complete geek. He gets it.
