Just got back from seeing Star Trek, and if you're a Lost fan, you'll find it very familiar feeling. Also, if you've seen Lord of the Rings and Star Wars there are some oblique references. There's of course a lot of Star Wars pop culture-type references (like red shirts) which, if you are aware of them, make the movie that much funnier.
That's right... the movie was frickin' hilarious.
Anyway, the actual storyline was convoluted and flimsy as all get out, but the characters' stories are well done. Kinda like Lost, actually.
