Hell even if the next two do not live up to the original(some say the last two matrix movies I like the series but I am including it since I know some did not), or if the original does so well in an underground sense that you feel you can do a sequel or two(Bourne Identity don't even remember that movie opening but I have seen all 3 whole series is the bomb). Star Trek is an ensemble movie if there ever was one, even more then say X-men or even fantastic four we fell in love with the interaction of the original star trek cast(granted no way the new kirk can get the "Beam me up scotty" right or the new Mr scott can get "Captain I'm giving her all she's got" and there better be at least 1 "dammit jim" I don't give a damn what he's damning but he better say it once) so it looks like they have a good nucleas if the do decide to maea few sequals. The only problem with the (I see)new territory is well I kinda like the Wrath of Khan, and if they go into new territory probably won't get to see that on the silver screen oh well i'll just go buy the collection.

If it flops (which is doubtful, but always a possibility) the studio can always pull the plug. They probably have their 3-movie arc already mapped out- so this is just another franchise with built-in sequels (Star Wars, Harry Potter are others to name a few).
