It kind of changes the story from the TV show, and it's more fast action. Kirk doesn't meet Captain Pike on the show and Spock & Uhura don't have a relationship either. On the show, Spock is the only one that was on Pike's crew, not the others. Also Spock's mother doesn't die on the show and Vulcan doesn't blow up. I found it interesting that they kind of kept the "pyjama" uniforms & miniskirts though, although modified. The movie is cool for what it is, but the show has more to it. They couldn't have made it like the show I guess. It would have been too talky & slow for today's audience.
