I have ever seen.
That being said, this is more of an Action movie - whereas the original was more of a cerebral movie. (Which, BTW, is what scuttled the original pilot of TOS).
As much as I enjoyed this remake, One of the things I loved about the first movie was that Khan was not "physical", but a chess player. And Kirk and Spock defeated him by playing chess ("His strategy has been one-dimensional." "Helm: Z minus..."
The original also explored 2 famous novels and referred to them both - Tale of Two Cities "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few (or the one) and introduced the entire idea of the Kobyashi Maru "no-win" scenario. It also referred to Moby Dick, and properly attributed it to Khan - which ended up being his fatal flaw that allowed Kirk (and his well-trained crew: which the movie emphasizes team-work vs individual obsession) to defeat him.
But the greatest thing about the movie was that in the beginning, Kirk was given a gift of eye-glasses and described himself as "feeling old". At the end of the movie, those same glasses were broken - yet he described himself as "feeling young".
Regardless - I loved the new movie! I recommend seeing it in IMAX if possible - otherwise, definitley see it in 3D. Best I've seen since Avatar!
