Well... if you consider that there actually haven't been too many space battles ever filmed... and if you buy two ships stumbling about in a heavy fog that somehow renders all of their sophisticated electronic sensors and targeting equipment useless... but still allows them to maneuver and fire... and if you buy Khan's single-minded hatred of Kirk turning the former world-class tactical genius and leader of men into a driveling idiot...
Sure, it was good!
Personally, I think the space battles on the rebooted Galactica were the most realistic I've seen, and more exciting than the Khan battles, the Star Wars space battles and the Babylon 5 battles. The Deep Space Nine Federation/Cardassian/Dominion dustups were pretty impressive, but only in that Trek style (ie, not realistic)...
Hold on. I guess there have been a lot of space battles filmed after all.
