Quoted from StevenP:Valid points, but what I DON'T like about the reboot is that the movies are generic over-the-top space action spectacles that dump the Star Trek "philosophy" in favor of special effects and simplistic-but-thrown-in-your-face character motivations. (But what do you expect from JJ Abrams?) Does the franchise a disservice IMO.
My 2 cents as a longtime Trek fan (since the original series aired...)
Agreed, the new movies are bigger, dumber, action blockbusters. I look at them like 'fast food entertainment'. The writing is pretty heavy handed and the acting in some parts is just hilariously bad. They're ok to watch to pass the time but ultimately a bit forgettable.
