The cast was great and the aesthetic was awesome, the stories were just such shit…
JJ Abrams never gets it done, everything he makes is almost good. So who replaced him? Justin Lin.. Two Trek Two Furious was an abomination.

They were stupid movies. They strained for a convoluted excuse to rehash familiar characters instead of moving the franchise and the world forward. JJ Abrams publicly said that he wasn't even a fan of the show, and said that Star Trek was "too philosophical." Good riddance.

That is incredible.. Star Trek IS all about the philosophical..
Good riddance is right.

The only one that felt like Trek was the one written by an actual Trek fan and generally talented storyteller, Simon Pegg.
And agree with other comments that the cast was really good. Just had horrible stories and mediocre (at best) direction.
You can tell that knowing the source material on franchise movies matters: I couldn't stand JJ's Trek but I really liked Ep7. (Ep 9 was decent, but things were so off the rails after ep 8 there wasn't much to recover)

Unfortunately Pegg was brought in to write it once they were deep into filming so he really had no chance.
I have never understood the notion that it was the only one that felt like a Star Trek movie, none of it made any sense.
Why was Kirk navel gazing about being captain?
Why did the bad guys wait on the planet when they had a working starship..
Destroying The Enterprise is Terry?

To me it felt more like Trek because it was at least occasionally philosophical and moralistic. Not just a stop-the-terrorist action movie.
It was fast from a perfect film though, don't get me wrong. Plot holes and idiot plots. I'd still choose to watch a lot of other stuff before it. But it's middle of the pack for Trek overall, IMO. Still beats ST: 3, Insurrection, Nemesis, etc

If you're a Trekkie and not already watching Jessie Genders videos, I'd highly recommend them. They're full of great analysis from an actual fan. I don't agree with every point and there are some points never brought up, but I enjoyed that at least I was getting good Trek media analysis even if I wasn't getting good Trek media.
