Think about movies like "District 9" or "Dark Knight", they probably feature more action (or horror in the case of D9) scenes than ST09 and yet they are about something.

I haven't seen District 9 yet, and while Dark Knight is excellent it's a slightly different ball game to Star Trek.
There is
no Star Trek film that approached TDK, past or present. It's beyond Star Trek's batting average.
For me, the spirit comes a bit more from the characters because other aspects of Roddenberry Trek I've never found plausible.
The characters here were mostly bang on and that's the real anchor for everything else.
