I don't like lowest-common denominator, minimum-brain, fear-to-piss-off-people, mass-market Trek.
I am of course well aware that I am in the minority which is per definition relatively small in the case of such movies.

If anything, I would like to see ST as the riskier project and that being a "GOOD" thing. Something brainier, sublime, and profound. Why not bring in hard-core Sci-Fi writers and take Trek into where it's true potential of telling a story is, with characters and themes that are deeper than the surface FX.
To take the viewer beyond judging a Trek Movie by the shape of the ship and plot holes. Lord knows I have complained and made mention of them myself. There can be better. Do the FX Have to drive the cost of a movie over 200million $$$? Has anyone thought of paying that much to develop the story-line instead?.......
Well...not THAT much,
but my point is to move the emphasis back to story and away from flashy FX to keep the viewer's attention.
