Wasn't talking about special effects. Of course the movie is chuck full of action and explosions. It's like watching James Bond in space.
What I'm referring to is lack of story and originality.
Btw, in the opening you refer to, I love the part when Kirk and McCoy jump off a 300 foot cliff and land in the ocean. I must've missed the part in Star Trek 1, where Kirk and McCoy became super heroes with unlimited human strength.
Star Trek was always about story first and foremost. Now it's just another dam action hero movie. They had much better scripts in the original series. But of course today's generation gets bored if there isn't an explosion every 7 minutes, so give the people what they want, right? Explosions, stunts, more explosions, explode some buildings, toss in Khan, more explosions, blue eyed Klingons all exploding, blow up the ship, explode more buildings, oh and some more explosions after that and presto! An explosive hit motion picture with a bunch of sugar infested diabetic teens proclaiming how great it is.
