Very sad that they turned Star Trek into Star Wars.

Oh god no. JJ! Why JJ why!?
I don't even know where to begin. As many have already stated this is NOT Star Trek. It's franchise rape. They call these characters Kirk and Spock etc. But they are not. These writers take the lazy way out and explain this rape as an 'alternate reality.' How sad that 'scific' is being used to explain why Kirk is an a-hole and why Spock is emotional.
Why even call it Star Trek? Just call it "Future Space Adventure".
Dear god. Star Trek TOS was about virtue, being good, doing the right thing, being level headed, etc. This so called 'star trek' is about throwing tantrums to get what you want, using people, having mood swings, etc. TOTAL OPPOSITE.
The sad fact of the matter is that Star Trek fans LOVE this fandom. And because of this love they will see just about anything ST related. That was the problem. JJ and co took advantage of this. They thought "Well, the trekkies will see what ever crap we shove under their faces. Haha. Let's focus on getting in the non-ST fans to make lots of $$$."
So what SciFic franchise do most ppl like? Star WARS. So they made it like that. Any REAL, and yes there are real TOS fans, ST fan will not consider this real Trek.
It's not exactly a bad movie, when compared to movies these days. But that's not saying much.... The problem is that it pretends to be something it's not.
In TOS there was like 5 sec of action then 30 min of discussion. Nu!trek is more like 1hr 45min of action and 10 min of dialogue. What happened to the intelligent discussions? Gone, replaced by yelling and more action. This is no Star Trek!
Sure this is an 'alternate reality' but in the Mirror Mirror ep of TOS Spock was the SAME even in another universe! STILL LOGICAL! So how is he so emo in this one? Make no sense....
Also the writers, and majority of the actors were not ST fans. Only Karl Urban was, and he CLEARLY gave the best performance with what little scenes he had. Since he knew what ST was ABOUT. The writers just sat down watched the 1st aired ep of ST TOS and were like 'Boom, we'll do that!' In that ep, Uhura sort of flirted with Spock. But his real love interest on the ship was Nurse Chapel. And it was implied in the later movies that Uhura ended up with Scotty...but these writers are no fans to care. Just lazy.
