A Star Trek on steroids, why this violence?

Rating: 6/10 (17 June 2013)

So I finally went to watch Star Trek last night. Disappointing, I give it a 6.5/10 since I have the feeling I witnessed the birth of an hybrid between Star Trek, Star War and Matrix on steroids. The special effects are definitely great, the story is interesting but the actuation is pathetic with dialogs at the level of kindergärtner discussions. J.J. Abrams tried desperately not to bore the viewers with their own thoughts by creating this high-pace movie full of explosions and ultra- violence. There is not a moment in movie where the viewers can really appreciate the superb special effects.
Space exploration is cool enough on its own, so this unnecessary violence ruined the movie and made me feel uncomfortable while watching it. Am I old fashioned already?
