This is just me, but from what I saw, it looked like they were too busy trying to make everything cool. Star Trek was never “cool,” and I mean that in a good way. There were hardly any guns and explosions. It was always about the nitty-gritty interactions of space politics. I mean sure there were some exciting moments, but it was in between the politics. It wasn’t the whole point of the show. Modern Star Trek seems to be more about just being a different flavor of Star Wars.

The Defiant exists, so Star Trek can be cool. 🙂 I agree with you though. Star Trek was never an action blockbuster. When it hit critical mass in pop culture was with TNG, the one with long speeches about ethics. I feel like the trek movies could be better with a smaller budget. With a large budget comes the expectation that you will have lots of action. A smaller budget may allow them to have a more “Trek” feeling script.
