The Abrams movies, on the other hand, are just big dumb action flicks. There is no heart or intellect to them. The movies are just big ships flying around shooting each other, explosions, planets cracking apart, and Alice Eve showing off her mammaries. The first movie could have been average, even though it portrays Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, and the rest as only thinly written caricatures of the original characters. But the second can't even be bothered to write an original story, ripping off all of its dramatic and emotional beats from The Wrath of Khan.

It's simply candy for people who don't like to think and just want to watch a big dumb action movie. That's fine; I get some of you like that. But it's not Star Trek... or at least, it shouldn't be.

Sorry for the triple-posting, won't happen again.
