Very hard, if you know as little about Star Trek as I.
Hate for the new Trek and the Future of Trek

Yes, I am. But it is only an example.
Though, Myk, would you rather have a bad movie or no movie?
It's a bad example. Food is required to live. Movies, not so much. Movies are sugarcoated globs of fat. Not that far from "poison".
I'm going with bad movie. Though the last two Trek films do not fall into that category for me.
Every Star Trek fan has their opinion. I respect yours. Now, I do not hate the new movies but I prefer the prime universe.
But it won't plant butts in the theatre. And for all its flaws (and I agree they are many) that's exactly what Trek XI did.
I get my Prime fix by reading books.
As do I.
As do I.
I would take no movie and all the books, if given the choice between bad film and no film.
Personally, I find no "poison" in Abrams Trek but I certainly understand the point of view. I simply disagree with it.

Why not? The mass of viewers the studio wishes to attract won't know the difference; they don't care. They just want a good story and a wild ride.
The films have tended to be more actiony than the TV series, that's just true. The TV series have at least tried to aim for a morality tale wrapped in some form of entertaining package, that's just true. But the previous movies at least attempted the merest sliver of a morality tale, whereas the latest two have abandoned that entirely and focused completely on the action. They abandoned the heart of the franchise for popularity. I know there's a whole mess of people on here that are overjoyed at that. And good for them. Too bad it comes at the expense of what was unique and wonderful about Star Trek. The franchise isn't just the names, places, and tech. Interest isn't interest when you have to fundamentally change the heart of the franchise to garner that interest.
Which simply isn't true and one would know this if they put down the beer goggles and paid attention.
I know why people hate the rebooted/Abrams movies! You know that rivalry between Star Trek and Star Wars fans? Well, JJ Abrams worked on Star Wars. So maybe die-hard "pure" trekkies did not want a Star Wars guy messing up/adding to/working on superior Star Trek.

I like Star Wars movies, and get along with Star Wars fans quite well.
The "rivalry" is a fabrication. The only problem some of us have with the two Abrams trek's is we don't lie what was done with it, no hate is involved. Personally I love the costumes and the pre-title sequence of ST Eleven is fantastic.
I dislike the re-imagining of James Kirk, and the relationship between Spock and Uhura (I feel) was a mistake.

How is the Star Trek/Star Wars rivalry a fabrication?
I also dislike the new disrespectful, "shooter" guy and the relationship which we agree on (it was a mistake).
