Hated it

Yeah, no rabid fan boy here. I just don't agree with the OP. Disagreement is hatred?
On another note, why is it, in the discussion of the Abrams film about parallel universes, no one talks about the Mirror Universe? That is the same thing, the crew's lives unfolding in a different way than what had previously been portrayed.
In that universe, Amok Time may not have happened, Sarek may have died because Spock was serving the Empire, etc. Why is that treated differently?
Why are there so many posters who don't seem to get the idea of an alternate timeline?
That's...
...not a bad point.
Now I love TNG and DS9; can tolerate Voyager, Enterprise I have a few I can watch. I don't really dislike any of the spinoffs, but they don't hold the same place in the heart that TOS and the TOS movies do. By the end, it was paint by numbers Trek.
The new movies added back a level of excitement, of fun. Yeah it was over the top at points, but so was TOS. And part of TOS's charm was the over the top moments. But above all, the characters felt like characters. They didn't feel like actors hitting marks and spouting off techno-babble. It wasn't dry.
You really ought to have known better than to attempt to bait other posters.
But you did it anyway. Heigh-ho.

Where's Doc Brown and his chalkboard when you need him?
They're stuck in the darkest 1985.

Soul? Eh, debatable. More effort and investment? Oh, hell yes.
I hate them, too.
I hate them for being too infrequent, and for being so damned entertaining. And now, the next one isn't until 2016?
Damn them! Damn them to hell!
Damnation JJ, get to work!
Good one.
Yeah, I don't think they have more 'soul' at all. In fact, I'd probably argue the opposite in so far as they are movies designed to put as many asses in seats as possible in a broadly cynical way by pandering to lowest common denominator cinema tropes and ideas largely derivative of superior material.
this is what I hope for trek in 2016.
Star trek 3 (50th anniversary) = James Bons Skyfall (50th anniversary)

Needs more lines adding. There's a universe created when Nero arrives and then there's another universe created when Spock arrives later. Presumably, there's also another universe created when Vulcan is sucked into a black hole and its remains are spewed out somewhere.
Oh, and there's also the universe created from the remains of the Nerada too.

No - Spock, for whatever reason ( the vagaries of red matter blackhole time travel ), ends up in the universe created by Nero's arrival. This is presumably because they went into the same red matter black hole as opposed to different ones.

Still in a place called "complete irrelevance to the Trek franchise", as usual.
If you think about it, if you really wanted to have a open discussion about either of the Abrams Trek movies, the Star Trek Movies XI+ forum is probably the last place you'd want to do it.
Problem is, if you do open a thread specifically about the Abrams movies in the General Trek Discussion forum, the mods will likely move it here. End of open discussion with multiple viewpoints and opinions, a (usually) polite give and respond debate.
If the board members who basically live in here would tone it down, it would be a much more entertaining forum to visit.
Exactly, it spat both of them out into the same alternate universe.

Come on, it was begging for it. It does have some connection with Lloyd/Kruge...
