Just ask.TOS had modest effects for the time (some new stuff, but mostly the same ol' tricks). The episodes were driven by story and character.Trek 2 had good effects, but was still mostly about the story and characters.Trek 6 had about average FX for the time (the bar was set pretty high at that point), and was totally driven by the story and characters.JJATrek, on the other hand, was driven by glare and splice-cut editing, and only managed to keep 1 character remotely like the others. As with most Kurtzman/Orci scripts they chose to almost completely ignore what was established, give a 2-finger salute to the existing fan base, and totally rewrite the situations, whenever possible adding scatological humor and sex jokes.And, call me silly, but if I am going to a movie that is about flashy FX, I want to actually SEE the pretty light show. Black ship. Black background. Only time we can see it is when it passes in front of a star, which blurs everything. Shakey-cam makes me nauseous. Story has plot holes you could fly a star ship through.</blockquote>
