2009 reboot movie was an obvious turning point, seemed like it was being used as an audition for Star Wars.

IIRC there were behind the scenes politics involved due to who owned the rights, like they were able to use the names and setting but it had to be "thematically" different to not infringe on previous series, which were owned by a different company.
