You went to a recycled franchise expecting something mind-blowingly new?

It's an action-oriented big-budget Star Trek blockbuster - you go to see spaceships crashing into each other. Intelligent sci-fi rarely sells enough tickets to justify a budget in the hundreds of millions.

I don't really like the reboot either (wrong tone entirely if you ask me) but you can't say you could expect much after the first, right?

I actually didn't think the first one was as awful as this one. Perhaps it was because of the novelty.

Missing the grand thought experiment of an emotion-driven Spock, they just passed over the character development entirely.
