Don't get me wrong, action is necessary, but there is a way to do it with what is at hand, just as it has been going with everything being over the top.
It would have been blasephomy before, but was touched on in DS9, but I can see these two thoughts of what Star Trek is becoming having a good on screen battle that is not devoid of intellectual contemplation as this movie was. (Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it for what it was, and in and of itself. But taken as a whole, it was but a shadow of its predecessor. Like a kid trying to put on adult shoes. It's cute; fun to watch; but not the real thing.) The Youth oriented, shoot first, ask questions later, conquer by force of will and young unending labedo fighting for dominance of Starfleet and the spirit of the Federation over the older, wiser, more thoughtful and peaceful explorers of a generation overlooked. Say the difference between a young butter bar who leads his platoon over the top for the direct assault, as compared to the older captain who leads his element to flank the enemy to destroy their supply line and reduce their will and ability to fight. (Maybe this is why I might have been part of the minority who disliked seeing Picard becoming Kirk-Lite in the movies (I didn't need to see him win the girl, or fight hand to hand, etc.))

Ah you hit it on the mark. See they're attracting new younger blood so they show that younger adults know more than the older veterans. Why they shoot first and still don't ask questions. Thinking is optional..
Firing weapons is much easier..
Also its mostly about money so they're going to get the new generation attached thinking there immortals hehehe.
I get that impression that the next generation viewers are telling us oldino's to shutup and move on its our movie now.. Thats perfectly fine by me. I prefer the older cheezy startrek anyday.
