I was fairly unimpressed with the first Abram's ST and I doubt it will change with the new one. As others have mentioned, Star Trek strengths lie in it's character driven nature of the TV shows, while the movies struggle to work as action flicks.

The obsession of Hollywood with darker versions of older material doesn't work either in my opinion. Star trek is one of the few sci-fi franchises with an optimistic view of the future. Scifi reflects the times in which it is created and for that reason I can't see a lighthearted optimistic but moralistic Trek like TNG be viable anytime soon.
