Unfortunately, people's tastes have changed. At the same time, Hollywood's current trend of relying on special effects as main selling points for its movies is actually hurting Hollywood. Dare I say, "
Battleship"
If you compare today's movies - with movies of yester-year - today's movies appear to be far far less creative.
As far as I'm concerned, this JJA rendition is garbage to me. Heck, I don't even remember what the heck happened in that movie. I suppose, you can label me as a "purist" in this regard. I say this without actually watching the Original series, and instead, watching the TOS 1980's movies with the same crew. Though, a couple of those movies flat out sucked too.
TNG has been a very huge favorite of mine.
