Meh, it was a set of good popcorn movies, but it never was Roddenberry Star Trek. Bay got the action part dialed in, but swung and whiffed on the social commentary that was core to Star Trek ( I was ST:TNG geek. I might have had a burgundy command jumper made for me in jr high, and have a cheap command pull-over in my closet, as well as a TNG bluetooth phone speaker).
Also, everyone may have heard me bitch about how Bay, as a shitty writer, MacGuffin’ed slash Deus Ex Machima’ed to death the whole premise of Star Trek by making the whole “Trans-warp Beaming” bullshit…. It was a very lazy writing tool to get Kirk back on to the Enterprise after they wrote themselves into a shitty corner. Need to move light-years away? Just magic them to the destination (while defeating the purpose of a ship to get there. Want to follow Kahn to his destination, well that Trans-warp beaming is locked behind some sort of State Secrets, away from *checks notes* the guy who invented it.) (/end rant).
