    I definitely enjoyed the movies, but at the risk of sounding like a gatekeeper, they didn’t really feel like Trek. It felt more to me like an action sci-fi in the vein of, say, Avatar, with a coat of Trek paint to lure the fans in.

    Still enjoyable, mind you, but not really something I remember when I think of the Trek universe.

      The '09 Star Trek movie, judged on its merits as a Star Trek movie, was a pretty good Star Wars movie.

      I agree they’re not Trek, but they are much closer than any show after Enterprise.

          Reminder: the only new Trek since Enterprise are devoid of Berman / Roddenberry and are the Kurtzman abominations. Discovery and Picard are Star Wars sequel trilogy tier.

            You do realize that Frakes is ALL OVER the new Treks? Is fucking Commander Riker not Trek enough for you?

              The presence of the legendary Patrick Stewart, the most iconic of all Trek actors, does not make Picard a Trek show. It makes it even worse. It’s like if you brought Mark Hammill back to Star Wars to be a grumpy slouch.
