J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek trilogy reinvented the classic sci-fi property for modern audiences, but one of the drawbacks was that a lot of longtime fans weren’t best pleased with the franchise being turned into an action-packed series of broad mega budget blockbusters, which saw many holding firm in the belief that the essence of what the TV shows were all about was lost in a haze of splashy visuals and pyrotechnic set pieces.
It was a criticism that dogged the Kelvin trio right from the very beginning, when the “this isn’t your dad’s Star Trek” tagline accompanying the opening installment drew ire from veteran Trekkers. All three movies performed fairly well at the box office, though, if hardly to the standards you’d expect given the mammoth production and marketing costs involved.
