Kind of? I'm not a huge fan of the reboot movies in general. I felt like they simplified a lot of characterization into SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS + MAIN CHARACTERS CRY ABOUT IT + MAIN CHARACTERS YELL WITH ANGER.

Also, my objections with Uhura crying/emoting in the movies is that she always seemed to do it as a satellite to someone else's more major pain. Even her relationship with Spock makes her a satellite of his story line and his character in general. And I know part of adaptation a series into a movie is the reduced screen time, and so different characters get shafted and other stuff has to be combined and Kirk and Spock are the main characters so it kind of makes sense that the rest of the crew has to revolve around them now, but it's still annoying.

Like search for "Best of Uhura" youtube and the first page is mostly all Uhura/Spock moments.

da


but like you said, Uhura is just a secondary character and the reboot movies aren't about her.
I mean good luck trying to find what McCoy did beside being Jim Kirk's best friend (tbh, Uhura did more than McCoy or the other secondary male characters saved maybe for Scotty in the last movie).
This doesn't mean that Uhura and McCoy are bad characters just because the way they get to show their emotions is in relation to important their relationships with the main characters that are important to them.
