Yeah, JJ Abrams attitude is what made me decide to not watch this movie. And I liked the first one.

Hopefully, the next re-boot in twenty years will have someone that actually liked Star Trek.

AYRT

Sadly, I wanted to watch anyway, as I didn't think it could be that big an issue. I was wrong.

I agree. There is so much to the Star Trek universe above and beyond "space action movie" and I'd love to see it explored.

Abrams' attitude about a lot of things is starting to sour me. So far I still find the movies entertaining enough but if it goes at all downhill that will likely change.

5th season of Fringe pretty much cemented me not liking him too much anymore.

I actually hadn't known that Abrams didn't like Star Trek until this thread. Looking back on the movies, this explains A LOT - the movies feel a lot less like Star Trek and a lot more like what people think Star Trek should be (in particular, what butthurt fanboys think it should be, especially given the ridiculous uniforms - years later and I STILL see BS sexist crap about Voyager!)

I'm still curious if those rumors about Abrams editing the male characters' bodies to be less sexualized have any merit to them. I used to just dismiss those rumors but this thread is making me start to rethink that...

I hadn't heard that one! It would fit with the sexist mentality (how to get women to watch the movie? Put in a baby scene!!).

To be fair, the quote about him not liking Star Trek is more along the lines of him not being a fan before he got the director job, at which point he looked into it and decided he liked it. But it seems to me it would explain his rather shallow understanding of some things, like Kirk's character.
