STV was indeed awful. Trek '09...I wasn't impressed. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't very good. Just a big empty-headed action flick that happens to be set in the Star Trek universe, that's all. Didn't have any shred of nuance or subtextual depth to the script, which is something all the good Trek movies had - even freaking Generations tried for it - and anyway the direction was just spastic enough to make the action less enjoyable than it should've been.
I wish Hollywood would wake the hell up and remember that action movies and good writing are not mutually exclusive...
Karl Urban is Deforest Kelly, though.
