In all fairness, the only Trek she enjoys is/are the new movies.

IV seems to be the one with the most mainstream, non-Trek fan appeal

I’d consider myself a casual more mainstream Trek fan and I really dislike IV.

Really? That’s interesting. My aunt usually can’t stand any Trek, and she really enjoy IV. Wasn’t it the highest-grossing one prior to

What.

What is the general opinion of the Kelvin-verse Trek around here? I know a few longtime Trekkies who really aren’t big on it. I personally like it OK, but think there’s very little of the intellectual moral problems and mind-bending sci-fi plots that marked Trek at its best, but it’s a fun laser light show.

I thought I’d heard every disparaging remark in the last 9 years, but this is a new one on me. I mean, I get what the insult is supposed to be, what with it being a movie about a guy who rejects the call, then follows the call and saves the day.

I don’t know it was necessarily supposed to be a disparaging remark; I don’t hate Abrams Trek as much as some fans do, and I think there’re a lot of things to recommend (mostly related to the cast), but I do think it lost almost all of the intelligence in Abrams’ hands.
