Then so be it. If this turns out to be a terrible Trek, I'd rather see it bomb than see it be successful and watch Trek turn into yet another teeny bopper flick. Trek is better than that. Trek's success should not hinge on whether the "tween" crowd wants to see this or not. It should hinge on it being a good story or not.

A crowd that doesn't normally give a crap about Trek anyway. So they're going to insert lots of action and some sex into a Trek film. It'll be yet another blockbuster of the week that everyone will forget about a month after it's released.
