That's exactly what Abrams did--and I do mean that in a negative way. He wants to make a sci-fi action movie? Fine. I just don't get why he'd brand it as Star Trek. He's taken a TV and movie series that was about thought-provoking stories with moments of action and created action stories with... Well, who are we kidding, with no thought-provoking content at all.
The blame for this doesn't lie with Abrams, though. The Star Trek movies have been dumbed-down, plotless action movies ever since Generations. The only major difference between the TNG movies and Abrams' movie, in that regard, is that Abrams' movie was a well done action movie.
