Speaking as a life-long Trek fan, I thought Star Trek 09 was fantastic (easily many times superior to any of the Next Gen-era films), and much more harmonious with the spirit of TOS than many Trek fans are willing to admit.

Really?

How was it that much different from Nemesis or Enterprise?

Time travel elements changing the established canon, bald Romulan bad guys with an overblown vengeance wish armed with superweapons housed in a giant spaceships threaten Earth. People leaping from on platform to another. The villain's slow realisation of his doom shot.

There was the novelty of seeing the old characters played by new actors and the special effects were 'up to date' but that's it really.

The main difference was the media being behind the project, selling the same rope as the latest thing.
