Abrams is just awful.
It doesn't matter whether its Lost or anything else he touches.
As a lifelong Star Trek fan, well, I thought his film was utter crap.
Great direction? There wasn't even one clean shot of the Enterprise.
Using a time-traveling Romulan bent on revenge so that they could have the excuse of playing in an alternate timeline was pathetic.
What Star Trek fans wanted was a real series of prequel fims showing us how the original crew met and came together since this was never done with the original series.
But I can't entirely blame Abrams. He told Paramount he knew nothing about Star Trek and they hired him anyway.
He wrote Armageddon. Yep. And don't forget that he wrote that abysmal Superman script (Flyby) wherein he had Superman dying from kryptonite while somehow the planet Krypton never explodes.
It would be laughable if it weren't so sad.
If Lucas stuck the knife in Star Wars, Abrams will be turning the blade that ensures its death.
