Personally I think it's sad that Star Trek has become Star Revenge.
Say what you like about the first picture but at least it was about exploration and was cinematic.
Since then all the films including JJ's have been rather cartoonish revenge stories which could have been made for television with a big backer.
All the films? Just going through my head and trying to think of all the movies and how many of them have revenge themes in them. Been a while since I've seen any of them though.
Wrath of Khan - Yes
Search for Spock - No
The Voyage Home - No
The Final Frontier - No
The Undiscovered Country - Yes
Generations - No
First Contact - Yes
Insurrection - Yes
Nemesis - Yes
J. J. Trek 2009 - Yes
Unless I am forgetting certain aspects of some of the films, or making up others, that is over half, even if you throw The Motion Picture in for good measure. Bingo's all is hyperbole, but only a little.
I would even say that VI (The Undiscovered Country) wasn't about revenge. It was about conspiracy.
