Rick Berman ran the Star Trek franchise from roughly 1990-2007 and really drove it into the ground for the last decade. They never should have let him have complete creative control after Gene Roddenberry died. This movie goes back to basics, like how they rebooted Bond and Batman and all that after some horrible movies (though I thought Star Trek Nemesis was OK). The difference is this movie is a prequel and manages to reboot things through an in-universe sci-fi explanation.
