Now I liked the action scenes in the Abrams films, more so the first one, but almost anyone could have come up with a better “story” for either of them especially the 2nd one. They literally did not give a damn about having any decent story at all, disgusting.
If the writers were payed more the equivalent of minimum wage, it was too much.
I forgave them for the paper-thin story in the first one since “Nero the time traveling Romulan from the future” was just a plot device to free themselves from previous continuity and bring in a new cast. NOW they had the freedom to do any kind of story they wanted, seemingly.
But it takes them four years to write a sequel that’s basically a generic “crazy British terrorist” action movie recycling the name “Khan” from the old Star Trek? Inexcusable.
