I view it as Star Wars fans getting revenge on the Trek universe. Heaven forbid they could’ve come up with original characters and set it after TNG/DS9 instead of this unholy mess...
Instead, we get:
Captain Pike as John F. Kennedy in the Navy.
Teen Kirk as a snot-nosed brat with zero experience who couldn’t command a dinghy.
Angry Spock who has the hots for Uhura.
McCoy who looks like Gary Mitchell (and where is Gary Mitchell ?)
Comedy Scotty.
Chinese Sulu (Where’s Kumar ?)
A 10-year old “Butters” Chekov.
Bitchy cheerleader Uhura.
Roddenberry is spinning in his grave.
