Jesus Tapdancing Christ, are you fricking dense? Clearly it's not the same Star Trek you grew up with and loved. It is NOT a Star Trek movie in the vein of Wrath of Khan. For frick's sake, I've already told you how to judge it: independently from the other films and the TV show. It is a standalone piece that borrows very little from the original world. fricking get over it.
Are all Trekkies as crazycakes as you? This is a serious question.

So, if it does not have anything in common with the known Star Trek product that I already enjoy, I can just choose (should have chosen, anyway) to disregard it? Thanks. That is good advice - good advice that I will be following into the future.

No, seriously, if I am not supposed to evaluate how the new Star Trek product is treating the characters that I, frankly, care about, then I don't understand why it says, "Star Trek", why it involves characters with these names or the similarities it superficially has with TOS.
Ya'll keep saying "It's different", "It's new", "It's fresh", whatever, but I still don't like it and I think it is not only "not" good, but that it's terrible. Your position is that I'm crazy for thinking so. Whatever.

I initially was a bit nervous about rebooting the universe, but I think it was handled just fine.
Now don't get me started on the silliness of the death drill, the lack of any planetary defenses on Vulcan or the fact the Romulans sat around in the same exact spot for 20 years (they actually didn't but their movements and the plot behind that was cut). Even the cut out plot was silly because that means the Klingons spent 20 years with the captured Romulan ship without taking it apart or duplicating the technology.
See, I told you to not get me started.

You're in the wrong here buddy, and overly mad. You're asking longtime fans to forget everything they know about the story. That's impossible. It's like making a new Star Wars and asking everyone to forget what happened in the past. Same for Godfather. Same for Lord of the Rings. Ain't gonna happen. It's an unreasonable request.
