My perspective is that at least Into Darkness has a message? Kind of? '09 felt like Star Trek: Mountain Dew. Don't get me wrong though I don't feel either is worth defending and I put one second total into deciding the Kelvinverse order.
Beyond and 09 weren’t good, but I think Into Darkness was quite significantly worse. It was probably the single least creative movie I’ve ever seen, though I guess some other Abrams movies come close.
I will not die on this hill. If you say it's worse I believe you because I'll never watch any of them again.
@Corgana @bababooey
I watched the first JJ Star Trek movie. It was basically one long Kirk brawl and then they made him captain. It was pathetic.
Can we all agree to refer to 09 as Star Trek: Mountain Dew, from now on?
I love the film, but it's a fair nickname.

Generations above First Contact is a hot take, too
I have a soft spot for it. It's weird in a good way! No shade at First Contact tho.
Generations gave us Data's lifeforms song, which is certainly a positive in my book.
There's also: "Yes it is REVOLTING!"
"More?"
"Please!!"
It's got Kirk and Picard, which is a movie that should exist even if the execution wasn't ideal.
And the cinematography is always eye catching.
Some of the best in the entire franchise!
