Trek has normally featured some action sequences though.

They were drama with a fair amount of action and a little comedy. Whereas, in my opinion, the new ones resemble action movies more than anything else.

They do have to put butts in the seats.

Something with the widest appeal possible, while not totally alienating established fans would make the most sense.

Although they could have made much better choices. I, for one, lost interest after the first movie.

The first movie with the younger cast worked for me best as a stand-alone. It's when it became obvious they wanted to make more of them that the problems began IMHO.
The 2nd movie was not a personal favorite for different reasons, and I am weary of the phrase "for a wider auidence" and all that it entails. |

The problem with concentrating too much on special effects, and the cost of creating them, is that it can easily lead to Star Wars syndrome: lots of great visual and audio effects, but plot? What is that? It can easily be damaging to a show like Star Trek that has always considered the plot, good or bad, to be an integral part of the show. But oh well. Welcome to the brave new world.

All true points, and I'd say you're preaching to the choir, really. Again, though: Big movies cost big bucks, so the people spending the money want the assurance that they aren't just throwing the money away. You look at which movies are trending, and you make your own movie like those. After all, Star Trek: The Motionless Picture was all about the story, and look at how many ways that went wrong.
