At the time it felt like a soulless cash grab, and completely missed the essence of what makes Star Trek what it is.
In retrospect, my opinion of it has somewhat softened. I can somewhat enjoy it for what it is, and it at least has some entertainment value. The fact that it kept one of my favorite series alive is a good thing. Subsequent Star Trek movies and TV shows were pretty rocky though. I did like some of Strange New Worlds, and parts of Picard were okay, but I never actually finished it.
