   I prefer classic Star Trek myself, but I think even the older Star Trek    
   movies tended to be more action-oriented and a less cerebral than the TV   
   shows.  For instance, a couple of the most popular Trek movies were The    
   Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home - IMO both a bit more action-oriented and   
   less cerebral than the TV show.  I suppose you could make a case that Star   
   Trek 6 (The Undiscovered Country), which was probably one of the more    
   popular Trek movies, was a bit more cerebral..   
      
   I suppose I agree with you, it's more Hollywood than Star Trek.   
      
   I don't know why they went back and started over with Kirk and his crew   
   though..  I would have rather seen some more Star Trek continuing in the    
   Next Generation era.  Even something between the original series and Next   
   Generation would have been interesting.  We have only seen the Enterprise B   
   and Enterprise C once each on screen.
