That's not to say I don't like the new reboot series, I do, I really like them, but I go into them detached from the fact that they are Star Trek films. However I think that Bones and Spock are great in the new movies too, not so much Kirk and Uhuru... or Scotty

You mention The Undiscovered Country. That's the biggest action film of all the original ones. As far as them being unlike the original ideas, i'd hardly say Wrath of Khan was exactly action packed after just watching it and The Search for Spock again this past week. |

The Next Gen had a problem, and that was Gene Roddenberry, he insisted that people were more advanced in this day and age and conflict wasn't really a thing, so he insisted that the writers make episodes without conflict. As you all know, that's a terrible idea as a good story needs some issue to resolve. It got better though after Gene died sometime around season 3/4. The TNG movies were great on the whole, the worst by far being 'Generations' but they were essentially extended TNG episodes with more money and better special effects, so in turn they still kept the 'feel' of it being Star Trek. They might not have been successful in being great films but they were very Star Trek.

I'm exactly the same, and have really enjoyed the three films in the rebooted franchise. I found Beyond the weakest of the three, but certainly a highly enjoyable and very well made sci-fi-action-thriller which, just like Into Darkness, I'll pick up on BD when the price is right (probably 5 for £30 from HMV).
