I don't much like JJ Abrams work - he seems to want to make feature films like music videos - over-emphasising visual appeal and suppressing character and plot development.

I read an interview with him about Star Trek where, to paraphrase, he said that the Star Trek series (plural) had been like classical music and he wanted to turn it into rock 'n' roll. To me, that speaks volumes about his approach to making films.

JJ says he cares about the fans, but I don't think he actually knows which fans he's talking about when he says that.

On the one hand, I'm happy that Star Trek is still alive, but on the other, I dearly wish it was being made by someone else.
