Trek is good precisely because it's the opposite of shitty space action. It's good space action. When I said they were making shitty space action, I meant it.
Space action is ships/people shooting each other and having significant impact on the tactical situation. (Khan, Country.)
Shitty space action is lasers, lasers everywhere, constant lasers, fucking LASERS, and none of them have any fucking impact on the plot.
The new Trek movies are sort of in between Shitty and Good, I guess, because they don't really take themselves 100% serious, so all the lasers (seriously, the enterprise shoots like a million lasers per second now, in comparison to like, the one phaser shot per minute of old trek) are sort of just window dressing. Everything is so over the top and hypercharged that they don't seem particularly out of place.
