I know it wasnt the greatest thing that's ever been done under the star trek name, but I do think this could be the thing to get non Trekkies into trek. It was basically a fast and furious / mission impossible movie that happened to be in the star Trek universe. Sometimes something stupid but accessible can get people into a larger franchise. I am also really into Thunderbirds, the old puppet show made in the 60's it got repeated in the UK in the 90's and became a huge phenomenon way bigger than the first time it was shown. So inevitably a live action movie was made in the 00's and it was absolutely awful, however when I have encountered younger fans who are into Thunderbirds they always point to the live action as their first exposure to it which led onto the original show. The only way was up once you got into it.
I think that was definitely the idea. I'm somewhat skeptical that it worked, but it would be cool if it was a gateway movie for someone.
Give it time you just never know........
