star trek is not about action
This
Yes the older Star Trek wasn't about action but the times have changed. Most people nowadays want to see action, so to reach the targeted audience they updated the feel of Star Trek to impress the people who aren't already Star Trek fans. The result of it all, it worked. Star Trek (2009) made a lot of money and because of that, it was a success. I have seen pretty much all of the old Star Trek movies and the latest 2009 movie. I like them both in their own right. I can live with either one of them, so it isn't that big of a deal to me that they made the latest movie have tons more action in it.
