Jamelle Bouie wasn’t satisfied with Star Trek: Into Darkness:

These aren’t as disjointed as they look, and they all point to my main problem with Into Darkness: I don’t mind that Abrams and Lindelof wanted to remake “Space Seed” and Wrath. What I mind is that it was half-assed, with hardly any thought given to the characters. The first movie could get away with what it was—a long sequence of action set-pieces strung together by a threadbare plot. But this needed to have an actual core, and Abrams couldn’t deliver.

Jamelle is dead-on. My biggest misgiving with J.J. Abrams’s style of filmmaking is that he likes to create the facade of substance in his films without much at all underneath. It’s a science fiction wrapper for little more than adventure blockbusters.
