No, but they are just overdoing it too much these days. And no I didn't like the later political Star Trek ones either. But I did like the old sci fi stuff incl the original Star Trek series and movies. It's just that the current "action" movies are so shallow.

I used to like Battlestar Gallactica, remember that? Yeah, there was always some shooting and fist fights, but they were more than that, had interesting characters (incl villains) and appealed to my imagination, too. The older Star Wars movies had that, too.

Maybe I am just getting old...
