I prefer classic Star Trek myself, but I think even the older Star Trek 
movies tended to be more action-oriented and a less cerebral than the TV
shows.  For instance, a couple of the most popular Trek movies were The 
Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home - IMO both a bit more action-oriented and
less cerebral than the TV show.  I suppose you could make a case that Star
Trek 6 (The Undiscovered Country), which was probably one of the more 
popular Trek movies, was a bit more cerebral..

I suppose I agree with you, it's more Hollywood than Star Trek.

I don't know why they went back and started over with Kirk and his crew
though..  I would have rather seen some more Star Trek continuing in the 
Next Generation era.  Even something between the original series and Next
Generation would have been interesting.  We have only seen the Enterprise B
and Enterprise C once each on screen.
