The TV reporters at the beginning were very "un-Trek"
One thing that slightly ruined this film for me were the news reporters at the beginning. One thing Star Trek has managed to do well throughout all seasons is avoid any kind of news coverage, reporters, or the like. I'm not sure why exactly, but leaving that kind of thing out gives the whole show a unique feel and leaves more to the imagination. Basically, we don't know how people get their news in the future - it's an unanswered question that doesn't need answering. As such, I think that including the reporters at the beginning of this film was a very odd decision.
