What I find myself asking myself when I watch this movie is "would I rather be watching this or the original timeline movies that are generally considered bad". My rating of 7 puts this movie above Nemesis, Insurrection, Generations and Final Frontier, as well as tied with In Search of Spock and The Motion Picture. But for me, those movies are very different products.
Star Trek 2009 is pretty much JJ Abrahms wheelhouse. Competent, if suffering from a lack of soul and something to say. It makes for a very watchable movie, but not a particularly interesting piece of art.
Those original timeline movies I list? they're much sloppier and less "good" by traditional film criticism. But for me, they have a lot more heart and soul to them. So in a way, I respect them more, even if I consider all of them (including the two it's score is tied with) less quality movies.
