    It's a dumb fun movie and you just need to stop nerding out over things like that. Star Trek was never hard sci-fi, never was.

      Star Trek was never hard sci-fi, never was.

      Maybe not, but it was always about fairly long journeys of days, weeks, months, even years. Instant travel removes the core of the experience.

        Yeah, but all the movies tend to feature more or less instant travel, even the old ones

          The more that was emphasized as an actual plot beat, the worse those movies tended to be received. The most fondly remembered ones at least implied a sense of distance and travel time, such as Wrath of Khan and Undiscovered Country.

      Yeah but it always conveyed a sense of time and distance and scale and coherency. Fast-travelling like a video game kind of shits on the "trek" part of the title.
