Like I said earlier in the thread, they kind-of chickened out with Enterprise. The show could have given us a ship that took weeks to go anywhere (space is rather big, after all), had minimal weapons to speak of, almost no protection and with none of the technology that later shows simply took for granted. Instead, we're at a new planet each week, phase cannons and photonic torpedoes look exactly like and do exactly the same job as phasers and photon torpedoes, polarised hull plating is pretty much as good as shields always were in the franchise (hit comes in, consoles on the bridge explode, "shields/hull plating down to 68% sir!"...), the grappler does the same job as a tractor beam, the transporter is pretty much as good as it is 200+ years later...
That show tried to change too little from the Trek formula that had worked. This show...hell, I'm not sure STD even has a formula any longer. If it does, it's not the same one that it began life with when Bryan Fuller was still showrunner.
RE: the reboot films. I enjoyed 2009's Star Trek, in spite of the plot holes and rushed story. I also enjoyed ST: Beyond, again in spite of some plot holes. But ST Into Darkness has to be one of the worst Trek films of the bunch, almost on a par with Nemesis in sheer awfulness. Final Frontier has more redeeming qualities.
