The ship is ugly as sin. I know it's based on the old Ralph McQuarrie concepts, but ugh.

We had a fair amount of that in the JJ films
Ehh, we did but we didn't. We had ship to ship battles, but they tended to be a lot more fast paced. It wasn't really the slow methodical battles you'd see in Trek, especially in the original series.
But then those behind these films have gone on record more than once saying they were heavily influenced by Star Wars. In the first movie when Kirk shows up on his motorcycle and see's that huge Starfleet base..that was their Tatooine moment. Haven't seen the latest movie yet, but so many moments in the first two have a lot of SW's vibes. Which IMO isn't a bad thing and I think it's what Trek needed to revitalize it and make it popular among current audiences.
We needed a younger cast and a faster paced movie and they did it while at the same time not utterly gutting everything that made Trek great in the past.
