The Star Trek franchise reached an interesting juncture when JJ Abrams took over the director's chair to reboot Star Trek: The Original Series. Abrams' 2009 film was a huge success at the box office and spawned two sequels to make up the reboot trilogy. However, it is interesting to note that despite being commercially and critically successful, many hardcore Trekkies believe that the director could not handle the reboot very well.
JJ Abrams is one of the rarest directors who got to try both Star Trek and Star Wars. But Trekkies claim that the director's reboot lacked the signature Star Trek flavor found in the earlier series and films. One Redditor took the example of a particular scene from the 2009 Chris Pine film to explain how the director never cared enough about the franchise's lore.
Kobayashi Maru is a training program in the Gene Roddenberry series conducted to test Starfleet Academy cadets in an impossible scenario. It was first introduced in William Shatner's 1982 Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and has been a recurring feature of the franchise ever since.
