I haven't seen the new Star Trek, so I can't comment on that, but you can't actually be comparing the 'bad' movies of this decade to what are regarded as some of the best movies ever, can you? To be fair you better pick a different comparison. How does the Godfather stack up against movies from the last 10 years that will still be talked about 40 years from now?
Maybe there is more crap getting out because it is easier to make/distribute a movie? How many theatres are there now compared to the 70's? That could have a lot to do with it.
Maybe people are happy to go see big 'spolsions. What's wrong with that? Isn't the point of going to the movies to be entertained? Who cares if it's brainless...a lot of people obviously still liked it for that.
