That's true. But it's also true of nearly every single movie sequel / series ever done. Like First Blood, Alien, Predator, Star Wars, Jaws, Matrix, Bourne Identity, Lethal Weapon, The Mummy, Terminator etc. I guess they feel they need to, to keep the interest.
Star Trek always was action styled, and not a complete hijack which say Alien and First Blood was. (Note, Rambo doesn't directly kill anyone - just that one guy who dies falling from the chopper after being hit by a stone.)
I'm just glad Star Trek Beyond was done well enough (even if its a reboot / not canon) to be enjoyed.
