Someone edited it a klingon control panel to say NO SMOKING while some klingon dude is puffing a cig, Klingon Doc Brown is shouting and there's subtitles saying PUT IT OOOOUTT!!
and then the ship explodes.
Can't find it anywhere.

Anything that director touches is shit.
Abrams has/had control over two of the biggest sci-fi IPs ever, and he ruined both.
Why one person was allowed to do that is beyond me. Life doesn't make any sense any more.
Beyond's story wasn't up to par but goddamn it was visually sexy

not to mention this trillion-polygon snowglobe in space

Abrams didn't direct "Beyond" though

Well, the story was.. shall we say "simple". It was a "can't really go wrong"-sort of script and that's fine with me. the movie had its weaknesses – another comic book-style villain for one – no doubt about that either. And yet it managed to right the wrongs of its predecessors in more than one regard.
First and foremost it finally got the characters right! Spock's not trying to beat someone to death and the one scene in which he gets emotional (AGAIN) is handled in a way not unlike it would've been handled in TOS, Kirk finally stops acting like a frat boy, Scotty is a tad more subdued etc.
Secondly, the film, as you've pointed out, looks neat. Also from a "purist's" point of view it looked quite a bit more Trek-like than the two previous movies; for example the Enterprise's bridge, for as little as it was in the movie, finally looked less like an Apple store but somewhat more functional and subdued. And the Franklin's interior looked pretty much as a ship of the post-ENT/pre-TOS era should look like.
Well and then there was also Jaylah – a new character done right if you aske me. Neither Kirk's "love interest of the week", nortoo much of "muh stronk womyn" (except for her introductory scene maybe, but it was still pretty much justified. She was basically a survivalist after all.)
