I love CGI, and what can be done with it. I mean some the shots in the movie were great, because of the virtual world they created, they can almost make anything possible. I know that it is not perfect, yet, but it is very interesting what you can do with it. I do not feel that it is a "jarring" difference, when done well, just a different view.
For an example of CGI put to good use, see Terminator 2. This is one of the first major examples of CGI, and even though it was made almost 20 years ago, it still holds up perfectly well today. The CGI never overshadowed the characters, stunts, or story, but they were used to enhace all of them.
Why do you feel it is stupid? The one major thing I didn't like about it is that it seemed to have a focus on the popular culture, but I don't think that has a diminishing effect for Star Trek fans, perhaps I am wrong?
