Movie producers aren't supposed to be morons --> The high budget either means it's a half-decent script, or else.... well... or else it means the movie producers morons.

Do you think they should play "Taps" or "Amazing Grace" at a funeral for the Star Trek movie series?
It doesn't matter how "decent" one thinks this script is,
Star Trek has always had
limited appeal.
The previous movies had established casts with lesser budgets and they did what they did at the box office (some profits were seen). This one is re-casting established roles and the budget is beyond anything any "Star Trek" movie (even if they weren't re-casting established roles) would be likely to be able to recoup at the box office.
