Is INTO DARKNESS better than STAR TREK (2009)?. Is INTO DARKNESS better than STAR TREK (2009)?

EW posted an extensive interview with former Star Trek make-up artist Michael Westmore and here are excerpts.
Before you started working on Star Trek, were you a Trekkie?
Marion and I, we’ve been married going on 48 years this year. When Star Trek
came on the air, and she was pregnant with Michael, my oldest son, and
it was Thursday nights, and it had reached that period in pregnancy
where you just don’t want to move. So we stayed home and that was one of
those shows that you tune in just because you like it, and yes, we did.
We watched all the episodes starting back in ’66.
What do you think of the J.J. Abrams reboot?
They’re doing a good job. It’s popular. It’s making money. In the 18
years that I was on it, we always kind of stayed to a directive of Gene
Roddenberry. And it seems like they’re taking steps away from it, almost
like they want to create a new wheel. And Star Trek has so many
dedicated fans and so much background to it, it’s difficult to throw
something at it to try to change something classic. But [Abrams] has his
Vulcans, and eventually he’ll probably come up and have Klingons one of
these days. But I enjoyed the movie. It had a lot of action to it. And
they did really nice casting too where you believed these people. And
he’s got a lot more technology to work with now too. And, I must say, a
lot more money. It makes a big difference. You can afford to have not
one laser shot but 20 laser shots. There’s a lot more movement, a lot
more action going on in his films just because of having larger budges
to work with.
