Are the Abrams movies even Star Trek? Feels nothing like ST.

Glad others agree.
Abrams Trek is like watching a football game; Roddenberry Trek was like watching a chess match. Both can be entertaining, but they are certainly very different things.

I was too young for Voyager or even Enterprise. I was introduced to the Trek through JJ Abrams movies. Later when I watched Enterprise, Voyager and the Jean-luc movies, I did realize why people criticize JJ movies. However, they still do a good job of introducing new people to the Star Trek Universe. Considering the revival of Star Wars, I do feel Star Trek could use some new fans.

They are action movies. Star trek was never about action.

This has always been Star Trek's dichotomy. Many ships called Enterprise have been blown up (in a permanent, non-time travel magic way), and it happened in the movies.
The movies are action. The series are where the characters and universe are built.

Just messing up a ship doesn't make it action. For a canonical example, see the Titanic.

Star Trek movies are like if the Titanic had to fight off the combined fleets of all WW1 and WW2 powers.
There's a reason the ships get blown up.
