The thing that pissed me off the most about that movie was his mention of his wife leaving him nothing but his bones. Jim calls him Bones afterwards.
Sawbones was the slang term for the doctor. The ship’s doctor just got called the sawbones, or Bones for short. Huge character opportunity missed there. Amongst all the other problems that movie had.
That’s the writers fault.
There are scripts from TOS and TNG that won Emmies. They’re considered literature. None of the Abrams ST screenplays will ever be considered art. Or good.

Exactly my point. Karl Urban did well with what he was given
