Maybe the movies weren’t the greatest but I actually really enjoy the kelvin timeline. We have so many alternate takes on reality in Trek (mirror universe terran empire timeline, mirror universe coalition timeline, Picard alternate reality confederacy timeline, kelvin timeline) and this is one of the more interesting ones in my opinion.

The others basically explore dystopias, while the kelvin line is still a hopeful and optimistic one, despite the differences in federation doctrine and technological developments.
