The lens flares were incredibly distracting

Totally agree!
They seemed a little off by the way it looked for the reasons you mentioned.
I didn't mind lens flare in some of the Die Hard movies because it felt natural (there was lightbulb visible) and it popped up rarely. This movie and Star Trek just use them too much and post converted flares is just pointless IMO. -

That was exactly the problem. There were even lens flares on both emotional crying scenes from Alice. Those were scenes where the attention should be on the actor's performance and where lens flares are only distracting.

"Same, and honestly I didn't even notice them in Super 8. When it's just a part of the shot, it's just whatever. "
Yep. Me neither. Don't know what you people's problems are I guess some just like to complain about something. -

Alright I just watched this. And I also watched the first Star Trek movie from JJ. Honestly, yes, at first I notice them. But they're not distracting to me at all. In fact, I completely forgot about them for the rest of the movie. Same thing when I watched Star Trek. I only noticed them a couple times during the movie, for like a minute, then I forgot about them. Hmm, I must be one of the very few who's not bothered by them.

The worst lens flare was the one that appeared, improbably, when they first entered the underground cave. IT'S AN UNDERGROUND CAVE WITH NO LIGHT! A camera in the real world wouldn't produce a lens flare in this situation, so it came across as super fake.
