You're in the minority on this one because of a good reason: you're very, very wrong.

NOTHING about that movie was consistent with the principles of Star Trek. NOTHING about the plot made sense. I tried to accept it as an alternate universe, but it just doesn't make sense. NOTHING about the characterizations was consistent with the character development, though the kid playing Spock did his best.

The movie pretty much started to lose me when Kirk (Kirk and Spock famously knew nothing about 20th century automobiles in "A Piece of the Action", reiterated in Star Trek IV:TVH) was driving a Corvette as a child. It lost me the rest of the way in making Scotty a one-note joke by getting stuck in a pipe like Augustus Gloop in Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory.

That movie is terrible (although it does have impressive space combat scenes, one of Eric Bana's worst performances and lens flares).

Everything of value is worth arguing. TOS was of value - that JJ Abrams take on it is completely disposable. But, again, I accept I'm in the minority. Whatever.
