Well, I'm a
Star Trek fan from the
Next Generation era and I love the reboot. I love the original series too, but I only followed that series several years after TNG ended.
But, I can understand why. By having Vulcan
[Show spoiler]destroyed
and altering some significant backstory elements of some characters, the film fundamentally wipes out the existence of everything
Star Trek that has come before. In one regard it is a complete disrespect to Gene Roddenberry (the creator) and everyone who worked so hard on all
Star Trek projects. In another regard it is an extreme homage to what
Star Trek did best. So, the combination is quite volatile since those who recognize both of these aspects desperately want to defend the old material while being extra emotional about the fact that it was handled in such a wonderful
Star Trek manner.
Just my $0.02 though. "You don't have to take my word for it."
