Well, in the movie, they say that time travel created an alternate reality...
I half expected Spock to say : "Logically, we have been rebooted..."
I actually liked the alternate reality plot point - Any other universe it would have felt like a shitty cop-out, but I thought worked - old Spock gave it a bit of credibility and
made it work.
Yeah, the science was shit and I hated the design - especially after BSG where every door guards against decompression and the stuff Bones said at the start about the dangers of space: None of it felt at all shiplike. And an actual window on the bridge? Trek bridge placement is silly at best - but that was asking for trouble!
BUT - I wasn't bored once. Brilliant film with a great cast (including Kirk).
...Won't be buying the DVD though - I don't think it's one worth over-analysing
