   In the usual Star Trek (and Stargate) "alternate universe" the characters   
   are still the same age (even if only because it's the same actor). In this   
   garbage movie they've got everyone at the Academy together from Cadet McCoy   
   to Cadet Chekov. It's not really even an "alternate universe", it's simply a   
   case of creating a younger version of "Star Trek" for the teen audience   
   brigade - those who watch Gosip Girl, One Tree Hill, etc.   :-(
