   I would say it's more of an extension of the franchise, not a remake.   
   After all, this was not adventures of Kirk & Spock we were seeing. This   
   was a new crew in a new time period. TNG didn't wipe out what happened   
   before. It didn't (intentionally) try to change or invalidate what already   
   happened. TNG blazed it's own path.   
      
   This, on the other hand is a reboot/remake/reimagining or whatever they   
   want to call it. I'm sure Kirk and Spock are the most recogniseable names   
   in Trek. A high Q rating does not necessarily lead to "I'd sure pay $9 to   
   see that in a theater". I'd also have to say that the characters are   
   popular in no small part because of the actors who played them, which are   
   now being replaced.   
      
   At any rate, this is crap. I'll probably not be seeing this movie.
