Yes but at least they explained "why" it was different, even if it wasn't correct or popular.
Um..okay for the record? Will you JJ Trek Nay sayers SPEAK FACTS not fantasy if your going to have a negative opinion about something like this? Saying "it's not popular" is hardly credible, guys, this was the most succesful star trek film, it has been hailed as a great FILM not JUST a trek film, your "popular" poll is like, maybe 0.4% of the population of the world that SAW this film..Trekkies/Trekkers whatever, as a fanbase DO NOT own the rights to be the "census" of wether this is film or its storyline was "popular", because it was an absolute breakaway HIT financially and critically across the world. When the DVD comes out, expect record sales. The voices and opinions of "people" not just us "Trekkers" Cry with a ROAR over the "meow" of the Trekker community, I'm sorry for ranting but i think the words "GET OVER IT!" have never applied so powerfully.
