Now we look at Nero who comes back and changes the timeline in "this" universe (spawning off a new infinity of timelines from the moment of entry out of the black hole, of course). Somewhere in all the infinities of universes one will still be, or got changed to be, or got spawned off to be, the timeline as told by what has come before so all of that canon is still preserved -- just in a universe down the street as it were.

The net effect is that Nero caused the universes to shift so that our camera into Star Trek is now simply filming a different one. They can keep whatever elements of canon they like, while introducing new elements and stories as they care to keep running with it.
i agree that it was beautifly done and has some merit for future productions and the like...

still.. the whole time travel and **** stuff up IS kinda cliche <.< but thats a personal preference

over all.. GREAT movie!
