I consider this a reboot, not of the Star Trek series as a whole franchise, but of the Original Series. Same campy feel, humour, and rolicking fun.
They've changed everything down to blowing up vulcan, Spock getting down with Uhura, and Kirk as a punk. But they left Pike in the wheelchair, Kirk sleeping with Orion Slave Girls, and nasty bad guys out for revenge.
Very, very good move. And it's great to put the downright geriatric next-gen cast to bed.
