Me, I'm still trying to imagine Walter Koenig with curly hair. :) And I'm not completely sure if Chris Pine looks like a younger William Shatner. But I think the rest look pretty close.
But, personally, I think everybody is entitled to their own opinion. Star Trek is big enough for everybody. Some fans hated the new movie because of the changes, I'm sure. To be honest, I didn't know what to make of the film the first time I saw it. I liked it, but it was so radically different than TOS in many ways. It took me seeing it a second time before I could really apperciate it.
Of course, I suspect some new fans will like no other Trek BESIDES the new film. And that's cool too. But I get the feeling most fans DO like the new film while simitaneously liking the series and movies in the "original universe."
I believe Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations applies to Trek and Trek fans too. For those who just like the "original universe," it still "exists"... as much as any other fictional universe exists :). I'm sure they'll continue to make novels, comic books, etc. using that one. And who knows, Paramount might even go back there with a series (although, right now, I doubt it. But how would that really be all that different if this film DIDN'T do that well?)
And for those who like the alternate reality, not only will there be future movies, I have no doubt they'll be future novels, comics, and such too.

but this is a new telling of the tale.....in this version, maybe Spock & Sarek r "closer" as a result of Amandas death

I agree. Ben Cross is a great actor, but I don't think how he portrayed Sarek is how Mark Lenard would have done it. According to "Journey to Babel," Spock and Sarek had not spoken to one another in 18 years because Spock decided to go into Starfleet rather than the Vulcan Science Academy. Yet the film shows no hint that Sarek wasn't anything but a supportive father to Spock when a child, when he was accepted to the Academy, or when he was on the Enterprise.
