I think respectfully what is being missed here is this.....
The original series was as cheesy as 10 year old true aged french (spit) blue cheese.
Representations of various aliens and monsters that Kirk and company did combat with took cheezy to an extreme.
In that regard I think its hard to criticize the new film much.
Leonard Nimoy seems to be enthralled with it. Therefore the new film MUST be logically correct to the Roddenberry ethic.
