This Trek has an alternate canon history though.  So it does not feature the real earth1 universe Spock, Kirk or bones it like another universe completely.  JJ could have just as easily made it a mirror universe movie instead of a timetravel one to explain away the changes.When i say the real Kirk and company i mean in terms of fiction obviously and not real life, its to draw a distinction between Star Trek Universe A the real Star Trek, and Universe B the JJ tangent.

Well, it seems like they aren't really revealing what the specific time issues involved will be. It might actually be cool. And as for JJ's new take on Kock or Spirk, I'd hope he's a fan and wants to preserve and stress what he likes about those characters. However, we'll see where it goes.

It could be a good movie and will still not be real canon Star Trek.

This I wholeheartedly agree with. Whether good or bad, I'll probably be separating a lot of what will be in this movie from what I've liked in the past (to preserve my like for what I currently like). However, what is "canon" Star Trek? To me, Star Trek is filled with so many goofy contradictions and such that you can't take the "canon" too seriously or your head will explode.
