I suppose it comes down to an analog of the Roger Rabbit dictum, "As long as it was funny."
In other words, if the last season of
Roseanne had been as good as the first 5 seasons instead of being craptacular, it wouldn't have mattered to me that the entire season was just a dream.
So slightly tortured exposition to explain why they won't be copying your father's Star Trek to a T. for Tiberius, building starships on gravity-bound planetary surfaces, engineering sections that look like 20th-Century power plants, and radically stupid alterations of basic scientific and plausible concepts don't matter ... since the movie was enjoyably fantastic.
Again, in my humble opinion (
and that of 91% of critics and 97% of filmgoers)
