The way I'm looking at it is that it is still the Trek Universe with all the pieces in place, but they are free to use any/all of it to their liking due to the continuum shift. A person could say that they are being lazy with their story telling while another could say that they are pretty smart for taking an established story, revamping it, and looking "original" in that sense? I mean, when we all heard that Khan was the protagonist, most of us thought of the Genesis story, not pre Space Seed. In that regard, it WAS original story telling, imho (but like I said, the Kirk/Spock reversal and the Khan scream were corny. I'll give you the "cheap reversals" point there).
Eh, maybe it's just the way I see it because I want to like the movie, nothing more.
