You know, many of the more devoted TNG/DS9/VOY fans that have been lurking on the ST Boards that I visit, even long after the shows went off air, and long before this new movie came out have their reservations. Therefore, I believe it unfair to blame this on the generation that grew up with the above mentioned shows. These new fans whom have fully embraced this movie are more those, IMHO, who grew up when ENT was messing with the Cannon, all be it in a slightly more improved way every preceding season, and lived in its absence, only to find enjoyment in Firefly/Serenity and the re imagined BSG.
Don't get me wrong they were both enjoyable in their own right, but they didn't have the core philosophy that was developed in...(gotta go continue this later)
