I have seen many people on FR praise this movie, but the fact that Uhura and Spock(of all people)are having a love affair at the Academy is beyond ridiculous. He was raised without emotion, engaged to a Vulcan girl at age 6 and was incapable of having an affair until that part of him had been reconciled.

The original series makes Spock's personality disorders perfectly clear and for an affair to blossom with Uhura is just beyond the pale as far as I am concerned. I don't need to see the movie to know I wouldn't like it on that point alone.

Anything that messes with the time line and the character type of the original is not a good movie IMO.

It does not mess with the original time line. The original time line is eviscerated. Everything you have seen for the past 40 years... all the shows, movies, books... GONE. ALL GONE. Poof, like that.
