Actually, Star Trek (2009) is explicitly not the same timeline as Classic Trek. How do we know? George Kirk et al see Romulans on-screen and recognize them as Romulans. In Classic Trek no human had seen a Romulan prior to Balance of Terror.

That said, this is really the point where Trek has said "Look. We gave the Continuity Wonks Enterprise, and it went to some really shitty places in the name of Continuity Wonking. So we're not going to do that anymore. Forget everything about Star Trek, we're taking the basic setup and moving from there and anything you think you know may or may not be true."

And then JJ Abrams made a couple of really good Star Wars movies starring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto.
