| Reply Subj: This was a very helpful review and aided me in deciding to see a movie I would probably otherwise have skipped.

I wouldn't mind one spoiler, though: Is any reason actually given for the reboot? If so what?

Nero, the Romulan villain, is from the future, and holds a grudge against Spock, so he sets out to change the timeline to punish Spock (and, by extension, the Federation). While he meets with mixed success in his goals (he arguably succeeds in punishing Spock, but he fails in punishing the Federation), he SUCCEEDS in CHANGING THE TIMELINE, to the point that THE CHARACTERS THEMSELVES flat-out state, "So, we're basically living in an ALTERNATE TIMELINE, from whatever history would have happened otherwise." Young Kirk even asks old Spock a few details about how his personal history was different.
