Anyway, how would this movie appeal to one who doesn't like Star Trek?

Well, appealing to one who doesnt like Star Trek, IDK. But I love both Star Trek and Star Wars.
As for the timeline change, I dont see it as a problem. If I remember correctly from all the different series they had of Star Trek, this is something that fits in. Yes, it does throw a BIG kink in the orginal time line from the original series, but Spock did tell Jim that he had to regain the captainship of the Enterprise. That was the only way Jim could correct the mistakes caused by Nero. I know there are a couple things, what hapened to the Vulcan planet and to Jim's dad, that couldnt be corrected. However, in order to get the time line back on course with what the orginal was, or close to it, Jim had to become captain of the Enterprise.
So a few things will be different now, ie Uhura and Spock instead of Uhura and Jim, but that doesnt change the captain or crew of the Enterprise. And that is the important part of Star Trek. They did keep the little quarks between the characters relationships in the movie. The most obvious is between Jim and Bones. I was rolling when Bones was constantly giving Jim shots!
I do hope they make another movie with the same cast. I think the casting director did an excellent job filling the roles of all the main characters. It really amazed me how much they looked like the original cast members. ie Spock and Bones.
Everything was perfect to me. Action, special fx, acting, directing. And because of those things, I would bet that a person who was not a fan of previous Star Treck would very much enjoy this movie. Personally I never liked Deep Space 9. The point of Star Trek was "to boldly go where no one has gone before," and all they did on that show was sit around on a space station.
Anyway, I do suggest that everyone see it. Enjoy the new Star Trek!
