Spoiler (highlight to read): the most obvious paradox is the destruction of the planet Vulcan whose scientists help create future Spock's ship and presumably the means to stop the supernova. So now the supernova is going to happen but no Spock in funky twirling ship to fail at imploding the supernova thus incurring the wrath of the indestructible super dreadnought mining ship. thus no black hole event horizon to send back mining ship to kill Kirk's father yadayadayada.
Time travel/ alternate reality stories always fuck up a series/movie. I think of these stories as 'jumping the shark' <---google it.
Last I checked time travel does not work that way in Star Trek. The past can be changed by a future that doesn't exist anymore.
I think it was in Voyager that they ran into a star fleet ship from 2700 or something, and found out all the impossible stuff they could do.
Anyway I liked the movie, it was entertaining, looked good, and the characters were nice too.
