Firstly, whos' to say that the mission in one of the sequels won't be to correct the the existing time line and save Vulcan? Secondly, The Romulan ship and Spock's ship did not go through the Black hole or rift intentionally, it was an accident. Spock entered mere seconds later and came out 25 years later due to the time disruption of the anomoly. And the Nero was waiting for revenge. I think that he chose to do what he could in the reality he was immersed in to save what he could.
Anyway, you are entitled to dislike the movie and look at it as a crapping on Rodenberry's legacy, but the simple fact is he is no longer here to pen new stories and this is what we have now. Had he had the benefit of computer modelling, and 150 million dollar budgets I am sure he would have done better. I went into it thinking there is no way anyone but Shatner can do Kirk or Nimoy Spock or any of the other characters, but with the exception of Uhura, I felt they all captured not only the essence of the original characters, but exceeded all my expectations.
