And that's my problem with this movie. Nero knows exactly which star is going to go supernova and destroy Romulus. And he has that ability to create black holes. And he's ~130 years before the star goes supernova.

Why not go to that star; which is currently a red giant, and create the black hole a couple of AUs away from that star. If you get rid of the star that will eventually go supernova, you prevent Romulus from being destroyed.

I do like some parts of the creation of this alternate universe; it allows you to overcome continuity errors that creep up (things like Zephram Cochrane no longer being from Alpha Centuri; but Montana instead.)
