This is a good move for Paramount.
I think Abrams is great... he seems to have a lot of talent.
That being said, I don't think Star Trek needs "saving". If they make another good TV show, the people will watch it. If they make another good movie, people will watch it.
As an aside... the story going around the Star Trek world is that this new movie will revisit Kirk and Spock (who will both be re-cast) just after they graduate from Starfleet Academy. Another rumor is that Abrams wants to get Matt Damon to play Kirk.
