So I just saw Star Trek 2, and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. coming out of the theater though, I heard discussion form die hard fans, and it confused me a bit. I should point out now that I am not a long time fan. The only Star Trek movies I've seen are JJ Abrams films, so I apologize if this question would otherwise be obvious to a long time fan of the series, but are the 2 recent films supposed to co-exist with the previous films? I thought these were just supposed to be remakes/reboots, but I heard people talk about these being alternate dimensions or something of the sort.
