Star Trek Alternate History Movie

wiki said:
After the release of The Motion Picture, executive producer Gene Roddenberry wrote his own sequel. In his plot, the crew of the Enterprise travel back in time to set right a corrupted time line after Klingons use the Guardian of Forever to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy. This was rejected by Paramount executives, who blamed the poor performance and large budget ($46 million) of the first movie on its plodding pace and the constant rewrites Roddenberry demanded. As a consequence, Roddenberry was removed from the production and, according to Shatner, "kicked upstairs" to the ceremonial position of executive consultant.

So let's say alternate history gets a boost... I have a feeling that this movie would be inferior to Khan, which may kill Star Trek. Is it more plausible if the time traveling AH is the first Star Trek movie? Roddenberry blew it with The Motion Picture, and Paramount was rightly pissed.
 
Mmm, while I love time travel and alternate history, (surprise, suprise) I see no likely space battles in this movie. Really, it would hardly be a Trek movie at all, with the Trek cast mostly roaming around 1960s US trying to kill JFK.

Would be popular among us, but mass market?

BTW, Khan is perhaps the best Trek movie. IMO, extremely unlikely any replacement would be better.

No space battles? Enterprise is attempting to stop the Klingons from interfering in history, I'd have thought that we'd see at least one big space battle, and a lot more skirmishes.
