They were robotic drones, weren't they? I thought it was just him and a few other enemy-mine-looking weebs left and every other mook was a drone?

I found the main bad guy to be quite boring.
To use a line from the video game Disgaea - He felt more like a mid boss. As in that bad guy who's second in command to someone far greater. I say that as he barely expresses any real emotion, doesn't say very much at all (until the 3/4 mark) and was just meh.
Only bit I liked about him was that his appearance was due to how many life forms he'd absorbed, which over time had warped his appearance.

Agree with iceman. He had long enough to do it!
It was pretty good popcorn fun with some really great throwbacks to the original series.
One problem have is that
these reboots all have the same plot; bad guy, turned bad by some perceived slight years ago, had grown strong with hate over years and years and finally unleashes special powers/tech to initially do a lot of damage before being defeated. And +1 for shitty Star Wars style moralizing.

They also contain MAJOR plot holes if you run them side by side with the original time line. The second movie is more the offender of this one. I get that the 1st movie changed the time line. That's perfectly fine. But it wouldn't have changed events set in motion prior to the 1st one.
So Khan would still have been the same race/nationality (American Indian I believe?), rather than suddenly being British. That bit made zero sense to me.

Does the trailer in (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124009&p=2305041&viewfull=1#post2305041) henke's post accurately portray the sort of film this is? To me it looks like a brainless combination of action and special effects. I am however aware that trailers do that to get peoples' attention, and I'm quite happy with action and special effects, but is there a reasonable story to go with them? Do the characters' actions make sense? In other words, is it any good?

I'm going out on a limb and thinking if it's anything like the first two movies, we'll be lucky if 2 consecutive scenes are coherent with each other, nevermind the whole movie, and definitely nevermind the whole series arc.

It really, really came across to me as a Fast&Furious movie, with a different setting. It gets seriously stupid in a few parts. But overall I enjoyed it; more than the last one, for sure. Although the Enterprise itself is kind of suffering Worf-syndrome at this point. Does it have to get its ass kicked by everything it meets?
