The first and most glaring is the black hole logic that is essential to the story line. It makes absolutely no sense. I won't go into to detail but it bugged me. The "red matter." That's it really, I mean what is it and how can a drop form a black hole that engulfs a planet but not engulf the Enterprise and that Romulan mining vessel when the gigantic ball is released? The last thing is the mining vessel, everything about it. The interior design makes no sense and why do that have that slug? Does every Romulan mining crew have them on hand just in case? I could go on and on... There is one good thing though, I thought the casting was pretty good. All that being said they do offer an explanation as to the the many many many continuity errors from the series that being that it's supposed to be an alternate reality which old Spock states when they are in the cave. Which includes Vulcan being destroyed, Romulis? being destroyed, and the Spock and Uhura love interest(which I hated) Oh one thing I forgot to mention is the Spock and Kirk(what was with the Beastie Boys?) as kids segments sucked. Thanks for reading my incoherent ramble.

After all my bitching though there was a part of me that enjoyed it so I give it a 2.5 out of 5. Worth a watch I suppose just for the visuals but don't get your hopes up.

I think they fixed the continuity errors just fine. This is Trek, where impossible things happen every day because they haven't happened yet. And as far as red matter: goes, I suppose if it is contained and not touching anything, then it is cool. Agreed about Spock/Uhura though.
