I agree about the love triangle, but I'm not sure whether this will be the last Star Trek movie. I don't know enough about Romulans to explain the design of their space ship. :-( I have no idea why the time stamp doesn’t work, probably some time-travel paradox!

We have seen this so often before (strange, deranged loner vilain, that is dispached by loner hero acting in selfless but surprisingly elegant manner), that it really pales next to some very inventive storylines in some of the TV shows. The love triangle Spock / Uhura / Kirk seemed an unlikely idea pasted on to have at least some female character in the story. What also quite annoyed me is the fact that this future, incredibly advanced spaceship the vilain travels around in, is an incredibly dark and confusing environment, where it is very easy to jump and fall several meters. I think even Romulans would go for more user-friendly design. My favorite moment of the whole movie (I laughed out loud) is when one of the characters *unfolds* his long sword, that he obviously had been carrying around in a small pouch. Here's creative thinking about the future! My impression is that this is probably the last movie in the series we are likely to see.
