The film itself was a great ride. The only thing that slightly annoyed me was Benedict playing Khan. Yeh, i know it's an alternate timeline and all that, but Khan and his cohorts were created BEFORE the timeline went off in the new direction. So why has he suddenly changed race? Wasn't Khan supposed to have been Indian? Not a British white guy? But apart from that Benedict played a good villain, even if he wasn't the main one.

I had the same thought, but it didn't bug me at all. Ricardo Montalban was Mexican, after all (with a clear Mexican accent, especially in Space Seed). :D Of course, I'm slowly working through the thread and this point may have already been made, but I just had to laugh about this weird inconsistency. But it truly never bothered me.
