Saw Star Trek last night and loved it. But being a geek, I will need to quibble some minor issues...

Is it just me or fors the Romulan mining ship look like a Vorlan ship?
The stone faces ewok was totally unnecessary.
When did Romulans start tattooing their faces?
Where are they mining that they need a ship that heavily armed?
Red matter? If a) you only need a drop to implode a black hole, why would you carry a 5'-6' diameter ball with you on a dangerous mission where you would only need one drop?
The Vulcan ice planet of Hoth is where the Cloverfield monster is from?
Jumping across vast expanses on ledges with no railings is the best way to get around a Romulan ship? Really? Romulans don't have stairs, lifts, or railings?
If Kirk was going to cheat, would he really make it so obvious he was cheating?
Finally, when you are transported tdo you lose or keep your kinetic energy?
