That's not a spoiler. Bruce Willis is dead in Sixth Sense is a spoiler. Geoffery Rush returns at the end of Pirates 2 is a spoiler. Spock dying in Wrath of Khan is a spoiler.

An action movie ending with a mediocre action scene is not a spoiler.
 






My spoiler-free mini-review: 3 out of 4 stars, a very good movie. As before I felt it was just a tad light-weight compared to what I would have preferred; I continue to not be dazzled by Quinto's Spock but am happy with all other performances (Cumberbatch was maybe just a smidge too hammy at times, but a refreshingly hefty villain); and I felt that the choice of telling this particular story, given the wide vista and endless possibilities the last movie opened up by wiping out the original timeline, was a little bit of a waste of that potential. And I agree that the climax as described by RangerWickett was not a great one - I would have hoped for more outthinking or outmaneuvering of the bad guy (or having the bad guy's fatal flaw undermine himself) than simply out-enduring him.
 

Ok, and am I the only one who was VERY distracted by what looked like a beefy guy in a dress on the bridge during much of the battle action??
