Because McCoy and the rest of the crew didn't know how to open the cryotubes without killing the person inside.

Uhm Yeah, they did, like when they took a cryo capsule to keep kirks corpse fresh. they clearly remove the guy inside and MCcoy says "keep him in an induced coma" and he clarly wasent reffering to kirk. why didnt they take that guys blood?

My guess was that McCoy had already developed some kind of formula with Khan's blood. That creature (forgive me for forgetting the name) that McCoy has on his desk and tests the regenerative capabilities on doesn't seem to regenerate until later in the movie, which leads me to assume that it was not a refined version of the formula. Something like that anyway.

Well, nice try, but I am going to have to call plot hole on this
Still liked the movie, go see it y'all.

I can't remember talk of an induced coma and just assumed it was a cryotube kept on the ship for medical or scientific reasons. If so, it's a plot regardless of which ever way you look at it as we're still left with the question of how McCoy opened the tub in the first place without killing the inhabitant since he stated he had no idea on the workings of the tech.

Nonetheless, I enjoyed the film a hell of a lot.

Haven't seen this yet (for the obvious reason of living in America), but (without spoilers) is Cumberbatch every bit as awesome as the trailers make him out to be?

[Xenomorphine]

I have a big question 

*MAJOR SPOILERS*

Spoiler

WHy couldn't they use any blood from the 72cryo people? it had to be khans?

[close]

Spoiler

Thought that's precisely what they were going to do, actually. Seemed like the most obvious course of action. Puzzled me. Maybe there was a deleted scene which would have explained it?

He's pretty much like that in every scene he appears, yeah.

Sometimes a little bit too much... Made me have a mental image of things like him going to the shops and saying, "GIVE ME THE LOCATION TO YOUR FINEST SELECTION OF GROCERIES. "

[bobby brown]

hahaha yeah! I liked him a lot. he is a very fierce and cunning character.
But there are moments when cumberbatch's is just in to high gear
with very exaggerated facial expressions and stuff.
But he gets some great moments in the film.

Well he's an intense motherf**ker, so that's just porn to my ears.

Okay, I just stepped into this thread recently. So please excuse me if this question's been brought up already;

Spoiler

Now I'm not a big Star Trek fan. I've watched a few of the old movies and a few of the TV shows, but all that was over a decade ago. Also mind you, I've read very little about ID to avoid spoilers. So here's my question; does anybody feel that the name Khan was slapped onto villain's name for no reason (besides maybe marketing purposes)? Now again, it's been a while since I watched the old movies, but the new Khan here seems to have hardly any resemblance to the older incarnation, besides being a baddie of course.

Maybe I'm missing something, but could something fill me in without spoiling too much please?

Done. I didn't know this was a surprise though. I thought they revealed the name already.

People who dont want to be spoiled ought to stay out of this thread.
