The reason I thought she was a mixed-blood person was that she didn't cause the usual riot that Orion females do. She's attractive, but somehow she is able to corral her effect on men.
New observations after home viewing...

Has anyone wondered why Spock's mother would have been in the Katric Ark (however it is spelled).....It suddenly dawned on me that she is human, not Vulcan, so why would she be in there with the other "Preservers of the essence of the culture" ....
As Sarek's wife, she may be duty bound to accompany her husband.
Earlier there is the scene where Amanda walks out on to the balcony/veranda and sees the drill. Presumably she then went in search of her husband and that is why she was in the Ark.
^ Both good ideas. Thanks!! It was bugging me and both are very acceptable. I can now stop obessing over that one! 
*whew*
*whew*
If it wasn't for the deleted scenes I wouldn't have noticed that Nero is missing half an ear, I missed that in the theaters.
According to one of the deleted scenes he came and got her (on a hover motorbike type thing)
Sarek loves Amanda.Maybe the other elders' spouses were probably already with them.
He just loves hot, emotionaly illogical, human tail. Because in the "Prime Universe" after Amanda dies he goes and marries another human female! (Perrin)
I think it's clear that the intent is for the new universe to be a different, but very similar one. Similar enough that we have emotional connection to it; different enough that anything can happen and we don't feel that the story is a foregone conclusion.
So no, Nimoy-Spock is not in his timeline and he isn't going to live to see his own future, even if he lived for a century more. He's really in a separate reality with a distinct timeline that could diverge even more from the one he knew.
The timeline/parallel reality schitck serves the needs of making a good story. When you look at it from the writers' point of view and don't worry so much about internal logic or any kind of logic, it makes a lot more sense.

Yes, thanks...i finally got to watch all the deleted scenes and other extras today. After watching that scene, i finally understood why she was there.

Guy (or gal) I bought mine at Future Shop, and I got the tin box version for $26.99 CDN (Canadian)! If you're in the States, go to FYE and get it there!

Were that true, there'd be no reason to marry them.Sarek loves Amanda.

Ok, I've watched the movie 3 times now sense buying the DVD on Tuesday -once with the Riff Trax- and will likely watch it again soon with the commentaries, and I can just say I really do like this movie. For all of its faults, for all of the beatings canon takes and senseless changes for the sake of "kewl" it's really a pretty darn good movie and gives something the franchise, the movies in paticular, have needed since probably First Contact, but aside from FC the movies have needed this sense TWK.
Just a sense of grit, scale, and theatrical...-ness.
The first five minutes of this movie -up to the title card- alone are more of an emotional punch that franchise has had in movies in a long damn time -again, probably since the deep, romantic -in the classical sense- themes in FC.
Yes, I wish that they hadn't changed the look of the ship's exteriror so much and hadn't filmed the interiors in a damn brewery, but overall the end product is pretty damn good.
After watching the special features I also have a lot of respect for JJ as a director wanting to do much of the stuff "in camera" the stuff with filming the skydivers on mirrors (to reflect the sky) was brilliant. While directors who're over-ambitous and complicated (*cough*George Lucas*cough*) would be doing crazy things with green-screens, in doors, and with wires JJ says, "Hey, take the actor outside, film him on a mirror reflecting the sky."
Awesome.
This movie is still awesome, excelent, A movie for me and I really await the sequel.
I love what the actors brought to the characters, Urban is simply awesome as McCoy, Yeltchin(?) is maybe over doing Chekov a bit, but good and Pine's Kirk is great (and he was wise not to emulate Kirks overacting hammy emoting). I wish Quinto had put a little more "gruff" and "rasp" in Spock's voice, but he does great too. The rest of cast is awesome as well.
Trek will live on with these guys.

Why do I feel like I'm the only Trek fan on Earth who has no fraking idea what a brewery looks like?
Seriously, it looked more or less like a real engine room to me: lots of complicated machinery that does I-don't-know-what and elaborate plumbing that goes I-don't-know-where. Exactly what an engine room should probably look like.

Me too, actually! Pleased to meet you

I don't know what a brewery looks like, never been in one. But BTS info says they filmed the engineering interiors in a brewery, so...
Nevertheless, it doesn't look like a starship interior. With large, cavernous, spaces, huge tanks, metal catwalks and steep steps, exposed girderwork and language labs located between huge vats with pipe fittings on them. Sorry, doesn't look like the inside of a starship at all to me.
I'm one of those that had no idea what a brewery looks like and thought it worked just fine as engineering. It was a helluva lot better than the sets used in TOS, so it was fine by me.
On a completely different note, i got to watch all the extras today except for watching the movie with the running commentary. And now i have to agree that the movie worked better without deleted scenes -- except for maybe the one with the Kirk brothers. I still don't get why they renamed the brother though. It would have worked better had they kept him as George/Sam...rather than "Johnny".
