Apparently they...
(*Spoiler Ahead*)
Capture and imprison Nero after he travels back to the 2230s, meaning we get to see "smooth-head era" Klingons in a pre-TOS timeframe. The question will be...how many will have smooth heads and how many will sport ridges?

Klingons always make a movie better.
But then, I'm speaking primarily as a DS9 fan. So there you go.

Especially when their ships get blown to pieces!

YAAYYY I like pwetty esplosions!
I don't know, they may still be ''ridgeless'' And the hellmets they have on cover that fact up!? I mean a Klingon's head is TOUGH enough as ''is'' I dont see why they would need to have masks in the first place?
Here they are, with their ridiculous S&M masks that could've come out of a TNG episode.
And the masks hint that we'll be getting at least SOME ridged warriors in this movie even if the timeframe in which Nero is captured and imprisoned happens during the pre-TOS "smoothie era."

Well, only if they take a couple of Cardassian ships with 'em and go out in a blaze of glory. You know...die in glorious battle and all that.
But hey...thanks to Martok, I'll always have a place in my heart for the Klingons. Maybe I should have phrased it differently: Martok always makes a movie (or episode, or show, for that matter) better.

I keep getting told that the smooth canon will be respected in this timeframe and we'll see the results of the Levodian flu virus mutation/Augment DNA from the Archer era carry over into this movie...but then I see costumes like this and it makes me wonder how many Klingons will be the ones most people WANT to see(ridged, more alien and badass). Abrams appears to be making this movie to appeal to the most people possible, after all.

That I do agree with! If only they made a DS9 movie, oh well.

There's always hope of fan films with Nana Visitor, Cirroc Lofton and/or others participating...or straight-to-DVD or Internet projects.

Hmmm....
"Any suggestions, Admiral?"
"Prayer, Mr. Saavik; Klingons don't take prisoners."
I guess they kept him so they can coax the secrets of his ship out of him?
Perception and reality aren't always one, nor should we assume when a character speaks they are delivering an objective truth rather then an opinion.
We've seen Klingon's take prisoners/hostages before to reach an end Star Trek III.

Besides, wasn't an early draft of TWOK supposed to have Romulans in the Kobayashi Maru simulation test? That's why "the Neutral Zone" is in the final edit of the movie and we had to have an all-new "Klingon Neutral Zone" invented to explain it. The script changed to allow for cheaper TMP stock footage of Klingon ships to be reused instead of expensive, all-new optics of a Romulan ship or squadron of ships.
Oh and I like the helmets just the fact a soldier/warrior class is wearing protective gear is different - sure Klingon's want to die a glorious death, but even the Samurai they were later remodeled upon wore armor and helmets.

They might have had no choice as the Feds has had to keep the Klingon Empire afloat for so long over the decades that they may have forced them to join. Either that or the Warrior caste was overthrown...
If the Dominion War would not change that perception I don't know what would. I like to think those preconceptions died with Gowron mostly.
