Trivia:

The planet Delta Vega that Kirk is marooned on is a homage to the second pilot of the original series: "Star Trek: Where No Man Has Gone Before (#1.3)" (1966). It is the location of the Lithium cracking Station where navigator Lee Kelso was murdered and where Jim Kirk defeats his radiation-mutated friend helmsman Lt. Commander Gary Mitchell and his companion, Dr. Elizabeth Dehner. more

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Zachary Quinto's Spock arches his left eyebrow, whereas Leonard Nimoy's Spock arches his right. more

FAQ

If the movie is set in the past, why does the technology look more advanced than in The Original Series (TOS)?
What explanation does the movie give for the Narada being transported back in time (precisely) when Nero would be able to encounter the younger Spock and Kirk to engage them both in the ensuing events?
Does the film feature Klingons?

"Set your phasers to STUNNING!!!"

It was a terrific atmosphere in a jam-packed cinema … I was SO glad that I saw this at the Empire, Leicester Square, as this is a film that you'll definitely need to see on a BIG screen (preferably with a very LOUD surround sound system!)

This adaptation has "boldly gone" – much further, and better than any previous "prequel" that I've seen …

The action is non-stop … the story line is very strong … the effects are amazing … and of course there is also the "sub-plot" of the prequel factor – that let's you know how the main cast members first met and grew together as a team …

A special mention should go to the Director (J.J. Abrams) for both the way the film moves along – and for the superb casting of Zachary Quinto as Spock, Simon Pegg as Scottie and Eric Bana as Nero was a masterstroke … the rest of the main characters are also strongly cast and are young – suggesting that this team could be together in a series of films that could run and run …

This has certainly breathed new life into this already epic story

This film has cutting edge effects – Story – Music – Action – Aliens … what more could you ask for …?

This was a terrific movie – if you liked any of the Star Trek franchise (T.V or movies) then you'll absolutely love this ! – book your tickets now … !

I think that this is the best of all the Star Trek films …

This film has all the ingredients to take over a planet in a solar system near you …
