That above comment is a load of crap, As i stated before Their “creative liecence to screw over Star Trek and do way with canon and continunity”. How dare they change Star Trek to such a degree that is is almost no longer Star Trek.

[...] The film’s co-writer, Roberto Orci, acknowledged depicting the Enterprise being built on Earth (which we see). He believed that this would cause debates among fans regarding canon [uhh..yeah!]. Explaining that the concept came from their own creative licence and the precedent set in Star Trek novels, he said that the idea that some things have to be constructed in space is normally associated with “flimsy” objects which have to be delicately assembled and would not normally be required to enter a gravity well. He said that this did not apply to the Enterprise because of the artificial gravity employed on the ship and its requirement for sustaining warp speed, and therefore the calibration of the ship’s machinery would be best done in the exact gravity well which is to be simulated.

“And the final thing, in order to properly balance warp nacelles, they must be created in a gravity well.”

TrekMovie.com: Where did that come from?

Roberto Orci: That comes from our creative license. No one can tell me that it is not possible that in order to create properly balanced warp nacelles they have to be constructed in a gravity well.

“DONT TALK CRAP” you are using this”creative liecence to screw over Star Trek and do way with canon and continunity. So all the starships that have been constructed in space in Star Trek have un-balanced warp nacelles yeah………….OK…………………Idiot. I am telling you are wrong ME.
Whatever any one else says about leting go about talking about the ship being built on earth well i wont It is wrong and simply wont work, For obvious reasons. which i wont go into beacuse at time of typing this i am already have to explain and repeat myself elsewhere on the net.

Im quite glad there is a fresh take being taken on Trek. Surely most reasonable people realise that it would be a mistake to just recreate 60s sets and ships when technology in present day society is far more advanced then the bridge of the original Enterprise. The last two movies showed that the franchise was starting to stagnate and lose its way. Hopefully this new film will re-vigourise the franchise. I just hope they dont go down the star wars route though (the new ones that is) and over do the CGI – ILM created some fantastically detailed models for the first six films and somehow they do make the ships look far more realistic and authentic then anything CGI can do – I hope they take that on board.

Several things. 1. Shatner is too old to be in this movie. He’s overweight, he’s botoxed. I’d rather remember him the way he was in the original series. 2. Voyager seemed to have no trouble at all taking off and landing on planet’s surfaces. Just why couldn’t the Enterprise? 3. Techobabble. If there was anything that drove regular people away from the later TV series, it was that nonsense. Drop it. Also, don’t worry about having that silly Star Fleet symbol stamped on every visible piece of hardware. Use it sparingly.

“And if my iPhone could communicate with a starship travelling at warp half a solar system away without the use of a repeater inbetween, then I’d let it be a little bulkier and have a gold sieve on top too…”

Exactly. The killer bees shoved the ‘kirk’s communicator can do less than my phone” crap down our mouths so often that frankly I’m disappointed with Orci.

BRING BACK KIRK AND SHATNER

At the end of the movie – don’t even bother explaining HOW – but just show Kirk (Shatner) and Spock (Nimoy) together in the 24th century traveling together with the stars zipping past – and Kirk says something like, “Thanks for coming back me.” And Spock says, “You have cheated death once again.” And Kirk says, “Maybe I cheated Spock. But this time … I had your help.” ZOOM OUT. ROLL CREDITS.

JJ said that he couldn’t come up with an explanation that didn’t seem ALL FANBOY. Don’t explain it. Let the novels and fan films do that. We all understand the dynamic nature of the Star Trek Universe – leave it to our imaginations. Just BRING BACK KIRK.

If you do – you’ll have me in the seat for multiple showings and I’ll buy the DVD. There are many like me.

I’m just hoping they haven’t altered Matt Jeffries’ design of the old lady just for the sake of a new look.

Like Post 2 points out above, most of America aren’t Trek fans. That means Paramount’s coin will be coming largely from fans’ coffers, and after the ratings dud that was Enterprise (despite Manny Coto’s Herculean 4th season rescue effort) Paramount should know better than to try to sell us a Mustang and deliver a Pinto.

I had one of those models. Theres no way you can assemble the damn thing on earth without the nacelles drooping to the ground. what a bunch o crap.

Hey, for all we know maybe part of the ship is built on Earth while the rest of it is constructed in space. Look at the International Space station.
The modules are built here and then transported and assembled in orbit by the shuttle crews. Is it hard to believe that it can’t be done in the 22nd/23rd centuries? Anyway, ” damn it Jim” I hope they stop delaying the release date! May the ST franchise live long and prosper.
