The Movie in general was good. However the astounding amount of inconsistencies is irratating and should not have ever been an issue.

…but Spock said Vulcan has no moon in “the man trap.” Uhura should have made out with him right there.

@ 370. Blowback – May 10, 2009
“Hey, did anyone notice that the actor who was the head of the Vulcan Science Academy also played the warden of Rura Pente in ST: TUC?”

Yea I noticed that right away lol, he also played the character Qatai in the Voyager episode “Bliss” where he was hunting down that bioplasmic organism “telepathic pitcher plant” which was manipulating everyones perceptions. You can always pick out the actors who have been in other star trek movies or episodes, even when they change their voice and appearance, its the voice that ALWAYS gives it away.

@373. 750 Mang – May 10, 2009, lol yes…Ira Graves.

@359. Hat Rick …..oh god that is so easy, the Romulans have way longer lifespan than humans, after all they are a Vulcan offshoot, so 20, 30, 40 years..its nothing to them, nor will they age.

418 – If you read the countdown comics, Romulus was indeed destroyed.

Boborci: I have two questions, if you don’t mind (but first of all, thanks for this wonderful movie. I saw it twice already and plan to go again. I am sure that I will be entertained for the next couple of years at least, while I wait for the sequel)
Ok, for the questions:
1) I read somewhere in this website that Marc Okrand is listed in the movie credits as a Vulcan and Romulan consultant. However not a single line in alien language is heard in the movie(or did I miss somthing?). IMHO that’s too bad because I always thought that the use of alien languages in ST movies increased realism (though I understand that some dramatic moments are better left in English). Anyway, what happened? Were the alien lines recorded but never used (I understand that most ST movies inserted them during post-production). And in case they were recorded, any chance of adding them to the movies when it is finally released on Bluray?
2) I read that a sequence showing Nero escaping from a Klingon prison was cut from the movie. That changes the open question “what was Nero doing during his 20 years wait for Spock” to “how did the Klingons manage to capture him (considering that the Narada seems indestructible)”. So, in the original script, were we going to see how (or why) the Klingons ended capturing him or was that left open?
Thanks a lot for your time. :)

Does Trek still have legs to break 100million or even the elusive 200 mil that no Trek has done before…..
I guess I over estimated in my mind what the weekend numbers would be…I was really hoping for 100 million +…I really didn’t figure Wolverine in the quotient, which did take a hunk out the weekend numbers…
I sound like a spoiled brat complaining about nothing, but I have seen it 3 times now, and I guess I am taking it personally now…
Enough ranting now…the movie was exceptional..be it any of the mistakes, or plot flaws, or poor set designs (engineering)…I was very entertained, and will see it again…and that is the true measure of any great film..

OK, I still don’t understand this Delta Vega thing.

It’s pretty much clear that Nero dropped Spock on Vulcan’s sister planet – the very same one we see in TMP and TAS:Yesteryear. That’s a cool idea and I’m okay with that. However, how can it be called Delta Vega?

Vulcan is in Eridanus constellation, namely in the system of 40 Eridani. Vega is a star in Lyra constellation. How can Delta *Vega* (which would be a fourth planet of Vega system, judging from the name) be in the system of 40 Eridani?

Thank you for making Star Trek cool again. The same friends that last year were telling me to shut up everytime I brought star trek up are now asking me about Kirk’s backstory LOL.
