I just love how they still make this movie in a rendition of the far future from a 60s point of view.

- Male crew must've mastered the highest level of self control, hence the female crews can strut around in miniskirts uniform.
- Crew members still loading torpedoes manually into the hatch, devoid of mechanical intervention. Starfleet never knew how to minimise their running cost by keeping as little manpower as possible, by developing more automated technology in their ships.
- most planets contains adequate % of oxygen, hence can humans can walk on them safely

Even in Star Trek: TNG and Voyager, there is no seat belt on the captain's chair or all the chairs on the bridge ...

Nice movie

At the scene where kirk was getting his captaincy, and spock prime was watching from a distance. I was half expecting him to say "you know jim, i never told him i couldn't do that mission alone" And then william shatner appears. ( meaning they did the mission together but spock nvr told young kirk )

Did you see wynona rider!?

Anybody caught the reference to admiral archer ?

To me this is a all star cast.. harold as sulu, aoemer as bones, sylar as spock, theres even that asian guy from prison break appearing for a few seconds..

When Spock and young Kirk met Scotty on the ice planet. Scotty talked about how he did some transporter experiment with Admiral Archer's beagle that didn't go well 

i don't understand this part. how did scotty know that he needs to wait for future spoock and kirk on the ice planet?

huhu..this movie really best..so far the best movie (angel & lemon also) for year 2009

i dun understand with the kelvin design. in wiki its stated that according to Gene D's rule, all star trek ship must have paired warp engines... how come kelvin only has one?

wen enterprise removed the core into da blackhole it created HUGE explosion...bt how come when kelvin rammed into nadara, only small explosion... it still had the core right... should't the core explode?

correction... i think the red matter was inside spocks ship all along.
when kelvin rammed narada, the red matter wasnt there.

25 years later when spock's ship came through the black hole, they captured the ship, spock and the red matter inside it. but the red matter had been inside spocks ship all along.

when young spock rammed the prime spocks ship into narada, the red matter was still inside and thus ignited when it crashed into narada.

wth is the red matter anyway. its just plain preposterous.. so much for sci-fi

still don't understand scotty part. how he ended up in the planet and wait for future spook and kirk to arrive.

oh...okay i see.
so in the end, there are actually two spook living in the present world??? one old spook and one young spook?

thanks for the explanation... i know what it meant to do..
i just meant that its preposterous something of this sort could exist in reality.
something so tiny having huge amounts of power in it..
hell.. if they're so advanced they can utilize it to power cities and worlds...
anyhow,, what i mean is the idea that a single liquid can form a black hole..
would love to hear some theories on it..

hmm interesting take there zenix...
ill just admit u know more than more than me in general science.
please elaborate further if you can on this theory if it does involve fusion/ fission of the sort.

i think what boggles me is that i just dont know the true nature of what the supposed red matter is... which is why its an easy escape for the story or a 'cheat' to move the story forward.

if just throwing ideas around, maybe its similar to the properties of a white star before it goes supernova or turning to a black hole. blah blah blah... i dont think our level of understanding currently can explain it. which is what makes the red matter more interesting, perplexing and for me atleast, preposterous. just coz we dont know what it actually is and how it interacts, etc.

alanyuppie, im well aware of the nuclear weapons man has produced and used. but its just back to the issue what is actually the red matter is.

a tiny drop can create a black hole that can devour a sun (if i remember correctly from the beginning of movie, for what its supposed to be used for). but then the whole vat of it creates the same size black hole when it crashes into narada. is there a limit to its size and how big it can go? why a 2d black hole and not spherical? why didnt create multiple black holes if it reacted independently, assuming it grow bigger with more of it. why not supermassize black holes? blah blah blah on and on...

what is this supposed red matter is that can create this black hole by fusing with nuclear power?

and yeah, science fiction can  tweak or exaggerate theories but i didnt say i never enjoyed the movie.. i enjoyed it a lot.. but its just bugging me a bit about this red matter, what it actually is. how can it hold so much energy, rip apart space and time continuum. blah blah blah...
