Nero's angry at Spock because he failed to stop the disaster which both killed his pregnant wife and destroyed Romulus (which was the purpose of the Red Matter in Spocks's ship). Both Nero and Spock got pulled into the anomaly by accident; neither intended to go back in time.

That looks exactly like the Klingons from the deleted scenes from the 2009 movie. I wouldn't put TOO much stock in that.

Pretty cool (and FAN-MADE) trailer. Calling it "Star Trek 2" in the end credits is a dead giveaway that it's a fake - but well done.

Well, the midnight IMAX is technically 12:01 AM on the 14th, so you're probably okay.

Who's idea was it to fly the Enterprise under water? drat it, Troi, get out of the bridge! :rant:

Neither the ship coming out of the water, nor the one crashing into water is the Enterprise. Both are shaped all wrong.

I'm not sure a Star Trek show, even a top notch one, could work today.
It was somewhat slowly paced, a lot of things happened offscreen (battles mainly consisted of people at terminals narrating what was going on)

Excuse me.

I read some interesting theory about that hand shot - we know that Bruce Greenwood is back for this one, and he was already Spock's commanding officer last time around... what if he's getting his Delta radiation poisoning behind that glass wall?

...what? John Harrison? That sounds a lot like "Gary Mitchell" except it's not Gary Mitchell. Unless someone else knows who this is my guess is they just changed the name since he was a minor character anyway.

I'm betting it's a marketing pseudonym. Don't want to spoil the plot this early.

Just because (if) she's Carol Marcus, it still doesn't make Cumberbatch Khan. David was already like 25 when Star Trek II rolled around.

Yeah, that 'Harrison' guy was in a handful of different episodes of the original series as a glorified extra. It's a super common name, and I'm betting it's just a coincidence.

Now if only they could have traveled through time and applied that same paint job and lighting to the model in the series. Seriously gorgeous stuff there, its as if they knew they were only getting maybe 7 shots of the ship and wanted them to count.

Check out the Blu-rays, man.

See, I don't get this. Show me one camera setup that Nimoy did on III or IV that beats the amazing dolly shot that moves from everyone on the bridge of the Enterprise agape at the appearance of "God," only to show that no one has seen that the Bird of Prey is moving in to attack (with an excellent little Goldsmith cue to go with it).

If that's the Enterprise taking a beating, it looks like they switched out the deflector dish for a gold one.

Also, I'm digging that TMP-era insignia on Kirk's dress uniform.

I think having Shatner on-screen would have taken everything out of Pine's work on the film.

Nimoy was much more important, I thought. Quinto and Nimoy really got to know each other during production, which I'm sure helped Quinto form his version of Spock.
