Trivia:
Of the now 11 films, this is the most expensive "Star Trek" film by far, at an estimated $150,000,000. Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) had a budget of $46,000,000 and Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) had a budget of $60,000,000. more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Stars take centuries to go supernova; it is unlikely that the residents of the planet would not take the time to prepare or evacuate. However, in the prequel comic book (written in part by the screenwriters based on their script) it's explained that the leaders of Romulus do not believe that the supernova will reach Romulus. Additionally, Ambassador Spock says the star is "a supernova unlike any the galaxy has ever seen", referring the speed of its expansion. more

Author: OneliaH from Australia

I was one of the few lucky fans who attended the Sydney premiere and my impression was "Wow!" The use of a well known Roddenberry plot device to reset the franchise was a brilliant idea and means the franchise can now move forward without the "FANS" shouting "canon!" The movie itself was brilliantly cast and performed with each actor being enough like the original to be believable in the role without the over the top acting that was part of TV when it all began in the 1960's.The special effects are top notch.

Its a film which you can take anyone who enjoys sci-fi to, not just someone who knows the last 40+ years of Trek.

So what level of fan am I? I own 3 costumes, attend conventions and appear in "Trekkies 2", and yet loved Enterprise because from the first episode I simply said its was in an alternate universe, its the same but different. I view this film in the same light, same but different.
