On the day of James T. Kirk's birth, his father dies on his damaged starship in a last stand against a Romulan mining vessel looking for Ambassador Spock, who in this time, has grown on Vulcan disdained by his neighbors for his half-human heritage. 25 years later, James T. Kirk has grown into a young rebellious troublemaker. Challenged by Captain Christopher Pike to realize his potential in Starfleet, he comes to annoy academy instructors like Commander Spock. Suddenly, there is an emergency on Vulcan and the newly-commissioned USS Enterprise is crewed with promising cadets like Nyota Uhura, Hikaru Sulu, Pavel Chekov and even Kirk himself, thanks to Leonard McCoy's medical trickery. Together, this crew will have an adventure in the final frontier where the old legend is altered forever as a new version of the legend begins.Written by

During the space jump scene, the three parachute divers are seen gravitating to the planet at great speed. With regard to the two giant ships floating steadily nearby, this is illogical as obviously distance towards the planet is still too big for gravity being effective at such extend that it would cause such great speed.

U.S.S. Kelvin, go for Starfleet Base.
Kelvin Crew Member:
Starfleet Base, we've sent you a transmission. Did you receive?
Starfleet Base:
Kelvin, have you double-checked those readings?
Kelvin Crew Member:
Our gravitational sensors are going crazy here. You should see this. It looks like a lightning storm.
Starfleet Base:
What you've sent us doesn't seem possible.

Crazy Credits
After the closing credits, the sound of the Enterprise is heard one more time. See more »
This film is so stupid, so tacky, so cheesy and so non-Star Trek that one has to ask: 'Does JJ Abrams even know what Star Trek is?' or 'Does JJ Abrams have any familiarity with Star Trek?'
What does this guy have on Hollywood bosses that they let him rip and tear films like this?
The cheap effects just compound the problem.
