As Spock witnesses Captain Kirk's supposed death, he is overcome by rage. This is only the second time in the character's screen history where unprovoked emotion has ever overcome his logic. The first time was in the original series episode "Amok Time", when Spock was momentarily overcome with happiness at seeing Kirk was alive. (While Spock HAS displayed emotion at other times, it was due to outside effects causing it.) See more »

When Khan is describing the dreadnought class star ship he say's it's 2 times larger and 3 times faster. (than the Enterprise) That would mean it is capable of warp 27. Warp 13 is the fastest possible "warp speed" mentioned in the history of Star Trek. See more »

If you love the star trek franchise because it consistently delivers thought provoking interesting stories without the brutality and violence that Hollywood seems hooked on, you're going to be as disappointed as I was with this movie.
It looked big, the acting was really good, but JJ Abrams for some unknown reason decided it was necessary to remove the essence of what makes Star Trek different and replace it with some Michael Bay antics. At times it was like watching someone play a video game.
It was a really well made waste of time. No insight into the human condition, no thinking necessary, just eye candy and forgettable events.
And that's a shame, cos there was some great acting going on here. all the cast delivered well especially Cumberbatch and Quinto, some great looking effects, but why bother? When interviewed on the daily show Abrams actually said he wanted to make this movie for all the people who didn't like Star Trek. Isn't that just the stupidest thing you've ever heard?
