A few more for ya...

-Planet Vulcan seems to be made up of cgi-shots of Vaquez Rocks, the location where original series episodes such as "Arena" were filmed.
-On the drill platform, Kirk uses a wrist-communicator similar to those in Star Trek - The Motion Picture and a couple of times in The Wrath of Kahn.
-Maybe just a coincidence, but Kirk tries a "does not compute" type of line on Spock, similar to a scene in Alien Resurrection with Winona Ryder... who plays Spock's mum in this film! Incidentally, that particular scene in Alien Resurrection also features Ron Pearlman, the Viceroy in Star Trek - Nemesis.

ACTUALLY it's in http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/comics/ ... index.html

So I just saw the film, as a huge Trek fan I have to categorise it as SEISMIC.

I was expecting to hear Majel Barrett as the voice of the computer, did I miss her?

If you missed her, so did I. Who ever it was didn't sound like Majel. It pretty much shat all the Trek history out the window. I was disappointed with that. I still maintain that they are running out of original ideas, which really is piss poor imo. It was still a good film tho. Just not a good Trek film.

I heard she completed it just before she passed, IMDB has her credited too. Maybe she was the computer in Spock's ship?

Spolier!

Chops and I were discussing this subject the other day, and while I agree that the whole Spock / Uhura business seems a little out of keeping with the rest of the film, i DO have a theory as to why it appears in the script.

Back in the 1960s episode "Plato's Stepchildren", there was a very famous scene written for Uhura and Spock... but it was changed so that the scene went to Uhura and Kirk instead! I theorise that the stuff in the new film between Uhura and Spock is an attempt to redress the balance... ;-)

And let us not forget the flirting between Spock and Uhura in the 1960s episodes, "The Man Trap", "Charlie X", and "Who Mourns For Adonais?"
