The one where... we go back to the beginning... with Lens Flare — Lots. And Lots. Of Lens Flare.Star Trek is the eleventh movie in the Star Trek film series, released in 2009.The Film of the Series and partial Continuity Reboot from Lost creator J. J. Abrams, featuring the characters from Star Trek: The Original Series played by a new cast, and set in an Alternate Timeline during the time period of The Original Series. Alternatively called J.J. Abrams' Star Trek, Star Trek 2009/'09, Star Trek: The Future Begins (even though that "subtitle" is actually the tagline), and Star Trek XI/11 to keep confusion in check with the other Trek films.In 2233, The Federation starship Kelvin comes across a "black hole"-like spatial phenomenon near a distant sun. Emerging from it is a massive ship called the Narada captained by a Romulan named Nero (Eric Bana). Nero kills the Kelvin's captain, and deploying weaponry vastly superior to that of the Federation ship, the Narada forces the Kelvin crew to abandon ship, with many crewmembers lost. While the survivors flee the devastating battle, a young boy is born amongst them: James Tiberius Kirk, son of the first officer of the Kelvin (Chris Hemsworth), who sacrifices himself and the ship to buy time for his crew's escape. This incident ultimately sets a new series of events in motion; one of them being James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) growing up an angry, rebellious young adult until he is recruited by Captain Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood) to join Starfleet.As Kirk makes waves at Starfleet Academy, the Narada and Nero emerge again after years in hiding. The Federation scrambles its fleet to confront the warship, deploying the flagship Enterprise, commanded by Pike, for the first time. All the rest of the fleet is destroyed, with the Enterprise only surviving due to a brief delay in getting to the battlefield. When the Enterprise engages the Narada, Pike is taken hostage. When they learn the Narada is from the distant future and begin to put together the events that lead to that future, it falls on Kirk and Spock (Zachary Quinto) to overcome their initial mistrust of each other and on the ship's green, hastily put-together crew of cadetsnote actually, concerning those with major roles, it's three cadets (one of whom is a lieutenant, and another of whom is already a qualified doctor), an ensign, a lieutenant, a lieutenant commander who was Reassigned to Antarctica, and a commander who was told You Are in Command Now—(the young TOS characters)—to somehow save the day.The film also stars Karl Urban as Leonard McCoy, Zoe Saldaña as Nyota Uhura, Simon Pegg as Montgomery Scott, John Cho as Hikaru Sulu, Anton Yelchin as Pavel Chekov, Ben Cross as Sarek, Winona Ryder as Amanda Grayson and Leonard Nimoy as Spock Prime.The first theatrical Star Trek film to feature any of the original characters in 15 years. Released seven years after 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis (the biggest gap between films to date) from which it takes a major Tone Shift and, believe it or not, to which it is also a loose Stealth Sequel.Star Trek is the first entry in what has been officially dubbed the "Kelvin Timeline" that continues with the 2013 sequel Star Trek Into Darkness and the 2016 sequel Star Trek Beyond.Character tropes go on to the Characters Sheet.

Off-the-Shelf FX: Among the props used on the Enterprise bridge are supermarket price scanners. (The filmmakers are honoring a fine old Trek tradition: In TOS, Dr. McCoy's surgical lasers were actually "Swedish modern" salt-and-pepper shakers that the show's prop guy found on sale at May Company in LA.)

comment
Overranked Soldier: Although most fans agree that if you are James Tiberius Kirk, you belong into the captain's chair, Kirk's promotion from cadet directly to first officer strains the Suspension of Disbelief for many. In order for it to happen, everyone above him in the chain of command has to die or be captured. Everyone in Starfleet. The Enterprise is staffed entirely with cadets. And Spock, who disqualifies himself after beating the crap out of Kirk (which is precipitated by Kirk himself, so make of that what you will).

Darker and Edgier: Unquestionably so. Even during the Voyager years, the Federation and Starfleet were still mostly set up around peaceful missions. In the reboot, Pike describes Starfleet as a "humanitarian and peacekeeping armada," and the rest of the film is spent fighting. Word of God states that this was due to the Kelvin's encounter with the Narada, which caused Starfleet to take on a much more militaristic turn.

The Worf Effect: Nero's awesome (mining) ship wiped out a fleet of 47 Klingon Warbirds, conveniently off-screen, of course. Apparently getting your ass whooped to demonstrate someone else's badassery is genetic. Countdown, the prequel comic, has the trope namer doing what he does best, getting his ass kicked.

All There in the Manual

comment
The Constitution-class of this continuity is bigger than it originally was (partially explained by an In-Universe redesign). Shatner's was around 280 meters long. Pine's was designed to be closer to 360 meters (which was largely a result of a sleeker design and longer nacelles), although it was upscaled in the movie proper, because Abrams wanted an oversized shuttle bay, to be over 700 meters long. For reference, that's around the same length as the Sovereign-class of the TNG movie era! Here◊ is a quick comparison chart, outlining the size descrepencies, and here is the main article.

Alternate Timeline: The explanation behind the franchise's Continuity Reboot. Thanks to time-travel, the alternate universe in the film is now fundamentally changed. Word of God confirms that, because of this, the "prime" timeline encompassing the prior Trek canon still "exists". In 2016, shortly before the release of Star Trek Beyond, the timeline got officially dubbed the "Kelvin Timeline".

Never Trust a Trailer
 Star Trek (2009) / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers seem to have been specifically edited to imply or outright lie about events. For example, Nero's line "Your father... was a great man. But that was another life." is from two lines. One about Kirk's father, and the second half about Kirk himself, from Nero's original timeline. They also imply a romance between Kirk and Uhura. In the actual movie, Kirk does show interest in Uhura, but she doesn't give him the time of day. Or her first name. The trailer also seems to imply that when Kirk assumes the captain's chair (when McCoy says "We have no captain and no first officer to replace him"), it is done in a dramatic fashion. It's actually more Played for Laughs, as McCoy and the crew are astonished that the trouble-making Kirk is now in charge, since they were unaware that Pike promoted him when they left the ship for their task.

Downplayed, but still present. The traditional Kirk-Spock-McCoy dynamic, typically seen as the codifying power trio, is seen in its infancy. Kirk, here a brash hothead, actually ends up playing The McCoy more than the Trope Namer, who is more Kirk-like in response.

Heterosexual Life-Partners: Kirk and Spock. Spock Prime goes to incredibly risky lengths in order to preserve the natural development of the galaxy's greatest bromance. Kirk and McCoy become inseparable friends from the moment they meet, and are united in their dislike of Spock long before he befriends either of them.

Faceless Goons: A deleted scene has the Klingon guards at Rura Penthe wearing face-concealing helmets. Word of God says this was because they weren't sure whether or not to give the Klingons their more popular TNG ridged foreheads, or go with TOS's dark skinned humanoid look. In the end they just decided to cover the front of their heads and not worry about it.

comment
Unnecessarily Large Vessel: The new Enterprise is roughly the size of the Galaxy-class from the original timeline. Much of it consists of extremely cavernous open spaces. Jefferies Tubes have been replaced by catwalks. This partly due to the use of real world locations such as the National Ignition Facility as sets for filming the reboot movies as opposed to a soundstage or green screen CGI background.

Chekhov's Gun: A deleted scene shows Nero about to be interrogated by a Klingon on Rura Penthe using Centaurian slugs, who gloats about what the slugs will do to Nero. Nero escapes before this can happen. He later uses the same slugs to torture Pike. The Klingon transmission that Uhura tells Gaila about, while Kirk is hiding under Gaila's bed, plays a small but vital part in Kirk's attempts to make Pike take him seriously. One that is loaded and fired in a single scene: when Kirk lands on the drilling platform, he presses a button and his parachute is reeled in to his backpack. Shortly afterward, Sulu is left dangling over the side of the platform, held only by his parachute; he presses the corresponding button, and as the parachute is reeled in he is lifted up until he can get onto the platform. An early scene establishes that Spock as a kid is rather touchy about people disparaging his human mother. Later on, as soon as Kirk tries that route in trying to expose that Spock is "emotionally compromised", he flips out and beats the crap out of Kirk just like he did to his school bullies years earlier.

Ironic Echo: When Kirk and McCoy first meet, McCoy tells Kirk, "I might throw up on you," since they're about to fly into space, triggering his phobia. Three years later, McCoy has gotten used to the idea, and stares in wonder at the shiny new Enterprise while Kirk, sick as a dog from the vaccine McCoy gave him, warns him about imminent vomit in turn.

We also have the Vulcan bullies picking on Young Spock. It was clear from their reaction to Spock delivering a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to one of them that none of them considered the possibility of their trying to "elicit an emotional response" in Spock might result in violence.

Mythology Gag
 Star Trek (2009) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: It's subtle, but when Spock stands up during the hearing after the Kobayashi Maru, he performs the Picard Maneuver. When Nero fires his drill at San Francisco Bay, he ends up drilling in the same spot the HMS Bounty crashes in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Nero destroys 47 Klingon ships offscreen: the number 47 was a Running Gag in Star Trek: The Next Generation era of shows. The short-sleeved skirt uniforms worn by female Starfleet personnel are somewhat reminiscent of the skant uniform seen in the early seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation. A giant planet-killing spaceship that drove a man mad when he was Forced to Watch it destroy one, and is in turn vanquished by having a smaller ship laden up with an explosive payload and launched down its gullet by a pilot who beams out at the last moment? Sounds a lot like "The Doomsday Machine". At the end, the dress tunics everyone wears are clearly meant to be the similar ones from 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture. And it's probably no coincidence that Pike winds up in a wheelchair... "The Menagerie", anyone? The novel hints pretty strongly that the timeline is attempting to repair itself; apparently Pike was *destined* to end up in a wheelchair. In the opening scene, Kirk Sr.'s uniform seems to be about halfway between the ones used in Star Trek: Enterprise and the ones in the original series. Someone from the Romulan Empire, who has a ship (with a distinct green tinge) capable of destroying a planet/all life on a planet, with a vendetta against a member of the Enterprise crew? Sounds familiar. Of the seven main characters in The Original Series, Uhura is the only one who never had a canon first name; hence the Running Gag of her refusing to tell it to anyone. ("Nyota" was first recommended by Uhura's actress, Nichelle Nichols, and its arrival on screen is arguably the punch line to a four-decade Brick Joke.)

Kill Sat: The Narada's drill has the look of one, being dropped into a planet's atmosphere in order to fire a beam that bores its way to the planet's core, where pressure can ignite the Red Matter into a planet-destroying singularity. Nero could probably use the drill to annihilate whatever surface target he pleases, but since he's planning to destroy the whole planet anyway, he doesn't bother to aim it.

When Kirk is on the bridge, trying to elicit an emotional response from Spock at Spock Prime's orders, Spock tells him "I will not allow you to lecture me on the merits of emotion", then gets violent when Kirk implies that Spock never loved his mother. This despite the fact that he lectured Kirk about the merits of fear, and brought up Kirk's father in the same speech, barely hours before. Of course, the circumstances were slightly different, but still...

Everyone Went to School Together
 Star Trek (2009) / int_292d1ccd
comment
Everyone Went to School Together: Starfleet Academy in San Francisco. Justified though, as A) everyone in Starfleet has to go there, B) technically, only three of the characters were seen on-screen attending said school, and C) Spock was actually an instructor. Regarding some of the age discrepancies among the students, it's also safe to assume that McCoy is a mature student (since he was already a medical doctor when he started at the academy) and that Chekov has skipped a few years of school (justifying why such a young academy ensign is in such a responsible position would seem to be the point of Pike's "whiz-kid" comment in his first scene). These might both be a result of the alternate time line, of course.

Hurricane of Puns: Michael Giacchino certainly had fun naming the songs in the soundtrack. A few self-explanatory examples: "Nailin' the Kelvin" "Enterprising Young Men" "Nero Death Experience" arguably takes the cake as "Worst Pun". Unless it's "Nice to Meld You". "Nero Sighted". "Nero Fiddles, Narada Burns". Those Nero puns just don't get old, do they? "Labour of Love" as Kirk is being born. "Does It Still McFly" as something to do with time travel happens. Ouch. This is practically Michael Giacchino's calling card. Hella Bar Talk = Bela Bartok (Hungarian composer). "I've Fallen and I Can't Beam Up!"

Bilingual Bonus: When Chekov (played by Russian-born Anton Yelchin) successfully transports falling Kirk and Sulu to safety, he exclaims a little something in Russian, "�-моё!" or "Yo-moyo!", the closest English equivalent being "holey-moley!" (both in meaning and outdatedness). On the commentary track, J. J. Abrams claims to have been at a screening in Russia where the audience went nuts at this part.

Easter Egg
 Star Trek (2009) / int_29a39f6
comment
Easter Egg: In the scene where the Enterprise first appears at Vulcan, after they come out of their slow barrel roll to avoid the debris, you can see R2-D2 in the bottom left corner of the screen. A menu in the bar Kirk and Uhura meet in has the "Slusho" drink from Cloverfield in it. The logo of the makers of the drink appears on a building in an establishing shot of San Francisco. The big red ball Abrams tries to get in most of his projects is the Red Matter. Speaking of Abrams' overall work, the name of the USS Kelvin is this film's use of the "Kelvin" mark he puts in most of his films and TV series. Speaking of Cloverfield, the giant red monster that attacked Kirk when he landed on the snow planet is reminiscent of the Cloverfield monster due to the shared bent-arm walking style and six limbed form. It appears Cloverfield has now unofficially become the earliest point in the Star Trek film timeline. Interesting... When Kirk and Spock first enter the bridge of the Jellyfish, the control chair and viewport◊ form the triangle-and-circle-within-a-circle symbol of IDIC◊, the Vulcan philosophy of "infinite diversity in infinite combinations". This is not surprising considering the ship was built by the Vulcan Science Academy.

Plot Armor: The Enterprise is the beneficiary here when it arrives at Vulcan and gets spared from destruction only by Nero's orders. This is, however, justified by Nero's desire to keep Spock alive to be on the receiving end of Nero's revenge. Later deconstructed and indirectly discussed when the crew realizes that Nero's incursion has created an alternate reality. Basically, whatever their lives and destinies might have been beforehand, they are undoubtedly different now. However, it seems that fate wants them all on the Enterprise regardless ...

Ramming Always Works: In some deleted scenes, the Narada got severely crippled after the Kelvin rammed into it, the ship and its crew were captured by the Klingons. They were taken to Rura Penthe (the prison planet from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) and it took them twenty five years to escape. Needless to say once they got their ship back the Narada's crew proceeded to pay back the Klingons in full. The resulting battle is where the transmission Uhura picked up came from. The Narada gets a round two from the Jellyfish, which this time has the Red Matter to do most of the damage.

comment
Embarrassing Nickname: McCoy is particularly fond of bestowing these upon people when frustrated or angry, especially in regards to Spock, whom he personally nicknames the "pointy-eared bastard" or "green-bloodied hobgoblin," to name a few.

Creepy-Crawly Torture: At one point, Nero force feeds Captain Pike a Centaurian slug (a parasitic alien insect that, after being consumed by a human host, latches onto the brain stem and releases a toxin into the host's nervous system that leaves the host forced to always answer any and all questions asked).

Actor Allusion: As Spock Prime, Leonard Nimoy introduces himself saying "I am Spock", which was the title of his second autobiography (so titled to rebut the notion that invokedI Am Not Spock created that he supposedly hated both Star Trek and the Spock character). Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock, pins down Kirk by the neck, eerily Sylar-like. Zoë Saldana played a Trekkie in The Terminal.

Looking at the movie again, it would appear Nero is one of these as well. Even when his plans get foiled, or his mooks get punked, he never hauls off and declares You Have Failed Me. When Kirk and Sulu damage the drill the first time, all he did was just retract it and order the red matter deployed.note Then again, they did succeed in reaching the core, so they hadn't actually screwed up his plans.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 Star Trek (2009) / int_4781adbb
comment
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Kirk, Captain James T. At first, it's almost as if he wakes up in the morning and thinks of new ways to piss off any and every body he encounters. Wrecks his stepdad's car and stands up to the cop who tried to pull him over. Participates in a bar fight that some cadets start (they punched him first) because he kept hitting on Uhura (who's completely uninterested in him). Reprograms an unwinnable test, which is cheating, to prove that he can win it (by thinking outside the box). Shows no remorse when caught because he doesn't feel he's in the wrong. Indeed, Kirk demonstrates the same wheeling, dealing, and conniving traits of a Magnificent Bastard. The differences are—first, Kirk was never out to hurt anyone just for his own ends. Second, it is made clear he's only acting up because he lacks a challenge worthy of his smarts—once the adventure kicks off, Kirk repeatedly throws himself into danger to save people, despite inevitably ending up getting his ass kicked. Most importantly, he uses his cunning to save the universe. This movie states overtly what the series were more subtle about: Kirk's Jerk tendencies are also the qualities that make him The Captain we all know and love.

Butt-Monkey: Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise. Many of the film's action sequences, and much of its humor, involve him getting owned in one way or another. He also gets stranded on planets and has freaky and potentially embarrassing reactions to vaccines. He gets choked by Spock at one point and by a Romulan at another. Both times with some pretty good acting by Pine. It hurts as you try to catch your breath afterwards. Pine actually mentioned in an interview that he admires Harrison Ford for his ability to take a beating like it really hurts, and that he considers that an underrated skill.

The Hero's Journey: Near-perfect example, in double for both Spock and Kirk, including the Miraculous Birth: James Tiberius Kirk, born on the day of the destruction of the Kelvin, son of the hero George Kirk of the same battle; Spock, born the Half-Human son of the Vulcan Ambassador Sarek. In fact, in the novelization we learn that during Spock's birth, a star was going supernova elsewhere in the galaxy. The novelization actually states that the birth of Spock and the death of an entire inhabited solar system are equal in magnitude according to the universe itself!

 Star Trek (2009) / int_4abf639f
comment
Ignorant of the Call: Due to the timeline incursion and the death of his father, Kirk grows up to be, according to Captain Pike, "the only genius-level repeat offender in the Midwest [U.S.]" Pike spurs Kirk to join Starfleet by succinctly summing up his father's Heroic Sacrifice, and daring Kirk to do better than that.

Red Pill, Blue Pill: "So your daddy dies... you can settle for a less-than-ordinary life. Or do you feel like you're meant for something better? Something special?" Captain Pike offers James T. Kirk the chance to be equal or greater than Kirk's father, even if Jim were half the man of an officer that was Captain of a Starship for twelve minutes.

comment
Zeerust Canon: Subverted. Word of God is that reverse-engineered technology based on the Kelvin's scans of the Narada is why everything appears more advanced than in the Prime Universe. Played with the USS Kelvin. The ship seems to have marginally superior assets and technology to what originally would've been the forthcoming TOS Enterprise had Nero not shown up. However the creators had to keep certain design aspects of it in check since the Kelvin existed over 30 years before the events of Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS) and thus it has some subtle '60s TOS elements, while still keeping it appealing to a 2009 audience.

Hyperspeed Ambush: The Starfleet relief force on its way to Vulcan gets beaten into scrap metal immediately upon exiting warp. The Enterprise only narrowly escapes the same fate because it is Late to the Tragedy. The Enterprise pulls one off during the film's climax, saving Spock by tearing up Nero's Macross Missile Massacre via Beam Spam.

War Comes Home: Features two versions of this. Nero decides to exact retribution against this timeline's version of Vulcan and successfully destroys it with the red matter as a way of getting to Spock and all the other Vulcans. He then decides to attack Earth which makes this trope apply to Kirk and the human characters.

Disproportionate Retribution: Nero decides to wait 25 years for Spock to come through the same black hole that pulled him into the past, makes Spock watch Vulcan get destroyed, and then moves on to systematically destroy the other planets of the Federation. All of this is because Spock turned up mere minutes too late to save Romulus from a super nova. (Countdown's backstory doesn't count as the film's writers have established it as non-canon material.)

Broad Strokes: Time travel does not quite explain all the stylistic differences in this movie, as it is technically in an Alternate Continuity and is not a complete Continuity Reboot. (Warp drive leaving a ship blind, for example.) It's implied that the Narada's attack (the one that killed Kirk's father) initiated a sort of "Cold War" for the Federation, leading to their design philosophies changing.

Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory
 Star Trek (2009) / int_54d6f53f
comment
Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: Ultimately averted. One may think Spock Prime would have new memories of what his younger self just experienced. Then again, he's the Prime Reality version of Spock◊ (hence his nickname), separate from the New Alternate One◊ who exists in a new spacetime continuum branching off the original universe. Despite being a younger incarnation, whatever happens to New Spock would most likely not, in any way, affect Spock Prime whose only affected by the original timestream◊note  Anything in the Star Trek franchise before the 2009 reboot along with Star Trek: Discovery and any subsequent media unless stipulated to be set in the Kelvin Timeline. The same principle applies to anyone and anything that exists past the timeline diverging event on stardate 2233.04 (or January 4, 2233). Star Trek has always had extremely variant versions of what happens due to time travel: the past being altered, the past never altering (because by time traveling you did what you were supposed to do to begin with); the past being altered but not in any real, significant way; or even the creation of alternate continuities (such as in this case, or what happened in the TNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise").

Cosmetically-Advanced Prequel: Subverted yet played with as we see the young TOS crew at the beginning of their Starfleet careers, albeit in a technologically advanced new timeline in which the events of The Original Series could never possibly occur. The opening is set 32 years before TOS; however, the starship Kelvin still looks like a major upgrade to the original Enterprise despite being its forerunner.

 Star Trek (2009) / int_59aa1d0b
comment
Recycled IN SPACE!: While it's based on the '60s TV series, where the show dealt with themes of exploration and asking universal questions, the film more-or-less becomes Top Gun... in space. Kirk is a maverick whose father died in an act of aerial heroism. He has an older, more tightly-wound buddy (McCoy), and a gruff superior officer (Pike) who appears to disapprove of him, but secretly thinks he has a certain untapped potential. There's also an "icy" rival (Spock), though he gets the hot/smart chick (Uhura) instead of our maverick. Spock kicks him off the Enterprise not because of his flying, but because of his attitude, but after he meets Spock's older self, he makes it back to the ship and proves he's the best of the best and by the end, he and Spock can be each others' wingman anytime—or rather, are and always shall be friends.

Flying Cutlery Spaceship: The Narada, of course, arguably one of the biggest and most physically complicated examples. It used to be a simple mining vessel but getting Borg tech upgrades, an insane captain and a little while getting poked around by the Klingons all resulted in it looking like some kind of mix between a Lovecraftian squid and a whole warehouse's worth of knives.

High School AU: Subverted. The only undergrad cadets out of the 7 main characters were Kirk, Uhura and McCoy (who was already a licensed physician before enlisting). By the time of the film's main plot, Spock had long-since graduated, Scotty was a veteran engineer, Sulu was a lieutenant, and Chekov was a commissioned ensign despite being only 17.

Spanner in the Works: Sulu is a mild case early on. He fails to disable the space brakes delaying the Enterprise's jump to warp, which gives Kirk enough time to convince Pike to raise shields before arriving.

Heroic Sacrifice
 Star Trek (2009) / int_6439de78
comment
Heroic Sacrifice: One of the finest and most moving in the entire Star Trek canon. The movie begins with George Kirk staying behind on the U.S.S. Kelvin to save the escaping crew, including his pregnant wife and her child. Kirk becomes a legendary hero for this action, given that in his extremely short time as Captain, he saved 800 lives. This is made all the more poignant considering that, when you look closely, you can actually see missiles from the Narada being intercepted just before they are about to impact on his wife's shuttle. There was, quite simply, no chance of survival without him. Captain Robau as well. "If I'm not back in 15 minutes, evacuate the crew," basically means Robau sacrifices himself to buy time for the evacuation of the Kelvin. He knows he is going to his death. And Pike too, after a fashion. He pulls a Robau, going off to sacrifice himself to Nero (and let's face it, Robau's fate has to be in his head as he does all of this) while the crew mounts a counterattack. Though, it's also subverted a bit when Kirk shows up later to pull Pike off the Narada before it blows. The difference between them is that in the time it takes for him to leave the ship, Pike works out a counterattack plan that ALMOST comes off (and might have, if not for Olson's reckless stupidity. All Robau does is die.

However, it's suggested that Uhura has been "upgraded", so to speak, and they're now a Four-Temperament Ensemble, with McCoy as sanguine, Kirk as choleric, Uhura as melancholic, and Spock as phlegmatic. There's good discussion of this here.

All Asians Know Martial Arts: Subverted. Sulu has "advanced hand-to-hand combat training"... namely fencing. Which is European, not Asian. Considering it's also a Continuity Nod, it makes sense. (This time, he uses a switchblade katana, though, suggesting he might know kendo in addition to traditional fencing.)

Meaningful Name: When your parents name you Nero, they probably have a specific destiny in mind. The USS Kelvin is named after physicist and engineer Lord Kelvin (of whom the unit of temperature gets its namesake) as well as J. J. Abrams' grandfather Harry Kelvin. The registry number (NCC-0514) is also Harry's birthday. Narada was a figure in Hindu mythology who travelled to distant worlds and realms. Rather appropriate for a time-travelling ship.

comment
A Wizard Did It: Word of God says that Future Spock seeing the planet Vulcan in the sky was actually a psychic vision similar to how Spock can sense large numbers of Vulcans dying over long distances in Star Trek: The Original Series. The Novelization and Comic-Book Adaptation say that Kirk's escape pod landed so conveniently near Spock's cave because the timeline was trying to repair itself by bringing Kirk and Spock together. Abrams says that the reason why technology is more advanced in the alternate timeline is because the shuttles evacuating the Kelvin scanned Nero's ship and then studied the futuristic technology. A tie-in comic about Nero says that a stellar cartographer on Rura Pente and Vejur helped him work out where and when Future Spock would emerge from the black hole.

Token Romance: Spock and Uhura. Actually subverted in the sequel too: the romance allows the writers to remind the audience that Spock does in fact have feelings but just chooses to not show them. Roberto Orci said that they serve as a parallel to Spock's parents, which were also an interracial and interspecies couple, and thus it's quite plausible for Spock to fall for a human the way his father did, and it challenges his character in ways his counterpart never was. The romance also subverts the strong independent black woman who doesn't need no man racist trope for Uhura as well as the the hero always gets the girl trope (as Kirk doesn't get the girl that is in fact the already established girlfriend of The Nerdy Friend of the Hero.

comment
The trailer also seems to imply that when Kirk assumes the captain's chair (when McCoy says "We have no captain and no first officer to replace him"), it is done in a dramatic fashion. It's actually more Played for Laughs, as McCoy and the crew are astonished that the trouble-making Kirk is now in charge, since they were unaware that Pike promoted him when they left the ship for their task.

Unwinnable Training Simulation: This time it has Kirk doing it, naturally. Thing is, he's taking it for the third time, and reprograms the computer so the Klingons have no shields, and does it with the finesse expected of the James T. Kirk original. Weapons... target-the-Klingon-Warbirds (sorry, battlecruisers. No such thing as Klingon Warbirds, Romulans have Warbirds).

Climbing the Cliffs of Insanity: In order to escape his landing pod on Delta Vega, Kirk has to scale an ice cliff with minimal equipment. He later topples down a much larger cliff in order to escape a gigantic carnivore native to the planet.

We Will Have Perfect Health in the Future: Implied by Dr. McCoy, who boasts that he has a cure for everything that ails Kirk. Then again, McCoy infected Kirk in the first place. It stands to reason allergic reactions would be easily treatable. Based on the reference to Admiral Archer, human life expectancy is now considerably over a hundred.

You Have to Believe Me!: Kirk runs into the bridge, claiming they're heading towards a trap and Romulans who had attacked his dad twenty-something years ago are back. (It doesn't help that he's not even supposed to be on the Enterprise in the first place.) Thankfully Uhura is there to confirm it and Spock believes her. And Pike is a Reasonable Authority Figure, enough to give Kirk one chance to speak his mind.

Earth-Shattering Kaboom: Nero's plan being to destroy every single planet in the Federation, just to get back at Spock for not being able to stop Romulus from being destroyed by a star going supernova in time. He actually gets as far as destroying Vulcan, and is in the process of trying to destroy Earth before he is stopped by Kirk and Spock. Technically, it's an implosion, rather than an explosion as the red matter is injected into the planet's core and ignites, setting off a black hole.

Recycled Title: Star Trek is already the original name of the first series and the franchise as a whole. As of today, the 2009 film is currently the only work in the Star Trek franchise to be officially known as Star Trek with no subtitle, as the series was renamed Star Trek: The Original Series, and the first film had the full title of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Fans are calling it "Star Trek 11" or Star Trek: The Future Begins to differentiate it. It has also been labeled Star Trek '09 while TOS is alternatively referred to as Star Trek '66, nodding to their respective releases.

Young Kirk trashing his stepdad's antique corvette in Iowa while trying to evade a hoverbike cop in contrast to young Spock on a school day answering every single question given by a computer correctly.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Star Trek (2009) / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: It's unknown whether Gaila was assigned to any of the Federation starships that were destroyed in the battle with Nero at Vulcan. Deleted scenes show she was also assigned to the Enterprise. There was, in fact an also-deleted subplot about how she and Kirk are now awkward around each other once she realizes he only slept with her to get her to reprogram the Kobayashi Maru. However, the deleted scene on board Enterprise, of Kirk apologizing to Gaila, is actually a different Orion (played by Diora Baird, Gaila was played by Rachel Nichols), and Kirk eventually realizes he's apologizing to a woman he's never met. It was cut along with the minor plot of Kirk using Gaila to beat the Kobayashi Maru, and because it made Kirk look to unsympathetic, not recognizing this green-skinned redhead isn't the same green-skinned redhead he'd been involved with. This still leaves Gaila's ultimate fate unknown.

Did Not Get the Girl
 Star Trek (2009) / int_8b442f50
comment
Did Not Get the Girl: Kirk hits on Uhura at the beginning of the movie, but she turns him down. It is later revealed that she and Spock have an established relationship. Which is slightly disturbing, as Spock's not at the Academy as a student. The sequels to this film and the IDW tie-in comics show that Kirk is actually quite supportive of Spock and Uhura's relationship.

No One Could Survive That!: Averted. The Narada is caught in the midst of a black hole that has opened up from inside the ship. After their offer of rescue to the Romulan crew is refused, the Enterprise proceeds to open fire in order to make sure they don't survive that.

Didn't Think This Through: Spock's plan to rendezvous with the rest of the fleet in the Laurentian system. It's already established that the Narada can travel much faster than the Enterprise and safety in numbers is not an option as the Narada already laid waste to an armada of 47 ships. By the time Starfleet returns to Earth from the Laurentian system, it would be too late to help Earth as Nero would have destroyed it.

Your Size May Vary
 Star Trek (2009) / int_8d25533e
comment
Your Size May Vary: The Constitution-class of this continuity is bigger than it originally was (partially explained by an In-Universe redesign). Shatner's was around 280 meters long. Pine's was designed to be closer to 360 meters (which was largely a result of a sleeker design and longer nacelles), although it was upscaled in the movie proper, because Abrams wanted an oversized shuttle bay, to be over 700 meters long. For reference, that's around the same length as the Sovereign-class of the TNG movie era! Here◊ is a quick comparison chart, outlining the size descrepencies, and here is the main article. In addition, Daddy Kirk "saved 800 lives" on the Kelvin (pre-time change) when the original Enterprise (newer and larger than the Kelvin) had a crew of about 450. Assuming a great deal of casualties in that battle, that puts the Kelvin crew compliment closer to the 1,000 of the Enterprise-D.

Parenthetical Swearing
 Star Trek (2009) / int_8d463bfd
comment
Parenthetical Swearing: Spock puts a certain quirk of the brow, twist of the mouth and inflection on the Vulcan salutation "Live Long and Prosper," turning it into the most polite yet obvious "fuck you" ever. See also McCoy's line when angry with Spock. "Are you out of your Vulcan mind?!" The deleted scenes also give us McCoy's "same ship, different day" line.

Crazy Enough to Work: From start to finish, almost every plan sounds patently ridiculous. Until it's put into action. Diving out of a shuttle? Hiding behind Saturn's rings? Transwarp beaming onto an enemy ship, hoping that you can rescue the captain, blow up the super advanced weapon, and make it back in time for dinner?

Variable Terminal Velocity
 Star Trek (2009) / int_8fa248fa
comment
Variable Terminal Velocity: Done realistically when Sulu falls off the Romulan drill with no chute, and Kirk jumps off and catches him. However, Sulu only has five seconds on Kirk, Kirk catches up by exploiting air resistance as he profiles his body and Sulu spreads himself out, and they're VERY high up (they fall for more than a minute all told). Of course, it's all for naught as Kirk's chute breaks immediately and they have to rely on a miracle beam-up by Chekov on the Enterprise.

The Enterprise is the beneficiary here when it arrives at Vulcan and gets spared from destruction only by Nero's orders. This is, however, justified by Nero's desire to keep Spock alive to be on the receiving end of Nero's revenge.

I Got You Covered: When they invade Narada, Kirk stuns one of the Romulans so Spock can do a mind meld and find out where Spock Prime's ship is. While Spock is doing so, Kirk shoots another Romulan who was approaching from behind. Pike returns the favor when he shoots a Romulan while Kirk is freeing him from captivity, yanking the pistol right out of Kirk's belt to do so.

Cavalier Consumption: Kirk during the Kobayashi Maru test is shown casually munching on an apple while destroying the simulated Klingon attackers with trivial ease thanks to hacking the sim computers. The gesture was added by Chris Pine because he heard once that eating an apple makes you look more cocky. Whether intentional or not, this is one of the many Continuity Nods, this time to Wrath of Khan, where Shatner!Kirk talks about the test while casually consuming an apple.

Pair the Smart Ones: Spock and Uhura. Uhura is one of the top cadets in her class, was once Spock's teaching assistant, and earned her spot on the Enterprise by knowing more Klingon and Romulan than the sitting communication officer. Spock is one of the Academy's most smartest and esteemed graduates and is first officer of the ship. The fact that she was once his teaching assistant definitely underlines that she's smart enough to keep up with him.

Nothing Is the Same Anymore
 Star Trek (2009) / int_99dfd4fc
comment
Nothing Is the Same Anymore: For the characters, the events of this film are just another event, but for the fans with the benefit of oversight, it heavily alters Star Trek mythology. The destruction of Vulcan. The devastated look on the older Spock's face cements that until then, the changes could have simply turned this into a Close-Enough Timeline. Now nothing will ever be the same. Word of God was that Vulcan was destroyed for exactly this reason—to show that things are not the same, and that this is deadly serious. Similarly, if downplayed, the destruction of Romulus is this for the Prime Reality. The loss of the Romulan homeworld and the repercussions for both the Star Empire and the Alpha/Beta Quadrants would end up serving as the foundation of Star Trek: Picard's first Season a decade later.]

Took a Level in Badass: Jim Kirk seems to have leveled up in between Starfleet courses. Chekov manages to level up, relative to his counterpart in the original continuity, by saving Kirk and Sulu through some very skilled transporter use. Starfleet in response to the attack on the Kelvin. Part of the reason the Enterprise is more advanced than its counterpart from the Prime Universe is Starfleet's rapid realisation that there were things out there that had them severely outgunned. Pike even states that instead of just exploration, Starfleet has become a "Peacekeeping and Humanitarian Armada".

Continuity Nod
 Star Trek (2009) / int_9dab0a6e
comment
Starfleet is semi-militarized in response to the fate of the Kelvin, but has its female personnel in sundresses (admittedly this is a Continuity Nod to Star Trek: The Original Series). However, they act more military in this film than Starfleet often does, for instance convening a quasi-Court Martial in response to Kirk cheating on the Kobayashi Maru test. (How military, exactly, Starfleet is depends on the series and script: Prime Kirk and Benjamin Sisko were both very open about the fact that they were primarily soldiers, not explorers or diplomats; Jean-Luc Picard considered himself the opposite.)

 Star Trek (2009) / int_9de3b377
comment
Unrealistic Black Hole: As is common in science fiction, black holes are treated here as being almost infinitely powerful space vacuums that suck in everything around them almost instantaneously. Though these holes are made by a literal plot device rather than occurring naturally, and are also two dimensional.

Fix Fic: Slash Fic fans of the film who support Kirk/Spock tend to have Uhura a) end her relationship with Spock on amicable terms b) get dumped by Spock c) run off with Bones, Scotty, Chekov... any one else with a penis... or d) get eaten by the Gorn. It's starting to get a bit ridiculous.

Reimagining the Artifact
 Star Trek (2009) / int_9ecb2ba8
comment
Reimagining the Artifact: On Star Trek: The Original Series, Dr. McCoy's nickname "Bones" comes from the term "Sawbones", which was an old nickname for doctors. Since the term has fallen from the parlance, this film has Kirk call McCoy "Bones" because, in his introduction, he explains he's joining Starfleet because "The ex-wife took the whole damn planet in the divorce. All I've got left is my bones."

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Although the Narada crew was held prisoner by the Klingon Emprire for 25 years, in deleted scenes, Nero still could have taken his ship to Romulus after escaping, even Spock Prime's ship after capturing him, and used all that future tech to help his race conquer their enemies. No wonder Spock decided Nero was crazy. Pike points this out to Nero during his interrogation. But Nero responds that it's not the Romulus he knows, and his loved ones would still be dead.

Which Me?: Near the end of the movie, Spock sees someone he thinks is his father, but it turns out on closer inspection to be his older self, who tells him, "I am not our father". He seems to be deliberately mixing his pronouns as a way of cluing Spock to his identity, as neither of them have any more pronoun trouble for the rest of the conversation.

comment
Frictionless Reentry: Kirk, Sulu, and Chief Engineer Redshirt do a skydive from low orbit around Vulcan, with no sign of atmospheric burn. Granted, one can assume their spacesuits are specially constructed to allow safe re-entry. As they are dropping through the atmosphere vertically, their tangential speed (which would cause the friction) is basically zero.note See also recent examples of successful stratosphere jumps.

Canon Discontinuity
 Star Trek (2009) / int_a32334b4
comment
Canon Discontinuity: Subverted. Though this film and any sequels that follow revamp the TOS era of the Trek Verse in a divergent, parallel timeline, they still accept the previous shows and movies as canon as they're a loose continuation of that continuity. Contrary to popular belief, the timeline in the new movies is not the original timeline having been altered, but simply a new, separate timeline altogether that branches off the original one as a weird result of Time Travel. This was eventually followed up on by the other side as well: continuations of the Prime Timeline (Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Discovery) all take place after the Narada got sucked into the past / started the new continuity. (A Season 3 episode of DISCO even mentions the Prime Timeline noticing that this has happened!) The events of the prequel series Star Trek: Enterprise remain as part of the history shared by both timelines—ironically enough, given how divisive the show was to fans.

Lens Flare: This film uses a lot of lens flare. This was a style decision by J. J. Abrams, who stated it was to represent a bright future. He later admitted he went overboard with the lens flares. Most of flares in the movie are real, not CGI, as the set was very brightly lit, with the ship shining everywhere, causing the flares.

Obfuscating Stupidity: Jim Kirk practically turns this into an art form, frequently acting like a womanizing idiot or playing the fool throughout parts of the film. However, it quickly becomes clear that he's not nearly as stupid as he leads people to believe, effectively beating the supposedly unbeatable Kobayashi Maru through rather ingenious means and then stopping Nero's rampage of revenge against the Federation. Prior to joining Starfleet, it's even stated by Pike that Jim's the only “genius-level repeat offender in the Midwest."

Intelligible Unintelligible: The other characters have no trouble understanding a word Chekov says, despite him having a "Russian" accent thicker than borscht. This is inverted, however, when the computer can't understand his passcode, because of his mangling of "Vwictor Vwictor". (Incidentally, Anton Yelchin really is Russian-born. The accent is still very, very fake, especially being that the quirks of it are actually Slovakian, and not Russian, as commented on in the DVD behind the scenes extras.)

Super-Powered Robot Meter Maids: Nero's ship, a 24th century civilian mining vessel that is capable of destroying 47 23rd century Klingon warships.

In the comic book accompanying the movie, it's explained that Nero's ship is equipped with reverse-engineered Borg weapons that he took from a research base: he had previously trashed a Klingon reaction force commanded by Worf, and fought the USS Enterprise-E to a draw.

Oh, Crap!: This exchange causes Kirk to have this expression: And when Kirk tries to save Sulu from a very long fall, only for his parachute to break away. Scotty tries to beam Kirk and Spock aboard what he assumes is the Romulan ship's cargo bay. Instead, they beam onto the bridge, surrounded by Romulans. Also: "I've got your gun." When Nero realizes that Spock is preparing to ram his ship with the Jellyfish and the red matter device aboard. The entire bridge crew gets one when they emerge from warp and find that the fleet has been destroyed. More than that, the expression on their faces when the debris from the fleet is directly in their path. Spock gets a low-grade one when it's first reported that Vulcan is in trouble.

 Star Trek (2009) / int_afe5728
comment
Promotion, Not Punishment: At the start, Kirk is actually about to be kicked out for cheating on the Kobayashi Maru test, then tops that by stowing away on the Enterprise, then actually attempts a mutiny against Spock and disobeys the acting Captain's orders. Being that it is his disregard of orders that leads to the defeat of the Big Bad and the saving of (almost) every planet in the Federation, one can begin to see how he actually skips all the way to the Captain's chair at the end.

Convection, Schmonvection: During the drill fight Sulu is almost sucked into the laser drill, but apparently is ok since he didn't actually touch it. In the same fight Sulu, Kirk, and two Romulans fight on top of the drill, which occasionally emits fire through some vents. The heat doesn't affect them unless they're standing on the vents when they're venting flame.

Alien Geometries: Captain Nero's ship, the Narada, is a surreal Mechanical Monster of giant metal tentacles and spikes◊. The red matter black holes. From the front, they look like your standard-issue, vaguely funnel-shaped Swirly Energy Thingy; from the side, it's clear that they're missing a dimension. Real Life black holes are spherical.

Going Down with the Ship
 Star Trek (2009) / int_b3c864b0
comment
One of the finest and most moving in the entire Star Trek canon. The movie begins with George Kirk staying behind on the U.S.S. Kelvin to save the escaping crew, including his pregnant wife and her child. Kirk becomes a legendary hero for this action, given that in his extremely short time as Captain, he saved 800 lives. This is made all the more poignant considering that, when you look closely, you can actually see missiles from the Narada being intercepted just before they are about to impact on his wife's shuttle. There was, quite simply, no chance of survival without him.

No OSHA Compliance
 Star Trek (2009) / int_b47d95be
comment
No OSHA Compliance: The Narada has platforms suspended over huge drops, with no railings. Hundreds of them. Of course, this allows the Romulans to get around more quickly, so it may be a deliberate design feature. Yes, they jump off, but remember that like the Vulcans, they have three times the strength and endurance of a human. Also, the Narada is a refitted deep-space mining vessel, so we're seeing the massive cargo bays that would have normally carried mined materials. The platforms and walkways were mostly made from scrap when it was refitted into a warship and aren't part of the normal design. There are also scenes where power cables are seen in puddles of water. Perhaps some credit should be given to the engineering sections in this movie... this Enterprise may just be the nearest thing we'll get to an OSHA-compliant ship in the Trek Verse ("Gentlemen! I call my invention... a seatbelt."), although still far from perfect in that regard, like for example the lack of barriers to prevent entering the transporter pad when it's in operation. The Enterprise view screen is a glass (or transparent aluminium) window that leads directly out into space, but doesn't have any form of blast shield or emergency bulkhead in case it breaks. While you could argue that the ship has shields for that, they frequently go offline and aren't that reliable as a safeguard.

Too Dumb to Live
 Star Trek (2009) / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: The whole race of Romulans. Their whole sun goes supernova thus destroying Romulus in the process? Sorry, but you must be plain dumb in order to let that happen (according to Star Trek Online, they caused it by testing weapons that were banned due to this specific reason). Not only do they possess a whole star empire, which means they have more planets then just the one being threatened by the super nova, they should also have the technological possibilities to detect super novas in time. It's not like they happen as a total surprise. It shouldn't have been a problem at all to evacuate a planet in time. And to let Spock as the only person in the goddamned empire try to prevent it because they were too busy arguing. That's beyond dumb. Maybe more so, since the ship and technology Spock uses were built on Vulcan, which means somebody had sufficient advance notice and time to prepare a response. Due to his wanting to show up the rookies, Olson waits until the absolute last moment before popping his parachute. Kirk and Sulu pull their chutes at a safe distance above the platform, but Olson turns out to have waited too long, and winds up dropping right into the path of the mining laser beam, completely vaporizing him and the explosives he was carrying for destroying the drill. We also have the Vulcan bullies picking on Young Spock. It was clear from their reaction to Spock delivering a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to one of them that none of them considered the possibility of their trying to "elicit an emotional response" in Spock might result in violence.

Precision F-Strike: Kirk's reaction after meeting Spock Prime. Well, precision BS-strike actually, but close. A much subtler version is Spock's "Live Long and Prosper" to the Vulcan Science Academy. The novelization subtlely describes it as an equivalent to Flipping the Bird. When "Sabotage" is being played while little James Kirk is joyriding in his uncle's car, they happen to leave the F bomb in the song, when in normal cases it's burred out for PG-13 films. Perhaps this may have been the series' first F bomb used in a film. Who could forget this gem from Bones.

Generic Doomsday Villain
 Star Trek (2009) / int_c250346f
comment
Generic Doomsday Villain: Nero. His backstory is that, in the late 24th century, his home planet (with his pregnant wife on it) was destroyed in a supernova, which, for some reason means that he wants to destroy every planet in The Federation. To make matters worse, no one ever points out the fact that he's gone back in time a hundred and fifty years before the supernova took place and therefore has ample opportunity to, oh, I don't know... WARN HIS PEOPLE THAT THEIR PLANET IS GOING TO BE DESTROYED.This is a bad case of All There in the Manual, as reading the prequel comic reveals that Nero witnessed the beginning of the supernova, but the Romulan senate refused to listen to him even with concrete evidence. So once he goes back in time, he figures that if that senate wouldn't listen to him, the one he would now face sure as hell wouldn't. In the comic he also works closely with Spock on the Federation science project to prevent the disaster, hearing promises that everything will end up all right... only for it to go horribly wrong. That in turn makes Nero's desire to destroy Vulcan and the Federation more understandable. Spending a decade inside a Klingon Prison after going back into the past didn't help his sanity either.Over a decade later, Star Trek: Picard would give a more concrete reasoning by revealing that the Romulan Senate and the Federation knew of the supernova and were working on a way to evacuate the planet. However, a secret sect of Romulans fearing a galaxy-spanning Robot Uprising caused a small one on Mars to ban synths, allowing them to destroy the rescue fleet. That and numerous Federation members threatening to leave forced the Federation to abandon the plan, to Admiral Picard's horror, and leaving Spock as the last best hope.

 Star Trek (2009) / int_c4942576
comment
This universe's version of Uhura, being a Cunning Linguist, owes a bit to Hoshi Sato, as well as to Nichelle Nichols creating the character as a linguist originally (even if she never really spoke any alien language in the show and actually used a dictionary to speak Klingon in one of the TOS movies).

Insane Troll Logic
 Star Trek (2009) / int_c5f0119c
comment
Insane Troll Logic: Nero actually seems to believe that destroying Vulcan, Earth and the Federation will save Romulus, when it was destroyed due to a sun going supernova, and blames them for letting it happen when they tried to save Romulus and were simply too late. Made all the more ridiculous by the fact that Romulus still exists in the time period he is now in and he is doing nothing to warn them to evacuate or otherwise do something practical and obvious to avert the disaster. It is implied that he doesn't care about Romulus anymore, that he just wants revenge on a Federation that helped cause the destruction of all that he knew and loved... and that he's just insane. A deleted scene in the movie and a tie-in prequel comic both give a lot more insight into Nero's actions. Specifically: Nero did try to warn the Romulan senate in his own timeline about the impending danger and they refused to listen, even with concrete evidence; therefore, Nero saw no point in trying to repeat this in the new timeline. He was also shown to work closely with Spock on the Federation project meant to save Romulus, was repeatedly told that it would work...and then had to watch it fail.

Strong Family Resemblance: As a result of Separated-at-Birth Casting: James T. Kirk bears such a strong resemblance to his father that some viewers initially mistook George Kirk for his son. Spock also shares a few features with his mother. His eyes are commented on by other Vulcans as being extremely human.

Shout-Out
 Star Trek (2009) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The Red Matter ball looks identical to a couple that feature in Alias. The Jellyfish's Red Matter room is very similar to the inside of the Joint European Torus [1]. To Star Wars: During the beginning of the battle between the Kelvin and the Narada, one of the bridge staff says "All power to forward batteries." The Enterprise going into warp comes this close to looking like going into hyperspace. When the cadets muster in the hangar for their ship postings, Cadet Vader is assigned to the USS Hood. When Captain Pike's shuttle is launching for the space jump, the air traffic controller's pre-flight checks are the same as a Viper from Battlestar Galactica (2003). Kirk and McCoy fly to spacedock aboard the Shuttlecraft Gilliam. When young Kirk is joyriding to the tune of Beastie Boys' "Sabotage", it might have seemed like an odd song choice until one remembers when William Shatner voiced displeasure over being told how to pronounce said word during an audiobook recording. An arctic planet inhabited by red multi-limbed-and-jawed creatures evokes The Thing (1982). Spock quotes Sherlock Holmes from The Sign of the Four: "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth". On the shuttle, Bones tells Jim "I might throw up on you." In the pilot episode of Lost, Kate says the same thing to Jack when she's stitching his wound. Another homage to Lost; Kirk plays with a broken toy of the Kelvin, looking much the same as Kate holding her toy plane in a couple episodes.

Perhaps some credit should be given to the engineering sections in this movie... this Enterprise may just be the nearest thing we'll get to an OSHA-compliant ship in the Trek Verse ("Gentlemen! I call my invention... a seatbelt."), although still far from perfect in that regard, like for example the lack of barriers to prevent entering the transporter pad when it's in operation.

Power Trio
 Star Trek (2009) / int_ca85e684
comment
Power Trio: Downplayed, but still present. The traditional Kirk-Spock-McCoy dynamic, typically seen as the codifying power trio, is seen in its infancy. Kirk, here a brash hothead, actually ends up playing The McCoy more than the Trope Namer, who is more Kirk-like in response. However, it's suggested that Uhura has been "upgraded", so to speak, and they're now a Four-Temperament Ensemble, with McCoy as sanguine, Kirk as choleric, Uhura as melancholic, and Spock as phlegmatic. There's good discussion of this here.

Series Continuity Error
 Star Trek (2009) / int_ca95473c
comment
Series Continuity Error: Spock Prime (who has lived the original reality) does the “I learned how to break rules from watching Kirk� bit, but he was more than skilled manipulating and mutinying for good reason in “The Menagerie�, long before Kirk got a reputation for being a Military Maverick. The Inciting Incident that kicks off the film (and leads to Spock Prime getting transferred to the resulting Alternate Timeline) is that the Romulan Star Empire needs help creating an artificial black hole to stop a supernova. TNG established in "Timescape" that Romulan ships are powered by artificial black holes. If the USS Kelvin was designed prior to the Kelvin Timeline divergence, then the ship itself would not be able to hold enough people to have approximately 800 survivors and the people who were killed in the attack (nor would the amount of shuttlecraft escaping it be able to hold that many people). For reference, the Original Series Constitution Class USS Enterprise only had around 430 crew, The Next Generation Galaxy Class USS Enterprise in the episode "Remember Me" had according to Picard a crew size of 1,014; both ships are bigger than the USS Kelvin.

Space Is Noisy: Subject to the Rule of Drama. When we're subject to a character POV, we either hear nothing or just the sound of their own breathing if they are in a space suit. If there are no character POVs to be subjected to, we can hear the explosions and jumps to warp just fine. Subverted when the Kelvin is being attacked. There's plenty of crashing and screaming before the hull ruptures and the woman is sucked into space, and then it goes completely silent while she is still flailing and trying to scream.

Pike thinks he's trying to get more attention and Spock is more than happy to want to toss Kirk out of the bridge on his ass, but Uhura agreeing with Kirk's warnings makes them back down enough to at least try to figure out if Kirk is right. When they get to Vulcan, they get their answer.

In Spite of a Nail: James T. Kirk's father dies thanks to Nero's meddling with the timestream, and Kirk grows up an angry, disaffected youth. Yet, against all odds, vastly different circumstances work out in the end to bring the core crew of the Enterprise together, as if willed by Destiny itself, along with Spock Prime's meddling. The IDW comics are running through various Star Trek: The Original Series storylines. There are differences, because the characters are different, but Gary Mitchell still becomes a god when they cross the Galactic Barrier, and the "Galileo Seven" still end up trapped on Taurus II while studying a quasar.

Kirk pulls himself up from the quarry, dusts himself off, and as the officer confronts him, Kirk says:

Adaptational Wimp: In the novel, the Narada doesn't drill to the core, as one of the Romulan crewmen worries that the Red Matter won't be able to activate if the temperatures aren't hot enough. Subverted because it turns out to be hot enough anyway.

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale
 Star Trek (2009) / int_d525f857
comment
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Two main problems with the supernova scenario. First, the idea that a supernova could threaten to destroy the entire galaxy. The blast front would dissipate long before that from spreading out too far. The official novelization of the movie fixes this, saying the supernova had threatened everything in its vicinity. The latter was eventually confirmed canonically by Star Trek: Picard. Second, the idea that a supernova could destroy the Romulus System before it could be evacuated. Having the shockwave travel at the required speed violates basic Einsteinian physics (i.e. it would have to travel faster than the speed of light, which is impossible). The only way this would make sense is if it was the sun of Romulus and Remus themselves that blew up. Otherwise the star systems in the vicinity would have, at minimum, years to evacuate, a daunting but hardly impossible task for a major warp-capable polity such as the Romulan Star Empire. The comic tie-ins and Star Trek Online stated non-canonically that the shockwave unexpectedly propagated through subspace and hit the Romulan system only hours after the detonation, and the MMORPG added that the nova was deliberately induced by a Renegade Splinter Faction of the Tal Shiar at the behest of the Iconians. Star Trek: Picard retconned the star to be the Romulan sun itself, as well as confirming that much of the Romulan race survived (no sign of the Remans as yet) and blaming the partial failure of the Homeworld Evacuation on internal political problems in the Federation exacerbated by the actions of renegade Tal Shiar. Delta Vega, which Star Trek: The Original Series placed near the rim of the galaxy in "Where No Man Has Gone Before", is somehow close enough to Vulcan for Prime!Spock to watch its destruction by Nero with the naked eye, in real time. This was handwaved at the time as being intended as an impressionistic description rather than meant literally; also, the film's Delta Vega is apparently a different object with the same name as the one from TOS.

Hypocrite: Many of the Vulcans who insult Spock for acting emotional fail to realize that they are guilty of the same thing, showing clear irritation and even mild anger when he fails to respond to their vicious barbs about his mother! Likewise, when the bullies finally goad the young Spock into losing his temper, you can see they are utterly terrified when he proceeds to beat the crap out of one of them! When Kirk is on the bridge, trying to elicit an emotional response from Spock at Spock Prime's orders, Spock tells him "I will not allow you to lecture me on the merits of emotion", then gets violent when Kirk implies that Spock never loved his mother. This despite the fact that he lectured Kirk about the merits of fear, and brought up Kirk's father in the same speech, barely hours before. Of course, the circumstances were slightly different, but still...

If the USS Kelvin was designed prior to the Kelvin Timeline divergence, then the ship itself would not be able to hold enough people to have approximately 800 survivors and the people who were killed in the attack (nor would the amount of shuttlecraft escaping it be able to hold that many people). For reference, the Original Series Constitution Class USS Enterprise only had around 430 crew, The Next Generation Galaxy Class USS Enterprise in the episode "Remember Me" had according to Picard a crew size of 1,014; both ships are bigger than the USS Kelvin.

Contrived Coincidence
 Star Trek (2009) / int_dc579c91
comment
Contrived Coincidence: Every single officer of higher rank than the main characters is killed or, in Captain Pike's case, incapacitated, resulting in the crew that we know from the original series. Justified in that it's the crew's origin story, but it can stretch Willing Suspension of Disbelief. Except Uhura's superior—she's just a much better linguist than he is. Scotty comes on board after the previous Chief Engineer has already succumbed to stupidity, and he has just invented transwarp beaming. Sort of. Not that Spock Prime has nothing to do with giving Scotty his own completed theory. A deleted line from Spock suggests there was the hand of fate in there. Maybe the biggest one. Spock gets annoyed with Kirk and drops him on the nearest planet after Vulcan is destroyed, which is also where Old Spock is hanging out, because Nero wanted him to bear witness. So far, so good. Then Kirk just happens to land within running distance of Spock's cave, when he could have landed anywhere on the planet. That's... incredibly unlikely. And then Scotty just happens to be stationed in an outpost only a couple of miles away. It's possible that Kirk's pod was deliberately dropped nearby a Federation installation so that he didn't freeze to death, but that doesn't explain what Spock is doing so close by. The film tries to lampshade this coincidence by having Old Spock ask Kirk, "How did you find me?" But, Kirk is too freaked out to answer that question.

Reasonable Authority Figure: Pike; Robau. Looking at the movie again, it would appear Nero is one of these as well. Even when his plans get foiled, or his mooks get punked, he never hauls off and declares You Have Failed Me. When Kirk and Sulu damage the drill the first time, all he did was just retract it and order the red matter deployed.note Then again, they did succeed in reaching the core, so they hadn't actually screwed up his plans.

Composite Character: This universe's version of Uhura, being a Cunning Linguist, owes a bit to Hoshi Sato, as well as to Nichelle Nichols creating the character as a linguist originally (even if she never really spoke any alien language in the show and actually used a dictionary to speak Klingon in one of the TOS movies). The re-imagined Enterprise is an elemental fusion of the original ship from The Original Series and the heavily-refit version from the first six Star Trek films.

Determinator: James Kirk, who doesn't believe in no-win scenarios and is certainly one stubborn fellow once he sets his mind to accomplishing something, be it graduating from Starfleet Academy early, finding a way to beat the supposedly unbeatable Kobayashi Maru, or stopping Nero. He takes more beat-downs than any other character and is consistently degraded or doubted by those around him, but keeps coming back for more in order to protect his homeworld. He is certainly not too worried about getting himself killed in the process, either.

Artistic License – Space: The star depicted detonating is too small and completely the wrong type to become a supernova. Expanded Universe material eventually stated (non-canonically) that the nova was deliberately induced with a Star Killing weapon. The Enterprise escapes from the Unrealistic Black Hole by detonating her warp cores behind her as an improvised Orion Drive. If Faster-Than-Light Travel isn't fast enough to get you to escape velocity (implying that they're already well inside the event horizon), a slower-than-light shockwave most certainly won't.

Mildly Military: Starfleet is semi-militarized in response to the fate of the Kelvin, but has its female personnel in sundresses (admittedly this is a Continuity Nod to Star Trek: The Original Series). However, they act more military in this film than Starfleet often does, for instance convening a quasi-Court Martial in response to Kirk cheating on the Kobayashi Maru test. (How military, exactly, Starfleet is depends on the series and script: Prime Kirk and Benjamin Sisko were both very open about the fact that they were primarily soldiers, not explorers or diplomats; Jean-Luc Picard considered himself the opposite.) Uhura, who is at this point a cadet who just got the equivalent of a battlefield commission, is able to talk back to Commander Spock and make him reassign her to the Enterprise instead of reporting to the Farragut as the admiralty (superior to both of them) ordered. For that matter, the rank difference between them should prohibit them from being in a relationship.

 Star Trek (2009) / int_eaa8e6b3
comment
Narrow Annihilation Escape: When Nero launches the red matter into Vulcan's core, Spock is able to rescue the Vulcan High Elders, and Sarek, his father, but is unable to save his mother, Amanda, as the cliff she stood on gave way as the landscape crumbled while they beamed up to the Enterprise. The final view of Vulcan is of the planet spiraling into nothingness as the Enterprise flies away.

Big Damn Heroes: Spock Prime gets one when he rescues Kirk from an enormous monster on the ice planet Delta Vega. The crew, led by Sulu and Chekov, arrive in time to take out the Narada's entire remaining missile spread.

Jerkass
 Star Trek (2009) / int_eb8ec7c8
comment
Kirk intentionally angers Spock, including mocking his parentage, but he's not doing it to be a Jerkass; he's doing it because he had to. The same thing happens in the TOS episode "This Side of Paradise" when Kirk has to piss off Spock to release him from the effect of the spores. Spock Prime undoubtedly had this incident in mind when he counseled Kirk on how to provoke Spock into an extreme emotional response.

comment
You Are in Command Now: Before heading to the Narada, Captain Robau leaves his Number Two in command of the Kelvin. This gets repeated when it's Pike's turn to go to the Narada, so he leaves Spock in command of the Enterprise after promoting Kirk to First Officer. Then, when Spock has to relinquish command for being "emotionally compromised", Kirk becomes the captain.

Traveling at the Speed of Plot
 Star Trek (2009) / int_f314f8c4
comment
Traveling at the Speed of Plot: The distance from Earth to Vulcan takes exactly as long as is required by the plot. The initial journey seems to take only a few minutes but the return trip takes the second half of the movie. 40 Eridani (the triple-star system identified in canon as Vulcan's system) is only about 16.5 light years from Sol. This means that crossing the galaxy would take less than 9 days. There's an instance of "turbolift rides only last as long as the conversation contained within." Duing the buildup to the Enterprise's departure, Spock takes a turbolift from the shuttlebay to the bridge, 80% of the total length of the ship, within seconds. Later Spock is joined by Uhura in the turbolift. Even after stopping and restarting the lift, the lift travels for at least 20 seconds.

Running Gag: Chekov's accent. Seriously. And McCoy's injections. And Kirk trying to learn Uhura's first name, which itself is a Mythology Gag since Uhura never had a canon first name before now. ("Nyota" was Fanon. Though the fan in question was Nichelle Nichols...)

You Killed My Father: Nero is responsible for the death of Jim Kirk's father, George Kirk, only minutes after Jim's birth. Ironically, revenge for his father's death is never a main motive in Kirk's defeat of Nero. Played straight with Spock's mother, whose death takes place in the movie's actual present.

Attack Hello: Apparently SOP for Nero. When the Narada emerges in 2233, the first thing it does is attack the USS Kelvin. When the Enterprise arrives at Vulcan and flies through the debris field of the other Federation ships, the Narada immediately opens fire, only stopping because Nero wants Spock to watch the destruction of Vulcan.

Dark and Troubled Past: Heavily alluded to with Kirk, who lost his father just minutes after his birth, was frequently abused by his stepfather while his mother was off-planet—his brother Johnny ran away when Jim was still young because he hated their stepfather so much—nearly killed himself by driving a car off a cliff when he was twelve, possibly survived Tarsus IV (if future movies keep with the original series), and was already a repeat offender long before enlisting in Starfleet.
