I cant get past the fact that Kirk, a fresh cadet out of the academy sneaked onto a flagship starship and then somehow jived his way to become captain.

Too hard to digest.

they instead just roam aimlessly through space magically evading every single starship in the quadrant for three decades?

Uhm, no?

You probably should watch it again.



They arrive the day Jim Kirk is born. Jump to Spock punching the lights out of some bully. Cut to adult Kirk, Old Spock arrives, and Nero and crew are just sitting there in space waiting for him. What did they do in that 30 year span?

It's hand-waved and easy to miss but...


Remember the whole bit about Uhura decoding the Klingon transmissions about a battle at a "prison planet" where 47 battlecruisers got their asses handed to them?

Look, I know this will come as a surprise and shock 'n' all, but Star Trek isn't exactly an educational series on modern physics and science.



Star Trek always tried to stay grounded on science. They go to great lengths to explain a lot of things and when they throw around terms they are typically grounded in reality. That is why it is science fiction and not science fantasy.

Not to say it is all perfect and hard science, but this film is the farthest departure Star Trek has ever made from modern physics and science.
