Karl Urban fucking channeled DeForest Kelly. Zachary Quinto didn't once make me expect he was going to saw anyone's head open with his finger (though his vulcan salute needs work--evidently they superglued his hand into position for that shot). Simon Pegg is my fucking hero.
A few technical things:
Spoiler: First: You don't build a starship on the FUCKING GROUND. You build a starship in orbit. The first Enterprise was built at San Fransisco Shipyards, in earth orbit. Most other ships (including all of the major ones from the Next Generation-era shows) were built at Utopia Planitia, which orbits Mars. I know this reboot doesn't necessarily hold to "canon", but just logistically, how the hell are you going to build this thing on the FUCKING GROUND?? Gravity just makes it that much harder. You really want to do the work to heave the damn warp nacelles up in the air to attach them? I don't think so.
Second: You go through a black hole once, you time travel. You go through a second time and you're destroyed. N-kay.
A matter/antimatter explosion will NOT squirt a starship out like a watermelon seed. Sorry.
