At the same time, maybe they should have had Shatner record the scene so they could have cut down on some of the grousing from his corner. At least he could say that yes they filmed a scene with him but cut it for time.

FEDERATION COMMANDANT
Who are you?
SHATNER
It's me! Kirk. Give me the keys. We're going to the second to star to the right and straight on till morning.
FEDERATION COMMANDANT
You're not Kirk.
Shatner headbutts Tyler Perry.

I don't believe in the no-win scenario.
We cut to Chris Pine gagged and bound in a Starfleet bathroom making muffled noises. We again hear SABOTAGE and cut to the Enterprise warping away.

SPOCK PRIME
Close enough.

SPOCK PRIME turns around, and we see his face. He has a goatee.
SPOCK PRIME laughs. Fade out.

Seriously, someone get these guys on the writing crew for the sequel.

Now, having the crew assembly in the space dock with the Enterprise in the background--I would have like that better than the auditorium scene they actually had.

But I didn't like Nemoy's voice over at the end of the film either. It was time to hear Pine/Kirk say the words. I guess it was a passing of the torch from one series cast to the next.
Geesh, we've now had three passing of the torch moments in Star Trek films.
Star Trek VI - at the end Kirk corrects himself by saying, "...where no man, where no one has gone before" [a nice subtle, non-in-your-face passing of the torch to the next generation series].
Star Trek Generations - Well, the previous passing of the torch was too subtle. Let's be sure the audience gets it [rolls eyes].
Star Trek (2009) - Nimoy says the famous "Space, the final frontier" bit instead of Pine/Kirk to be sure original fans are happy.

...I thought Pine's delivery was a bit flat. LOL, Shatner's from the original series sounds like he was so jazzed to say it. I think Pine could deliver something with the same amount of enthusiasm/energy (maybe they need to give him a few Red Bulls™ first).
Hopefully in the next film we'll get that. :)

I really like that scene, but ending on the TOS theme was possibly all the tribute the film needed to go out on. The "torch passing" sequence would've been too much for a movie that seemed keen to stand on its own feet.

I'm looking forward to when he starts punching the walls of reality.

but to be honest, i'd like to see them continue to chart new territory instead of redo old ideas, which is why they went to such lengths with the plot on the first one. it would be pretty dumb move to squander that set up, and i think they know that too. but Hollywood never ceases to amaze me....

I want to say I was there in front of the Tv watching Trek when it 1st aired in the 1960's.I watched all the Treks.I am not a trekkie but I do enjoy Trek.One thing I enjoyed was always new stories which you have to at least give them credit for that.No shows or movies were remade or rebooted till now.
Now I enjoyed the new Trek film as a scifi-action popcorn blockbuster but not so much as a Trek fan.I didnot hate that aspect and some of it I thought was good to give them credit but there are some major issues I had with that film.Still I support the franchise but now I must say I am kind of getting annoyed.I must state for the record if Trek turns into YARM (or my new term) Alternate YARM I think I will just have to leave the franchise.I have no intention of spending a dime on a Trek that is just stealing from the past.What a bummer this krap is...........................now even Trek is going to turn into YARM !!!
Whatever

There must be a balance in there somewhere.
