- TriviaAfter production on the film was completed, and a month before the release, Anton Yelchin died in a freak vehicle accident at age 27. During the ending credits, there is a dedication that reads, "For Anton." J.J. Abrams announced that Chekov would not be recast, "I would say you can't replace him. There will be no new casting. I can't imagine that, and I think Anton deserves better."
- GoofsThe amount of ships and soldiers that the enemy has in its swarm changes dramatically during the final battle, from a few thousand to tens/hundreds of thousands when they attack the station. However, previously in the film, it is stated that the planet has deep and large underground caverns so it is entirely possible that there were more ships underground.
Also, the amount of soldiers that would be needed to pilot all the ships would be huge as it was shown that they contain at least one soldier in each ship. But when they were watching the video logs near the film's ending, Captain Edison clearly states that they found drones. It is quite possible that the bulk of the enemy fleet is made up of drones and controlled by the hive mind that the music disrupts.
- Quotes
Doctor 'Bones' McCoy: [after removing shrapnel from Spock] Yeah. They say it hurts less if it's a surprise.
Commander Spock: If I may adopt a parlance with which you are familiar, I can confirm your theory to be horseshit.
- Crazy creditsThere is a giant green energy-hand, in the closing credits, mentioned in the movie as one of the possibilities for a ship lost in space.

What I loved in particular was the relationship between McCoy and Spock. Though brief and relegated to a few scenes, it was was brilliantly done.
Simon Pegg, I think, showed a remarkable understanding of the characters of the original series. Yes, the Uhura-Spock thing was not a part of the original, but Spock was always involved with someone or the other. In this particular instance, who better than Uhura?
Especially since there was no Nurse Chapel.
As for the acting, full marks to all the cast with the possible exception of Chris Pine who in places looked markedly wooden.
All in all, it was a film that I loved and despite the predictability (how many films are truly unpredictable?), was definitely entertaining.
Props to Simon Pegg! I hope he keeps writing more Star Trek movies and lace them with more comedy and even more character development. (Makes me long for a TV series reboot with the new cast!)
