1 AnswerMilitary10 years agothe new Star Trek movie have a ton of inconsistances will it drive you away from the movie?
The examples of screw ups are 1 Capt. Kirks dad died from Kodos the executioner not on a star ship so did his mom. The Romulans were never seen until Capt. Kirks crew fought them in the original series. The Enterprise design is totally out of whack with the enterprise that is yet to come in the series but has the same hull number. Capt. Kirk didn't serve on the enterprise as a ensign but on the USS Republic. The list just goes on. For non Trekkie's these are minor details but for the rest of the Trekkie crowd I am wondering is this going to kill the movie for them?
