Something I noticed with Chekov...I was watching "Who Mourns for Adonais?" today, in which he tells Kirk he is 22 years old. Given the episode is set in 2267, this implies that for whatever reason this "new" Chekov (who was 17 in 2258) was born four-years earlier than his primeverse counterpart. Not really all that significant in the grand scheme of things, but does make one wonder what has changed in his parent's life.

The PW has seen this movie (a boot leg, of course).
The PW enjoyed this movie, greatly. even the NuEnt is functional and enjoyable.
only thing i bitched about is how open the engineering sections seemed. the ugly, smelly, loud NOT fucking crystal clean, that was cool and more seeming possible. it just seemed so open. like a few good holes in the hull should kill the crew sorta view. there wasnt a sence of hull compartmentalization (you didnt get that feel in TOS either but TWOK, yeah, you did)
if they had did what they did visually with more compression of walls... then dead on.
still it was eye candy and i enjoyed it, bithcing and all (pass the popcorn)
...Did they ever say what class of type of ship Kelvin was (honest to god Saladin nod to JF?
and Nero and crew... they were civilians, right? (why theire ship looks so shitty, because its a comerical mining vessel and not Romulan miliary?
it sorta explains why Nero is so flipant to Pike (Hello, Christopher)...

Um....you do know we obsess about things like that here, dont you?
Recall all the venom towards Nemesis about how the Remans could not have possibly built the Scimitar in secret....that was a plot hole.
This is just bad writing.
There. I said it. The movie is Trek dumbed-down for a broader audience.

so..... when do we start seeing books for Nutrek?
and has the disertations from STO even mention the lack of Romulus/Remus now?
or did they even bother to tell them sods so now their game might not even be 'canon' since in postNem times, the romulans are the endangered species...

I don't have a problem with the Narada being abnormally well-armed for the 24th Century, even . . . after all, a mining ship could probably use some asteroid-busting, highly penetrative missiles.
But I don't think she could take even a midsize Federation ship of the TNG era.
(Hell . . . given the low ranges and low weapon velocities seen in this movie, I don't think she could take a Danube, even. (I'm not even really sure the Narada has a transporter.))

You have to take into account that the Narada was only up against 150-year-old ships and defenses in the film. As G2k said, there's no way of knowing how it would fare against its contemporaries.

Now whether or not STO's outlines are cannon or not, they imply that Nero supersized his ship prior to the blackhole encounter (which is a big pill of shit excuse in itself). just to suffice, that even a civilian ship could beat the shit outta ships 200 years older than it (just to say how big a leap in tech TNG is to TOS or ST90210).

the Narada was outfitted with Tal Shiar's reverse engineered Borg technology. Consider the comic non-canon or canon, but its the closest to the official explanation you'll get.
