Trivia:

The model of the Enterprise-B is simply the Excelsior with a few new front details. These hull additions were made so that the "damage" caused by the Nexus ribbon would not require cutting into the actual model. This miniature was seen first in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) and was used in several episodes of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987) and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1993).

Goofs:

Continuity: The scene when Picard discusses about the death of a family member to Troi, they are clearly in Picard's quarters. After they witness the destruction of a star, they head towards the bridge. However, as they enter the bridge, they exit from Picard's ready room.

Bye Kirk,hello Picard!

Above average Sci-fi action drama movie that has a modest production in comparison to the average high qualily fare STAR TREK film.This 7th Star Trek movie played more like a special TV episode which although still good,kind of let down a lot of high expectations due to a great potential storyline and incredible trailers.The movie was rushed and the screenplay/script really took the steam out of the storyline.Also,the special effects were very trimmed down.Still,if one is a big Star Trek fan,you will never forget the emotional scenes of Captain Kirk(what a guy!) and the great acting of Shatner (not to be outdone by Stewart!) here.Yes,this one could have been so much better but I would take a Star Trek movie over the majority of Scifi movies out there!For Star Trek fans only......
