Star Trek (2009) - 13 mistakes

Continuity: Kirk quickly locates Uhura and runs to find her to question her about the Klingon transmission. From there he runs to the bridge. In a shot from behind Kirk as he enters the bridge, you can see that Uhura is to the left, already on the bridge when the doors open.

Continuity: When Spock points out to Sulu that he has forgotten to disengage the external inertial dampener, we see a close shot of Sulu as he corrects the situation on his controls, and Pike can be seen sitting behind him with arms by his side. It then cuts to a long shot where Pike suddenly has his arms crossed.

Factual error: The view of Saturn's rings from Titan's atmosphere looks impressive, but from Titan's orbit the rings always appear nearly edge-on.

Continuity: Captain Kirk, jumping away from Nero's assassin, lands on a raised walkway inside the Romulan ship. There is a gun visible on the walkway as he lands. The assassin then jumps after Kirk, and is wearing the gun - the same gun we just saw on the walkway before the assassin was in the scene. It can't be Kirk's phaser, it was shown falling off the platform.

Revealing: When the Romulan is pulling Kirk onto the ledge during their fight at the end, you can see the wire harness under Kirk's pants.

Continuity: At the end of the film when Kirk is being awarded his medal, behind the Federation Counsel you can see a California state flag among the Starfleet flags. After Kirk shakes Pike's hand, and the camera pans back, the California flag is gone.

Other: When Checkov is discussing the plan to hide behind Saturn, he says, "If Mr. Scott can get us to warp 4." Yet on the viewscreen, it shows they are already traveling at warp 4.3.

Continuity: When Kirk, Sulu and Olson are space jumping down to the platform, they are shown on camera as falling with Olson the in last place. He is furthest from the platform. Yet on Chekov's screen, he is displayed (by the red color associated with his red uniform) as being the lowest and closest, in first place.

Continuity: When Kirk is sneaking about on the Romulan ship, just after Spock takes off in the ship, we see a shot of him walking down a dark corridor, carrying what is very clearly a Romulan pistol (quite long and thin). When the shot changes, he suddenly has his standard Federation Phaser in his hand when he confronts Nero. He doesn't get a Romulan pistol like that until after the fight with the first officer, when his phaser falls over the edge.

Continuity: In the scene on top of the drill, Kirk falls off the edge. When Sulu helps him up, he's holding onto the platform with his right hand and being helped up by his left, but in one shot he's holding on with his left hand, and being lifted up by his right.

Continuity: When Kirk meets Uhura in the bar, there is an alien nursing his beer between them, and he never takes a sip, yet in one of the following shots, the beer is now significantly lower in the glass. The alien is in shot between Uhura and Kirk for the majority of the scene, and in the intervening shots, there is not enough time for him to have taken a sip of his beer.

Continuity: During the scene in which Kirk first meets McCoy in the shuttle, watch the safety harness strap over McCoy's right shoulder. As the perspective changes back and forth from McCoy to Kirk, the strap is bunched up, then flat, then bunched and then flat again without McCoy touching it.

Continuity: When Kirk, McCoy and Uhura enter the bridge to tell the captain about the attack on the Klingon ships, Uhura stops right in front of Spock. In the next shot they are standing apart.
