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.

Trivia
The Planet Delta Vega on which Kirk is marooned by Spock is a reference to the original series episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before" in which Kirk was faced with the choice of marooning his friend Gary Mitchell on the deserted planet Delta Vega after Gary obtained Godlike powers and became a threat to the Enterprise. That Delta Vega was close the the edge of the Galaxy however, not near Vulcan, which is 16 light years from Earth. See more...

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: 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.
Continuity: At the end of the film when Kirk is being awarded his medal, behind the Federation Counsel you can see 3 flags in the background- the center flag is the California state flag. After Kirk shakes Pike's hand, and the camera pans up and back, the California flag is hanging significantly different so that it is no longer recognizable, seeming almost blank white. As the ceremony is indoors and all attending are standing motionless, this flag should not have moved.
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.
