Quotes
Christopher Pike: [to Kirk] You've always had a hard time finding your place in this world, haven't you? Never knowing your true worth. You can settle for less in ordinary life, or do you feel like you were meant for something better? Something special.
Trivia
When Scotty says "It never occurred to me to think of space as the thing that was moving" this is actually a reference to a proposed form of warp travel that has recently been postulated by scientists, where the ship is stationary, but the space-time continuum around it moves. 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 a California state flag among the Starfleet flags. After Kirk shakes Pike's hand, and the camera pans back, the California flag is gone.
