Corrected entry: In the beginning of the movie as Kirk flies around the Enterprise with his shuttle in spacedock 2 mistakes occur. First when the shuttle turns and starts flying towards the front of the ship, the shuttle flies partly inside the Enterprise hull, showing it's CGI. Second when we get to see Kirk from behind inside the shuttle, the shuttle is still behind the Enterprise, while in the previous shot it had gone past half of the lower part of the ship.

Correction: First off, CGI really wasn't used for films back in 1979 when this movie came out. Tron was the first serious use of the technology and that wasn't until 1982. (And Tron was shut out of consideration for the Academy Award for special effects because they were told that they "cheated".) But more to the mistake, I don't know what you're referring to here since it never even vaguely looked to me like they were flying inside the enterprise hull. As for the second point, it only looks like the shuttle pod has moved down half of the secondary hull because of the angle you're seeing it at. But considering the size of the shuttle pod, and the size it appears in that shot you have to assume it's closer to the camera than you may have initially assumed.
