Spock says,
"The cadet's logic is sound."
'Cause in that moment, you're like,
"Okay, Spock cares more about
the ship than he does about..."
They all have that moment.
Uhura in supporting Kirk,
-Pike in allowing...
-Now look, they all tilt that way,
but the ship goes the other direction.
So, go figure.
Bryan, is there a little Easter egg
coming up
that people should be
looking for here on the DVD?
There are Easter eggs.
One of my favourite things,
-actually, in these shots...
-It just passed.
That was it? Are we pointing it out?
No, there's just something
that you might want to look for.
There's also bodies floating
throughout this shot,
which is really disturbing and...
-Love the sound design here.
-Amazing.
This was a lot of what Ben worked on,
as well.
This is one of my favourite sounds.
Right here,
if you're watching this in surround,
you actually hear the sound
as it passes the camera,
-as if it's hitting the cameraman.
-Yeah, that was it. That was it.
And by the way, listening to a DVD
commentary is great in surround.
That's really... You'll hear J.J.
-slightly back and to the left.
-Right behind you.
-Just behind you.
-Yeah. Exactly.
Now pitching, Manny Mota, Mota.
Here's another thing, just very briefly,
that I wanted to ask you, J.J.,
-'cause I don't think I ever did.
-Jewish.
I think it was genius
that the Romulans speak English
and that there's no subtitles.
'Cause if you think about it, you're like,
"Why would they be speaking English?"
But I'm so glad that they do.
By the way, this shot has more
lens flares than anything.
And I wanted to point out, also,
that that was a shot that I never...
I can't figure out why I did this.
I had Sulu look over his right shoulder,
as opposed to his left shoulder.
I can't figure out why I did that.
Because he should have looked
towards camera.
I just think we all, you know, we
discussed it. I think that the answer was,
"Let's not have the characters...
Let's not try and confuse it by having
-"too many other languages."
-But it makes this moment.
-I love Bana's delivery here.
-He's so funny.
-Yeah, unbelievable.
-"Hello, Christopher."
-Yeah. "Hi, Christopher."
-That was genius.
That deadpan thing was brilliant.
-"Hi, Christopher. I'm Nero."
-What does NCC stand for?
-We've already been here.
-Somebody look it up, for God's sakes.
-Sorry.
-Okay, wait a minute. That guy,
a lot of people think that's Kal Penn
because John Cho's in the movie.
-Yeah, it's not.
-It's not.
I actually think it stands for
"no can comment."
But the... Yeah, this was...
It was very funny, when we were
shooting this, I remember,
"Oh, my God, we're actually shooting
a Star Trek movie."
'Cause we had this greenscreen
and we had the actors talking to it.
It just felt like,
this must have been what it felt like
when they used to do Star Trek.
And here we are doing Star Trek.
This is a staple
of all time travel storytelling,
which is when one character
recognises another one,
and then that character says,
"I don't know you."
And then the character says,
-"You don't know me yet."
-"Not yet."
Because we're in a time travel story.
Not a classic time travel story, though.
-Yes. This is a non-classic.
-I also like how the viewscreen
is also, you know, a window.
-Thank you.
-So you can kind of see through it.
You know, one of the things
that I love about Chris' performance,
and I love so many things,
is that, you know,
he can actually kind of put on
his captain's hat,
and that's what he's doing there
when he's basically saying,
-"Now is not the time for diplomacy."
-That's right.
You're like, "Wow,
this guy's actually very bright."
That was the hardest thing to come up
with, remember, in casting this part.
You know, some people were good
at playing rebel.
Some people were good at delivering
captain's dialogue.
-Nobody was good at doing both.
-Yeah, Chris could sort of do
