I do remember his riding it beside a runway with plans taking off. Not really Enterpise scale but it did happen. Still I am old and my memory is not what it once was so maybe I missed something.
I actually would have preferred if they built the Enterprise in space, but that is just because it is what I expected. I would get bored quick if everyone did what i expected so it doesn't bother me, I think the film looks great and I trust it works well in the story so that is alright. I think that is a great shot of him riding up to it.
Sorry to interrupt the bashing, please continue....

thanks for the link.
What a strange pre-order price for the Enterpise toy. $35.09 :confused
I don't get the.09:rolleyes

The Willamette Valley NEEDS the rain or else they won't be able to produce good wine. No force fields!

You do realize that by dropping a 1966 Vette down a chasm JJ Abrams and team may be expressing a metaphor of what they intend to do to the original TOS with their rework and reboot since TOS came out in 66? Yeah, I'm reaching but you never know.
Still, if this is what it takes to make Trek exciting again then drop away.

I never thought of that, but that could be what they are saying. Interesting! :lol

Ha!
That's an interesting catch...and just the kind of smug thumb-nosing I wouldn't be surprised to find intentional.
But even if it's coincidence or even a cinematic Freuidan slip, it certainly seems a relevant metaphor for us ol;' skool Trekkies.

Now that I LIKE!
The metaphoric idea - not the fact JJ think's he's justified to do such.
Very well thought out!

Yeah, I find stuff like that. It used to drive my English and Lit professors insane.
That sounds about right - and guess what, there's not a new car on the market as beautiful as a 66 vette... even when they try to remake the older cars they get it wrong.

I don't recall whether or not the actual (supposed) size was mentioned in here, but http://www.experience-the-enterprise.com/ww/ in that site it says 2500 feet long.

Well, if the Kelvin had 800 people on board and in TNG, the Ent-D had 1000.....
I guess by the time the alternate TNG universe comes along the ENT-D will have 4000 in her. Let's just hope that her Captain won't be tea toatiling French man who surrenders on his maiden voyage to the first opponent he comes across! :lol
