Dealing with the warhead was a bit unimaginative, but given the requirement to merge the remastered scenes with the original footage they didn't have a lot of leeway. Kudos to the remastering team for not obliterating original scenes wholesale, just for the sake of a little digital eye-candy.

This is so crappy. An intro animation to a late-1990s PC game looks better. Lifeless, dull, badly animated. That movement of the Enterprise at the beginning is just too fake, dimensionless. I prefer the original effects anytime.
Well, the moon is the fifth largest sattelite in the Solar System. Considering that Jupiter has like 63 moons, that the moon comes in fifth is pretty impressive.
Granted, but I think the moon is considered big compared to other sattelites of terrestrial planets in the solar system- a going theory is that the moon was only created due to a collision with another world billions of years ago when the solar system was still forming. So it MAY be that the Earth and its moon are relatively unusual. Or perhaps not- I major in history not astrophysics andas such I may be talking crap.
Well, I I MUST take credit for that.....Then credit I'll take. At only 2% of Earth's volume though, I highly doubt the moon qualifies. Charon maybe, but not Luna.
Yep; you got me- I guess I do care. OK: A Binary planet (actually more commonly referred to as a 'double planet', so yes; I made a little mistake) is a planetary system where the barycenter (the centre of mass) of their rotation lies in space between the two objects, eg: Pluto and Charon. Some also say that any terrestrial planet with a large enough moon is also a double planet, eg: The Earth and the Moon. So, you may be living on a binary world.

They should've let ILM do the VFX for ST Remastered.

I was hoping they'd fix those ridiculous fake-looking whip marks on Kirk's back.

You bring out my inner nerd.

You MUST, or you wouldn't have responded. Don't blame me because you have no grasp of simple astrosphysics. Blame your school.
