Christmas came early for Daniel lmao!!
Four decks on the outer saucer rim, count em, FOUR
By God thats a big ship

High on my wishlist for Star Trek 3 (if it ever comes) is for Scotty to look directly at the audience and say "She's 700 meters long, laddie."

"Sorry I'm late Mister Scott, I'm having trouble getting used to a ship this big."

"Aye she's damn near a kilometer long laddie, first week here we're all lucky to find the nearest bathroom in time."

"Do ye have annee idea how ridiculous it is to hide a 700-meter-long starship on the bottom of the ocean?"

I would buy it!

Agree.

Just realised that's a pinball chute down the spine of the saucer!

Nah that's the Helter Skelter Slide.

I like the diagram as everything fits and looks correct scale wise.

I was so tempted but I decided not to go there, then I changed my mind but Lord Garth beat me to it.

There's also a Mr Fusion at the tail end of the Nacelles.

The ship is like 200m long at most - didn't you guys see the two dudes walking by it when its on the ground?! :P

Going by what can be seen in that still image and the real-life dimensions of the Pastoria Energy Facility used as a filming location for the scene, the Engineering hull alone must be in excess of 200m long.

^^Going by the vanishing point and those two dudes walking by, they have to be equal to the midpoint of the secondary hull. Meaning that they would have trouble standing in that little ventral cutout part. Also, the size of the shuttle is almost half the diameter of the secondary hull, which makes how it appears later on in both movies - with about 20 shuttles stacked either side, all the more irrational :P

It's not the biggest deal, its just a dumb goof in the movie. Its just Deck 72 at the top of a shaft was at worst a misprint - this is scaling the entire ship differently in different shots :P

Dramatic licence. The ship was shrunk to look good over the location. In the shot where Kirk rides up on his bike, you can see two different sizes of catwalk beneath the saucer, and that the people working on the hull wouldn't fit in the exposed decks.

JJ also used a kid to show Kirk running into the Delta Vega cave (and a kid Nero and kid Klingons in deleted scenes), it doesn't mean that he's supposed to be 3' tall.

There is a difference between scaling inconsistencies and filming techniques. I mean, its plainly obvious the ship was simply scaled up from its original design just by looking at the windows.

Neither harm the movie, but one of them is a goof. Ever watched Movie mistakes on BBC3? Its exactly the kind of thing they'd point out.
