I have always reacted to these scenes as well. And I don't know why this isn't brought up on other places on the Internet.
I have been shooting stills and motion picture, on an amature level of course, for a long time now. So I am not unfamiliar with focal length, hyperfocal and other focus techniques.
What we see in these scenes makes no sense at all.
Since it goes like this:
Cut to Spock -》in focus -》Cut to Spock Prime -》in focus -》cut back to young spock -》in focus -》and cut to older spock -》NOT in focus.
This is no technique...it must be a mistake.
If they shot this movie withba 3d camera it mifgt have to do something with that perhaps.
The blur looks weird for one. Almost looks like you are trying to watch a 3d movie without the glasses.
