That's kinda my take on it too. There's no way you would have noticeable parallax movement or rotation when looking at a galaxy. That thing is rather close and small.
That's a good technical observation. But did the Hollywood fx artists know that? The opening credits on
Star Trek: Voyager famously show a ringed planet with the ship reflected in the rings, and it makes this "gas giant" about the size of four Walmart parking lots. They don't always understand the geometry when they paint these space shots.
If I didn't know better I'd suggest JJ Abrams was involved!
Not enough lens flare.
That's similar to the stock Enterprise-in-orbit shots in the original series. I always saw them as a stylized representation of a spaceship orbiting a planet. If those shots were visually literal, the Enterprise would be several hundred miles long and turned 90 degrees on its roll axis.
The Rishi Maze, I think.
TNG did have a matte painting from “Buck Roger’s in the 25th Century.” A domed base?
Still moving too fast.
