First off, I loved the film. Good origin story, and opens up the door to new stories.
That said, some really small detail stuff was bugging me. And I'm talking about really minor stuff.
At the Academy, with Kirk and McCoy there for three years, there was no indication of this on their uniforms. If I were the costuming designer, I would have utilized the epaulets a little more and given them some form of rank ID to show that they were both Second Class (third year) cadets.
Also, with Kirk's promotion, I would have had the officers replace the aforementioned cadet insignia with those of a Captain. I know Kirk was still in his Cadet uniform, and the rank system was played a little fast and loose here despite Pike formally promoting Kirk to first officer, but surely something could have been done to solidify the rank for that ceremony.
Ditto for Pike's Admiral duds, even though it's inferred. Looked nice, though.
And even though they were shown mostly during the scenes on the Enterprise, it would have been nice to see the classic uniforms more. But I'm sure we'll see them again soon enough.
