It's my recollection as well, but I've only seen it once yet.

Re: The title card scene!
Ah... Thats what I thought at first.. Thanks. That whole scene happened pretty fast with the music playing, I couldn't catch what Kirk and Bones were saying.. Kirk did hang it up the tree branch during the chase and thats when some of them stopped chasing him. Such an interesting looking species which were never before seen in Star Trek I think...

Re: The title card scene!
I can think of some folks in the TOS forum who would have bowed down to the graven image, too.
What I found charming was that it's what so many of us old fanboys did after we first saw the show.
We tried to draw the ship.

They'd have argued about where to draw the turbolift on top.

I think the Nibiru tribe were drawing it and saying "There's no way that thing is over 400m long!"

Re: The title card scene!
Loved it. The humor, the fast pace and especially the score. I really disliked the last score because it was repetitive, but the music in this one is much better- I think he had more to work with this time. But yeah, the Enterprise has the same shape from the top as from the bottom, so it's not really that big of a deal to me.

Re: The title card scene!
The Nibiru natives were looking down on the Enterprise from a clifftop as she rose out of the water.
They likely DID see the top of here.

Re: The title card scene!
Am I the only one who found the visual effects of the ship rising from the ocean a bit lacking and an enormous missed opportunity? We get a few seconds of nice footage, then a blocked close-up view of the deflector, and that's it.
Maybe they realised how silly it might have looked and thought 'less is more'

Re: The title card scene!
The natives drawing the ship was amusing, even if they really shouldn't have had the birds eye view of it as mentioned earlier. Though the ship in the water sequence was just silly and pointless. If I had to guess, they only threw it in as a red herring regarding the subsequent crash scenes in the movie during the trailers. And of course because someone though "Let's have the ship come out of the WATER. How cool would that be?!"

Re: The title card scene!
Kirk was trying to get them away from the volcano. So he notices a revered artifact, steals it, and runs, thus, getting them away from the volcano.
When the natives are well enough away, he leaves the scroll.

Re: The title card scene!
This is the ONLY reason for that scene. Having the Enterprise in orbit would have been fine. They could beam to the surface without raising suspicions. Hell, they could have even beamed Spock into the volcano (after all, didn't they establish they only needed line-of-sight for transport?).
Yes, but technically-speaking, running a mile downwind of a super-volcano that's about the erupt isn't going to save anyone.
