I think it's pretty cool that even in times of desperation, everybody still has the decency to address the navigator and helmsman as "Mr. Chekov" and "Mr. Sulu". Nice touch and a great homage to tone of the television shows

[@captaincoyote1792]

Actually, they are not displaying “decency”, “Mister” is a common title bestowed upon junior officers (JOs, Ensign, LTjg, LT, LCDR) by their senior command officers (usually the XO and CO). Roddenberry loosely based his ranks on the US Navy rank system, and our Navy’s ranks originated from the Royal Navy. In the days of sail, using the term “Mister” was a way for the Captain to enforce upon the Junior wardroom members that they were not only Officers, but “gentlemen” as well…they were senior and “separate” from the common deck sailors. So, in this example, both Chekhov and Sulu are Junior Officers, thus the “Mr.” in front of their last name. And while Captain Kirk would address Spock and Scotty as Mr. Spock and Mr. Scott, they would never in turn, address their Captain as “Mr. Kirk”. If you did, you’d likely find yourself standing some extra mid-watches!. It was always odd to me that the JOs on Star Trek addressed Spock as Mr. Spock, versus XO. You may recall the pilot, where Majel Barrett (later Nurse Chapel), played “Number One”….and old Royal Navy term for the First Officer in command beneath the Commanding Officer. They did revive the Number One title, as CDR Riker was often referred to by Captain Picard.

An accidental callback actually. The franklin originally had the nacelles underneath the saucer, more akin to a Miranda class but without the roll bar.

Granted, none of that lore made it into canon format and is changeable, but it still means you've gotta explain why Admiral Archer (Who is still alive at this point) handed the keys to his beloved ship to a complete jackass who didn't believe ANY of the philosophy he fought so hard to uphold.

During falling, gravity is acting. So they are in forward leaning position.
As soon as the thrusters are fired, they experience the inertia, and thus get pushed back into their chair.

[@saiintFPS]

the ship is falling not flying, humans fall faster than the ship ergo they lean forward until the thrusters fire.

[@JB-uo9tn]

Because the people who wrote this scene clearly had no clue about Newtonian physics.
The crew should've become weightless the moment the starship broke free and started to fall. Because all objects, whether they are feathers, people or starships, fall with the same gravitational acceleration. In this scene, only when the air starts to slow the starship down (which is when it reaches terminal velocity) will the ship accelerate at a less rate then the people inside - meaning the crew would gradually start leaning forward in their seatbelts.
With all due respect, this was one of the worst Star Trek movies I've seen - and yes, I have been a Trekkie for decades.

You're implying air resistance had nothing to do with it. The ship wasn't falling in a vacuum and was meeting air resistance which they weren't. Therefore their individual acceleration would have been greater than the ships hence why they fell forward in their seats

[@correlfreehand9454]

[@robrussell5329]

What you describe is, in fact, a "Jump," as in, "can I get a jump?" (when your battery is dead.)
A "Jump Start" is something different... it' was once a well known way to start a manual transmission car. It can only be done with a manual transmission. The driver puts the stick into 1st gear and depresses the clutch pedal, giving the car free reign. Another person (or persons...) push the car from behind as fast as possible, then the driver "pops the clutch" (quickly lets out the pedal). This puts the car into gear and jerks (jumps) the transmission which turns the engine crankshaft and hopefully starts the engine. We used to do it all the time with those old VW Beetles. A guy could get around fine for a month with a dead battery, so long as he had a buddy with him (or parked on a hill).

The Jar Jar Abrams movies got worse with each iteration.

Ya know, technically this was a super unnecessary risk. Reaching terminal velocity is actually a super simple equation you just plug and play given variables they 100% would have had.

The reason this is all a callback to the prequel series _Enterprise_ is because that's the only Star Trek series that was unaffected by the Kelvin timeline switch..

[@deadturret4049]

The nx01 resemblance was apparently a coincidence. The Franklin's design was altered late into production to make the take-off sequence work (nacelles were originally under the saucer) and it ended up looking like an enterprise era nx ship largely by happenstance.
Also, while the NX registry on the Franklin is most likely a callback, its not unique to ST: Enterprise. The USS Excelsior from Star Trek 3 was originally registed as NX-2000.

I can’t take mr sulu actor seriously. All I hear is is famous line from American pie. “Milf!” 😂🤣

Seems like Star Trek and Star Wars are making their hero ships practically indestructable, able to.smash into.terraim and not shatter into a million pieces.

USS Franklin lore states the ship got caught in a wormhole displacement..

Ben Franklin, an old friend of the families of the Adams. The last few moments of this clip you can hear an church bell pealing. The sound of Freedom and Justice, if you may.

Cliche. And there's no churches in Star Trek, thankfully. Humanity evolved past that.

It doesn't make sense BUT it's interesting.

[@andrewbutton2039]

Ah yes, jumpstarting a matter/antimatter reaction, on a century old spaceship designed to operate exclusively in space and quite frankly doesnt have any business being in an atmosphere (to say nothing about it having actually landed on a planet somehow) by throwing it off a mountain to get up to a certain speed for some random space engine part to work, makes so much sense.

Fusion engine not matter-antimatter , also Enterprise has been shown doing atmospheric flight in the " Tomorrow is yesterday " episode.

[@andrewbutton2039]

@@cyborghobo9717 I fail to see how it being fusion powered makes the slightest difference. The 1701 Enterprise example is fair enough, and a contemporary to the Franklin, the NX-01, did some atmospheric flight and combat after getting shot full of holes
