Well, considering the last time Kirk was promoted in the Kelvin Timeline, he jumped all five of the other line officer ranks to get to captain, jumping two would show the Office of the Admiralty had learned some restraint...

 

Wow to quote a quote from another quote

Spoiler

It raise questions for me as well, but my brother made a good point saying that the Pips of Commodore or Rear Admiral was not introduced sooner than TNG. That might be the whole issue in this problem. I might be wrong and he just could skip ranks lol

So back to my review  Saw it today!

Spoiler

There a few things I did not like about the movie:

• As said before, for every problem there was a solution and I got to agree that it was a bit annoying on the end. Thought at the same time you saw the introduction of creativity, so don't know if they wanted to balance it.
• Big minus was the Enterprise getting destroyed again, it really gets annoying and that was actually the main objection for me to no go towards the movie. At the last minute changed my mind and went for it anyway. Thought it brought another annoyance point up, the USS Enterprise-A, while I don't mind that the upgrade version was given the ship had been destroyed a few times so the A should already been passed?
• The lack of explanation into how the bad guy survive so long. Yes ancient technology that length his life, but how? Who were those that fought for him?

Things that I do like about the movie:

• It give a new perspective in starbases for sure, but the Yorktown was a whole new level that both my brother and I made twitch our eyes. I was stunned on the size and the way it interacted with ships. Maybe something for simming?
• The interaction of the characters, I like the struggle with emotions, thoughts and reactions on certain factors.
• The respect of bringing the NX era in the end of the movie made me smile, as a huge fan of the NX serie I was glad to see that the new movie told something about it.
• The USS Franklin and its crew, love the design and seeing Spock in the uniform did it for me!
