The low-detail version is too low and wide and has a photo of the bridge set behind it.

The bridge window changes shape and size throughout the first two movies. The very first “under construction” teaser used the 725m size.Īt Starbase One in Earth orbit, the Enterprise is 1200m long, which is the size that fits the CG shuttlebay model which like the classic Enterprise and Voyager, the shuttlebay is way too big (Into Darkness shuttlebay pictured from ILM VFX reels, although slightly different from the ST'09 shuttlebay it’s made to the same scale) Trickery is used where there are walkways under the saucer for both 366m and 725m sizes, and the guy walking along the walkway wouldn’t fit on the exposed decks. As a result all the different sizes actually do appear at different times in the movie although the finer external detailing all points to 725m.Īt the Riverside shipyard, the Enterprise is 366m long, which fits it neatly over the Pastoria Energy Facility location they used. Throughout the movie’s development, the ship’s scale fluctuated, first 366 meters long, then 1200 meters long, at some points 718 and 762 and then finally 725 meters long. But as the story goes, the shuttlecraft were made a lot bigger than initially expected (12m long) and in order to fit the them and the mammoth beer brewery location used for engineering inside, the ship was scaled up accordingly. This new movie USS Enterprise NCC-1701 was designed by Ryan Church to be 366m long. The version of the Enterprise in the Kelvin universe? 725 meters long.


And even if only a few noticed it, they were very opinionated.įor reference, the original series USS Enterprise was 289m long and the refitted classic movie version 305m - although like all fictitious places there’s a lot of movie magic going on and the insides never really fit inside very well.

One of the many controversial changes made in the 2009 Star Trek reboot was one probably only a few tech obsessed die-hards noticed or cared about: The size of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701.
