NOKW - Star Trek

Here comes the next chapter in our "I'm Okay With, I'm Not Okay With" series (if you don't know what this is, click here for all of the past posts):

Movie:  Star Trek (2009)

Basic Plot:  The reboot of the Star Trek franchise starts out with a young Jim Kirk working his way up to the captain of the Enterprise as well as introducing us to all of the other re-cast characters.

I'm Okay With:  The fact that when Kirk's dad flew his ship into the bad guy's ship at the beginning, the bad guys should have still been able to fire on the unarmed escape pods.  The fact that those escape pods probably floated through space for a really long time until someone rescued them and a lot of people should have died.  The fact that when young Kirk drove his step-dad's car off of a cliff, there is no way that he should have been able to stop his momentum before going over with the car.  The fact that every Star Fleet recruit would have been required to go to Kirk's hearing when he cheated on that test.  The fact that anybody survived that space jump onto the bad guys' space drill.  The fact that Spock thought shooting Kirk in a pod onto a ice-covered planet was logical.  The fact that Kirk flees into the one cave on that ice-covered planet where future Spock was hiding.  The fact that Nero and his minions seem to just disappear for 25 years without any explanation.  The fact that it took only Kirk and Spock to successfully infiltrate a Romulan mining ship, rescue the Enterprise's captain, and steal future Spock's ship.  The fact that Kirk knew that blowing up the red matter would create a black hole and they still parked the Enterprise way too close to the explosion only to miraculously escape.

I'm Not Okay With:  The fact that it is never explained how Nero knew exactly where and when future Spock would show up.  Sure, I can somewhat understand on them figuring out where Spock would show up because maybe it would be in the same place that he went into the black hole, but as to the when, I am really confused.  Did they just sit in that spot for 25 odd years?  Because that is insane.  I feel like you might be able to get over your grudge by then or at least think it through and figure out that maybe Spock isn't the one responsible.  Seriously, Nero was the captain of a mining ship, so how does that qualify him to work out some hardcore physics to figure out where Spock would show up.  And for that matter, what if he was wrong and Spock shows up millions of light years away?  What would he have done then?  What if Spock showed up 100 years later?  Nero and his crew would be dead and they would have been sitting in one spot for a really long time for nothing and his whole plan to make Spock suffer by blowing up Vulcan would have been down the toilet.  Nero was a madman and never should have been able to figure out Spock's location.  I am not okay with that.
