The ship was, 1,088 ft (332 m) long, 990 ft (302 m), Beam:282 ft (86 m), 130 ft (40 m) wide. The Enterprise D, or otherwise, would need to be a really big ship.

There were some enormous interior shots of the Enterprise. And it does seem that they have diverged from the original timeline. Ships in the day of Kirk's father shouldn't have been anywhere near that large. Some people have explained the new Star Trek as a reboot that diverges from the original because of time travel. But it seems that Abrams simply took the original timeline and supersized it. Not that I mind at all. I noticed the same thing. There were some enormous interior shots of the Enterprise.

After watching it, i wasn't sure I'd want it in IMAX. space battles probably, but the rest of the movie, probably not. The scale thing is really worrisome for me. I mean jeez what size we talking here? LOL I did love the Abrams-esque touchs. The Slusho reference, and now I know what the big red ball in alias was, it was just WAY ahead of it's time How was the IMAX experience.
