* The part with Kirk in the corridor after he shakes Krall and his men for a moment is haunting. Between the dim lights, [[HellIsThatNoise the groaning of metal in the background]], [[JitterCam the trembling camera]], the tilting corridors, and [[OhCrap the realization]] that [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything the grandest ship of the fleet is going down]] and there's nothing her captain or anyone can do to save her, you'd be forgiven if you were reminded of the ''{{Film/Titanic|1997}}'' for a second. Kirk's expression as he finally gives Sulu the order to {{abandon ship}} and looks over at Syl and her group seals it. Kirk's [[AdultFear fear]] of losing lives under his command has come true yet again.

* The AdultFear presented without words by the attack on Yorktown: Sulu ''knows'' what Krall is capable of, and his husband and little girl are on that station.

* The scale and sheer ferocity of the swarm attack that wrecks the ''Enterprise''.
** Especially when compared to the much less brutal crash sequence seen in ''[[Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness Into Darkness]]''. Krall and his swarm absolutely mutilates her before, as Krall puts it, ''cutting her throat''. We get to see every bit of destruction done to the ship and hear every metallic clang and groan of her death throes as she goes down.
** The fact that the ''Enterprise'', Starfleet's most advanced ship at the time, literally fired everything head on at the swarm and it didn't even slow them down at all as it just keeps coming closer. Realizing that this wasn't even an enemy that can be slowed down at all from such a barrage makes the scene terrifying.
** And all of this was with Krall just trying to ''disable'' the ship, not actually destroy it. Had Krall actually wanted to destroy the ''Enterprise'' from the get-go, his swarm could probably have totally obliterated the ship in the blink of an eye.

* [=McCoy=] stops to help a drained but still alive crewmember after the ''Enterprise'' is boarded; the tricorder visibly shows his skeleton and internal organs disintegrating as [=McCoy=] watches.

* [[BigBad Krall]]. Even beyond that he's a completely psychopathic warlord, he's not a new species; ''[[WasOnceAMan humanity]]'' produced an ''abomination''.
** The way he drains people of their energy while they struggle, scream, and are clearly in horrific pain. Legitimately one of the most disturbing things ever shown in any ''Franchise/StarTrek'' media.

** Considering how Krall extends his lifespan by literally sucking the life force out of other organic beings, it should be pretty simple to guess what happened to them. Not that it makes it any less frightening.
** He does specify they were all killed in the log ''prior'' to him crossing the MoralEventHorizon and utilizing the alien technology, meaning they could have died of any number of conditions.
*** There wasn't much time that passed between the ''Franklin'' crashing and Edison's final log. The entire crew but three died, and although it's later discovered that Starfleet couldn't have done anything, the thought that your crew is dropping dead because your bosses don't care is horrifying. Krall inflicted on Jaylah and his other prisoners a similar situation to what he experienced a century before.
