** What's worse is how [[spoiler: ''fast'' [[spoiler:''fast'' he has to make that choice. It all happens in ''30 seconds''!]]
* The scene where [[spoiler: the Enterprise [[spoiler:the ''Enterprise'' is falling into Earth's atmosphere.]] atmosphere]]. [[GravityScrew People are falling through the ship's levels]], and they're either crashing into things like walls, ramps, and ramps and, well, THINGS. Or having things fall on them. Imagine hanging on for dear life and something - or someone - smashes something--or someone--smashes into you. Yikes.
** [[FromBadToWorse It gets worse.worse]]. We get a quick shot of the shuttle bay, with shuttles getting tossed around like toy cars while the crew is attempting to AbandonShip. They can't even escape while the ship is tumbling like that. Even ''Film/StarshipTroopers'' didn't have as unnerving a SinkingShipScenario as this film pulls off.off.

* The scene where [[spoiler: the Enterprise is falling into Earth's atmosphere.]] People are falling through the ship's levels, and they're either crashing into things like walls, ramps, and well, THINGS. Or having things fall on them. Imagine hanging on for dear life and something - or someone - smashes into you. Yikes.
