I had many of the same questions. I think people were so moved by the technical achievements of the film, and the emotions of a final connection between two iconic characters, that they just went with all the other confusing aspects of the film which are not immediately coherent.

It's the second of a four-part arc in which Colt was sent into an alternate future (765854 is Colt's serial number - and all of the OTOY productions have started with that number, they have all featured Colt in some way).

The Betelgeusian Kelvin timeline time soldier Yor (as seen in Star Trek Discovery) brings Kirk to meet Spock at the final moments of his death on New Vulcan.

It also features an older Saavik and her son Sorak (who is meant to be Saavik & Spock's son - ie. when Spock was in the throes of Pon Farr in Star Trek III).

Not sure about Gary Mitchell but maybe an older, wiser all-powerful Gary Mitchell resurrected Kirk?

That's all I got from that. And these helped.

This is by far the best commentary I’ve seen on the storyline of this video. Bingo. 🤣

Happy New Year. It was brilliant, but I don't get it either and I've looked at some of the making of too. Was it just because they could?
