Star Trek was predominantly filmed with in warehouses, however spaceships are filmed on real life huge dustbins and edited away to look Sci-Fi like. They also used an element of CGI, however JJ Abrams (director) wanted to produce as much props as possible and edit them to make it look more life like and real. The scene in which contains the volcano was filmed via a helicopter, this shows that due to a large budget they can create a variety of camera angles to put empathy with in the scene. CGI however wasn't used for the spaceship scene when Khan comes to attack Starfleet because Abrams wanted it to be more lifelike. The 1000 watts of electricity was used for a few seconds in a scene, this will have cost a lot of money from the budget for a few seconds, however due to large sum of money they have for this film they are able to splash out on accessories and novelties to make the film so much more real.
Star Trek Producers (Paramount) hired a dialect coach, in order for the role of Uhura to ensure the 'alien' language was perfectly produced and pronounced. A British company wouldn't afford this due to the lack of budget, and therefore this makes Star Trek widely successful once again due to the huge budget.
The first 2 minutes of the film shows Captain Kirk and Doctor running through a 'jungle' made from entirely red painted trees, and yes they were painted, by hand. The set managers spent months preparing and producing hundreds and hundreds of trees each with a couple dozen branches and millions of leaves. Without the scale of budget Star Trek had, this wouldn't have been possible at all, as it was very time consuming and costly.
Star Trek used IMAX camera for 30 minutes of the film
