Question in regards to the new opening. The date shows 2270 when Kirk and Crew arrive at Earth with the Enterprise in preparation for it's refit. Shouldn't the date be a little earlier than that since V'Ger shows up in 2271? Kirk has been out of a starship for two and a half years before he took command of the Enterprise again, so shouldn't the date be about two years earlier when they dock the Enterprise? Like 2268 or 2269?

Is that you on YouTube too? Here's what I put there:

There are debates as to when exactly TMP takes place, apparently. I like the 5 year mission to be 2265-2270 myself, which brings them home in 2270 as in my video. I've read any year in the early 2270s, but I like 2273 myself (if we did the year on screen, that's what I'm going to suggest after the credits roll).

Memory Alpha gives any year between 2272 and 2277 for the date of TMP. No one knows, apparently. Besides, its just a mockup. None of this is set in stone. We could leave the year just as vague as it is now.

Quotes from MemoryAlpha:

There is some controversy over the dating of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The earliest the film could take place is late 2272 (based on information from VOY: "Q2", which stated that Kirk's first five-year mission ended in 2270, and information within the film that Kirk had not "logged a single star hour in two-and-a-half years." The latest the film could take place is 2277, since the Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan style uniforms are in use by 2278. (TNG: "Cause and Effect")
