Re: Star Trek: Retribution
@evil_genius: there's actually some pretty significant symbolism there. Remember that in Specter, we learned that the ISS Voyager was outfitted with Borg weaponry and, by implication of the sound effect during a pan from it to the Fitzgerald (remember the exterior shot as Prentice made his log entry after Reyf beamed over), other unspecified Borg technology as well. The chase scene at the end implied that its shields were all but impenetrable, and beneath that was a hull with the kind of armor that "could probably survive a trip through a sun."
It may stretch credibility a bit, but the symbolism with the use of Borg-combat shots is that the ISS Voyager is just about as hard to beat tactically as a Borg cube. (In fact, if you read the spoiler for the next film, you know that this is an important fact indeed.)
