I remember in the theater wondering why Sulu didn't invert the ship to line up better with the angled doors, and buy a few extra seconds.

This makes me wish that TMP hadn’t existed and Wrath of Khan was the first and then this design was destroyed in ST2 to be replaced in ST3. Then we could have had two totally different 4 and 5 movies before ending as before with 6 The Undiscovered Country. 3 would be the one with the bloody whales in it but wouldn’t be dedicated to Challenger because would have been filmed 1984.

The stolen enterprise had battle damage from Kahns attack. Missomg in this video

Sweet! This is my Enterprise ❤!

Could have opened the space doors with an aft photon torpedo.😀

The original Enterprise was designed by Gene, upside down. It took some convincing to flip it.

First time ever you get to see USS enterprise ncc- 1701 you get to see it look move fIy in like real starship going into space dock like going in for real.

I really like the moment the sun for the first time shines on those TOS warp nacelles

It would have made more sense if it was *this* ship Admiral Morrow was describing. That scene would have brought about a lot more emotion in addition to not being allowed back to Genesis.

Seeing the TOS Enterprise run from the Excelsior is pretty powerful. Well done!

"How can you have yellow alert in Spacedock?"

One more coat of paint and Enterprise was not making it through those doors! Awesome!

That makes the Excelsior look even more imposing. lol

The last time they automated all the systems on Enterprise, the computer went doolally and started shooting at othet Federstion ship's.

EXCELLENT!!! i never was a fan of the refit!! But 'm old!

Really nice, so much better then that CGI recreation they forced on us several years ago.

Excellent.

Excellent. Would love to see you put the Original Enterprise through the V'Ger scenes.

Still can't understand why she just didn't go out of space dock foward instead of backing her out 😮

Sir someone is stealing the Yorktown!

He’ll never sit in the captain’s chair again…

Love the shot of the TOS viewscreen.

That was so awesome!!!!

Wow! The single antimatter containment vessels at the rear of the nacelles; that must be original footage!

Jesus, I love it😊

Nicely done. I nearly cried hearing Enterprise's warp engines spool up.

This is pretty good

You gotta re make now that new tech has come out, great job though anyways

One of the episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation could've shown if there had been some Constitution Class Starships that haven't been redesigned and refitted because of being decommissioned.

Didn't Spock commandeer the Enterprise to go to Talos IV during the original five year mission-TOS?

why did you leave Excelsior in the shots? it would had looked more to the TOS era if it had been a Dreadnought Not Excelsior

It would be even better if you replaced the Excelsior with a Federation class dreadnought (Franz Josef designs, from the original technical manual.)

As much as I know the refit Enterprise/ Enterprise - A is beloved by so many… I’ve never really been the biggest fan of it… and this video is an example of why. The first 3 movies would have been even MORE amazing If the original enterprise was in it instead of the refit.

That is amazing ❤❤😮

The doors Scotty... aye sir...I'm working on it

Bravo !

I would have added the blue light behind the deflector dish. Otherwise, perfect job!

The Enterprise in SFS was the battered refit of the same class of ship. I'm singularly impressed with this version.

This was some excellent compositing work. Well done!

I love this!

Love it the original ST-3 with the original enterprise subed in nice !

I know what you grew up with, Enterpise A with square nacelles, this is my Enterprise. you took the real enterprise into another famous movie

The one that was upgraded so...time travel too?

Loved it - great job! The original scene in ST-III was one of my favorite parts of the movie - plus, the phenomenal soundtrack!

Well done. I enjoyed it. Would like to see more of the classic Enterprise incorporated into other scenes

Where is the battle damage?

I was genuinely caught up the way I am when watching the normal scenes. Thank you for all the work you put into this.

Great little video showing the beautiful original ship, but XXXX I really can't be doing with all the 'fanfare' music from TMP!

Now imagine if when the motion picture came out, they made the decision to state the Enterprise now was a new ship not a refit making no mention of what became of the original 1701. So by the time search for Spock rolled around what if they stole the original TV series enterprise not being able use the movie Enterprise stealing it from the fleet museum or maybe even better a Federation scrapyard just before it’s scuttled when Kirk went to the genesis planet. In pursuit by the Excelsior or even the other Enterprise itself. As gut wrenching as watching the Enterprise explode over Genesis and disintegrating in orbit was I think it would have been even more impactful if the Enterprise was in its original design. That would have fixed so many nerdy inconsistencies within the universe and would’ve just been everything to see on screen.

Not perfect but awesome....
