[@Laeadern]

Aww, no DS9 Sacrifice of Angels...that's one of the most awesome space battles of all time imo.

[@elmarcus300]

This Music....i remember it from somewhere..... OH YES!! BATTLESTAR GALACTICA!! Love that music!!

[@schwarzerritter5724]

Finally realistic space battles. You can't hear any of the sounds.

[@TheHazelnoot]

if you watched a sci-fi show, and there was no sound in the battles, would you honestly watch it? :P

[@schwarzerritter5724]

The Hazelnoot Of course not.

[@TheHazelnoot]

sometimes unrealistic is better then :D

[@redninja7778]

6:51 what are those ships called

[@TheHazelnoot]

i think they are from starship troopers, but i dont know their names :I

[@counterstriker500]

Adama and Picard must've gone to the same school, considering they both rammed something with their ship.

[@bujoun76]

Love the BSG music. Always epic under any circumstances...!

[@AMPoverlord]

Great choice of clips. I was very happy to see some of my favorites in here as well.

[@tothemaxx1991]

WHAT IS ALL THIS BADASSERY?!?

[@MTL-ew7ng]

Nothing like a good battle! Be it space or on the ground!

[@iconknowclast]

I could not agree more. Exodus has to be the best episode of an iconic series.

[@WUZLE]

Nemesis did make the ships seem actually BIG. No swooping around like fighters, which I appreciated a great deal. The best space battles ever put on film are the one in In The Perkinning, in my opinion.

[@kuribo1]

+WUZLE That is what I noticed as well, big ass cruisers just do not move like the rest of the little bumble bees in this video. These are big ships which need big space to do anything. Different looking fights indeed.

[@mikeefc829]

BSG has got to be the greatest sci-fi series ever, i though star wars couldn't be bettered till i watched every episode of BSG, great acting, great story, simple and some epic battle scenes and bob dylan too boot..awesome

[@ionicafardefric]

for me, the best scene was when Galactica dropped into atmosphere to rescue some crew left on a colony. Unfortunatelly you didn't include it, and I can't blame you for it. It was more dependant on the context, but still epic

[@wilsonsoong]

The last part was badass

[@homebuiltindoorplane]

That was fantastic!

[@0ma11y]

I was not expecting to see Iron Sky right away....

[@Safeguard1]

I don't remember any space battles in Avatar.

[@MoodMan35]

That's right, but the was a battle in the sky, not in space :) So you have right about that :)

[@mikeyocum167]

Excellent!

[@Blackheartrises]

Normally, I could care less for added music but this was epic. It was like, we are dying here. Plus you included the scene that caused me a few man tears, Galactica basically dying after her last "jump." She was dying and she still brought her children home. Good job.

[@GargleMyMayonaze]

Came for space explosions. Stayed because... IT'S IN THE FRAKING SHIP!

[@rogerwilco2]

A very nice compilation.

[@WhimsicalPete]

love that firefly battle

[@radstockrecording4136]

majestic

[@Makrokosmos]

The battle at the resurrection ship was the best.

[@antonjoseph3307]

Best video soundtrack. Awesome montage!

[@ZekeTheAlien]

I liked it, very cool. cool music to go with it. very cool

[@R3C0i11]

Brilliant video,enjoyed it a lot :-)

[@MrMinerGuy142]

Iron Sky, lol I remember that, odd movie, but amazing effects!

[@timtimco3811]

Good job!

[@momobeyond4464]

this is an awesome vid

[@vlweb3d]

*SO SAY WE ALL !!!*

[@vlweb3d]

Stephen Byrne You do not know the significance of that statement. You are obviously not a BattleStar Galactica fan. Good day.

[@elgitano5329]

man.. miss it.

[@closetedskye4026]

Epic!

[@Wolfen443]

Iron Sky is in it, YEAH. Battlestar Galactica too, of course Serenity as well. Starship Troopers was an awesome one as well but I was not as impressed with the one over Curascant in Star Wars, I prefer the one against the Second Death Star with the whole fleets deployed. Star Trek has gotten better with their Space battles lately, but missing from this list are Stargate, Space Above & Beyond and Babylon 5 too.

[@s.biertumpel3761]

yeah Space Above & Beyond and Babylon 5!!!! You´re sooo right man!

[@tuxedomask6772]

BSG (classic) is much better than the remake from 2004.

[@VicViperXxXxX]

We are forgetting Videoame star battles too Masseffect had a pretty good battle and some from the freespace series was good too , and least not forget star lancer

[@schmelzwah]

Thumbs up for the preference of second death star battle over Couracant battle alone.

[@doonglerules]

Iron Sky was surprisingly realistic, for a gag movie

[@alejambicho4982]

Good video and battles :)

[@michaelcross83]

Loved the Battlestar Galactica "Cylon Activation" Piano music in the beginning. That is among my most favorite soundtracks from the BSG series. That one and Gaeta's Lament.

[@Eliphas_Leary]

Frell, that's nice editing! Thank you very much, pal! :0)

[@annoyed707]

Throw in a Shadow cruiser, sit back and watch the fun!

[@snoopyshultz]

great vid

[@austinmorton3462]

woo star wars

[@RingoLoadagain]

Yesssss so glad you ended with some Star Trek!

[@experiment31]

BAttlestar galactica made me tear up... But it was FREAKING AWESOME

[@tommygunner176]

i wish this could be a live wallpaper on my desktop.

[@jimdurrell9038]

My favorite was the battlestar galactica scenes. I love that show

[@rsuffridge1]

Very nice and excellent choice in music. To date my fave battle is the BSG battle to evacuate New Caprica. From the time Galactica appeared burning in the sky until Pegasus took out those Basestars...epic! If you do another you might consider parts of Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning.

[@MrFbueller129]

Thank you

[@AxeMan562]

You know one battle I would've loved to see on this list? The first battle from Lost in Space (1997). I loved that movie when I was a kid

[@jolindar4007]

Schönes Video,gute Musik.

[@er1chawk]

Some of the Eve Online battles look massive/awesome....

[@thomasjones1801]

Thanks. Ill look into it

[@99brickstudios]

space battles are a great thing. but sometimes its not what happens in a battle that makes it great,its how you film it. (babylon 5 nailed it for me)

[@danielhaire6677]

I've never understood why in sci-fi movies, they have these deep space battles and are never in any kind of advanced space suit. In these scenes, many of those who aren't killed in on ship explosions die via being spaced without protection.

[@Makrokosmos]

i am a sucker for the flak barrages. Man, you don't wanan fly through those ^^

[@alejambicho4982]

Star wars 3 the best battlestar forever :) :) :)

[@galgacus832]

I liked everything except the Revenge of the Siith and Star Trek: Nemesis stuff. Both have too much I-hated-the-movie baggage for me. I was also surprised and pleased at the inclusion of Iron Sky footage. Whatever else you say about that movie, you can't deny it has an awesome space battle in it.

[@TAIIDEN]

Возможно это лучшие сцены из всех что есть на эту тему. Perhaps this is the best scene of all that is on this subject.

[@krashly71]

Yep I read those books, and B5 used Mass Drivers in some shows, but you would not even need the MAC rail itself if your ship is capable of near light speed, just a bucket of sand would impact enemy vessels with massive destruction, release it when moving towards enemy at near light speed, then drop velocity and let debris strike at that speed. Devastation.

[@sgtb27]

for a second In the beginning I forgot I was watching fiction and was like wtf do they have a fighter jet

[@patricksiegler5751]

My favorite was the battle of the bassen rift

[@trymetal95]

i would love to see a montage number two, you should include the stargate SG1 battle from season 9 ep 20 "camelot" and the battle from stagate Atlantis season 4 ep 11 "be all my sins remember'd". those were epic! there are also some epic space battles from Babylon 5 that's worth including!

[@michaelbaker5954]

Great job man. Its hard to beat any of the BSG battles though. They are by far my favorite, none grittier or more "realistic".

[@Alpharius93]

This video... this music... always sends me shivers down my spine. You made a great choice of music and clips! :) A new version of it could benefit from clips from the new Star Trek movies!

[@Alpharius93]

And from the newest EVE Online trailers too!

[@krashly71]

One of the most original and interesting uses of FTL concept, they even wrote in later episodes how much damage the ship had from the atmosphere drop, I think the new Star Trek Into Darkness includes an Enterprise free fall that reminds me of the BSG drop, hard to imagine the nacelles taking stress of the drop but who knows, but BSG looked solid enough to handle it.

[@un7t783]

Bro that Music 0__o

[@BlackhorseEdits]

I think if you play Saviour by Position Music right at 2:57 it syncs up awesomely

[@MoodMan35]

Cap. Picard and his crew fighting against Praetor Shinzon on the Scimitar and his crew hehe :) I have that movie on DVD here at home :p

[@wilbervazquez]

Me agrada la ciencia fixion ojala y suban mas videos😃😊😊

[@TheSmalltownhick]

I liked the Iron sky and Nemesis shots - Serenity, BSG, Star Wars and Starship Troopers are all over these space battle compilations. Not sure about the first two, though - pretty "tame" battles . . .

[@Boxfortress]

i think we can all agree that everyone who got sucked out into space during the fights were red-shirts

[@jire121]

opening sceen to farscape the peacekeeper wars is wicked too as a space battle

[@Warchgundamnow]

What a chaos

[@snoopqc1979]

Some battles from Stargate would have been good in this, like the battle of Camelot in SG1 and the battle of Asura in SG Atlantis. Good compilation by the way.

[@FrarmerFrank]

"Battle at Big K" was more like a one sided slaughter (Humans on he losing side)

[@phillipnunya6793]

very good choices, and put together in a very sensible order, however, it would been awesome instead of very good if it was HD. :)

[@LaugenEcke]

yeah Iron Sky! :D

[@snowboredsnj]

Hotdog said something like "well.. this should be different" didnt he?

[@MrFbueller129]

I'm very disappointed that there isn't a single scene from Babylon 5 on here considering that the show set the standard for space battle scenes in a sci-fi television series.

[@End37erwig1]

It might be just me, but can you make this available for mobiles? I actually use this video often to remind me of my engineering goals :) not the space battles, just the ideas of space. It would be nice to watch this during my class breaks haha

[@bouldy2]

I really liked stargate. Star trek I enjoyed. Babylon 5 I tried to watch it But it just felt like watching pure cheese and it was sooo corny i had to stop watching it. Battlestar galactica was fantastic Could not believed I missed it when it was out... PS your head is safe cause it is well put together by a good backing soundtrack ;)

[@krashly71]

I think the key to any good space battle is to suggest ship mass and size by slow, realistic movements that represent a huge metallic vessel maneuvering in zero G, meaning no fighter jet turning and stop on a dime dogfighting, there has to be scale and mass suggested through proper movement and velocity....thats what made battles in something like DS9 inferior to BSG, DS9 ships moved like F18s but were supposedly huge, B5 made the same error. Watch any DS9 battle at half speed and it works.

[@edypardoies3556]

BSG Music

[@phillipnunya6793]

ya just HAD to go weapons hot....didn't ya? did you consider space rocks? yeah, those things...

[@Denafalt]

I hate seeing fire in space movies when there is impossible for fire to exist in space... -.-

[@mikeyrt16]

The Scimitar battle... Really? That maybe scraps into the top ten greatest Star Trek battles. For shame.

[@doxide]

Dear God, please let this be our future.

[@TheHazelnoot]

i want to be cloned before though. because, DEATH

***** Only you crazy religious nut jobs think your souls will ascend to heaven to become one with your Sky God.

[@doxide]

***** Evolution is a religion?! LOL way to project your own mental infirmities on other people. Must be great having all your worries answered by some book written thousands of years ago by kooks and frauds.

[@cinquine1]

***** Incorrect, actually. The theory of evolution is just that, a scientific theory. Saying it's a religion is like saying the theory of general relativity is a religion.

[@jamesvandamme7786]

doxide I'll take peace instead. "I am leaving you with a gift--peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." John 14:27

[@DerMultiGeraet]

Where are Stargate/Stargate Atlantis or Stargate Universe?

[@blarg166]

I forgot Serenity had battle scenes :P

[@RandomChannel68128]

Loved the vid. Whats the name of the song?

[@ShockLegionLeader]

You could have replaced the Avatar scene with Stargate and it would have been perfect

[@kevinred1969]

What movie is the battle at 2:02 from? Thanks

[@jmurphy2169]

defining element of all space battles...... shakycam

[@phoenixcz8608]

Where is the STARGATE ???????!!!!! Stargate have the best space battles of all time. :P

[@schwarzerritter5724]

If I remember it correctly, most battles where one-sided curb stomps.

[@ReaperJeezer]

Starship Troopers

[@julius-stark]

Should have included footage from the DS9 episode Sacrifice of Angels.

[@NiqDucoteArt]

what movie was the battle with the ship getting blown in half from blue energy bolts shot from the planet from?

[@jimvandamme]

***** u made my day

[@cinquine1]

***** Ok, first off, we actually live in a flat universe, so space isn't inherently bent. Also, if it was, the slug's trajectory would be changed, but it's kinetic energy would remain the same. 2) Like Wirespeed91 said, 0.013c isn't relativistic yet, and even if it was (a good rule of the thumb is that einstein takes over around 0.1c), it wouldn't cause the slug to slow down (actually, it would mean the slug would have even more kinetic energy). 3) Electromagnetic forces are completely irrelevant here. 4) Yes, in theory objects will travel infinitely in a perfect vacuum. In space there is ISM, but that won't do much to slow down a slug like that quickly. 5) You can't space without Newton. 6) Fun fact about photons: because they have no mass, they are incapable of travelling at any speed that isn't c (this applies for all massless particles). 7) The laws of physics in deep space are exactly the same as they are here, and finally... 8) The Sergeant is actually overreacting. With the amount of empty space in the universe, the chance of the slug colliding with something people care about is tiny. A stray slug would most likely hit another object, or a star, or some uninhabited planet, or sail clear out of the galaxy.

[@counterstriker500]

The Great Canadian Wookiee Thank you, physics side of KZbin.

[@So1othurn]

In space, no one can hear you scream.

[@TheStormscape]

Something that's always bothered me with Starship Troopers. They're doing a combat drop on Klendathu and then they start getting blasted out of orbit by bug plasma. The very next drop that Rodger Young does, the fleet is once again tightly packed and a large number of the crew are eating in the mess hall. Who is running that damn fleet and why aren't those people at their battle stations? Srsly!!!

[@charlesajones77]

I know, really. How do the Bugs even know where to aim? The chances of them hitting something in orbit are about the as good as my chances of dropping a rock from an airplane and hitting an egg salad sandwich (kudos to anyone who gets that reference). And don't even get me started on how they can fling an asteroid from the other side of the galaxy with pinpoint precision.

[@Bolt216]

what was the second one from, the one after avatar

[@anthonyruggiero6350]

what movie are the space blimps from

[@jojo-wx8kw]

Launch Viper!

[@99brickstudios]

i agree with you.but i have to say though,i wanted to see the show because the space battles really impressed me.but when i watched the show the battles felt too short or they showed almost mothing of it when they happened . no offense but it looks more epic if cut it together.
