Kirk & Crew Timewarp back to 1986

Time Warping from the future to the past. In order to save Earth of the 23rd Century,the exiled Admiral Kirk and the crew of the late Starship Enterprise take their captured Klingon Starship back to Earth of 1986 to find Humpback Whales. It is only the Humpback Whale that will successfully communicate with the probe that is destroying 23rd Century Earth.

Sulu's gradually louder voice, the shaking and rattling and the sun growing larger in the the viewer.......what a tension builder. Brilliant scene.

[@Carpathia1086]

Ah...1986...a very good year. :-)

[@evilwarcow]

I was born that year. Day AFTER the challenger incident.

[@rods6741]

Klingons design their ships without exploding consoles. Smart!

So, an old relic Bird of Prey is capable of Warp 10 speed .. Take that, Millennium Falcon!

[@brooklynemtp589]

Lets not forget the extreme stresses of passing through the gravity well of a star.

[@logandarklighter]

"It's just a jump to the left!"

[@evilwarcow]

And a step to the right! Mr. Rylos!

[@thatoneshadykid]

I've found this entire dream sequence, sounds particularly, creepy ever since I first saw this movie when I was about eight.

[@tomgauntlestrange]

"may fortune favour the foolish" ..... I've adopted this and use it every time i'm about to do something risky, dangerous or that scares me.

[@tsntana]

@GEMINITREKKER I think that was part of it. McCoy was even concerned they were going to time travel in that "old rust bucket". :)

[@Urvy1A]

I think this time warp altered some events, especially the events of Friday The 13th Part V, when Tommy tried to kill Pam (see Friday The 13th Part V: A New Beginning), but then, the Enterprise crew (using the hijacked Bird of Prey) went back in time, thus creating a ripple effect, changing events. (A theory to connect both Star Trek IV and the beginning of Friday The 13th Part VI after Friday The 13th Part V's ending being retconned.)

[@qetoun]

2:18 Kirk and the Gang drop some serious Acid.

[@tomgauntlestrange]

nope they were clearly smoking Labrador just look at all the smoke.

[@leeb905]

It was Clearly some very good LDS LOL

[@GEMINITREKKER]

@Carpathia1086 YES! It was!! Good Music from that year too!

[@captainbryce1]

Superman didn't "reverse the earth's rotation", that is just the effect we see (used to illustrate that he is moving "backwards" in time). The earth's rotation itself has nothing to do with "time". According to the film's logic (and most pre-1980's sci-fi logic), breaking the light speed barrier causes one to go backwards in time (just like in old Superman and Flash comic books). The reason he flew around the earth was probably to pick up speed (you'll notice that he gets faster and faster).

[@tomgauntlestrange]

also a practical reason, had he not he would have ended up in the past but light years away from earth and the sun that give him his powers. By circling the earth he remained in one spot effectively on a galactic scale while moving at great speed.

[@knoxvilleguy2]

@GEMINITREKKER I have been scouring KZbin for this very scene. I never could figure out why the time travel sequence used such trippy imagery ! Fascinating scene though.

[@leeb905]

You try going warp 10 and See if you don’t see purple horseshoes yellow diamonds and green clover’s LOL

[@kblargh]

Doc Emmet Brown's ship

[@allanegleston13]

if i remember the tos timeline from the cage and the minagire , the enterprise IS a timeship herself. in an early tos timline when coocrane(not shure of the spelling) took a dy 100 class atomic ship and devloped the TIME WARP core to ride on a wave of time . hence when capt. pike said TIME WARP 6, etc, was shortened to warp 6 as that was a mouth full to say. ps : was a great scene, " did the brakeing rockets fire"? love it when the joggers run into the bird of prey., CLANG. now dont forget where we parked.

[@miker8503]

Still one of the best time travel sequences in cinema... however unrealistic

[@GEMINITREKKER]

@logandarklighter I should do a video of Star Trek warp scenes with that song from Rocky Horror on it! lol.Thanks for commenting.

[@someonesomewhere7587]

The USS Bounty was a sexy sleek mfer

[@Gasoline85]

"Let's do the timewarp again!"

[@courtgizzle]

Gasoline85 yes I want to see the 1970s

[@puertorockbackdoor]

Hold on, so an old ass Klingon Bird of Prey is that advanced to go to warp 10?

[@leeb905]

Well it was shaking and Shit lol

[@commandingjudgedredd1841]

So old, that when it comes out of a timewarp slingshot maneuver, the data screens look and sound like an old ZX Spectrum loading up.

[@Soliy87]

Groovy

[@evilwarcow]

Yes you said it.

[@Xelpherpolis]

Was anyone else ever kinda creeped out by the weird whale figure during this sequence? I dunno... just too large and ominous for my comfort level.

[@DarqeDestroyer]

The bird of prey appears to be about the size of a planet. Or, the sun has shrunk to about the size of a town.

[@captainbryce1]

@MrLazy27 Of course, according to the movie Superman, one need not necessarily "warp" space in order to achieve time travel. He was able to slingshot himself around the earth at the speed of light to travel backwards in time. In that case, it was merely the acceleration past the speed of light that enabled time travel.

[@seannewhouse892]

Shields, sire!

[@GEMINITREKKER]

@clonmultcity Howdy! Sorry for taking so long to reply.I believe the ship nearly shakes itself apart because it is an old Klingon ship that cannot withstand the speed. Im not sure of any other technical reasons.Someone else may be able to shed light on that.The Enterprise D,I believe could not exceed that speed either.

[@AlexanderWolle]

Cadets. That's how it's done.

[@jimward89]

may fortune favor the foolish

[@MrLazy27]

@studentrebel The gravitational field around any object is actually a warp in the space-time continuum. The larger the object, the larger the gravitational field (and hence the warp in space-time). Travelling at warp speeds is also a result of warping space-time. So, hurtleing yourself at the sun (which has a gravitational field that is warping space-time) at warp 9 (also warping space-time) may result in time trave. There you go, warp+warp=timewarp I suppose.

[@Sevv9220]

4:10 In other words, judging by how shitty our atmosphere is...

[@GEMINITREKKER]

Im to understand that a slingshot around the sun at near warp 10 would send a ship backward through time. They got it to warp 10 then braked fast, then slingshot! There you are...1986! lol. Im not sure exactly how.Thanks for commenting.

[@leeb905]

Didn’t spock say he put all those calculations in the computer LOL

[@Smeginator]

Filmed in Dolby PotatoVision

[@michaelbowie3269]

When's Gary Seven?

[@lloyd007a]

@clonmultcity Whilst @GEMINITREKKER's answer is good, I'll give the same response I give to any question like this - Dramatic License! It simply looks cooler if the ship seems to be tearing itself apart! The same response could be given if one asks why the Sun takes so long to approach the ship. At Warp 9, which according to Michael Okuda's Warp Scale would be about 730 times the speed of light, it would take the ship just over a minute to cross the entire Solar System, not just reach the Sun!

[@sltkr9876]

Well superman Reversed the earths rotation so time would rewind Startrek slingshot effect pick up enough speed you are in time warp

[@MsDonna52]

watch out for Klingon birds of prey in Golden Gate Park in SF

[@caganb]

Warp 10 and they would bypass galaxies not go slowly around the sun. They were on impulse power I think

[@Artisan1979]

2:21 Kirk is basically witnessing future conversations during the trip back? Unless it basically means their presence in the past allows for the possibility of these chats happening (paradox?) this makes absolutely no sense.

[@rowlandbuck2703]

No. All potential realities always exist.

[@tsntana]

@kblargh Doc was a Klingon in Star Trek.

[@GRasputin91]

Ok so their plan could've been WAAAAAY simpler. You could either create a device that is capable of imitating the humpback whale song, and fooled the probe. OR, they could've made the tanks and devices necessary to hold the whales FIRST, THEN slingshot around the sun back to a period when the humpback whale was plentiful, then just beam them back to the earth, instead of having to contend with a complicated situation involving the last two surviving whales.

[@demonofelru3214]

Without knowing the language they would responding in gibberish.

[@samestrada5743]

y'all 4get...its hollywood!!

[@still_guns]

@GEMINITREKKER it could but not above 9.965

For drama!
