"Level 12 Shockwave!" Star Trek Generations! Phaser Blasts!

[@beefgoat80]

Worf finally gets a seat

[@daviyen]

The funny thing is I see dramatic lighting on the bridge and I know it’s Generations

[@deniseherud]

Hated it

[@ehtresih9540]

engage dramatic lighting

[@ZantherStone]

@@daviyen I can always tell by the audio. I don’t know music terms so not sure if it’s bass or timbre or like echo? Each movie tends to have a slightly different sound to it.

[@ZantherStone]

Damn. I feel the intensity and time crunch I felt the first time watching this in theaters. Seeing these guys on big screen was so cool

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

The opening of this movie is in my opinion the best in movie history.(The christening of Enterprise-B)

[@ZantherStone]

@ Oh yeah. What a cool way to introduce the Enterprise-B. And then linking TOS with TNG.

[@DisaStar258]

"We got a level 12 Shockwave coming in...WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!"

[@russellharrell2747]

I was definitely engaged (ahem) when watching this in the theater but when they reused the explosion of the Bird of Prey from the last film I was totally taken out and kinda coasted through the rest of the film with disbelief.

[@albertmartinez2539]

Takes a certain kind of nerd to recognize the same explosion. (Don't worry, I'm that nerd too. But it didn't mess with my disbelief.)

[@matzpimp]

this is when they start slowly switching the uniforms

[@zcorpalpha2462]

Good Movie 🍿 I didn’t feel bad for Soran ( Spelling may be off ), cause he just wanted to back with his late family, or an image of his late family ( Nexas )

[@MaxAbramson3]

Good writers who didn't have enough time to make this story work.

[@Freddie1980]

I wonder if they trying to save on electricity by keeping lights off on the bridge?

[@shelboymebob]

Whoa Malcom is Al Siddig's uncle?! That so cool 😊

[@StoicLion]

And according to Alexander Siddig, Malcolm had a miserable time on the GENERATIONS set.

[@shelboymebob]

@StoicLion aw oh noooo 😅

[@harryc1971]

@@StoicLion just a pay cheque gig really nothing special about the role or the movie

[@phelimridley6727]

The Amargosa observatory destruction scene is movie Star Trek at its finest. Special Effects that still stand up 3 decades later, our familiar heroic characters rely on seamlessly on one another, Klingons !, high stakes, Dennis McCarthy's sweeping score, puzzling behaviour from the new character (Tholian Soran). Excellent

[@ZantherStone]

@@phelimridley6727 Yup. All while Picard is dealing with immense grief while managing situations.

[@phelimridley6727]

@ZantherStone Yes. He is barely able to respond adequately when it is announced: "Sir, A Klingon Bird of Prey de-cloaking off the Port bow." Picard looks distracted. "What!" I love it, I can't get enough of that scene. I don't understand the hate for that movie. It's brilliant!

[@brucejemcek6986]

Soren had a weapon that could stop the nuclear reaction in the core of stars. By destroying stars, he could alter the gravitational configuration of solar systems. By doing that, he could alter the course of the energy ribbon called the NEXUS. The Nexus had to come to you , in order for it to sweep you up into pure blissful paradise. Soren didn’t care how many worlds he killed. He would do ANYTHING to get into that Nexus.

[@trazyntheinfinite9895]

On the grand sheme of cosmic distances, the mass of the star remains in the system. So no, the gravitational influence remains.

[@MaxAbramson3]

​@@trazyntheinfinite9895Very little. The science behind this movie didn't make sense. I just couldn't get into this movie.

[@daleallen7634]

@brucejemcek6986 : Actually, Soren was attempting to RETURN to the Nexus, he'd already been there, but was "rescued" (along with several others), from it by the Enterprise NCC-1701-B.

[@JakeSmith-st6vp]

'How long til the shock wave hits the observatory?' "4 minutes" 'Number One' Riker and Worf waste two monies walking to the transporter room. 😅😅😅😅

[@stevenewman1393]

🖖😎👍"Startrek Generations!".

[@JB_Hunkamunka]

This is some inpressive pan and scan work, lol

[@Machistmo]

I feel like the chances of us reaching this evolutionary stage grows dim

[@Dantheman-0..1]

It’s only set a few hundred years in the future. Humans haven’t really evolved much if at all by the events of the show. In reality it could take us thousands of years before human beings ever become a truly interstellar species.

[@Shapes_Quality_Control]

You kidding? America already has instituted early Starfleet with only 50 or so years until the events of First Contact. Provided Biden stops blowing up diplomatic relations we will even skip WWIII. Seems we’re on track.

[@Machistmo]

@@Dantheman-0..1 compared to today its millions of years away it seems to me

[@Dantheman-0..1]

@@Machistmo I think perhaps you are being too pessimistic. Humans already have PADDS, Starships and talking computers. It’s only a matter of time.

[@TonyStark-wr7ob]

At least Elon is doing something unlike nasa. Still for us regular people to even think of going into space in our lifetime is slim.

[@kraxus03]

Notice LaForge gets his rank used but the Android is MISTER Data

[@deniseherud]

I just wanted to see the Enterprise warp away...

[@ZantherStone]

@@deniseherud Saaaame. I remember the warp away scene was in the previews to the movie. And I think also some fast food commercials when movie was out in theaters (some cup give away but they had him saying engage from that scene)

[@calumscott8737]

For all its faults, Generations was incredibly cinematic.

[@trentmonaghan179]

Mr. Worf's eyebrows looked awfully pointy in this video. 🤔

[@pjmorgan]

Explain to me how the solar probe reached the star from the observatory in mere seconds, but the shockwave takes minutes, which it absolutely would do. If it were our own sun, it would take over 8 mins to reach Earth on average. Additionally, there would be absolutely no way to know the shockwave was on its way until it reached you.

[@ti994apc]

Why is Data calling from the transporter room saying he cannot locate himself?

[@louseveryann2181]

My only criticism about this movie is the badly handled Kirk arc closing.

[@MaxAbramson3]

A good story idea with so many rushed ideas. Great stories need time and they need notes!

[@rarewolf4913]

The observatory is apparently smaller than the Enterprise D, so why couldn’t they just use a tractor beam to pull it away at warp?

[@shamusomalley4263]

Since when does Troi have the slightest clue about how powerful a stellar phenomenon is?

[@dhinton1]

this was a TNG episode stretched out to make it a film ..... JLP being distracted by his brother's/nephew's tragic death? Data picking NOW to implant that emotion chip? said chip distracting him from being able to rescue Geordi on the observatory? them using Geordi's VISOR to see inside the Enterprise-D? all stuff that would happen when you have extra time 😂😂😂

[@kingsman8475]

How does a shock wave travel through space?

[@deerejohn7209]

Not seen here, but if they have inertial dampers why are they thrown arond by a shock wave ?

[@kevinhoward9593]

if there is no air in space you cant see a shockwave just saying. just like ships cant make noise going to warp.

[@mrkenmt]

It'll take 2 minutes to get to the transporter room AND beam down. Not much time for rescuing anyone, beaming back, then warping out of there.

[@kennethmalone4689]

Transporter rooms/ pads aren't necessary for beaming.

[@mrkenmt]

@kennethmalone4689 yes of course... but... When we next see Commander Riker, the Enterprise calls him saying... what? Oh something about two minutes left. And like I said - you're right about transporter rooms not being needed. Coulda shoulda woulda used that space for anything else.

[@kennethmalone4689]

@@mrkenmt the way I look at it, transporter pads are more or less a formal receiving location. There may also be more specifics built into the pads like decontamination.

[@nebbyott]

Shockwave of what? Vacuum?

[@brucejemcek6986]

Soren. Nexus. You really have no feel for correct spelling. At all.

[@Reiman33]

a shockwave in what medium. I know trek technobabbles stuff away, but honestly generations was especially lazy in this department.

[@brucejemcek6986]

Destroying a sun, which is a star, would cause an immense shockwave to propagate outward from the destroyed star. The shockwave would obliterate anything as it expands.

[@_vortech_]

And would travel much faster than how it was depicted, unless that was a massive star, bigger than Stephenson 2-18.

[@ytmndman]

Actually a "shockwave", by definition, needs a medium, like air, to propagate through. An exploding star would just release a massive wave of radiation and ejected material.

[@_vortech_]

@ytmndman you're right. If they did it correctly, it should've been a massive expansion of gas and stellar debris being flung out in all directions. It would like a rapidly expanding nebula... since that's how nebulas are created.
