Even to this very day, I am not sure I've ever seen a more confidently written and directed franchise film. They knew this was going to be a slam dunk, and every shot of the movie has swagger and fun. As fans, this was the greatest goodbye we could have ever hoped for.

[@johnfreeman440]

Watching this movie on opening night in the college town of Ann Arbor, MI...early December...barely 5 weeks after Rodenberry had passed was a transformative experience. Full house of sci-fi college students who understood the gravity of Gene's passing better than I. Every introduction at the beginning (also because it was the last movie for the original crew) was met with wild, standing, uprarious applause. Every single one. When Gene Rodenberry's name hit the screen, the group of 500+ people in that room made a sound like a 747 on takeoff. Part celebration of his life and work and part public mourning with their peers. People openly weeping. It was a moviegoing experience unlike anything that I had ever experienced and I will cherish it until my last day.

[@sandal_thong8631]

Too bad he was "past it" in the 1970s, so they had to take the franchise away from him. He then complained he didn't like every movie after the first one, I think, including this one. I remember seeing this trailer, but not where I saw the movie; it must have been when I was in college, too.

[@DPMusicStudio]

Thank you for sharing, what a wonderful story

[@zillabeast]

Our opening night crowd is an all time memory for me, too. It was the first movie I had ever been to where people actually cheered for big scenes and like you mentioned, the credits as well. It's still a short list to this day: Independence Day, The Phantom Menace, The Avengers, The Force Awakens and Endgame.

[@46FreddieMercury91]

Funny coincidence, Ann Arbor was the birthplace of Grace Lee Whitney, who played Janice Rand in the original series, and was the comms officer on the USS Excelsior

[@brianalice]

“This is Captain Sulu, USS Excelsior.” Still the best fan-service ever slipped into a trailer.

Not fan service! It’s called character development.

[@jamesferguson5603]

I wish they had kept in Scotty’s line ‘ She cannot take much of this ‘ when Enterprise is taking a pounding in the climactic battle with Chang’s Bird of Prey. It was said so well by Jimmy Doohan and really conveyed the plight of the Enterprise crew trying to survive against the odds!

Oh let's see... _Star Trek: The Motion Picture_ (yeah, it was a bit of a clunker but you'd better believe on opening day the place was packed--Trekkies finally got their wish and got to see _Star Trek_ on a forty-foot screen) _Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan_ (it wasn't called _Star Trek II_ until the VHS release) _Star Trek III: The Search for Spock_ (that one *was* called _Star Trek III_ in promotional materials and on opening day) _Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home_ (*BIG* crowds for a couple of weeks in my adopted hometown of Austin) _Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country_ (more big crowds to send off the original crew) _Star Trek: First Contact_ (the only good TNG movie and the last one to draw huge crowds until...) _Star Trek_ (the only good Kelvin movie, IMO) For all of those movies, I was there in the theater on opening day (and for some like _Wrath of Khan_ for multiple re-watches), and I guarantee you that the theaters were packed on all of those outings. (For the other stinkers in the series, notsomuch.)

This was the first Star Trek movie I ever saw in theaters. While I may have been too young to fully grasp the subject matter or parallels, I absolutely loved it., And as an adult, it ranks as my second favorite film in the franchise. What a way for the TOS crew to go out. For me, this film and TNG’s All Good Things are the gold standard of Star Trek finales.

[@dannydinosaur73]

1:37 Yeah, IIRC Takei was fed-up and done with Shatner's ego, and the only way they could get him to come back for the last OS movie was if he was filmed separately and didn't have any "real, physical" scenes with Shatner, so that's why they made him the Excelsior captain. 😂

[@cwell510]

That scene with Kirk getting hit by a phaser gun made my heart sink after initial viewing...a huge swerve I later discovered.

[@user-dr2yz8um3d]

The movie turns 30 today! A wonderful farewell to the original crew of the Starship Enterprise There's a lot of reciting Hamlet, "the undiscovered country" is invoked to refer to the concepts of future and change (and, presumably, how both ideas can seem just as scary as death itself) Nimoy saw the present was catching up with our current political/social times with the fall of the Berlin Wall symbolizing the breakdown of the United States vs Europe Mainly the end of the Cold War The best stories of the franchise derive from our real-world headlines and dramatizes what happens in the future and the best of science fiction is taking a human theme and just putting it in a different environment according to William Shatner Plus the Enterprise crew's final outing forced them to confront their own capacity for prejudice with the Klingons from the tv series while grappling with the boundaries of Utopianism It also critiques the limits of 1960s liberalism References To Kill a Mockingbird and even evokes the Kennedy assassination Barely recognize Kim Catrall in this too It's a shame creator Gene Roddenberry passed away 2 months before the movies release from a blood clot at 70 but the filmmakers did dedicate it in his memory The man always believed in equal representation gathering everyone of all colors, races working in peaceful harmony on an equal basis Polarized fans when it came out but still very good thanks to Nicholas Meyer who also did Wrath of Khan Overall the movie and Roddenberry say that humanity has very interesting and vital future even if we are frightened of change or the unknown Learning to step aside and let history get past us

Ironically, my proper introduction to Classic Trek. As a six-year-old TNG fan, I had seen a clip of the Original Series and thought it was old and dumb. Nevertheless, my parents took my sister and I to see this movie the Sunday after it opened and I enjoyed it. Slowly fell into the series and previous movies shortly after and now I prefer it over DS9, Voyager and Enterprise (the less said about Star Trek after 2005 the better).

Interesting how this Trailer contained some alternate effects shots, like "Kirk" getting vaporized or Changs' BoP firing through its cloak.

[@ianwestc]

The BoP shot firing through its cloak was in the original movie (just watched it again last night!) but the VFX shot of Kirk getting blown away was either... an earlier shot that was dropped/reworked and then inserted into the trailer, or it was created solely for the trailer. There was a lot of speculation, which Paramount played into, that Kirk would die. Seeing that shot in the trailer had us thinking "omg, are they really doing it?" Of course we should have known that if Kirk was dying, they wouldn't have put a shot of it in the trailer. The real shot in the movie showed Kirk and his double in the same frame, with the double getting vaporized.

[@tlatosmd]

@@hmartinspliff Actually, it's a reference to the Marxist term of praxis, which under achieved socialist government equals economic policy. The explosion of the moon Praxis is a metaphor for the economic collapse of the Soviet Union, due to which the Soviet figureheads had to ask for peace and an end to the Cold War.

Wrath of Khan is really outdated even though the acting and script is superb. But this one I watched last year and it still looks good.
