[@timothyweston6087]

One of the things that's way off in the newer films is its missing the love everybody had for the ship. Abrams said in an interview that he didn't care about the Enterprise. It wasn't a character. He was focused on the characters. He was wrong. The ship was always important. That was their home.

[@knightofavalon86]

Wow that explains A LOT. Such an odd outlook to have. *Enterprise* has always, famously been one of the main characters -I think it's part of the "wooden ships and iron men" DNA of the franchise. Wherever it came, its very, very strange to enter into making *star trek* films without understanding that. I mean, has the man never watched more than five minutes of any of the original movies?

[@encinobalboa]

Excellent point. JJ's treatment of the Enterprise was cursory and in fact disrespectful. Remember the scene where Young Kirk looks at a starship under construction while riding his motorcycle? That was the perfect time to cue the opera and give the fans an indulgent look. The CGI was amazing but we only got an oblique view that lasted a few short seconds. No wonder ST is dead. And no wonder SW is going in the same direction.

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

You are so right. The Enterprise (original refit and few versions after) should be treated as an awesome character in the movies. The Enterprise D in Next Gen. was always prominiently featured in many episodes as a great flagship. In the movies, they should be embracing the power and high tech of the Enterprise and all her great features, instead of just blowing up Enterprises every other movie, like it was no big deal. (We will just build another one.) Fans need to feel great when they see a majestic looking Enterprise (any version) winning battles like in the old days fighting Borg etc., not just the loose character building of the crew in JJ Abrams, mostly all action oriented.

[@dan_hitchman007]

JJ knows nothing about Trek.

[@JohnJackson-mn4ts]

JJ is a Hack. He couldn’t produce an original piece of work if his life depended on it. I wonder which iconic sci-fi he’s going to butcher next? There can’t be that many left.

[@tkmoffatt]

[@kirk1968]

Same here, brother! What a time for science fiction cinema that was, such amazing craftsmanship.

[@zoso73]

I was 10 when I saw this on the big screen in 1979. The best scene of the film. I was spellbound.

[@raycampbell1703]

Absolutely the best version of the Enterprise to date. To the people who have an opinion that this scene is way too long just don't get it. The ship is and has always been one of the main characters.

[@Ayeshteni]

Absolutely. Can't agree with you enough.

[@Primus54]

So true. While Star Wars was much more about the underlying story, it would have gone nowhere without the cutting edge special effects... particularly the ships and space scenes. This was even more true with Star Trek. I still remember the first time I saw The Search for Spock and the huge lump in my throat when Kirk self-destructed the Enterprise.

[@Middlesex1957]

I was 9yrs. old when I watched the televised Star Trek series as it was broadcast on our black and white TV. I didn't see a single episode in color until re-runs... I am now 63yrs. old. When Star Trek was cancelled I went into a depression. It was providing what I needed as a 9yr. old intersex, gay boy who totally identified with Spock - being half Vulcan and half human and having to put up with hyper-emotional reactionary bullcrap when logic, reason, analysis and compassion SHOULD have been the order of every day- and did when he was back home. Yet, he managed and excelled! IDIC meant the world to me. My Dad - ever my champion and with unconditional love, helped me use what I'd found in Star Trek to forge a place in a world that tried to claim people like me didn't even exist even though... there I was and still am! So.... in 1979, my last year in college... when we FINALLY saw our beloved ship, with all it's significance, hope for all, and after waiting over 10yrs. to see it again... we could have watched a whole movie JUST about the ship. I will never forget the energy in the theatre, the breathless wonder. There was actually a sob. The "owners" of Star Trek don't get it. They still don't get it. As a result they don't make the money they could, they don't get the backing they should, and they try to get away with barely producing what their audience would eat 10x more of. They never understood that the more they give to Trek, the more the fans will give back to it. They need a Ferengi business adviser. Or a good swift kick in the head.

[@johntracy72]

Exactly. The Enterprise is just as important as the human and Vulcan crew members on board her. She is like a mother to her crew.

She is a beauty. That's true. So streamlined like the great ocean liners from 1890 to about 1920. Look at Titanic. Her service period may have been brief, but there was such beauty in the simplicity of her streamlined shape. She was so graceful.

[@markythelarky6948]

This particular enterprise design has always been my favorite. It has an aesthetic that is subtly elegant, it looks good from so many different angles without needing to be ostentatious. My favorite scene is at 8:09 when the Enterprise is coming around Earth orbit in the dark and slowly the sun rises from behind casting light upon the ship from behind.

Its not just a ship, its home. For the characters and for us as fans. Its a beautiful scene, especially when you know the history of the franchise before you watch the movie.

Breathtaking work here and it really brings back memories. I cut class leaving Whitney Young High School to go downtown to see the first showing on opening day. The State and Lake theater, long gone now was a thousand seat house and the show was sold out. And this at near noon on a weekday. When this scene came up there was absolute silence. Jerry Goldsmith's perfect score played so beautifully. When the frontal shot came up and the main theme repeated in crescendo the audience erupted into applause. That scene more than any other in the film stayed with me and continues to do so to this day. Your perfect and I mean perfect animation here really brings it all back for me. It's been so many years.

I was really disappointed that they didn't clean up the footage for that for the DVD (and especially Blu-ray) release of the film. The marks on the lens are so glaringly obvious. It would have taken hardly any time at all to get rid of this. It's more obvious in HD of course. They also did a terrible job with the darks. They crushed the hell out of the blacks in a lot of the scenes (this is seen in all the TOS era movies on Blu-ray. It's somewhat there in Generations too). It was just the 50th anniversary too, you'd have thought they'd have done SOMETHING with the restored footage rather than just repack it in new boxes (which are rather nice I must admit).

I remember becoming so emotional when seeing the original scene for the first time in the theater. I got the same feeling watching this. A job well done!

[@martok2112]

Absolutely gorgeous work! Stunning! Kudos to all artists involved.

[@nickd1961]

Well done!! God I'm such a geek this still gives me Goosebumps

[@harryalpert8002]

absolutely gorgeous! i never get tired of watching this!

[@steveissexy]

takes me back to childhood where i first seen this and was in absolute shock that something could be this beautiful.

[@tomwatson9032]

Really outstanding work... thank you for this. Extremely impressive. The scale is perfect, everything matches. I had no idea this could be done to this level.

[@DavidSmith-xs3or]

Take me to the 23rd century. I hate this cesspool I'm in.

+46 Degrees North Off Grid Actually, the only impression we have of the future is through science fiction. No one can possibly know exactly how the distant future will look. No law against wishful thinking.

Find a starship, then beam me up, I'll crew with you.

[@pianotm]

Remember when we thought that driving a car would be insane and then we turned sixteen and learned that it's so easy an invalid could do it? I bet starships are the same way.

[@captainsinclair7954]

David Smith, this is Emperor Shadowblade broadcasting on all channels. I have a Galaxy Class you can be a Lieutenant on. I'll have one of the quantum class ships escort it to Earth, so you can get out of that "cesspool." *Beam up coords attached. This message will now repeat*

[@JakinIrali]

Pretty much. Based on how things are now, an entire ship would be run by a single guy pointing and clicking on a tablet.

[@jeffhyche9839]

I have watched this so many times over the past few weeks. Damn good job.

[@paulputnam8211]

The marriage of visuals & music in this clip put it up there with the very best videos on KZbin.

[@davidruiz1142]

My absolute favorite version of the ship. This is a wonderful video.

[@Speakerofthehouse2]

Always loved this scene. Nice job on the remake. Loved the warp out.

[@Frank-Calico-Cat]

In every way just great and truly impessive , absolutely outstanding ... phantastic job !

[@chilliconn071]

I wasn't expecting to see the Enterprise go into warp speed. Unexpected but so worth it, as was the entire film. Congratulations and well done to everyone involved.

[@ian_b]

A very nice recreation of one of the greatest moments in movie history!

[@martinbeine348]

Just what I think. This is pure magic. And the music is just wonderful.

And the crazy part is, he wasn't being ironic. He meant it, but the robots couldn't understand. Only Scotty held as much love for that ship, but in a different way.

[@buggzybunny3540]

I need the episode where they remember christophers death

[@Charistoph]

@@buggzybunny3540 , "The Cage" was the original airing of Christopher Pike as part of the pilot, but it didn't get much air time compared to when it was aired as part of "The Menagerie" in Episode 11 & 12 of Season 1. He didn't die in it, though, it was just the episode in which he retired.

[@ironman7630]

Wonderful! Awesome! Even fixed the color of the deflector dish! Very Very Well Done! Having not seen this movie in many years, this brought a tear of nostalgia to my eye for the single greatest ship in all of science fiction. Thank you.

[@nx9100]

Amazing job! Your attention to detail, and matching nearly shot-for-shot from the Motion Picture! Well done, artist, well done.

[@autobotark]

brovo well done felt as if i was watching the space dock departures from the first two movies blended togther beautyfuly

[@StephenLeGresley]

As much as this film gets shit on and in some cases rightfully so, this drydock sequence should be taught in school. The music expertly conveys the emotion in each section of it and leads the audience emotionally by the hand. The way the shots rarely show the entire ship are a method of making it larger then life and building it up in our minds. Now put yourself back in the 1970's and try to imagine what it would've felt like to see this for the first time on a big screen. People would've probably paid money just for this series of shots alone.

[@FleetpawSwiftback]

Stephen LeGresley I agree! People hate this part of the movie, but I like to think we are being introduced to a new Enterprise, therefore we should get to see what all see looks like. Check out her lines, her curves, everything that makes her who she is.

[@bryanfisher9825]

Stephen LeGresley im

[@EdgyNumber1]

Well I must have watched this sequence 50 times in the last 3 months alone. Partly because it's been so technically well done in the CGI but also in reference to the shots in the real movie. This bombastic piece overlayed on top of such a well edited scene is addictive to watch. Nothing is to fast, nothing is instantly revealed until 3:30 ...and yes because of this you get a sense of scale. Imagine sitting up front in the cinema and seeing this, the sheer size. Awesome stuff.

[@Ark-sz6dp]

@@EdgyNumber1 I love the 3.30 spot on conveys what you want to feel when you look at her!

[@krydas9050]

As a matter of fact, i am currently working on a school project about this scene ^^

[@theamused8705]

I keep coming back to watch this it's so beautiful

[@yjwrangler7819]

Aiight. When the sun came over the horizon....that was hot. Fantastic warp out as well. Again, well done!!

[@WolfieRich1]

Anyone who doesn't get goosebumps at 3:30 has no soul

[@soulfulfx]

One of the best cinematic moments of all time in my opinion.

[@Robert_Douglass]

WolfieRich incomparable majesty of the Enterprise refit...

[@ude84]

around 5:05 I get goosebumps on my armhair

[@zodden01]

WolfieRich one of my all time favorite cinema moments. Even after all these years I have a hard time keeping my shit together at that moment.

[@markythelarky6948]

It was 8:16 for me. The Enterprise coming around Earth orbit lit only by its own light as the sun slowly rises from behind the Earth and illuminates the ship.

[@AaronTheHumanist]

This is a work of pure genius!

[@pathwanderer1183]

Thank you for this worthy re creation of my two most favourite star trek scenes.Both for how well you did them justice as for inviting the comments that make me feel less weird for loving TMP so much and these scenes in particular.

[@Stan_Ipkiss_SS]

That's was amazing, thanks to who ever made this!

[@lonmcq7317]

Very well done!! I always thought the refitted Enterprise was the best looking ship. This animation was just great. Thanks for this...

[@rorypayton]

Very nice, really enjoyed that. Could have watched it all night. 'the' best looking rendering of the TMP Enterprise I've seen on youtube. Very well done. Thanks for sharing.. look forward to seeing more.

[@superginrai8036]

Beautifully done. A great redoing of the Enterprise departure from Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
