STAR TREK - Spock's Arrival (CGI Fan Recreation)

An extension of my last video from Star Trek - The Motion Picture.
• STAR TREK - RENDEZVOUS...
Here is the complete scene with the warp shots
Have fun

[@dracopendragon6829]

The Warp Effect just isn't the same in modern Trek. To see the visual effect, and actually hear the power of the engines accelerating, just gives the impression of pure power!

[@MrRjcosta]

At Star Trek 2: the best warp effect I've ever seen💫💫💫 Escape from Genesis explosion!

[@RobinDale50]

I have always been a fan of the warp streak effect of the early movies. I never liked the "stretchy rubber-band" version that came in with TNG, looked too silly.

[@RobertM.-zz7mv]

God, I never tire of the Refit E. Timeless beauty. Great work and thank you!

[@TaliaIGhul]

Yep. IMO, that ship sets the standard for ship design.

[@sci-fyguy7767]

I’m building the polar lights 1/1000 version now & it’s almost complete. The Tamiya pearl white paint is beautiful & the aztec & kit decals are striking. It’s gonna be stunning in my curio cabinet next to my 1/1000 original series enterprise. Starting the 1/1000 Reliant next! 🖖🏼

[@frankschalk7790]

no disrespect to the original, but the refit is far superior in every way. Holds up 40 plus years later

[@RobinDale50]

Tomy is doing a die-cast 3 foot long version that is supposed to closely replicate the iridescent paint job of the TMP Enterprise. The TMP was the best model of the Refit. The later movies were different models and looked less impressive.

[@frankschalk7790]

@ there’s the unfortunate fact that the original model with the pearlescent paint job got covered in flat grey paint, totallly ruining the model, because it was apparently difficult to film the reflective surface

[@grifnizzle7197]

Well done, got the look just right. One thing I really appreciate about TMP is how well the effects really do hold up, especially the Enterprise. Latter movies, particularly 3 and beyond, make her too 'bright'. TMP makes it look like a ship that's actually traveling thru the darkness of space with only her running lights for self illumination. You got that perfect.

[@Lyraa357]

I loved seeing the Enterprise refit. She got a lot of eye worship from me too. The Captain isn't the only one who loves her.

[@RAZORBLACKRX]

I miss this ship and especially this crew

[@Jon-be9yy]

Trek 1,2 3 & 6 will always be my favorites and, to me, The Motion Picture is the best! I know, I know many people say its too slow, too boring and "KHAN !" is the best Trek film EVER. Perhaps so, but in 1979 when I first saw this film, everything about it was MAGNIFICENT, everything was NEW. The Enterprise herself with those slanted warp pylons, unbelievable!! The original series and the first 6 movies will always be MY STAR TREK! A great big THANK-YOU to this company that knows how to IMPROVE a film NOT destroy it.

[@JoseyWales44s]

100% agree. When I first saw ST:TWoK I remember being somewhat disappointed because it looked so cheap in comparison to ST:TMP, didn't like the set redesigns, costumes, score or story that basically destroyed the ending of "Space Seed". I appreciate it much more now, although still not as much as ST:TMP.

[@obsideon1343]

TMP is an Epic movie. TWoK is a great (Best) movie. And ST:UC is a the great goodbye.

[@nicholasmaude6906]

@@JoseyWales44s I actually like the Monster Maroons Starfleet uniform introduced in ST-II.

[@JoseyWales44s]

@nicholasmaude6906 I'm still not a fan, but I believe that they probably were better for action sequences and when the actors got older and some lost their trim shapes. Those skin- tight uniforms from TMP would not have looked good at all.

[@nicholasmaude6906]

@@JoseyWales44s "Those skin- tight uniforms from TMP would not have looked good at all." Scotty post-TMP would've looked terrible in his TMP uniform after he packed on the pounds (Probably after stuffing his face with haggis between the ST-I&II).

[@StarFleet_Tech1701]

I miss real Star Trek! Thanks for the memories.

[@Bobo_Plantain]

A lot of people really hated those TMP uniforms, but I really liked them. Kind of pajama-like, lol. HIKE, great animation on the Atai-class shuttle, warp sled, and, OF COURSE, The Enterprise! Fantastic warp speed animation!

[@mikekannely2286]

I upvoted you, but I hated those uniforms...LOL

[@philippealain-art]

Those who don't like these uniforms are not fans of the original series. The refit Enterprise is undeniably the best version of the Enterprise and one of the most successful spaceship designs.

[@sbk123411]

If they had used the same shirts but with black trousers, I think the uniforms would have been much better received.

[@philippealain-art]

@ Well received by who ? Those who criticize them aren't fans of the original series, they're mainly people in the general public, unaccustomed to science fiction and Star Trek, the same people who call Spock, Dr. Spock. Who gives a damn if the pants are black or not?

[@JoseyWales44s]

Yeah, I detested the ST:TWoK uniforms. The looked like something out of the Buck Rogers TV show compared to the sleek and futuristic ST:TMP uniforms.

[@MaxHeadroomGPT]

Absolutely _Awesome!_ Spock’s arrival is one of my all-time fav scenes. Gets me choked up with joy for some reason.

[@Smenkhaare]

Oh My GOD the best warp effect ever... the stretching of the Enterprise.... the rainbow with the defined hole denoting subspace... the Enterprise entering into subspace... and emerging intact into Warp 8 was so beautiful. Warp is seen as the big transition that it is. Not just something to be said as you go beyond comprehensible speeds. Bravo HIKE project. If only this warp effect was standard.

[@DavidDouglas-q7v]

Simply gorgeous.

[@Techrat3D]

Wow. That was beautiful. 😃 And thank you for using the original warp sound, and not the remastered version.

[@peterrochford1333]

So many people give out about the MOTIONLESS MOVIE. I don't get it, from the 60s show to a major movie .A big jump or leap ? Again, BRILLIANT WORK THANK YOU. WARP DRIVE MAGIC 😊😊 KEEP IT UP. 🎉

[@ncc1701chris]

Great recreation...love it. I never tire of seeing the refit enterprise, she is such a beautiful sight.

[@0r4ng3p33l]

Awesome, you don't get enough credit I'm going to watch all the star trek movies I can while the other half is away

[@sci-fyguy7767]

I’m reading all 6 movie novelizations as well. 🖖🏼

[@eagledocf15d]

The refit looks fantastic! Well done

[@CraigologyAustralia]

Stunning! The ambient lighting and shadows on the Enterprise are perfect. Nice touches also - resuming Impulse after the Vulcan shuttle departs ... the clock is ticking and the Intruder isn't get any further away 😅 Don't you love the way that everyone looks nervous as they climb through the warp count ... except for Kirk ... he's slightly smirking - firstly, because he trusts Spock implicitly, and also to be back in The Chair during this moment.

[@deut3168]

I wish they'd kept that uniform style longer. Far more practical than the suits they wore in the other movies. When Spock, leaves the bridge, Kirk and Bones convey so much with just looking at each other. You know what they're thinking. Great acting and screenplay.

[@chrisparsons2791]

This old guy misses real star trek, thanks for giving me a little stroll down to memory alpha. 😁

[@Viewfinderrr]

Great lighting! I loved the "dark" qualtiy of the ship in space, no sun nearby. Very atmospheric. Well done!

[@Jon-be9yy]

@Viewfinderrr YES, that's it right there! That's another reason why I love The Motion Picture. The Enterprise, she's out there all alone in the blackness of space, NO SUN! But we see her because she lights her own way, MAGNIFICENT!!

[@DanielPagano-ie3xn]

That was incredible! You fully captured the beauty of the Enterprise. Especially when it was going into warp. Pure perfection!

[@ihno45]

The best is still the soundtrack! Your work is again excellent. Nothing more to say, enjoyed both the effects as well as the scenes and the soundtrack.

[@Renserin]

You know someone's recreation is good, when feels like the way those scenes should have been.

[@scottmcculloch3605]

STUNNING. Absolutely wonderful work from the brilliant SFX team at HIKE ANIMATION. The refit Enterprise is glorious and you have both honoured and enhanced its beauty. I wish modern Star Trek shows or dare I say streaming movies were of this calibre.

[@prxsii]

Well done! It would be great, in light of Paramount's and Star Trek's uncertain futures, if a team got together and reworked all of the space scenes with CGI - the ultimate fan edit!

[@MrWhipple42]

Fantastic. A wonderful tribute to the original model work with some nice flourishes.

[@jasonluong3862]

Imagine that, using just an affordable and reasonably powerful PC, someone sufficiently skilled with inexpensive or free FX programs can literally redo all the external shots of spaceships, alien worlds, space battles for any sci-fi movie in the past, modernizing them for today’s audience’s sensibility. Heck, using AI, the old BW movies can be colorized quickly without much effort. We are indeed on the cusp of a new revolution of revisionism cinema.

[@Phantassm]

Excellent work. The best recreations online.

[@manuelmelchizedek4309]

[@obsideon1343]

[@daimyo2k]

It just occurred to me, why Spock was more somber and emotionless than he usually is. He just gave up everything he has been working towards, his whole life, just to help Cpt. Kirk. Remember, Vulcans DO have feelings, they just control them exceptionally well.

[@RoyceEddington]

Spock “felt” V’ger coming right at his ceremony end at the beginning of the movie. All the agonizing years he spent on Vulcan purging all emotion to become purely logical were lost in a moment of weakness. His medals were left on the ground. He failed because shards of emotion were obviously still in him. Spock wanted to know what caused that from so far away. Kirk was just a means to an end at this point.

I wish they had been a bit more explicit about why they're so surprised Spock is there. "We haven't seen or heard from you in years, Spock... I thought you really had left for good..." Something like that. Not go too much into it, but just give the audience a little more to go on.

[@xenomorphphantom8852]

At the beginning of the movie we see Spock failing his Kolinahr test,and in the sequence after this we get the full explanation. Spock sensed the cloud's mind patterns,and believes an answer for himself may await for him over there.

[@vengeance1701]

@@xenomorphphantom8852 Well, yeah, but that doesn't explain why the crew was so surprised to see Spock back. That explains why Spock came back from Spock's POV.

[@nbsmith100]

beautifully done. if there's a nitpick to be had i'd have to say the seconds when the main viewing screen is showing the galaxy from outside the galaxy when they start going to warp was a bit jolting and didn't make a lot of sense. other than that i'd say its about perfect.

[@stephenfarthing3819]

Star Trek 2,4 with 3 and 6 are my favourite films while 1and 5 - remain two of the disliked films of the original cast films. I still hold these films as listed as the best four out of the 6.

[@destinycaptain247]

Your Warp Streak looks pretty great. It’s a pity that it gets sloppier and more simplistic as the films go after WOK.

[@wcthomas65]

Just a technical question. Where is the Warp Core for the Warp Sled? Is it in the sled itself or is it decoupled when the shuttle detaches with it? There just doesn't seem like there is enough room in the sled to house a core along with any amount deuterium and anti-deuterium fuel. Nice work by the way.

[@johnavast5939]

I wonder what would be going to Spock's mind as he's traveling to the Enterprise - I wonder if he would have noticed the new ship 😂

[@alexandremullermachado7762]

The hatch is open.

[@kevinmcgovern5110]

Your work, as always is beyond superb. I wish a little reality could seep into Star Trek in general, like the Vulcan transport flip: so unnecessary. The vessel need only have ceased motion aft of the warp engine nacelles, yawed 180° and docked; the whole pitchover looked inane in 1979 and hasn’t improved with age. When TNG first aired, they made an effort to Doppler shift the D and stars passing the vessel, bluing them as they approached the camera, reddening as they departed a shot. IMH left-brained O, a vessel going to warp speed should appear to rapidly move away, shifting from normal color, reddening from a light cast, to full red to black without all the other light effects, just nacelles blazing, possibly with a spatial distortion bubble opening and collapsing like a Bird of Prey cloaking. A ship accelerating to a warp, like we see in this clip after Spock’s engine tweak would show a bubble distortion effect bulge into the shot with the Enterprise, as it matches the camera velocity enter frame black or deep violet, then quickly shifting through fading blues to normal color. Since the ship and camera POV are only slightly mismatched as it pulls ahead, no color shift is really needed but it could be kinda cool if the subspace bubble distortion of the starfield in background tapered off behind it. I myself wouldn’t do so much with the engines themselves, as a big gripe with nearly any science fiction vessel in film to moi is an abundance of GNDN Christmas lights all over (which, in my 13th summer, ruined 2001: A Space Odyssey for me, as I bought into the “realism” hype leading up to its release back in ‘68.) But if I had your equipment and talent, I’d do it myself. Problem is, even if I possessed the equipment, software, and files to do the job, skills and abilities like yours, you can’t buy, so my stuff would look like crap, regardless. Which is why we all tune into you! Thanks for sharing your amazing work!❤

[@Epoxinator]

With warp and transporter technology established in the series I never understood why in this film the passenger section of Spock's shuttle has to detatch from the warp nacelles, fly over and plug itself into the Enterprise, and deposit Spock on board. Did the producers of the film never watch the series?

[@dtremethick8769]

Repair time, less than 3 hours, even with Spock's change into uniform.

[@dag_gamercave]

The most beautiful version of Enterprise, period. Second place, FOR ME, would have to be the one from Kelvin timeline. I realize most die-hard fans will hate me for this, but I discovered my love for Star Trek, ironically, through the 2009 remake. That version of NCC 1701 was the first I ever saw. Ironically, it is also extremely reminiscent of the refit from the video above. Third place, 1701-E.
