The effects in those older movies look incredible, considering they were almost entirely practical and the older Star Trek movies were actually pretty low budget.

[@bryanpassifiume1185]

That’s not true. Star Trek: The Motion Picture went far over budget, and at nearly $45 million was among the most expensive films ever produced at that time. The later films weren’t nearly as expensive, but they were still big-budget movies for their day.

[@derworfnet]

@@bryanpassifiume1185 Yeah, I read somewhere that TMP was, at the time of its release, actually one of the most expensive Movies ever produced. And a large percentage of this money went into the effects. The Model of the _Enterprise_ alone cost about 750k

[@chrisloesch1870]

@@bryanpassifiume1185 they ended up reusing a lot of the footage in wrath of kahn from the motion picture.

[@WRL64]

As at least one person has said, TMP's final cost was about $45million USD in 1979. That would be close to $175 million today. Not the high end of big budget these days, but certainly not low budget. The age of the blockbuster starting in 1989 and each year audiences wanting more and more from their action movies, big action and sci-fi pew pew movies have seen their budgets explode in recent years.

[@peterp2153]

True. $175M was huge in 1979, whereas the economics and expectations of today’s blockbusters demand and allow $175M to be fairly normal. Remember, back then there wasn’t the same global theatrical market and ancillary revenue streams (I.e., DVD/blu-Ray) as there is in the 21st Century. Star Trek II made about 17% of its box office internationally. Star Trek 2009 made 2x that percentage overseas, and Trek isn’t even a property that performs particularly well in foreign markets. A lot of big budget films make 1/2 their money or more in foreign markets nowadays.

[@maureentuohy8672]

Gosh never realized how much Kirk said "Go Sulu." It's right up there with "Fascinating", "He's dead Jim." , "Kirk to Enterprise .", "Haling Frequencies Open.", "I'm Given Her All She's Got." and "I'm a Doctor not a,".

[@RagicalPlays]

[@richardc.hoating1382]

Question?.....What, exactly does "Trans Warp Drive" capability mean?,......... What can a ship that is capable of "Trans Warp Drive" do, that a non- Trans Warp Drive capable ship not do?.....Was this ever explained in any detail at all in one of the Movies, or a TV episode? Anyone?..

[@zitacarno4443]

Actually, what Scotty did was remove some key components from the transwarp drive computer, which he presented to Dr. McCoy "from one surgeon to another"---and as a result, the Excelsior creaked and groaned to a dead stop right at the space doors while the Enterprise went to Warp 8. The whole idea of transwarp was scrapped because the Excelsior couldn't do it!

[@DLJohnsonHonourofKings]

ZITA CARNO That was funny! I liked the clunking sounds when the Transwarp didn't work.

[@AdhamOhm]

Richard C. Hoating "Transwarp" seems to be a pretty broad term in the Star Trek universe. In the Excelsior's case, transwarp drive was supposed to allow the ship to instantly jump to a specified warp velocity without having to gradually accelerate through the lower numbers first (Warp 1, Warp 2, Warp 3, etc). That would mean the Excelsior could have easily caught up with the Enterprise mid-warp, or even arrive at Genesis before the Enterprise did. Excelsior's transwarp experiments apparently turned out to be more or less a dud because the ship was eventually fitted with a standard warp drive.

[@mikemesser4326]

The movies always glossed over this. Even the term Warp Factor has changed in definition as new scales were created to avoid insanely large numbers for speed. These changes come largely from fans. It was not instantaneous. That would be transwarp beaming, something Scotty developed. The Excelsior was supposed be an experiment in Transwarp with the ultimate goal of TW 10. This would have been an infinite speed. This proved to be a failure. Voyager was the first success in the test of a TW10 drive installed on a shuttle testbed craft and piloted by Tom Paris. Voyager also had numerous encounters with Transwarp technology with the Borg.

[@specialk9424]

Come on, you missed the best warp segment of all, from VI. Helmsan: "She'll fly apart." Captain Sulu: "FLY HER APART, THEN!!"

[@Hambone571]

Agreed wholeheartedly. That moment and line to me is the best one ever in all Star Trek. To me, it shows the ultimate respect and admiration from Captain Sulu for his former Captain. The way George Takei delivered it was excellent. I am a retired LEO and worked for 1Chief and 1 Lt. whom I said, if either one of them said they were going to hell to kick the devils ass, I be the first in line to go with them. I can relate to Sulu’s comment .....

[@arqueiafe7120]

[@charles09361]

Yup... You nailed it. My favorite ten seconds of any star trek movie. Kirk always said, " When I die, I will die alone". Sulu wasn't gonna let that happen. Ship shaking like a dog shitting a rusty razor blade.. Everything at 110 %.. No hesitation on Sulu's part.. He'll get there in time, or lose everything trying. If, in your life, you have three people who will drop everything and bring a shovel ( you either know what that means, or you don't), you've done well and have had a major influence on those around you. That kind of respect and devotion can't be bought, it has to be earned over time. Sulu was bringing the shovel, and he wasn't going to be late, even if it came at his own expense.

What is really unrealistic btw., as a. the Enterprise as the fastest ship in the fleet should have overrun the others and b. NOBODY can kill 6 ships, which have to come out of warp with shields up (as it was a distress signal that brought them to vulcan), in 30 seconds.

[@AA-ez9cn]

Sascha Sierk A ship from more than a century in the future using Borg technology could probably destroy MORE than 6 ships in that time. It is stated in the film that the Enterprise's shields were virtually useless against the Narada's weapons. Imagine what a single modern tank could do to 6 British Calvalry Corps riders in 30 seconds on an open field. Or what a WW2 battleship would do to a Spanish galleon. The only thing that finally destroyed the Narada was another 24th-century ship smashing directly into its heart with more red matter than it would take to destroy a thousand planets.

[@saschasierk4067]

Tai, yes, the vessel of Nero is really high technology in comparison to the year 2259, but if I would be captain on board of a ship, even if they would be trainees, on a rescue mission without knowing what's up with the distress signal of vulcan, I would be really aware of enemies of any kind. And, the ships will warp out all at one... even if he destroys one ship... he cannot destroy all ships at once, he don't have so many phasers (otherwise he would have used them against the enterprise as well), so they could jump back into warp. It would be rough for the crew, but how bad educated must be the captains of star fleet, if all fall into the same trap without any other way doing then trying to fight against an unfightable enemy? Ok, perhabs they are so bad educated, as in Into Darkness, they didn't followed one of the simplest rules of leadership: If you are under attack, split your command staff, so that not one strike kill them all.

[@AA-ez9cn]

Sascha Sierk Dropping out of warp can be done nearly anywhere. Jumping back into it takes a little more time - you've got to see where you're going, for one thing. But barring that, lets consider just how advanced the Narada would be compared to the Starfleet ships it destroyed. Uhura intercepts a transmission stating that the Narada destroyed 47 Klingon Warbirds. Consider that for a moment. 47 Klingon vessels intended for battle - boom, all gone. The Narada's warheads seem to be able to break into multiple components and attack multiple targets simultaneously. They also seem to penetrate 23rd-century shielding like it isn't even there. Being a Romulan ship outfitted with Borg technology by the Tal Shiar, the Narada may also be more difficult to detect, especially by 23rd-century ships at warp. And don't forget that Borg technology was scary advanced, even in the 24th century's standards. So the difference in technology isn't a minor thing. The closest real-world equivalent I can think of would be a fleet of Viking ships being bombed by a squadron of supersonic stealth fighters. I don't care how good your fleet commander is; you can't see them coming, you can't block their shots and you can't shoot back.

[@saschasierk4067]

[@SovereignStatesman]

Tobias Chance Yep, when you break the light-barrier you're going to create a luminal flash like a sonic boom, and it's naturally going to DISAPPEAR from visible sight. Meanwhile from the ship's viewpoint, it will stay the same while only sensors will allow anything visible. That's why in TOS, whenever the Enterprise left a star-system, the viewscreens would show planets disappearing into the distance impossibly fast; i.e. it was just the sensors presenting a visible image, not an ordinary camera back there, which would naturally show nothing.

I never could get into the newer tv series or their movies that did not have the original cast.

Every one of the crew is like a beloved family member, and the loss of the men and women who brought those roles to life leaves a hole in the heart.

I'm 48 and have been watching since boyhood, I can assure you that JJs fleet warp jump and departure from spacedock in his first movie, is easily on par if not better and more exilerating than any jump that's been done before, I still cant get enough of that entire segment, from the shuttles going up to the final pops. I was way more excited about the buildup to that movie then the latest star wars!

[@kennylee6499]

Star Trek Beyond’s warp effect was by far the most beautiful and accurate I’ve seen. Can’t beat the nostalgia though

[@LanceVanceDance84]

Indeed. It honestly might be my favorite scene from any Trek film/show.

[@Shane-Singleton]

Man, watching this. Even back then during Star Trek I the studio models were amazing.

[@jgood005]

***** I agree, but I see the benefit of CGI too. When it was all models, we'd only see a new ship every few years. When CGI came around, that's when we finally got to see big fleets and major battles. Compare the battle of Wolf 359 to any battle from DS9

[@spartanforce7]

Yeah, but the set design and wardrobe was a disaster.

[@pwnmeisterage]

The hidden benefit of physical models is that after a lull of a few seasons or years they'd lose, sell, or break the model and have to make new one. So lots of "refits" haha.

[@michaelhawthorne8696]

I liked the Motion Picture but that particular special effect, I felt was weak

[@derworfnet]

I liked the Warp Effect from TWOK a bit more. It was basically the same as the one from TMP, but the background was somewhat toned down.

If faster than light speed is ever possible "warp drive" would be the only way to achieve it.

Yep. There's a REASON why they returned to Goldsmith's theme when TNG was made, instead of Horner's.

Tesla also began building electric cars here in 2006. Today still so few Americans even know about it. My point is, if you love Star Trek, your going to have to kick some major ass in this timeline to get there. SEE the water car in my latest upload 'What is the MAsonTRIX?'. Maybe we can agree on what I just told you as real truth. Peace to you and yours. - Brian

Good to see that in the 23rd Century, 1980's hair styles are back in fashion! :)

[@HawkGTboy]

It’s interesting to note how much less complicated the warp effect was for TWOK vs TMP. Paramount told Nicholas Mayer to keep things cheap for the second one and that’s what he did. (Roddenberry had gone 80% over budget on the first one.). The warp effect still looked good but you tell that they didn’t composite like 18 different shots to make it like they did for TMP.

[@Zoomer30_]

I really cant believe that the helmsman on the Excelsior could pass a Starfleet drug test.

[@june3420]

Great video, very well done. I love that they tried to recreate what scientists actually think it would theoretically look like in the newest chapter of the franchise. P.S....Favorite scene: when Excelsior's wheels fall off. Happy 50th, Trek!

[@johnnycee5179]

These movies really set your imagination on edge, all the warp speed and they never left the studio.

[@reidhb1]

The Tunnel of Light effect is I believe accurate, but in that it is caused by the POV accelerating up to the full speed C, it would be random bits of light, the stars, which would lengthen and close into a complete tunnel of light, not a Symmetrical cone or tunnel of bits of light.

[@maureentuohy8672]

There is just no ship as beautiful as The USS Enterprise. No A, B or bloody C. 🤗🖖🏼

I love the 'thunder clap' at the end of some of the warp jumps. I remember as a kid in the theater, the warp thing was pretty impressive.

[@midos6767]

I wish they could bring back the "Next Generation Cast" and do another movie. Maybe have Commander Riker be captain of his own ship.. and Captain Piccard be an Admiral of his own fleet.

[@cydaliaacevedo8635]

+midos67 totally! they really didnt need to go back to Kirks days. They need DS9 movies and Voyager. how long are they going to keep Siski in the wormhole and it would be nice to see what Janeway and company are up to now. I really though that the movies followed suit of the series TOS got movies, TNG got movies but DS9 and Voy not one movie.

[@evertonporter7887]

I still feel the Next Generation cast deserves a proper send off movie.

[@sometmesjones7171]

The magic of Start Trek is not Warp speed… it is the inertia dampening…

[@Mark-Skywalker]

Sure, when they're at sub-light speeds, but when they're using their warp drive, they are actually bending space on another dimension they call 'subspace', allowing the ship to be transposed through normal space without crushing the entire ship in a split second.

[@Mark-Skywalker]

CPRailRTC That's actually not true. Faster than light travel is now theoretically possible and in more than one way it's extremely similar to Star Trek warp theory.

[@sometmesjones7171]

Do you understand what inertia dampening is...? Yes I believe that speeds faster than what we think the speed of light is possible... inertia dampening would be like magic.

[@Mark-Skywalker]

Sometmes Jones Of course I know what it is. I agree that if it were theoretically possible to move that fast in what we know as normal space, we would have to do it while inside some sort of inertial dampening field. But we wouldn't need to worry about inertia if we had warp drive. Warp drive is supposed to shift space around the vessel and bring it closer to a theoretical dimension of normal space commonly referred to as subspace. Note the L at the end of inertia. That's the correct way to spell it when using it as an adjective.

[@philschuler9674]

Yes any humans on that ship during acceleration to warp would be atomized goo

[@ValiantB2]

Love the Nebula Class Farragut as it does a beauty pass before accelerating to warp speed!

[@JRGProjects]

One of my first memories as a kid watching Star Trek was seeing the USS Farragut at the end of Generations. Still takes my breath away even to this day.

[@chrisbibber6199]

I was kind of hoping you would have included the clip from ST6 when Sulu is in command of the excelsior and they are warping to save kirk; and when the helmsman says that the ship will fly apart if they go any faster, Sulu tells him "Then fly her apart!"

[@riforgiate74]

That's the best one.

[@johnnyfavorite1194]

Now this really makes me upset: while it is indeed an epic escape, and I love the way Kirk, says "Go Sulu" as in "so what are you waiting for?" (a wink to Star Trek 2's warp) 5:01 is not Warp Speed; which is kind of cool as the movie was sorta' challenged convention by having our heros figure out how to pilot the Bird of Prey just in time , never mind the Warp Drive.

[@Lumibear.]

I enjoyed that, thank you. I don't think I'd realised just how much the effect keeps changing neither, some of the later ones look more like Doctor Who's time tunnel during a bad storm.

@@mwrosanne Of course. One is about ' territory' as our species currently, or in the near future might interpreter it / implements' it. Plural. The the other, Star Trek, explores the idea of a future where even our conceived notions of our current understanding of everything both known and unknown to our being is simply another word or galaxy away. Given our nature, exploration seems to be hardwired . It's how I suppose some might consider the British to be the Cuckoo of humanity, in that it spreads its genetic material around other territories, without hanging around to pick up the date.
