[@Maulbert]

Why is it unlisted?

[@eldritchmorgasm4018]

Watched it thanks to the link provided. 👍🏻 Quite touching, very well done. Something like that is needed with SW. But I don't understand the story & context here. Haven't watched what came before. And I haven't watched everything of "Discovery", because it's total shite, and about nothing of "Not-Picard", so I'm missing a lot, I guess. Most important question, what could be the reason for Kirk to come back, just to say goodbye to Spock? As mentioned, there seems to be connections to V'ger from the 1st movie (my personal Number 1 ST thing, ST6 being a close 2nd), so that detail is interesting. I hope this get's explained later on. There's more coming, I guess.

A few years back at a comic con, William Shatner said he was working on a top secret project that involved de-aging. He was blown away with their work.

We were eating dinner while I was watching and I started crying uncontrollably, so much emotion just overwhelmed me. My wife had to cuddle me. The memory of watching Start Trek, my mom taking me to my first Trek move Star Trek VI. She passed a little over a year ago.

[@lfrands]

My condolences on your mom, and thank you for sharing your beautiful memory with us. This is what Star Trek is all about. Live long and prosper, crewmate💙

[@cjdavis2684]

My sympathies on the passing of your Mother. I can very much relate I lost both my Mother, and my Father. It's hard to get over the loss of your Parents. I still am dealing with it myself. I remember my Mom bringing me home a model kit of the refit Enterprise when I was horribly sick... And both my parents sitting down and watching the Wrath of Khan with me . We both have special memories to always remember them with.

Congratulations on conquering the uncanny valley! Can you reveal what Kevin Feige’s role was? Is he going to get this de-aging technology to use in the MCU? Also, are all the new rapid-fire clips at the beginning a taster of short films yet to come?

[@morgan97475]

Just one thing: Great work! It was an absolutely genius move to get Giacchino for the OST. This was on one level with Horner, Goldsmith and Wiedmann / Barton.

[@LeonidasJaramillo-c8k]

Thank you so much for the attention and analysis of this. It was an honor working with OTOY, Jules, Carlos, Mark, and Dave on this. We are all enjoying the feedback of the fans. We are all in fact fans, and it is a joy to celebrate together.

[@firefly2k7uk]

This was quite frankly extraordinary work. My only sadness was that it was only 10 minutes long, it left me wanting more (as greedy as that sounds). Thanks for your work and the team put into this bringing it to reality.

[@jasonrobbins6944]

I thought it was more of Kirk’s introduction to the afterlife than being brought back to life. Entering eternity, the ultimate “final frontier.” Especially since we see Spock’s portrait from “Beyond “ before it gets inherited by his younger self.

[@TobyDeshane]

I assumed it was an afterlife, too. I'm fine with it being an ambiguous mystery left up to interpretation, though.

[@jjk28141984]

I'll third this theory.

[@MishraArtificer]

Or...Kirk was the one who made sure that Ethan Peck's Spock got the photo.

[@tomasjoconnel5367]

People should be warned this short will absolutely make you cry. And you will watch it again until the emotions are processed

[@tulinfirenze1990]

Actually I thought it was a little eerie. Not sure what the purpose of this was. I kinda kept waiting for it to start and "become something". And before anybody accuses me of being a n00b, I was watching TOS on re-runs in the '70's and have seen EVERY film at the cinema since TMP in 1979. Probably been a Trekker (yes, you read right) before most of you were born.

[@Connection500]

I was desperate for him to speak at the end. To simply say to Spock: "I have been, and always will be, your friend."

[@LimpingforJesus]

I was in tears watching. I love how all of trek was represented in a small way. That ending. 😢

[@barrymorgan5272]

The fact that there wasn't any dialogue other than the narration, makes this that much better. You're able to feel and see the emotions of the people that Kirk comes in contact with, to include Kirk himself.

[@jameswoodridge7712]

This is fascinatingly fantastic cinema! I am 60 years old and this little film moved me to tears. It was awesome seeing Kirk & Spock together again one last time. Everyone involved in this my hat is off to you. Thank you for this wonderful gift. It is priceless! 💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

[@jorgezarco9269]

I saw Star Trek Generations in a movie theater. It was November 1994. The DTS Surround Sound whipped my head back and forth. There was a mini-Star Trek convention in the lobby. Someone in the movie theater played Jerry Goldsmith music before the film started. There was a trailer for a Michael Keaton movie. The visual effects were a mix of ILM and Wavefront. Playmates made a "Captain Kirk in orbital skydiving costume" action figure.

[@peanut1001x]

[@grantmcgregor1571]

Oh, I thought Kirk died and in the end he became death for Spock to carry on peacefully. Unification, the souls of Spock and Kirk are once again united and are at peace. I guessed wrong.

[@Virgil38]

That's how I interpreted it. I think in this case, it's up to the viewer.

[@gerry-p9x]

OK KIRK STILL EXOSTS IN THE NEXXUS ALONG WITH PICARD AND GUINAN. MORE LIKE TEMPORAL SHADOWS OF THEMSELVES

Yes Sean, I'm a 58yr old man shedding a tear just watching your commentary. I will go watch this right now. THANK YOU for sharing

[@patricktilton5377]

Just watched it, and was getting Kubrickian "2001" vibes, with the three Kirks reminiscent of the three Dave Bowman avatars before he transforms into the 'Star-Child' in that alien 'hotel room'.

[@DomH75]

Nietzschean even! Also Sprach Zarathustra tells of the three ages of man, which Kubrick and Clarke used in 2001...

[@scottbassitt1452]

I got that vibe too, and it was just intensified knowing Gary Lockwood was Frank Poole in 2001.

[@michaeltodd2012]

Ditto, was thinking that also. Especially since it started out with Gary Mitchell then later did the three Captains. Still not sure why Mitchell is there unless just his memories returning.

[@cassieo]

Epic art piece. This was beautiful artistry on display. This is what digital mimicry is meant to do, to complete work that was left unfinished. We didn’t know we needed this piece until we saw it, but yes, I think it is absolutely essential viewing. Major kudos and congratulations to the team that produced this piece. What a marvelous gift to us all. Thank you for doing a piece on it, Sean, I would never have known about it otherwise.

[@TonyAnnechino]

I didn't know about this until THIS video. I cannot begin to describe the swell of emotions this brings me. I have no words that could do them justice. This is the goodbye we all desire, we all hope for at the end of our lives. To feel accomplished, cherished, fulfilled... loved. Even a Vulcan would be moved to tears.

[@captainmorgue.i.t.s]

This was such great moment for us fans and brings back so many fond memories... My mom would have loved this. We were both Star Trek fans since it first aired. I took her to see Deforest Kelly at the Statler Hilton Hotel StarTrek Convention. He saw us in the audience and called my mom on stage and put his arm around her. (I'll never forget the smile on my mom's face!) He was so nice to her... (R.I.P. to both of them.) Years later, I went with my friend to the 1st STtng convention also at the Statler Hilton Hotel. We decided to take a break and went to the local bar to have a few drinks... When we sat down, to our surprise, sitting across the bar was Johnathan Frakes. I bought him a drink, and said, "We're just fans!" He raised his and we did a toast together. It was awesome! (I didn't want to bother him anymore, so I left him alone and went back to the convention with my friend.) Later on, after his appearance, Johnathan was walking though the crowd. He saw us and walked over to us, just to shake our hands. (I didn't even think he would remember our faces let alone go to trouble to shake our hands!) (We were all so young then...) Thanks for this marvelous masterpiece that stirs up so many fond memories of those whom we've lost/ have touched our lives and warm out hearts forever...❤🖖

[@emmaconway4274]

I’m in bits. I’m in my kitchen crying over this. Honestly wasn’t expecting this

[@DomH75]

This short film is a reminder that fast cutting and therapy-speak are no substitute for pure cinema's use of images and raw emotions on an actor's face. If only that level of maturity could be applied to a modern Star Trek production. I don't count new series with new actors as being in the same timeline: they're very welcome to exist as another reality. This short was the Star Trek I grew up with and I love. Some of my earliest memories of Star Trek are from the late 1970s. I'll be 50 in a few weeks - not far off Kirk's crisis age in Star Trek II. This was a real gut punch of a film. A thing of beauty. It was needed.

[@tomasjoconnel5367]

I think one can overlook those little imperfections, and whatever angle you look at it from, I think you'll agree, it was a damn good way of rounding off the characters, and bringing them around full circle. In my case, it brought me around to where I started watching it first time, almost 50 years ago. It is a nice way to honour, not just the characters, but all of us fans as well.

[@STNeish]

Back in 1990, I ran a Star Trek TNG RPG at University of Guelph, where the player crew "rescued" a marooned Starfleet Officer that proved to be Gary Mitchell. I thought he was a character deserving of another story, it's kind of nice to see him here. Indeed, they eventually escaped from him by blowing him out into space, which it seems is where he is in this!

[@AZLionheart312]

While this short film did not make me cry, I was absolutely blown away by it. I shared it with my brother and he felt the same way. It is such a good piece.

[@Nomad77ca]

[@sumpta]

Wow. Just wow. There are no words to describe the emotion of this piece to long time fans like me. Bringing together every iteration of Trek from TOS to Picard and beyond. It is just … wow.

[@CurseTheCosmos]

I was completely ignorant to how big this project actually was. Being taken aback by the names attached to the end credits is an understatement. That being said, while I still have a hard time vibing with de-aging/deep faking actors, I still appreciated the sentiment behind this.

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

Well to be fair a lot of that is done in secrecy with little details surfacing unless they actually publish something to tease it. And i really like that approach or being as lowkey as possible and then simply blowing everything away with the final result. I largely stayed ignorant about their work too until every now and then something gets released and i always have a good feeling in my tummy. They don't have to brag constantly. They seem to be very confident about the quality of what they are working on and what they have to offer and for all the right reasons. The impact is even bigger without all the weeks full of PR campaigns you would usually see with hollywood productions.

[@margaretgladwell1371]

This was beautifully done. Brought tears to my eyes. I saw all the Star Trek films with my Mum and I lost her 3 years ago. She would have loved this.

[@Tuskin38]

I think The park Kirk meets Saavik in is on the Enterprise-J. The same shots of that park from above are used in the archive on the Ent-J page Kevin Feige from marvel is also in the special thanks which is interesting

[@MadSpectre47]

Isn't the Enterprise J from the 2570s?

[@jacklai633]

I also noticed Kevin Fiege in the Special Thanks section!

[@twocvbloke]

Have to say, I too am one of the many with tears in my eyes, having already blubbed like an idiot seeing the Enterprise-D returning to life, now we have Shatner reprise a somehow revived Kirk, even if it's non-speaking and very likely for the final time for him, it's heartwarming to say the least, having also been one of the many having seen Generations in the cinema, seeing two of the great Trek greats being so unceremoniously lost to history, and now, 30 years on, we got them both back and given a proper sendoff...

[@RationalGamers]

I'm pretty amazed how much they could fit in to such a short film with no dialogue. It gives a perfect send off to the original Kirk and Spock characters and gives us some tidbits that fit just so well into canon. I think it's a bit more meta than it seems, though because the name 'Unification' is obviously in reference to bringing best friends back together but maybe also because it covers OG Star Trek, Kelvin and Disco (parts of the fanbase that tend not to get on so well), it's almost like it's trying to unify all of Star Trek and the fanbase in celebration of Star Trek as a whole.

[@GeoChild]

I like this interpretation. 👍🏾

[@darrenbarrett638]

The first time I watched this, I thought this was all happening inside The Nexus (as part of Generation 30th celebration) but I am happy to be wrong and to have Shatners Kirk back out there in the cosmos, each time I’ve watched it, the emotions are real, this is what Star Trek is all about 🖖

[@thomashaden9830]

This would be Alpha canon to me. I agree this could be the last time we see William Shatner as Kirk on screen. Watching this was bringing back memories as a child seeing Generations for the first time in theaters with my dad and balling my eyes out with the destruction of the D and the death of Kirk. My great great grandmother would let me watch the original series when it ran on syndication on TV every time I visited her as a child. I can remember having a bowl of popcorn and waiting for the show to come on. And with the premier of the Next Generation when I was 8 years old just blew me away as a kid. From then on I absorbed everything Star Trek.

[@Echostation3T8]

Beautiful item. Ensign Ferrick: The point where Kirk sits at Spock’s bedside is pretty much the same as they did in TMP. I’m 53 and that’s the moment the room filled with dust for some reason =P

[@gestaltdude]

Can someone please run the numbers and compare the time between Gary Lockwood's appearances as Mitchell with William Russell's return as Ian Chesterton in Power of the Doctor? That return gave William a world record for longest time between character appearances, which I think may have been broken now by Gary.

[@johnpendergraph6952]

My thought exactly. Though I'm not sure I want that record broken.

[@CountScarlioni]

David Graham may also be in the running due to him returning to play the same Dalek in "The "Daleks in Colour" revamp after 60 years. But discounting that it's 58 Years for Mitchell, 57 for Chesterton so yes, Gary Lockwood probably now inherits the record - although perhaps with caveats regarding technical jiggery-pokery and the question of what does and does not count as a broadcast.

[@djco5782]

The criteria are a bit nebulous, as William Russell had reprised the role in a direct-to-video short and on audio before Power; the record was specifically related to appearances in the same TV show, discounting suplimentary material. I'm not sure this would be comparable.

[@CullenRick]

When I read the astounding number of well-known names at the end it cemented the fact that this is full alpha canon to me. The words that you used were the best ones. Beautiful. Special. I certainly agree that these need to be brought into the fold though Paramount.

[@benjaminstock5334]

But what was the message? It has the “Actual Star Trek” tone down to a T, but what does it actually do to examine humanity? It just feels like an examination, while in reality, it’s just making us feel fuzzy. I love this short film deeply, but I want Star Trek and its messaging to go forward, setting a star for humanity in its current state. Now… if only we had someone who could do that. Tony Gilroy, maybe?

Generations is one of my favourite of all the great screen adventures, and it also resonates with me on a personal level, as me and my wife have no children, and ...

Couldn't help but think that Kirk and Spock holding hands was a direct nod to Star Trek: TMP. Spock says "This simple feeling is beyond V'ger's comprehension...is this all that I am, is there nothing more?" Yes I know Spock has been dead before but I think this was Kirk helping Spock to see that there is more.

That was the first Star Trek Movie I got to see in the theatre, with major Action Figures, Pins, shirts; - etc. etc. etc. (...) and I got a Polaroid taking my picture on one of those TOS 2-man Transporters on Space Station K-7. Surreal, being able to remember it like a Camcorder Taping.

[@WrestlingWithGaming]

Generations was my first Trek film in theaters too. Yeah, it's got a few kinda big plot holes but I still think it's a great film, made even better retroactively by season 3 of Picard. Plus, being my first Trek film in theaters it'll always hold a special place in my heart. Great job with this breakdown of Otoy's masterpiece. What they're doing is nothing short of incredible. It's not just the meticulous 3D work, Otoy's cinematography, directing, and most importantly, storytelling, is exquisite. It's amazing they brought back so many of the original actors.

So in TNG season 3 when Picard tells Riker that he encountered Sarek previously only once at his son's wedding, it was at Spock's and Saavik's wedding? Paramount and CBS have damaged the franchise enough, they should just leave it as it is and lift their stupid fan films restrictions they implemented ten years ago.

I always have felt that we go through that white light when we pass. We see all that was close to us. We don't talk-nod each other and smile. It's just beautiful. Kirk/Spock both pass on together. And they should have. This could have been included in Star Trek Beyond during the end credits. (It would have been a nice bookend to such beloved characters.) Gonna be a wild time to see what they can come up with for a full-length movie.
