    This was the best scene in the movie by far.

    For everything wrong with the story, the greatest thing they did was to capture her excitement and innocence, the joy of seeing flowers and plants, the thrill of flying.
    Unfortunately, a Superman showing this kind of innocence comes across as too naive, but the actress here did an amazing job.

    Granted, this film is very uneven. It suffers mainly from a lazy script (with too much camp and a lack of dramatic tension). But it still has its moments of brilliance, such as this scene (the most beautiful flying ballet of all superhero movies, all the more spectacular as it's devoid of CGI), and Helen Slater is perfect in her dual role of Kara/Linda. I find her character refreshing because if Superman just pretends to be bumbling Clark Kent, Linda is genuinely naive and awkward.
    This movie is definitely a guilty pleasure and I love it! God bless its cast and crew! 👍👍👏👏

    Beautiful flying scene! Helen nailed the character, and her discovery of flight. Better than Man of Steel and the Supergirl TV series after season 1. Which is a shame, since season 1 was wonderful. Anyway, I still love the 1984 film. Started out as a misfire, now it's value increased ten fold due to the excellent score, flying effects, Helen's performance, practical stunts and the extended cut. Plus that Superman photo scene was emotional. I wish Chris and Helen had a moment together on screen, it would have been historic. But I'm glad they got to meet in real life.

    No matter what they all say, this film (while suffers from the script) is underrated! Helen Slater, the production design, and Jerry Goldsmith's score were the real factors of the film that really succeeds! Also... WHERE THE HECK IS THE BLU RAY FOR THIS FILM?! Hope it gets the same treatment as the Superman films did, since this is apart of the franchise. The extended director's cut also needs a fixing in sound and picture quality! I'll be most happiest Supergirl fan to hear if this ever happens!

    If you slow down the scene of Supergirl rising out of the water, you'll see that it is just a photo cutout of her being pulled up by a wire. It's so simple, yet so effective when watching at full speed.

      I like how the emergence of each power appears symbolically feminine and not purely destructive for action sake.
      They didn't try to make her a try hard tomboy stud like what's been done with Sasha Calle.
      Crushing the hard rock but not destroying it, more like fertilizing the ground. More of a playful transformation, and shows the rebirth cycle, which is on her chest and borrowed from both the infinity symbol ♾️ and the Ouroboros (snake eating its own tail)
      Uses her ray vision to bloom the flower. Again, not denying it fulfillment, purpose or life, it has matured and may do what it was destined to do. The flower was plucked up and empowered just as she was from her home planet.
      Flying through the valley with a mountain in the background. Rather harmonious. Not in disharmony with the gender dichotomy both of those represent.
      All her displays of power are linked. Probably not an intentional trinity.
      I don't quite have the words but that's the impression I get.
