When I saw this for the first time I fell in love with this Enterprise, If I were to choose 1 ship out of al Science Fiction shows this one would be it!!!
I don't know if it was cannon or not but I saw a video on the history of the Constitution Refit Class project and it stated in the beginning the Constitution Class was beginning to show it's age and was on the verge of being decommissioned in favor of new Starship classes like the Miranda Class that came into service at the same time but because of the famous voyages of the Enterprise and her crew that became heroes in the eyes of Federation citizens Starfleet command decided it was time for the Constitution Class to get a serious upgrade so because of her history and as a hero ship to the Federation the Enterprise was chosen for those upgrades that were built into the Miranda Class and so the Constitution Refit Class was born with the Enterprise being the Federation Flagship.
This was surely the best StarTrek. Photography awesome, awesome music, awesome storyline, clever, cerebral and compatible with what was expected of a film version of the series, without resort to conflicts between people and star wars. A true journey into the unknown, to save humanity. TMP was the best of StarTreks, and this did not betray its essence.
This is one of the most beautiful scenes in the whole Star Trek movie series. Great filmography, the unveiling of the refitted Enterprise A, the timeless Jerry Goldsmith score -- everything came together perfectly. Beautiful, just beautiful.
This is fantastic and the musical score makes it even better...still brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye just as it did when i saw it on its cinema release......fabulous!!!
IMHO Paramount owed this to us old timers. The effects budget on the TOS kept getting in the way and the effects were less than wonderful. When I saw this in the movie I was totally flabbergasted. Awesome!!
If any ship could be called an angel, it'd be her. Nothing else in Star Trek comes close to being this beautiful. This scene always leaves me breathless.
Tthe best enterprises montage among all ST productions ever made..the 75 motion picture paved the way that eventually lead to TNG,DS9,Voyager,etc,hope the 2009 ST does the same
Are you kidding? This was a FANTASTIC film! The "traveling through V'ger " sequence was a little long, but it was a great science fiction story told in the classic Star Trek style.
I saw St- TMp on Opening Day on Decmeber 7th, 1979. I can't believe I was a kid once ! I was mesmorized. I recall getting dizzy from vertigo when the camera twisted over the Bridge of the Klingon Warship at the start of the movie. I remember hearing that other people had that happen to them too ! It was a big mistake that the Blue Warp lights were not included into the remastered version of the Original Ship( now Legend,like the Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues). The ship should light up !
See how Kirk is gazing at Enterprise as one would a long-lost lover, and Scotty is enjoying every moment of Kirk's approval. Add the wonderful Goldsmith score and sweeping cinematography, and this becomes the ultimate reveal of a spacecraft in sci-fi history. Abrams wouldn't even know how to begin making a Trek this good. Still puts a shiver up my spine 30 odd years later.
1701 refit is definitely the most aesthetically pleasing of all the ships. It's always been my favorite by far. This scene is not overdone at all. A real naval captain would probably take 5 laps around the ship, then spend several hours inspecting the inside of the ship. What's awesome about this movie and what Hollywood has lost is the ability to not rush and just enjoy the cinematography of a scene. Too many directors are just focused on keeping the adrenaline up.
Are you kidding???? The "Peek-a-boo" scenes of her are some of the best cinamatography EVER. In the book, Scotty does this fly-by on purpose to make Kirk WAIT to see the lady in her new outfit!!! OUTSTANDING!! I still tear up!
Some things just shouldn't be rushed. And this is a very good example of the director indulging himself. It's perfectly paced and Jerry Goldsmith's score was just superb - right down to the final docking of the pod at 4:21 to 4:35 Never better!!!
@STNeish Not only see it again after 10 years, but see it in magnificent awesomeness that the TV show never had the budget to do. Totally agree, love this scene.
I remember this scene well when I was 14 in the movie theater. Up until this movie came out, Star Trek (TV) effects were cheesy at best. STTMP finally gave fans, Star Wars quality effects. Of all the ST movies, this is still my favorite scene. The music really sold it.
A lot of people criticize this scene for being too long and pointless. To me, it's one of the best moments in the whole film. This is the reunion of Star Trek fans with their beloved USS ENTERPRISE, which they hadn't seen in 10 years. They needed to give us a chance to drink in the atmosphere, to catch our breath at our first glimpse of her. Jerry Goldsmith's score captures the moment absolutely perfectly, and gives me chills every - single - time.
Well, it's a lot of psychological stuff involving ego and a desire to see things never change. The same thing happened when Next Generation came out but eventually everyone got along. I'm personally not a fan of Abrams new angle BUT to each their own...and you can't argue with the box office returns. Plus, you're not the first person I've met who found TOS through the 2009 movie. Glad you've joined the fan club. Welcome, my friend. and of course Live long and prosper.
Actually this scene is quite plastic, and has a profound meaning for those who saw the original series: The reunion of the captain with his ship; Whoever has served the Navy, will understand the greatness of this moment... What a respectful way to show the magnitude of this Nave, in its various angles. Masterpiece
I saw this movie on opening day in 1979. wehen we saw this ship, which was the updated version of the original vessel from the 1960s, We realised we were looking at the one and only ship that took us out there and came back to be put into protective storage until needed again. she then earned Legend Status to a people that have never left the Earth or seen anything except basic early NASA photos of the Solar System
for me this ship is a source of inspiration and dreams yet to be fullfilled. for it is a ship of discovery with a mission to seek out new life and new civilizations without fear and prejudice.
@STNeish At 15, I saw the first Star Trek episode televised in Australia. Prior to showing it was billed as 'the future, today", and words similar to this. I had to see it. I begged, promised my life away, if only I could be allowed to watch the first episode. I did, and at the end of 30 minutes, I was 'transported', filled with wonder, and curiosity. I still wonder, and remain curious. Your words are my thoughts. 'She' is a fine ship.
@awilliams1701 You're right. Robert April was actually the first Captain of the ENTERPRISE. Actually, the black collar uniforms were worn on the premiere episode, "The Man Trap". 8Sep66. The big complaint from NBC was that the pilot was too ceribral. =Stefan=
This is such an epic scene! I love the way they really give you an idea of the enormous scale of the ship! the new Enterprise has absolutley nothing on this one!
@BryanRiel You're right...but as a life-long fan...someone who saw the original series in the 60s on a b/w tv in a small Aussie town, I lived in hope that we would achieve something like the "Federation" in the future. When I watched the moon landing as a kid I was sure we were heading in the right direction. And now...it's all been pissed away to the wind. So sad...so very sad.
yeah, i always wanted to meet my favorite engineer. it was a dream i had eversince i first saw it. it broke my heart to find out he died. but, i'll still get to meet him one day.
@bluemax111f it seemed like a long time but it was just 10 years between the series and the movie. we did the same thing - historic, pop culture at its finest. THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!
I have no problem with the new Enterprise in the Abrams version of Star Trek. However, with this reveal of the Enterprise in Star Trek I... when the pod swings around and the music builds when everyone sees the ship head on... it looks like a chariot. One of my favorite cinematic sequences of all time.
@ginster The transporters were scrambling people into meat sauce. Though in actuality they needed to pad out the movie since the script was for a 1.5 hour TV pilot.
Without a doubt the best ship in Starfleet. Whenever someone needs an ass whuppin' Starfleet sends in the USS ENTERPRISE with Captain Kirk in command to take care of the problem. End result...problem solved.
@terrywest I agree with you mate, Its the best looking enterprise, I think the new movie enterprise basicly took this ships saucer section and the TOS nachelles and said we got an enterprise, I didnt much like it... This shall always be the Enterprise to me...
I just love how this is the only ship in ANYTHING to receive this much attention on screen. It really couldn't work with any of the others. They're all grey and clunky looking. Even the E doesn't have the grace that this ship radiates. This is the Enterprise.
wow that was long. But you got a good feel for the ship. which is actually small in comparison to the newer ships. but then again some of the newer ships are getting smaller
@Mozart1220 I think I understand you, but you can not deny that this small piece of the film faithfully translate the profound relationship between capitan, crew and their ship, a ship that has become e entity, a ship that became a myth, a ship that arouses devotion: USS-Enterprise. The enterprise does not say a word, but you feel respect about it, you feel as it was alive. Even today, I have not seen a feature film to be made to better comply with an original TV series, as this one.
@Tamadrummer1981 Agreed, though I'm partial to the original version for the refit made for "Star Trek: Phase II" since the dimensions were more accurate.
The Refitted Constitution Class ships are still sweet looking even by today's standards in Star Trek. None of the others just come close in how they look.
@leocmen My "Trek IV" would have been more like the "A-Team" With the regular cast being chased by both the Federation and the Klingons, while still working to help the Federation. They had every skillset they needed, and it would have been fun to see them finding ways to travel and work for the common good, while on the run. Oh well, it is what it is and I'm still a HUGE fan.
This Enterprise is the best I love How the pylons swing back the way they do and the Nacels sit so perfectly ! I hate the New Enterprise in the Newest movie how they have the pylons bowed out like that when the next movie comes out hope that changes but doubt it.
The most beautiful vessel ever created, only two movies later was she to be damaged and then destroyed its a shame they will never resurrect this particular fine vessel
couldn't say it better my point exactly too. I guest hollywood wants to attract the video game generation audience hense the insane speed of action. I saw the new trek movie, good, but ions from this type of epic cinematography.
@krim7 I was quoting Scotty! in the episode Relics on TNG! remember? when he wants the recreation of the bridge of the original enterprise in the Holodeck, the computer asks what enterprise, and he says the first, not a b c d, i exagerated the line XD/ I like all of them, especially the original. But I do think that the most beatiful and most well-balanced is the refit one :-). What Enterprise do you like more?
...I don't understand why one can't be a TNG fan and still enjoy this scene. Yeah, it's a little overdone, but it's a beautiful ship and I get the emotion behind it.
God I love this theme. It would have made J. J. Abrams' Star Trek feel so much more like a Star Trek movie (and not a Hollywood fan film) if they would've used it. They had changed SO many things for the movie (character's back stories and in some chases personalities) to make it fit "new time line" story, but did they have to change the theme song too?
@awilliams1701 When Pike was in command, the uniform shirts were NOT the ones with the black collar. They were more of a rurtle neck with the collar the same as the rest of the shirt. The breast insignia was approximately 1/3 of the size. Ref "Menagerie" or the original pilot to see what I'm saying. =Stefan=
well said, A supposed Trek fan told me the other day trek 09 was a good star trek film.. It wasn't it was a good entertainment/action film that happened to be called star trek.. But its not what star trek is meant to be...
As I've said before, the new Star Trek movie had to have been written by the programming staff at CBS. That movei is reminiscent of something Irwin Allen would write, not Gene Roddenberry. Definately didn't have an understanding of science. If your interested, try finding a copy of 'inside Star Trek' produced by Columbia Records back in 1976. You'll find it gives some good insights.
If Admiral Kirk's predecessors,Robert April & Christopher Pike,who had been in command of The Enterprise before him saw that ship in person with a whole new design,they'd be both amazed at her brand new look,on the outside & the inside.
This makes me think of the McCoy quote from the pilot episode of TNG.... "So this is the new Enterprise... well she's got the right name. Now you remember that.... you treat her like a lady... and she'll always bring you home."
This Enterprise will live forever in the hearts of Star trek fans forever.
This is my favourite scene in Star Trek. Such a gorgeous ship.
When I saw this for the first time I fell in love with this Enterprise, If I were to choose 1 ship out of al Science Fiction shows this one would be it!!!
By far THE BEST-Enterprise that there ever was!!! Beautifully proportioned-elegant and sleek!!! Give me this version anyday!!!
I remember that day in the cinema. Thanks!
That's so sweet!!! The Enterprise will be in our hearts forever, our wonderful dream-world!!!
I don't know if it was cannon or not but I saw a video on the history of the Constitution Refit Class project and it stated in the beginning the Constitution Class was beginning to show it's age and was on the verge of being decommissioned in favor of new Starship classes like the Miranda Class that came into service at the same time but because of the famous voyages of the Enterprise and her crew that became heroes in the eyes of Federation citizens Starfleet command decided it was time for the Constitution Class to get a serious upgrade so because of her history and as a hero ship to the Federation the Enterprise was chosen for those upgrades that were built into the Miranda Class and so the Constitution Refit Class was born with the Enterprise being the Federation Flagship.
that scene is of a man who hasn't seen his lover in many years. Noticing that she is more beautiful than ever.
This was surely the best StarTrek. Photography awesome, awesome music, awesome storyline, clever, cerebral and compatible with what was expected of a film version of the series, without resort to conflicts between people and star wars. A true journey into the unknown, to save humanity. TMP was the best of StarTreks, and this did not betray its essence.
This is one of the most beautiful scenes in the whole Star Trek movie series. Great filmography, the unveiling of the refitted Enterprise A, the timeless Jerry Goldsmith score -- everything came together perfectly. Beautiful, just beautiful.
Actually the ship in this movie is not the ncc-1701a Enterprise it's the original the A's predecessor beautiful nonetheless though.
i Remember This Scene From Opening Day In December 1979
2:30 the look of a proud father seein his child grow up 😂😂😂😂
I remember in theaters when this came out in... 1982 everone was like yeah!!!!
This is fantastic and the musical score makes it even better...still brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye just as it did when i saw it on its cinema release......fabulous!!!
I saw this originally at the theater. It was and still is one of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen. Everyone cheered.
IMHO Paramount owed this to us old timers. The effects budget on the TOS kept getting in the way and the effects were less than wonderful. When I saw this in the movie I was totally flabbergasted. Awesome!!
If any ship could be called an angel, it'd be her. Nothing else in Star Trek comes close to being this beautiful. This scene always leaves me breathless.
Tthe best enterprises montage among all ST productions ever made..the 75 motion picture paved the way that eventually lead to TNG,DS9,Voyager,etc,hope the 2009 ST does the same
Are you kidding? This was a FANTASTIC film! The "traveling through V'ger " sequence was a little long, but it was a great science fiction story told in the classic Star Trek style.
She will always be the most beautiful and best ship that ever sailed in the ocean of space, OUR Enterprise.
I saw St- TMp on Opening Day on Decmeber 7th, 1979.
I can't believe I was a kid once !
I was mesmorized. I recall getting dizzy from vertigo when the camera twisted over the Bridge of the Klingon Warship at the start of the movie. I remember hearing that other people had that happen to them too !

2:09 the front view of the Enteprise looks so majestic lol :).
Some things just shouldn't be rushed. And this is a very good example of the director indulging himself. It's perfectly paced and Jerry Goldsmith's score was just superb - right down to the final docking of the pod at 4:21 to 4:35 Never better!!!
@STNeish Not only see it again after 10 years, but see it in magnificent awesomeness that the TV show never had the budget to do. Totally agree, love this scene.
I love the Motion Picture
I also have every episode
and games but realy every
star trek movie, game, episode
is great
This.....by far....is the most beautiful of the ships named enterprise.
may the grand old lady fly for another 45 years. happy birthday star trek
I remember this scene well when I was 14 in the movie theater. Up until this movie came out, Star Trek (TV) effects were cheesy at best. STTMP finally gave fans, Star Wars quality effects. Of all the ST movies, this is still my favorite scene. The music really sold it.
I remember the theater breaking out in cheers at 2:00. Star Trek was back, baby!
2:00 Just gave me goosebumps.
A lot of people criticize this scene for being too long and pointless. To me, it's one of the best moments in the whole film. This is the reunion of Star Trek fans with their beloved USS ENTERPRISE, which they hadn't seen in 10 years.

and of course Live long and prosper.
we are vessels for our souls what wrong with admiring a vessel to take body, mind and soul to new reaches, not boring at all
Kirk looked as if he was about to cry in one scene.
EPIC!!! And this is coming from a fan of Star Wars and Star Trek Voyager.
Admiral Kirk has found his lost love. It was his destinty to command a starship. This movie has a great soundtrack.
Actually this scene is quite plastic, and has a profound meaning for those who saw the original series: The reunion of the captain with his ship; Whoever has served the Navy, will understand the greatness of this moment... What a respectful way to show the magnitude of this Nave, in its various angles. Masterpiece
It's the best Enterprise ...and will always be...no damn a, b, c, d, e, nx, or alternate reality......that's THE Enterprise
Every time I see this it almost makes me cry how beautiful she is. I know why kirk
loved this ship!!
I saw this movie on opening day in 1979. wehen we saw this ship, which was the updated version of the original vessel from the 1960s, We realised we were looking at the one and only ship that took us out there and came back to be put into protective storage until needed again. she then earned Legend Status to a people that have never left the Earth or seen anything except basic early NASA photos of the Solar System
A masterpiece moment. great music score too.
She's beautiful
God, I am such a nerd, because this scene never fails to bring a tear to my eye.
Thank you Mr Scott.
The most goregeous ship ive seen in star trek history :D
That's MY Enterprise!
Do you hear me Abrams?!
for me this ship is a source of inspiration and dreams yet to be fullfilled. for it is a ship of discovery with a mission to seek out new life and new civilizations without fear and prejudice.
@STNeish

After so many years this old Lady newer lost her magical, classic and iconic look .
I preferred the tubular warp nacelles, but yeah. The basic look was without rival.
This is such an epic scene! I love the way they really give you an idea of the enormous scale of the ship! the new Enterprise has absolutley nothing on this one!
@BryanRiel
You're right...but as a life-long fan...someone who saw the original series in the 60s on a b/w tv in a small Aussie town, I lived in hope that we would achieve something like the "Federation" in the future. When I watched the moon landing as a kid I was sure we were heading in the right direction. And now...it's all been pissed away to the wind. So sad...so very sad.
@kubalibre77
I think the Enterprise-E (Soverign) which heavily takes from this design is a close second.
yeah, i always wanted to meet my favorite engineer. it was a dream i had eversince i first saw it. it broke my heart to find out he died. but, i'll still get to meet him one day.
This is the sexiest Enterprise ever built...and it's not CGI...this was made when model making really meant something.
Only one word can describe this: EPIC!
i like this one i havent seen enterprice c for ages
Agreed, there's nothing pointless about this scene and it's one of my favorites in the movie.
This ship is by far the most beautiful one to bear the name, Enterprise.
You can keep your B,C,D,E ships.
@bluemax111f it seemed like a long time but it was just 10 years between the series and the movie. we did the same thing - historic, pop culture at its finest. THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!
i cry every time i watch this but ya know the good cry ^.^
I have no problem with the new Enterprise in the Abrams version of Star Trek. However, with this reveal of the Enterprise in Star Trek I... when the pod swings around and the music builds when everyone sees the ship head on... it looks like a chariot. One of my favorite cinematic sequences of all time.
@ginster The transporters were scrambling people into meat sauce. Though in actuality they needed to pad out the movie since the script was for a 1.5 hour TV pilot.
Admiral Kirk sure liked the Enterprise's new design both inside & outside. She got another elevator for the bridge.
LMFAO ...well i was really freaking happy w/A at end of ST4 movie!!! =) (entire theater errupted and all geeks screamed our praise)
Without a doubt the best ship in Starfleet. Whenever someone needs an ass whuppin' Starfleet sends in the USS ENTERPRISE with Captain Kirk in command to take care of the problem. End result...problem solved.
@terrywest I agree with you mate, Its the best looking enterprise, I think the new movie enterprise basicly took this ships saucer section and the TOS nachelles and said we got an enterprise, I didnt much like it... This shall always be the Enterprise to me...
@bluemax111f I always wondered what that was like.
And I always wondered why Scotty didn't dock at the command deck airlock.
I just love how this is the only ship in ANYTHING to receive this much attention on screen. It really couldn't work with any of the others. They're all grey and clunky looking. Even the E doesn't have the grace that this ship radiates. This is the Enterprise.
wow that was long. But you got a good feel for the ship. which is actually small in comparison to the newer ships. but then again some of the newer ships are getting smaller

Pure perfection..

The Refitted Constitution Class ships are still sweet looking even by today's standards in Star Trek. None of the others just come close in how they look.
Maybe it's me. But Shatner got cooler from '79 on. Espec. in ST II. Love the pre-CGI effects. They make toys look so damn real!
Thank you indeed Mr Scott!
only movie i ever fell asleep while watching in a movie theatre
I always get goosebumps at 2:01 :D
That cello solo is me. :D
@leocmen My "Trek IV" would have been more like the "A-Team" With the regular cast being chased by both the Federation and the Klingons, while still working to help the Federation. They had every skillset they needed, and it would have been fun to see them finding ways to travel and work for the common good, while on the run. Oh well, it is what it is and I'm still a HUGE fan.
This Enterprise is the best I love How the pylons swing back the way they do and the Nacels sit so perfectly ! I hate the New Enterprise in the Newest movie how they have the pylons bowed out like that when the next movie comes out hope that changes but doubt it.
The most beautiful vessel ever created, only two movies later was she to be damaged and then destroyed its a shame they will never resurrect this particular fine vessel
In his mind "hey girl its me" its what u get when u fell in love because the enterprise is the best
couldn't say it better
my point exactly too.
I guest hollywood wants to attract the video game generation audience hense
the insane speed of action. I saw the new trek movie, good, but ions from this type of epic cinematography.
That random TNG episode is one of the best: "Yesterday's Enterprise"
@krim7 I was quoting Scotty! in the episode Relics on TNG! remember? when he wants the recreation of the bridge of the original enterprise in the Holodeck, the computer asks what enterprise, and he says the first, not a b c d, i exagerated the line XD/ I like all of them, especially the original. But I do think that the most beatiful and most well-balanced is the refit one :-). What Enterprise do you like more?
@gotchaf4i it is United Space Ship.
It has that "New Ship" smell💯
...I don't understand why one can't be a TNG fan and still enjoy this scene.
Yeah, it's a little overdone, but it's a beautiful ship and I get the emotion behind it.
God I love this theme. It would have made J. J. Abrams' Star Trek feel so much more like a Star Trek movie (and not a Hollywood fan film) if they would've used it. They had changed SO many things for the movie (character's back stories and in some chases personalities) to make it fit "new time line" story, but did they have to change the theme song too?
@awilliams1701 When Pike was in command, the uniform shirts were NOT the ones with the black collar. They were more of a rurtle neck with the collar the same as the rest of the shirt. The breast insignia was approximately 1/3 of the size. Ref "Menagerie" or the original pilot to see what I'm saying. =Stefan=
well said, A supposed Trek fan told me the other day trek 09 was a good star trek film.. It wasn't it was a good entertainment/action film that happened to be called star trek.. But its not what star trek is meant to be...
@TheRhinehart86 It's easier to come to mind than SFV and also pays homage to a real hero ship, the USS Enterprise carrier.
As I've said before, the new Star Trek movie had to have been written by the programming staff at CBS. That movei is reminiscent of something Irwin Allen would write, not Gene Roddenberry. Definately didn't have an understanding of science.
If your interested, try finding a copy of 'inside Star Trek' produced by Columbia Records back in 1976. You'll find it gives some good insights.
If Admiral Kirk's predecessors,Robert April & Christopher Pike,who had been in command of The Enterprise before him saw that ship in person with a whole new design,they'd be both amazed at her brand new look,on the outside & the inside.
This is and shall ever be my Enterprise.
This makes me think of the McCoy quote from the pilot episode of TNG.... "So this is the new Enterprise... well she's got the right name. Now you remember that.... you treat her like a lady... and she'll always bring you home."
I have to agree with you on this. I did enjoy the new films, but the enterprise is what I had the problem with the most.
