My fave is The Undiscovered Country when it comes to Kirk and crew but as for The Next Generation films it's First Contact. Rebooted aka Kelvin Era films? Beyond
Great job. Although I love the old models of course, one thing your recreation did really well was make the actual impact of the phasers against the ships' respective hulls look a hell of a lot more painful. It's so funny that if they had only listened to Lt Saavik...
That's true, but if you think of it like this, it does seem more plausible. I don't know what country you're from, but I'll use mine, but any country with a powerful navy would be the same. So, say you're not in a war (as in a world war....the U.S. is always in little skirmishes...sometimes not so little) and say (and I know they wouldn't travel like this, far from home, but aside from this, suspend your disbelief and just say this happened) a U.S. Battleship in U.S. waters would not garner suspicion of another U.S. ship. The only thing is I believe I read the Ceti Alpha V and VI was in Klingon space, but we've got to remember in the Star Trek universe, it's commonplace for Starships to travel alone. Makes for more compelling TV and movies. Ok, so aside from this, seeing another U.S. carrier let's say it's the real U.S.S. Enterprise CVN-80, (due to be launched in 2025 according to Wikipedia) go.shr.lc/2TJsOkW So, the Enterprise comes up against the USS John F. Kennedy. The Enterprise hails them and gets no response. The Enterprise is not going to just start shooting another U.S. ship unless it has confirmation it's been taken over by a hostile force (which would be highly unlikely....right). So, we don't have plasma shields yet (but we're working on it) so I don't know what type of alert system the Navy has when it's in a possibly dangerous situation. Ok so long story short, a U.S. Carrier or Destroyer, Cruiser etc, wouldn't fire on another U.S. ship unless they knew it had been hijacked, so if you take couple situations and just "go with it", I could buy it. Actually watching that clip again actually shows you how close they tried to model it after a Carrier or Sub. They have blast doors, doors that seal compartments. Also, all the new carriers are nuclear powered so that's sort of like a warp core breach, except I think people would just suffer from radiation poisoning. I don't think a nuclear-powered ship would just blow up, but leak radiation if it as hit sure. At any rate, none of this would happen because any ship traveling far from home would be in a battle group from any country.
You know, I don't think that I've ever responded to a video on TH-cam....but I really need to this time....WOW, this piece is INCREDIBLY well done !!!! I'm a HUGE Star Trek fan and the world's BIGGEST nitpicker of videos and this one was very, very well done. Thanks for this, good job!!!
Not really. The Borg as a concept were diminished by the introduction of the Queen and characters did not resemble their TV personas. (Angry)Piccard was nothing like TNG and Worf would have never spoken those lines to the man who defended his honor before the Klingon High Concil. Also they turned the already established character of Zephram Cochrane into unlikeable alcoholic. The commercial potential for a practical warp drive makes no sense if North America was still broke and recovering from WWWIII. It was a bad plot just admit it. People only like because it came off like an Trek action film. There are only two passable TNG movies and all of them are worse than the TOS ones save ST:V.
wuushew You’re overthinking it & clinging too closely to what you think Star Trek lore should be. It was a beautiful story about the triumph of the individual over collectivism & evil. Wrath of Khan is just a bad guy being a bad guy then he loses. Lol
wuushew You hit the nails right on the head. _First Contact_ was the beginning of a yet uncorrected nosedive for Star Trek Cinema. To this day IMO _Generations_ remains the last good Star Trek Movie; key word “Good” because it’s not great, but still superior in its story telling to everything that has followed.
There are but just a few select spaceborne battles that make the blood boil and the hairs curls. This is one of them. From the brazen attack by Khan to the typical subterfuge by Kirk, the result is spectacular and worthy of remembrance. Qapla' batlh jlH!
I love this scene. One problem I’ve always had with the scene, and another I just noticed; Spock tells Kirk the Reliant is locking phasers, he can see this from scans taken on the bridge of Enterprise. Yet while stalling for time, Sulu locks phasers on Reliant and they don’t notice. Something I just now noticed, Kahn is quoting old Klingon proverbs. Kahn lived in a time before interstellar travel, long before humans knew anything about any other humanoid species. He was awoken from hibernation briefly, then banished to Ceti Alpha 5. A short time later, the planets orbit was disturbed and they were left without communications for 20+ years. I doubt Kahn had time to study old Klingon proverbs during his brief time on Enterprise. He’d be far more likely to quote proverbs from human history. Still a great scene and great movie. I guess you just notice things if watch them often enough.
There is a novel out there about Khan's time on Ceti Alpha IV called "To Reign in Hell: The Exile of Khan Nonnien Signh" that explains how he came to learn those Klingon proverbs. Damn good book.
@@Scioneer... But think of how sturdy the Miranda and Excelsior classes were to make it to service in the 24th century when other classes of the time fell by the wayside... testament to good design!
@@DiscoRaptor I get that, my comment was more towards the production team treated the Miranda's then towards the Miranda herself. TWOK showed how tough the class was.
Awesome job. I like the impact effects of Reliant's phasers against the Enterprise's hull. It really looks like it's blowing away chunks of the hull. The scorch marks on Reliant's hull from Enterprise's return salvo are a nice touch!
One small over sight. The Reliant's warp stabilizer (blue dome) is intact in the very last shot. It was destroyed with a direct hit on second salvo from enterprise.
Same. Every scene is enhanced greatly by a truly fitting masterpiece. Sad to think he is no longer with us but at least we have this to treasure for all eternity.
Really liked that. I grew up watching this endlessly so I know the original scene extremely well and can see the differences you have created. Very impressive; enhances but does not take-away. The first strike against engineering was made somehow more horrific by your modifications. I'd like to see a modern-release with your SFX changes.
I love special effects and sci fi throughout history. How their image of the future still maintains elements of their own. Which ultimately makes it seem low tech for future generations. Which is the big struggle for generational series like this to explain away why common technology we have now didn't exist in the "future". Even thinking of TNG where a whole book was its own tablet, instead of being able to have every book you want to read on one tablet. It was just something you didn't think would be possible at the time, hell even putting a book on a tablet at the time seemed revolutionary at the time so how could they think even in their life time damn near the whole of human learning would be available on a wireless network on one device.
I liked how when the Reliant's phaser beam was hitting the Enterprise hull and fragments of the hull were flying off the hull to look like real damage was being done great job . Same when Enterprise did it to the Reliant in return .
Crew man: "Our shields are dropping!" Khan: "Raise them!" Crew man: "I can't!" Khan: "The override, where's the override?!" Piece of advice. Read THE WHOLE instructions manual.
For any fans wondering about the history of the computer prefix code: At the beginning of the Romulan-Starfleet War, the Romulans would use data hacking to cripple the computers and systems of Starfleet vessels. Once Starfleet realized what was going on, they hard encoded unique prefix codes to each ship's computer. These codes became required to be entered before outside access of a starship's systems could be accomplished.
The light and texturing on your models is FANTASTIC! Some of the most realistic CGI I have seen. It'd be cool though if you could make the photos more like the 'shards of light' 'glow' like in ST:TMP and ST:GEN. GEEZE this is a good movie! :D
My God, this it brilliant work! Beautifully updated, yet completely faithful to the original. The only question is, why am I just seeing this now, 9 years after it got uploaded?
One of the best space battles in movie history..still holds up today..even better than some of today's cgi crap..kirk was a beast here..its between him an picard who the better captain is..for me it's kirk.
I think for a number of scenes, your models work better than the original movie effects. There is a greater sense of size, scale and depth in some of what you have done. Very, very well done!
The way it was originally still seems good enough without the modifications. You can’t beat actual physical models. There is a presence to them computer animation doesn’t always capture.
Very nice! I've seen several of these types of recreations, where the effects are blown out of proportion, or show scenes not in the movie, but this one got it just right. In my opinion, it is what the movie would have looked like if the movie had had a much higher budget.
True, glad it didn't have a higher budget mind, afterall, ST 2, unlike the predecessor, was a far better return on the studio's investment and led to many more films and arguably everything else that followed. Thanks to Nick Meyer for showing Paramount that trek could make good money without emulating star wars, just wish they would believe in that potential again.
I love the work that you did on this recreation. It is so seamless and flawless that I couldn't tell the difference other than the image looked crisper. It's like watching a HD version of the original scene. You can definitely teach George Lucas on how to redo VFX on a movie from the 70's and 80's.
The portion your video featuring the first few shots the Reliant fires at Enterprise looks great. @2:36 The phaser fire seems to really dig into the Enterprise hull with more ferocity than what I remember seeing in the original film.
Dude, the initial phaser fire onto the Enterprise was fantastic - that is how a Phaser hit should look/feel like. It felt like a bombardment of hits, vs. the original movie's Surface Burn feel.. I would TOTALLY donate to have someone recreate the CGI of ST-TWOK in modern graphics...
Nice job! Good shot for shot recreation there! (And the characters...they look so real! Just kidding!) Nice job on those ships! Far better than I'm capable of right now. :)
I like the bit of camera shake you added when the Reliant's phaser bursts hit the Enterprise. As a constructive observation, it'd be nice to have the same camera shudder when the Enterprise's phaser attack impacts upon the Reliant. Good work.
You did a great job--so great that it points out how replacing motion control models with CG doesn't really make much sense unless you do something with the ships the models couldn't :P The job on matching the slightly dark and "degraded" look of the real models is pretty great--they don't feel like plastic. :)
As a CGI artist myself I am sick and tired of CGI models. if they redo it, it should be done with real practical models. That being said, I can only praise and congratulate you as crazy for all the work you did on this. I think it goes as close as it can be!!! and 2010 omg!!!!
there are a couple of shots of the reliant close up that give the CG away but other than that this is a beautiful piece of work ive been trying this same thing for years but i keep giving up as im too busy with work :-)
You know, I only just realized that 1:35 sort of mirrors Undiscovered Country, Kahn makes reference to a Klingon proverb, when in Undiscovered Country Chang references a human (Shakespeare) poet. Kind of ironic in a way :D
I remember, back in the day, playing Star Trek Bridge Commander and having a god version of Kirk's Enterprise and when you fired the torpedoes, you'd fire a Genesis torpedo instead and each time, you'd here Kirk scream "Kkkkhhhaaaaaaaaaaaannnn!!". Bone chilling stuff, it was, just like it was in the film.
This is wholly amazing. I am totally blown away. (slight nitpick: the first shot of Reliant closing seems to have a rather narrow FOV which makes the approach of the Reliant seem very flat. We don't get the sense of zoom like we do in the original FX shot.)
Real nice! I was going to say the original effects needed nothing (which i still believe look pretty awesome by the way) but this is really good and only enhances the original stuff. Perfect lighting as well! Beautiful!
I liked this. The space effects and the ships looks fresh compared to when the film was made back in 1981-1982 with effects by George Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic.
She was not prepared for combat. If you'll remember they had to prepare the tubes for launch before the nubyla battle, removing covers, queuing torpedoes, etc.
man that looks awesome. good work. the rendering was superb. the only thing i think is missing is the lens distortion. the ships are absolutely enormous so they need to bend/warp as they come close towards the camera. look at photos of cruise ships to see what i mean.
It was a good job. Complete sentence without qualifiers. My favorite part was the redone phaser impacts on the Reliant showing part of the energy dispersed. If you want to make it better, the debris from the initial cutting into the star drive hull looked triangular.
ASTOUNDING work! Do you realize that this is exactly how it would look if this movie were made today, with cgi instead of models. I salute you... This is SO accurate that it's almost unbelievable, it must have been very time consuming and came from someone dedicated, gifted, and a true genius (not to menchan photograhic memory,Lol!). I'm a true connesuir of this movie and am highly impressed! Liked, Favorited and subbed (with friend request) also sending my own work on it to you.
That still holds up, after all these years, as one of the most bad ass scenes in science fiction history.
I felt the same way - the tension, the emotion, the grip and intrigue. Never gets old.
you must be joking
As Ewan McGregor would say "Too fucking right."
Best Star Trek scene from best Star Trek movie
My fave is The Undiscovered Country when it comes to Kirk and crew but as for The Next Generation films it's First Contact. Rebooted aka Kelvin Era films? Beyond
My favourite scene in the movie is Saavik's reminder of General Order 12, ignored by (infallible?) Kirk & Reliant get in the hits.
I was like, "meh, not bad for 2019" then I saw the upload date.
Me too :D
WadeStar ..woahh 2010. Guess this movie stood the test of time
HOLY MOLY
Yeah TH-cam had a ten minute length limit for regular accounts when this was uploaded
This is one of the only remakes that still give the feel the original physical models give. It didn't feel like CGI! Great job! I really liked it!
Thanks. That is high praise indeed.
100% this. 13 years on (2023) and this is ACES.
@@cps2204right!? I just watched again... Still impressed!
I love when Khan is looking for the override - and the camera passes over that confusing console.
Yeah you would think they would have a control stick not a trillion buttons
Great job. Although I love the old models of course, one thing your recreation did really well was make the actual impact of the phasers against the ships' respective hulls look a hell of a lot more painful.
It's so funny that if they had only listened to Lt Saavik...
Right! That's why Kirk says to her later, "You go right on quoting the regulations!" He knows he screwed up!

I concur with the statements made. The graphics are actually better than the originals.
If it had been the TNG crew Diana would have just said: "By the way, there's a guy named Khan aboard that ship who really doesn't like you."
yes and i agree and I am certain that even at close range Enterprise would have taken a decent punch but not as severe if shields were raised.
That "Reliant misses Enterprise by a whisker" shot was, is, and always will be one of the great, classic effects shots in S/F cinema.
That’s my favorite part of this scene as well. I love how it narrowly misses hitting the Enterprise
You know, I don't think that I've ever responded to a video on TH-cam....but I really need to this time....WOW, this piece is INCREDIBLY well done !!!! I'm a HUGE Star Trek fan and the world's BIGGEST nitpicker of videos and this one was very, very well done. Thanks for this, good job!!!
Very nice job! I especially liked the ‘animated’ areas radiating out from the laser blasts against the hull - very subtle but very effective.
Damn, I had a hard time telling if it was a model or CGI at first there. Good job.
They are models. This person just updated the special effects.
2:33 Just noticed, as Khan shouts "FIRE!", one of his men in the background jumps. It's like he's thinking "Christ, he knows how to shout!".
Wow, that's genuine alright :)
I never noticed that before, and I've been watching this for 20 years. He was just shocked at the POWER of the Montalbán!
I had watch the scene so many times this sense year March 2020 and I never noticed that
the power of Khan...FIRE!!!!!!!

16309 was the P.O. Box of our company in west Seattle at the time. Very fun to claim we had the same “prefix code”
As a CGI artist myself I am sick and tired of CGI models. if they redo it, it should be done with real practical models.
That being said, I can only praise and congratulate you as crazy for all the work you did on this. I think it goes as close as it can be!!! and 2010 omg!!!!
I enjoyed this. BRING THE MOVIE BACK TO THE BIG SCREEN!!!
exactly, and as Admiral Morrow said in STIII, "Jim, the Enterprise is 20 years old. We feel her day is over."
there are a couple of shots of the reliant close up that give the CG away but other than that this is a beautiful piece of work
ive been trying this same thing for years but i keep giving up as im too busy with work :-)
Smoking Phaserbanks...? You got my attention pal! 🙂 Looks great! A touch of WW2 Battleship feeling!
Great job. Far better than others I've seen. Loved the explosions
You know, I only just realized that 1:35 sort of mirrors Undiscovered Country, Kahn makes reference to a Klingon proverb, when in Undiscovered Country Chang references a human (Shakespeare) poet. Kind of ironic in a way :D
My Favorite Scene. Well Done!!!!!
I remember, back in the day, playing Star Trek Bridge Commander and having a god version of Kirk's Enterprise and when you fired the torpedoes, you'd fire a Genesis torpedo instead and each time, you'd here Kirk scream "Kkkkhhhaaaaaaaaaaaannnn!!". Bone chilling stuff, it was, just like it was in the film.
"Lock Phasers on target."
"Locking Phasers on target."
"FIRE!!!"
Exceptional work! My compliments to the chef! WOW! You "packed a punch" that even the original couldn't match!
ST II never will be aged. It is so time less.
This is wholly amazing. I am totally blown away.
(slight nitpick: the first shot of Reliant closing seems to have a rather narrow FOV which makes the approach of the Reliant seem very flat. We don't get the sense of zoom like we do in the original FX shot.)
I saw what I always remembered so I guess that's good because I love the movie and would envision it in the best possible way ...
Real nice! I was going to say the original effects needed nothing (which i still believe look pretty awesome by the way) but this is really good and only enhances the original stuff. Perfect lighting as well! Beautiful!
I liked this. The space effects and the ships looks fresh compared to when the film was made back in 1981-1982 with effects by George Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic.
But I like how Kirk says It’s coming through now, Khan
I'd love to see a new 4k render of this if you ever have the chance. This is great!!
She was not prepared for combat. If you'll remember they had to prepare the tubes for launch before the nubyla battle, removing covers, queuing torpedoes, etc.
Imagine what that would look like today with the increase in home computing power over the last 14 years.
WOW!.
man that looks awesome. good work. the rendering was superb. the only thing i think is missing is the lens distortion. the ships are absolutely enormous so they need to bend/warp as they come close towards the camera. look at photos of cruise ships to see what i mean.
It was a good job. Complete sentence without qualifiers. My favorite part was the redone phaser impacts on the Reliant showing part of the energy dispersed. If you want to make it better, the debris from the initial cutting into the star drive hull looked triangular.
TWOK REMASTERED! Excellent job!
ASTOUNDING work! Do you realize that this is exactly how it would look if this movie were made today, with cgi instead of models. I salute you... This is SO accurate that it's almost unbelievable, it must have been very time consuming and came from someone dedicated, gifted, and a true genius (not to menchan photograhic memory,Lol!). I'm a true connesuir of this movie and am highly impressed! Liked, Favorited and subbed (with friend request) also sending my own work on it to you.
