The Union of Terran Nations REALLY should require OSHA to certify Starfleet's safety regulations...🙄 On the other hand, OSHA would NEVER cleared the Death Star I, Death Star II, Starkiller Base, the Onslaught, OR all those Death Star Penis Cannon Destroyers either. Fair's fair!....😁
I’ve seen all 3 Enterprise destructions in theaters the one I feel was the most heartbreaking was the Refit Enterprise. Kirk destroyed his one true love to save his best friend.
I don't know...I grew up with the original films, I've seen all of them on my own numerous times throughout my teens and adult years and I never felt terrible about her destruction to save his best friend and while Kirk may have had some feelings of PURE UNADULTERATED grief for blowing up the Enterprise, I cried more over her destruction in Beyond. Perhaps it's because she was something I grew up loving and I knew thy got her back after Search for Spock, verses that total destruction she fell to in Beyond. Like just...Beyond was like losing one of your dearest friends as you watch her fall.
*In the shuttle surveying the wrecked saucer of the Enterprise* Riker: "Had to separate sir, battle section exploded in a warp core breach, was a runaway containment failure, nothing we could have done sir". Picard: *notices escape pods still in place all over the saucer* "Separation takes like what, four minutes minimum? No time to get anyone into the escape pods"? Riker: *Nervous exhale* "It happened pretty fast sir, it was chaos after we destroyed the Klingons. Suddenly the containment field started failing and all anyone could think about was getting away from the rear of the ship". Picard: "You know the Enterprise is equ..... WAS, equipped with a warp core ejection system. You could have pushed about three buttons and shot the damn thing out the ass of the ship at the moon or something like last night's chipotle". Riker: *Holds breath* Picard: "I mean you could have even gone to warp on auxiliary power for a few seconds and then shot the core out. I mean shit Voyager is gonna pull that exact stunt in a few years. Warp field containment breach, eject the core, ship coasts out of warp and the core explodes in the ass end of nowhere or in the sun or something and nobody cares. But NOOOOOOOOO not Will Riker. He has to try to land the damn Enterprise like it's a damned shuttlecraft. Will, shit like this is the reason why it's going to be another three movies before the Brass even considers making you a captain of a damned science ship. Even Troi isn't going to want your babies for another two, and her head is filled with cotton candy for god's sake". Picard: *Walks over to shuttle's replicator* "Tea, Earl Gr..... Belay that. Coffee, black, extra espresso. This entire movie is giving me a damned headache".
love it. but theres a good chance that the ejection system failed like every other time the warp core has so much as a scratch. in fact, I think that voyager is the only ship to successfully eject its core when it was damaged
@@andrewtaylor940 Picard slowly raises his head, his eyes meeting Riker's. Picard: "It's alright, her flying the enterprise is still better than your stupid Riker maneuver two years from now. I mean come on Will, lazily drifting by a few ships spewing out gas and then setting it on fire doesn't deserve to be named after you. At least when I get a maneuver named after me I actually did something cool. Picard Maneuver? U.S.S. Stargazer? Micro-warp jump? Ship appears in two places at once? No? Back to the academy Will. You can bunk with Wesley!"
FUN FACT: For the Enterprise's destruction in Star Trek III, they built a model of her bow, with a Styrofoam "skin". The camera panned across the model as they dribbled acetone on the skin to make it look as if it was melting. At the same time, they put steel wool under the skin and lit it on fire.
it was a good way to simulate the destruction without investing millions of dollars in an alternate way. added to that, cgi was expensive itself and would have just cost too much for a scene that short.
@@control467 Not to mention just plain non-existent. This was 1984. ILM had probably done a grand total of three minutes of CGI up to that point, most of it in the previous "Star Trek" movie, and maybe one short film from what would eventually become Pixar.
Security is through the voice recognition. The code was actually specifying what kind of self destruct he wanted. 000Destruct1 is instantaneous detonation instead of 60 second countdown.
well I don't think the final "code" was so much a code per se as choosing which destruction option to use, as the Consitution refits were equipped with 2 self-destruct options, one that was for use in deep space and basically detonated the warp core along with a bunch of anti-matter to make an explosion that would basically leave nothing left of the ship aside from microscopic bits and would take a fair number of enemy ships along with it, and one to use when in orbit of a life-supporting planet that detonated a bunch of strategically placed conventional explosive charges that took out the bridge first (so that any enemy that boarded it didn't have time to override the self-destruct by simple fact of being the first ones blown out into space by detonation of the command center, then blowing up the whole saucer and letting atmospheric re-entry do the rest.
Nemesis only had one for the Captain , remember that guy flying thru the view screen or every station behind everyone would explode sending stunt men thru the air . LOL
Inertial dampeners. Both shipwide and built into seats. Anything that they cannot handle would turn you into mush. However physical backup was preset on some ships.
2:29 That exchange between Kirk and McCoy was excellent. The words of Bones always touched me. The Enterprise was important, but the "turn death into a fighting chance to live" reached me every moment I hear it.
More poignant was, "My God (Bones), what have I done?". This was what the pilot of Enola Gay said (except for 'Bones') as he dived his aircraft, opened throttles to max and raced away from the nuclear blast as he dropped in anger the first atomic bomb.
Slightly reminiscent of the Jupiter 2's crash scene from the original Lost In Space. I've always wondered if that was a deliberate inspiration or a happy coincidence.
I remember to this day watching Kirk and crew setting Enterprise to self destruct. I thought to myself, "no, this won't happen" "Kirk won't destroy his ship" "it's as big a part of Star Trek as he and the crew are"....And the countdown continued!..And when Enterprise exploded and burnt. As the saucer section was crumbling, and then exploded and ripped apart! When she fell from space and burned in a mass of fire! I was stunned. I openly admit, I was almost brought to tears watching her burn! And I'm sure I was not the only one in the cinema that day! You could have heard a pin drop! ...Of all the ships I have encountered in Star Trek, Kirks Enterprise was the most Human! .....(TOS)
Depend on every person opinion, me for example, i prefer the Kelvin Enterprise than the Refit Enterprise 🙂because how look it realistic is But still the TMP looks pretty good
As a fan of the original star trek, the loss of the original enterprise was heartbreaking. I saw part of my childhood destroyed. We saw that movie opening weekend when that scene was over that's theater was Stone Cold silent with the exception of a few people that were weeping it felt like at the time I just saw my best friend die.😥
The first time I saw the destruction of the refit Enterprise I cried. I knew that Kirk had to prevent Genesis from falling into Klingon hands, but he had always used the auto-destruct as a bluff in the original series. This time it wasn't a bluff, and seven Klingons died not knowing they had been played. Watching it again is a stab in the heart even now.
I agree wholeheartedly...I saw SFS in the theater when I was 9 and the 1701 destruction scene was traumatic. Never understood how the ship went from being the state of the art in TMP to an obsolete design by the third film. For me at the time It was like watching your home get destroyed.
How the enterpriseD battle should have gone: they have found a way to penetrate our shields! re-modulate our shields aye sir Fire photon torpedoes, full spread ... Bird of prey destroyed!
Or they could have remembered that shields and weapons automatically remodulated regularly as part of changes to standard procedure after encountering the Borg.
@@SkyCharger001 The time they have to take to make their torpedoes might be enough to finish them. The point is, Riker did not do such a simple procedure.
The issue is, they were pretty much done for after the first torpedo volley. The Klingons knew what they were doing; they aimed specifically at the engineering section to take out the ship's critical systems immediately. Assuming they'd even be able to remodulate their shields with all of the damage they took, the warp core would have breached either way.
Who cares about Riker's promotion. He's just the Captain's Parrot. The question should be why Starfleet Captains don't become legendary and aren't remembered by history until after they've blown up a few of their own ships. Along with the question of why Starfleet Command keeps giving them free replacements.
P Starfleet as literal limitless resources. A few lost ships are not a big deal to replace. How do you think between Wolf 359 and the Dominion war they managed to go from "Our forces are spread thin and 40 ship of which half are outdated is the best we can do" to "We can organize a fleet of hundred of ships in under a day".
2:48 When the Enterprise D was destroyed, my heart was bleeding. With this ship, I spent my childhood. So often I stood in thought on the bridge and experienced adventures with the crew. No episode of the series I had missed. Part of my childhood died with this ship.
They should have blown up the D way sooner, and gotten a better design out of the entire thing...like during the first episode...with all of the cross eyed kids and parents dying...then the rule of families on Starfleet ships would have been revoked, and only military crews would have been allowed on board. Just think of all of the irritating Picard/child interactions we could have been spared over the years.
James Furr I would love to disagree. If you are a middle-school student, on the spectrum, and easily amused, it still wouldn’t even come close to being a great line.
James Furr No it’s just that I was done with that by 14 years old. Popping for people who said “shit,” was like giggling whenever someone ripped a fart. Ya gotta grow up man.
@@dightonazpeitia4350 my bad bro. My bad for seeing humor in the small things rather then seeing the world for what it truly is. A fucked up place. Yeah ill stop trying to enjoy the small things that make me laugh. Not everyones cold like you dude
I liked ST Beyond. I felt the reboots were finally getting the gist of Star Trek, at least a very entertaining take on it. And before you give me flack, I saw the first episode of TOS in 1966 at the age of 11 and have been a fan ever since.
@@DogsRNice For me that was the reason I hate it. Justin Lin was the wrong choice as a director. That movie had no business passing itself off as a 50th anniversary gift to “Star Trek” fans; it was an insult.
@@lucinavonnolaran8728 Can't wait which director they'll choose for Star Trek 4 ❤️ lately it was supposed to be 'Matt Shakman' , but he dropped out to focus on a Marvel Project
@@StarWarriorCentral go look up clips from Into Darkness, the VFX from that movie blow Beyonds out of the water. The Vengeance attacking the Enterprise is the coolest scene in any of the new movies. btw, Beyond was not a good movie. If 2009 and into darkness are the penultimate action star trek movies, then I would consider Beyond to be the silliest.
I remember people were truly in tears at the movie theater when the Enterprise went down during Search for Spock. It was really like the death of a main character. Another strange thing for me at least was how sad I was when the original enterprise went down even tho I knew it was going to happen cause they actually showed it in the previews! I still to this day have no idea why they spoiled it. However I did not know that the Enterprise D was going down in Generations yet it didn't affect me nearly as much, even tho I loved Next Gen. I think I just never really liked those Galaxy class ships. They were strange looking and were poor at fighting. I know they weren't ment to be warships , but still there is no reason for the Flagship class to be so poor in a fight. I dug the Sovereign class tho. Wish we could have seen more of it.
i remember in the theater the scene of the enterprise d getting totalled and saying "jesus h christ!!!!" when the saucer section came through the clouds, actually seeing for the first time the size and scale of it
The one from Star Trek III is my favorite. I also like what Kirk & McCoy said, as they all watched the Enterprise burn up in the atmosphere. "My God, Bones, what have I done?" "What you had to do. What you always do. Turn death into a fighting chance to live."
The refit destruct model sold for 42K at Christie's. The D saucer is still around in private hands. The broken arch was found and restored during the filming of First Contact, it went to a museum that went under.
Some junior pencil pusher after reading how many USS Enterprises have been severely damaged or destroyed: "How many times are we going to name a ship Enterprise before we realize we wont recreate that world war 2 enterprise?!"
I did really love that the Kelvin 1701, even if wrecked, stayed functional just long enough to literally take the guy responsible for its death with her with the god of body slams. My sentiments on the ship were always mixed, but I do have to give that to her and Beyond. Good way for an Enterprise to go.
The enterprise D crash was one of the best, and last, big budget practical effect. I for one think they need to bring them back, though I do love good CGI, there's something about good models that does it for me.
Watching a beloved ship die is (to me) just as sad as watching a character die because of how familiar a setting that ship has become. When the Enterprise (TOS) "died" I wasn't all that effected since I was little and saw it enough times that it didn't bother me. But when the Enterprise-D died it was pretty tragic. As a 10-year old who grew up watching TNG, the Enterprise-D was just as real to me as Picard, Riker and the crew. Together with the death of Kirk (whom I idolized as the ULTIMATE space hero) made this movie a double tragedy. (I'm not ashamed to admit I left the theater crying). Now when the new Enterprise died I wasn't so much sad at the loss of the ship (I hated its design) but I felt for Kirk more than anything else. Looking at his reflection as he jets away in his escape pod, you can see the pain and sadness in his eyes as he watches his first command take a fiery plunge. Overall the death of the Enterprise has been a dramatic piece of story telling I feel the movies handled beautifully. Those ships didn't just carry their "crew" from one adventure to another. They carried our hearts and imaginations to the final frontier and beyond.
May the haters come I actually liked the new design, it looked futuristic, the hull took inspiration from the TOS and TMP Enterprise, while the bridge mixed elements from TNG and TOS, like that Elevator/Corridor on the bridge
Beautiful reply, but the reboot Enterprise destruction was so emotionless....no real connection to the ship since it NEVER ONCE won an engagement, constantly was abused or placed in jeopardy, and the bulk of the movie settings were away from the ship, so no real connection was ever formed. It was a waste to me.
The only one that had any emotional impact for me was in Star Trek III. Loved the look Scotty and Chekov gave Kirk when it dawned on them what Kirk was up to.
It was slow and hurt at every step. First ripping of the nacelles, crippling the ship. Then they had to detach the saucer to escape and finally the heartbreaking crash on the planet.
At least it was realistic...take out those skinny damn pylons, then the skinny damn neck. Hey Starfleet...redesign your ships to prevent such a terrible destruction method.
“Engaging secondary systems...” Troi hits the wrong button and violently hurtles the ship into the atmosphere. Yeah I’d probably use the old “helm control is offline” excuse too at that point.
Reminds me a lot of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The scene where Sean Connery's character shot the tail of the biplane that he and Indy were flying in. And blames in on the Nazis.
I cry every time I see the destructions in Search For Spock and especially Generations because the Enterprise D is my favorite Starfleet ship of all time, followed by the Excelsior class. Though I'm not a big fan of the Kelvin timeline movies, and even less the new design of the Enterprise, I will say that this destruction scene is the best ever seen in any movie of any kind anywhere! The weapons that tear the ship up are just an amazing and incredible idea, and you just cant beat it as far as function and power, and you cant defend against it. Absolutely terrifying, yet brilliant weapon! Thanks a lot for this fantastic upload.
Please, they haven't even told him about the existence of the Starfleet yet. That's why you have Enterprise always doing all the work alone, even when Earth or crucial Federation assets are at stake.
Jakob Wilson: The NX-01 did have a deflector dish. It was at the front of the ship on the saucer. www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/blueprints/enterprise-nx-01-deckplans/enterprise-nx-01-deckplans-sheet-5.jpg - Look at feature 24
@Tap Dome Starfleet can't seem to learn that most enemy vessels have shields for energy based weapons and not ballistic weapons. If Starfleet did use ballistic weapons, enterprise would have been a mini Galactica.
Their voices were their passwords. The codes they entered were the method of destruction used. 000Destruct0 was to explode several charges in the saucer section, destroying the computer core and Bridge, leaving the remains of the ship an unrecoverable derelict. To be used in the proximity of a habitable planet. 000DestructOne was the unregulated release of the antimatter containment, causing a warp core breach, and creating a huge matter-antimatter explosion, and would be used in open space, away from any habitable planet, since it would destroy a huge part of the planets environment, and possibly the whole planet itself. -According to "Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise".
The reason why I was not all that sad about the end of Enterprise-D was because it had a great, seven season run. And the destruction scene in Generations was so intense and well-done and beautiful that it was OK. The destruction scene in Beyond, however, was devastating because it happened so early, and it was ripped apart like paper without any chance of retaliation. Once the nacelles were gone, you knew the ship was done. The ship was basically a victim of the "Worf Effect" to introduce this new, terrible enemy by having the one thing you could always count on obliterated.
It also took advantage of the ship's structural elegance by carving through the three slender sections to render it all but inoperable. The big tactical error the villains made was, of course, not targeting the bridge (even the Dursa sisters were about to do so at the end).
I said and still say that when I watch Beyond and I quote De Kelly's Bones saying "What you had to do. What you always do. Turned death into a fighting chance to live.
Okay, take the engines of Shatner's 1701,the saucer of Pine's 1701,some components of the D. With some glue Scotty built you a brand new ship in about two weeks 😂
Or the saucer from Enterprise D, Nacelles and Engines from USS Syracuse, and the drive section from a third galaxy class and have a Mean Gray Borg fighting machine.
It made it both shorter and somehow more impressive. Seeing the saucer bounce around as it demolished mountain peaks before finally grinding to a halt was heartwrenching. And a testament to how tough a starfleet vessel can be, given it still had just enough left in it after that crash for one final revenge.
Primarily because the ship is nearly always badly damaged in every single movie. The only times where it wasn't was The Motion Picture.... and I guess you could include Final Frontier, but she was falling apart through the first half of the movie. Wrath of Khan - ripped to shreds Search for Spock - self destructed Voyage Home - destruct replayed - HMS Bounty crashed and sank Undiscovered Country - ripped to shreds and decomissioned Generations - warp core breach and crash landing First Contact - nearly fully assimilated and almost destructed Insurrection - ripped to shreds and sans 1 warp core Nemesis - ripped up about as much as Search for Spock without planetfall 2009 - nearly ripped up internally at least Into Darkness - hanging on by the support struts Beyond - destroyed, but took a long-ass time to die. She really held in there
Don't forget though, one of the best things about DS9 (which many fans rejected at first) was that it presented a more dismal and dark view of the previously utopian world of the Federation. Suddenly the Federation was seen as flawwed, out of touch, and even insidious
At least a B'Rel class one like the one in Generations anyway...the K'Vort class ones which were much larger and packed more of a punch would've been harder to deal with but even then it took 3 K'Vorts to take down the Enterprise-D in Yesterday's Enterprise, granted the Enterprise D had shields in that battle.
@@josephamendolea3431 It also was the product of a war driven timeline whereas the original 1701-D wasn't. Having been at war for 20+ years you're bound to improve weapon and shield systems or be wiped out.
Ya, Riker was an idiot. Lets turn our back on a 20 year old outdated ship and run. If he just told Worf to fire everything we got and divert shield power to weapons/structural field, I doubt they would have taken so much damage... On a side note, has anyone notice how lax security is in the 24th century? I mean, you have someone with electrical parts being taken hostage, and your first thought isn't to scan any returning electrical devices for modifications done to it? At the very least, should have grabbed a spare and switched visors... This wasn't the first time Geordi's implants came back and bit them in the arse. These guys have a learning impediment.
They also forgot that Worf can remodulate the shields with the press of a button. The real reason this scene exists was because the executives wanted the D destroyed to make way for the E in the next movie, but on a limited budget that forced the writers to come up with a way to recycle footage from the previous movie.
He says "fire" in Best of Both Worlds (pt.1 - season finale) and nothing happens to the Borg ship. However, because of his word, all Klingon ships within fifteen sectors were combusting like grasshoppers in a volcano.
Out of the ones here, the destruction of the refit Enterprise is the only one that really hurts the most. I still can't watch that scene without bawling my eyes out
The ship destruction that was most affecting for me was the destruction of the refit Enterprise. Chekov was remarkably composed during that scene. He probably waited until he was settled in his quarters on Vulcan to have a good cry.
I saw it in the theater and it was quite sad to see the old girl blow up but it was a writer's ploy at the time since back then the Enterprise was a cast member but after that it was just a ship with letters behind it . I know it sounds stupid to younger fans but watch the original show and you catch my drift and know what I mean .
I remember when I watched Star Trek Beyond with a friend who was drunk and when they cut the warp nacelles off, he just giggled and said "They cut them bitches off!"
You let D (alternate timeline) from "Yesterday's Enterprise" off on a technicality - though we never outright SEE D (alternate) destroyed before that timeline's reset, she was gonna blow before the reboot. Most violent destruction HAS to be 1701 (Kelvin) from "Beyond"; it still breaks my heart a little seeing her dismembered.
She took one hell of a beating. And kirk stayed on board her until he was the last living officer left. And I did like the call back to the Constitution class having a separation ability.
@@TheCrackedFirebird And knowing that what's (not, will, might, don't give a crap about this story) gonna be a simulateus NA NFL piston kick right to the knackers from Pike & THEN revealing the Talosian less "baddies" & more or less folks whose combination of immortality, boredom & the telepathic ability of a 1000 Charles Xavier plus 20!
Star Trek Generations had great practical effects for the saucer and the planet. Star Trek Beyond had great sound design that perfectly conveyed the sheer scale of the Enterprise (and also a score that perfectly complements the action in the film). And Star Trek III packed a huge punch to the heart.
Honestly beyond is badiclly what we do with action figures when we’re younger. Just smash than into shit. The enterprise loses its dish, than engines, gets split in FUCKING half, suffers like 1000 hull breaches, crashes onto a planet, and flips over.
I didn't mind it, looks more like a "muscle car" in comparison to the original(s). A suitable "character" for a sci-fi/action/adventure styled movie. As long as you don't take a close look inside, try to figure out how all that big spacious stuff is supposed to fit in there, then it looks ugly.
I agree when it comes to the 2009 version. The 2016 version of NCC-1701 was just flat out disgusting imo. That being said, NCC-1701-A for the Kelvin timeline was absolutely beautiful, and looked so much like the original we all know and love.
new enterprise design was amazing, much smoother and cleaner. what you'd expect of a futuristic starship with an actual reactor space. It's also shown how the ship is new compared to the rest of starfleet in the movie design with how white it is compared to every other ships hull. It shows the beginning of a new era which started when the kelvin was destroyed by the narada.
And the NHTSA gave the 1987 Galaxy Class it's lowest rating ever for frontal collision. Poor. As shown in this video, none of the occupants were restrained during impact. Most occupants sustained serious and or life threatening injuries.
watching the Original Enterpise destruction was like watching a part of my childhood dying right before my eyes and all the world I once knew with loved ones and friends that are no longer in this world, but just mere memories. They and the Enterprise were there with me from the beginning, but then time moves on and things change forever never to return.
8:52 They're trying to warp away _without_ the deflector to clear the way in front of them. If the tiniest atom hits the hull at FTL speeds, it can pierce right through. Imagine if they encountered a tiny meteor... just shows you how desperate the situation is.
You have navigational deflectors running. Those protect the ship from micro-meteors when traveling at a high rate of speed, lest a small rock is hit that would leave anything from a dent in the hull to something much worse, a hole through the entire ship.
Dan Trigona The warp drive in star trek works different then in real world. If you go on warp the ship creates a warpbubble which allow you to enter a Layer of the subspace. In subspace there are no particles which can crush into the ship. But if you use the impulsedrive you need a deflector dish because full impulse is 0.93 % of warp one (for galay class). But if you want to go on warp in our world you need a deflector dish because we have no subspace
Is it scientifically accurate? No. I would argue, though, that seeing it slowly disintegrate as it streaks across the sky is more dramatic and emotional than it just blowing up.
If they detonated the warp core, as a destruct would more likely be, it would have also adversely affected the planet below as well as the only other ship in orbit, and therefore eliminating their means of escape. While the ship may have looked largely intact externally, internally it was completely ripped up and melted away. Also, note as the dead hulk goes flying toward the screen after the fireball. It is flying past in the same orientation as the original series enterprise in the very first version of the opening credits. If only to tug the feels a bit harder
I have a theory. Kirk is a good tactician. I think he worked out a plan that worked perfectly. (In the movie, Kirk asked Sulu how many Klingons there was. Sulu said there was a dozen officers and men. Kirk then replied that some of them were on the planet surface.) Kirk knew the Enterprise was a lost cause and already planned to steal the Klingon ship from the beginning due to the fact the Enterprise was severely damaged and was considered a "sitting duck." So Kirk agreed to surrender the ship and to allow the Klingons to board the Enterprise. Then, Kirk, Scotty and Chekov ordered the ships destruction by using a specific destruct code designed to destroy the saucer section only. (Assuming the Constitution Class has separation abilities.) This would be needed, for example if they were to split the ship and use the two halves as two different vectors of attack in battle. If the saucer happened to get invaded - they would need to be able to destruct the saucer if the crew was unable to fend off the invaders. If their only means of self destruct was solely in the secondary hull - then they would have no way to self destruct the saucer section once the ship has been separated. This would cause the ship, in essence, to fall into enemy hands and allow the enemy to learn about Starfleets technology. This wouldn't seem right. If they had set the warp core to breach due to an anti-matter explosion, it would not only completely annihilate the Enterprise but it would highly risk destroying the Klingon ship as well since the destruction of the Enterprise was suppose to be an "sneak maneuver." The Klingon ship may not have escaped an anti-matter explosion in time to avoid destruction at that point - being at close proximity to the Enterprise. (In the movie, you can see the Klingon ship moving away from the Enterprise as the destruction is happening. The Klingon commander was obviously caught off guard. I would think an anti-matter explosion would just take a couple of seconds if not instantly after the countdown has reached zero to destroy the entire ship; along with anything close to it. Also, notice after the final explosion of the Enterprise that the saucer section is the only part of the ship that is partially destroyed and severely damaged? The secondary hull is completely intact except for the scarring from the explosion. You can even see mini explosions and fire from within the saucer as the hull is burning away - something you do not see at all happening to the secondary hull. This leads me to believe the destruct was focused on the saucer section by design. If it were a saucer only destruction, it would seem logical to conclude that the secondary hull would not be anywhere near the saucer during the saucer sections destruction. This would explain why the saucer is partially destroyed and severely damaged and the secondary hull is not.) So, with that said. The 'saucer only' destruction would ensure that the Klingon ship would not be destroyed - while successfully wiping out the majority of the Klingon crew that boarded the Enterprise. Kirk and crew would then arrive on the surface; take care of the remaining Klingons and then take over the Klingon ship since they would have out numbered the Klingons at that point. They would then go to Vulcan to complete their personal mission. This is just my theory... (Additional. Some would say "Well. They were using the same destruct code in the TOS episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield." Why would they only wish to destroy only the saucer then?" Answer: I don't know. It's just my theory. :) )
21st Century: "Your password must include a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, a special character other than a period, dragon tears, and the blood of a virgin, and cannot be a password used within the last 50 combinations, and must be changed every 3 months." 23rd Century: "Code Zero... Zero... Zero... Destruct! Zero." And that's the Utopian world we should have listened to Gene Roddenberry about.
I cannot imagine how traumatizing it must have been for fans to see the Enterprise blow up when they went to see The Search for Spock in theaters. Like, how horrified had fans to have been to see that happen in front of them?
The Search for Spock was and still is the most gut wrenching point in Trek History, Adm Kirk destroys the only women he really loves, USS Enterprise. The rest are sad but Picard did not love the E-D like Kirk loved the big E. And Kirk 2.0 only was featured in 3 movies we the viewers never got a chance to get to know his enterprise.
While I would say the Destruction of the D was also quite sad I mostly agree. I always found the destruction of the enterprise to be the depressing image, since more than any other character (yes I consider the ships characters), the "Star Ship Earth" represents the essence of human progress.
Alexander O'Neill the Defiant has what I consider the second best death. The original Enterprise lost to a Bird of Prey, but at least it had a good reason (Bird of Prey was a contemporary ship, the 1701 had just gotten the shit kicked out of it, etc). Compared to the D, which was a disgrace. Likewise, I thought the kelvin destruction was even worse, since the action was so quick and the ship rendered inert at the start that there was no tension, and we had already seen the ship almost destroyed the last three movies. Meanwhile, the Defiant was in an epic battle that you expected to go well and suddenly turned into an epic loss.
+Starvino I think what I found most sad about the destruction of the D was it happened in a lack luster movie. To be honest I always preferred the Enterprise over the defiant simply because I liked what it stood for. However I 100% agree that from a story standpoint the original and the defiant had the best ends, even if each was replaced by a clone ship. As for the Kelvin, I assume you mean the Kelvin timeline Enterprise (not the actual Kelvin which was destroyed before the title sequence). I think the problem was it never got the chance to show off how well it fought against a normal enemy. Movie 1) a big ship from the future, movie 2) a dreadnought which was more powerful than necessary, movie 3) a swarm of ships that had no prior screen time took it out in the first act. I think it kinda makes the enterprise look weak.
Alexander O'Neill exactly, I was too lazy to write Kelvin-timeline Enterprise. But I got that feeling, both the much bigger Enterprise and its captain were always getting demolished in combat. Of course the foes were more powerful, but proper Kirk overcame many a powerful foe with much less. Really, it felt like they were doing torture porn on the enterprise by the third movie, because not only did it seem to be destroyed without doing anything at all, but the sequence was SO FUCKING LONG. it somehow felt rushed and drawn out at the same time compared to theSearch for Spock. And really all they had to do was play 1990s rap music really loud to transform those ships into waves of fire.
And from this point on, every god damn single movie must have some kind of enterprise destruction and or nearly destruction because the damn ship can´t go thru two movies without successfully surviving because that would be deemed "too boring".
In part it's because they want to keep redesigning everything because every egomaniac director wants to make everything "his." When all spaceships were models, they changed too little, and had to be "reset" for the next movie or episode. So damage was never dramatic enough because they didn't want to wreck the model. But when everything became CGI the opposite problem happened. Now there is a major refit every fifteen minutes. In-universe, the original Enterprise being converted to the Motion Picture era version took 18 months and they even cut it short because of the V'ger crisis. Now they redraw the whole thing because they feel like it, without even offering any in-universe explanation as to why, how, or when. I swear everything has turned stupid.
Its been that way since 1982. Wrath of Khan - torn to shreds Search for Spock - Self Destruct Voyage Home - Crash in the ocean Undiscovered Country - torn to shreds and decommissioned Generations - Core Breach and Crash First Contact - nearly Assimilated and nearly Destructed Nemesis - torn to shreds and ripped nearly in half so yeah, not just a Kelvin Timeline thing here
The refit one was the most heartfelt, especially since the destruction code is taken from the TOS episode, "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield." The Beyond one was the most brutal, especially since in the other two they had the time to get everyone to safety. In Beyond basically 99% of the crew is either captured or killed and the ship is ripped apart piece by piece. The Enterprise D was pretty much the unluckiest, since it seems like everything that shouldn't have gone wrong went wrong.
I'd love to see that swarm weapon against the Borg. Their shields would perhaps stop it, but if it didn't it would be fun to see how far it could penetrate a cube.
From those of you who don't know the enterprise well. The big "engines" in the back of the ship are warp drives. The do not propelle the ship. The small engine in the back of the saucer does that.
Those are Warp Nacelles that create the warp feild bubble. With out warp coils to shape and create the field, you don't go anywhere. The Nacelles are an important part to be sure. That's why they are very tempting targets.
Private Jenkins also, if they create warp bubbles to protect the ship, how come in into darkness the dreadnaught could enter the ernterprises warp bubble?
@@vull8375 in the Trek universe, merging warp fields is possible. Also, into Darkness shows a more advanced ship. Though I don't remember them mentioning the Vengeance breaching the Enterprise's warp bubble. Established lore states that if warp fields aren't calibrated properly before interacting with another one, the results can be devastating to both ships.

On the other hand, OSHA would NEVER cleared the Death Star I, Death Star II, Starkiller Base, the Onslaught, OR all those Death Star Penis Cannon Destroyers either. Fair's fair!....😁
I’ve seen all 3 Enterprise destructions in theaters the one I feel was the most heartbreaking was the Refit Enterprise. Kirk destroyed his one true love to save his best friend.
I agree, though I didn't see any of them in the theater.
That one broke the mold because until then, the Enterprise was indestructible.
Kirk sums it all up, "My God Bones...what have I done?"
@@themattheweston “What you had to do, what you always do… Turn death into a fighting chance to live.”
I don't know...I grew up with the original films, I've seen all of them on my own numerous times throughout my teens and adult years and I never felt terrible about her destruction to save his best friend and while Kirk may have had some feelings of PURE UNADULTERATED grief for blowing up the Enterprise, I cried more over her destruction in Beyond. Perhaps it's because she was something I grew up loving and I knew thy got her back after Search for Spock, verses that total destruction she fell to in Beyond. Like just...Beyond was like losing one of your dearest friends as you watch her fall.
*In the shuttle surveying the wrecked saucer of the Enterprise*
Riker: "Had to separate sir, battle section exploded in a warp core breach, was a runaway containment failure, nothing we could have done sir".
Picard: *notices escape pods still in place all over the saucer* "Separation takes like what, four minutes minimum? No time to get anyone into the escape pods"?
Riker: *Nervous exhale* "It happened pretty fast sir, it was chaos after we destroyed the Klingons. Suddenly the containment field started failing and all anyone could think about was getting away from the rear of the ship".
Picard: "You know the Enterprise is equ..... WAS, equipped with a warp core ejection system. You could have pushed about three buttons and shot the damn thing out the ass of the ship at the moon or something like last night's chipotle".
Riker: *Holds breath*
Picard: "I mean you could have even gone to warp on auxiliary power for a few seconds and then shot the core out. I mean shit Voyager is gonna pull that exact stunt in a few years. Warp field containment breach, eject the core, ship coasts out of warp and the core explodes in the ass end of nowhere or in the sun or something and nobody cares. But NOOOOOOOOO not Will Riker. He has to try to land the damn Enterprise like it's a damned shuttlecraft. Will, shit like this is the reason why it's going to be another three movies before the Brass even considers making you a captain of a damned science ship. Even Troi isn't going to want your babies for another two, and her head is filled with cotton candy for god's sake".
Picard: *Walks over to shuttle's replicator* "Tea, Earl Gr..... Belay that. Coffee, black, extra espresso. This entire movie is giving me a damned headache".
love it. but theres a good chance that the ejection system failed like every other time the warp core has so much as a scratch. in fact, I think that voyager is the only ship to successfully eject its core when it was damaged
Oh god this is the best thing I’ve ever read about Star Trek
Riker: Ummm? About Troi... did I mention I let her drive the ship through all this?
Picard: Stares blankly at his tea and sobs
Sickbay prepare for an emergency site-to-site transport we have a patient coming in suffering from extreme burns!
@@andrewtaylor940 Picard slowly raises his head, his eyes meeting Riker's.
Picard: "It's alright, her flying the enterprise is still better than your stupid Riker maneuver two years from now. I mean come on Will, lazily drifting by a few ships spewing out gas and then setting it on fire doesn't deserve to be named after you. At least when I get a maneuver named after me I actually did something cool.
Picard Maneuver? U.S.S. Stargazer? Micro-warp jump? Ship appears in two places at once? No? Back to the academy Will. You can bunk with Wesley!"
FUN FACT: For the Enterprise's destruction in Star Trek III, they built a model of her bow, with a Styrofoam "skin". The camera panned across the model as they dribbled acetone on the skin to make it look as if it was melting. At the same time, they put steel wool under the skin and lit it on fire.
Gotta love practical effects
it was a good way to simulate the destruction without investing millions of dollars in an alternate way. added to that, cgi was expensive itself and would have just cost too much for a scene that short.
@@control467 Not to mention just plain non-existent. This was 1984. ILM had probably done a grand total of three minutes of CGI up to that point, most of it in the previous "Star Trek" movie, and maybe one short film from what would eventually become Pixar.
Code 000. Can you imagine that these days? He'd have to have at least one capital letter, a number and a special character as well!
I noticed that, too. Kirk's destruct codes were basically "Password123".
Someone change the code on my luggage!
@@jeffreymoody8560 lol
Security is through the voice recognition. The code was actually specifying what kind of self destruct he wanted. 000Destruct1 is instantaneous detonation instead of 60 second countdown.
well I don't think the final "code" was so much a code per se as choosing which destruction option to use, as the Consitution refits were equipped with 2 self-destruct options, one that was for use in deep space and basically detonated the warp core along with a bunch of anti-matter to make an explosion that would basically leave nothing left of the ship aside from microscopic bits and would take a fair number of enemy ships along with it, and one to use when in orbit of a life-supporting planet that detonated a bunch of strategically placed conventional explosive charges that took out the bridge first (so that any enemy that boarded it didn't have time to override the self-destruct by simple fact of being the first ones blown out into space by detonation of the command center, then blowing up the whole saucer and letting atmospheric re-entry do the rest.
River: report!
Troi: helm is off line!
Data: oooo shit
Good report data
Akomoto data summed it all up
The funny thing is that the human follows instructions and the android (data) just started to panic.
Lol
who's "river"?
Believe that's supposed to be Riker, just autocor-wrecked.
Star fleet should invest in some seatbelts
The refit enterprise from the first 3 movies (old ones) had arm rests that folded down and locked over the users legs creating a type of seatbelt.
The Enterprise-E got seatbelts at the end of Nemesis, and the Kelvin timeline Enterprise did have seat belts.
Nemesis only had one for the Captain , remember that guy flying thru the view screen or every station behind everyone would explode sending stunt men thru the air . LOL
Inertial dampeners. Both shipwide and built into seats.
Anything that they cannot handle would turn you into mush.
However physical backup was preset on some ships.
Maybe start with not putting C4 inside all of the control panels.
When Data says “Oh shit!”, i think he really meant it.
He said what I was thinking!
The Landing sequence rounds the Planet 😀
I remember that it was funny..
He said what EVERYONE, characters and viewers, thought at that moment.
Of course he did.
2:29 That exchange between Kirk and McCoy was excellent. The words of Bones always touched me. The Enterprise was important, but the "turn death into a fighting chance to live" reached me every moment I hear it.
How did you get the time tag black?
@@aysartheuglysquidfan ctrl f
More poignant was, "My God (Bones), what have I done?". This was what the pilot of Enola Gay said (except for 'Bones') as he dived his aircraft, opened throttles to max and raced away from the nuclear blast as he dropped in anger the first atomic bomb.
But on that note.
The Enterprise D crashing was one hell of an intense moment
Hey at least we got reparations for generations many years later but the original Enterprise-D will never be replaced in my heart..
Slightly reminiscent of the Jupiter 2's crash scene from the original Lost In Space. I've always wondered if that was a deliberate inspiration or a happy coincidence.
data said a cuss word too
I remember to this day watching Kirk and crew setting Enterprise to self destruct. I thought to myself, "no, this won't happen" "Kirk won't destroy his ship" "it's as big a part of Star Trek as he and the crew are"....And the countdown continued!..And when Enterprise exploded and burnt. As the saucer section was crumbling, and then exploded and ripped apart! When she fell from space and burned in a mass of fire! I was stunned. I openly admit, I was almost brought to tears watching her burn! And I'm sure I was not the only one in the cinema that day! You could have heard a pin drop! ...Of all the ships I have encountered in Star Trek, Kirks Enterprise was the most Human! .....(TOS)
You know it is possible to construct a sentence that doesn’t end in an exclamation mark.
@@philbertchow5425 Here end's the lesson for today.
Yeah, the STIII Enterprise destruction was heartbreaking. No other ship could compare with the original refit.
Still my favorite design of the enterprise.
Depend on every person opinion, me for example, i prefer the Kelvin Enterprise than the Refit Enterprise 🙂because how look it realistic is
But still the TMP looks pretty good
As a fan of the original star trek, the loss of the original enterprise was heartbreaking. I saw part of my childhood destroyed. We saw that movie opening weekend when that scene was over that's theater was Stone Cold silent with the exception of a few people that were weeping it felt like at the time I just saw my best friend die.😥
The first time I saw the destruction of the refit Enterprise I cried. I knew that Kirk had to prevent Genesis from falling into Klingon hands, but he had always used the auto-destruct as a bluff in the original series. This time it wasn't a bluff, and seven Klingons died not knowing they had been played. Watching it again is a stab in the heart even now.
Me too.. i was there.. in a real theatre .. young..
Watching the Enterprise get destroyed in Beyond. I have become so desensitized I didn't care that much.
I agree wholeheartedly...I saw SFS in the theater when I was 9 and the 1701 destruction scene was traumatic. Never understood how the ship went from being the state of the art in TMP to an obsolete design by the third film. For me at the time It was like watching your home get destroyed.
I was 12. I cried for the Enterprise, my mom cried for David Marcus.
How the enterpriseD battle should have gone:
they have found a way to penetrate our shields!
re-modulate our shields
aye sir
Fire photon torpedoes, full spread
... Bird of prey destroyed!
Or they could have remembered that shields and weapons automatically remodulated regularly as part of changes to standard procedure after encountering the Borg.
five seconds after remodulation:
"they have set shield modulations to 387.5" "adjusting our torpedo's to match 387.5"
@@SkyCharger001 The time they have to take to make their torpedoes might be enough to finish them. The point is, Riker did not do such a simple procedure.
@@SkyCharger001 they could just have set the tp remodulate randomly like they have done while fighting the borg so meny times.
The issue is, they were pretty much done for after the first torpedo volley. The Klingons knew what they were doing; they aimed specifically at the engineering section to take out the ship's critical systems immediately. Assuming they'd even be able to remodulate their shields with all of the damage they took, the warp core would have breached either way.
Ah, the destruction of the Enterprise-D, aka 'why it took Riker another 8 years to be promoted to captain'.
they changed their shield frequency in like 10 episodes, but never thought to do it here.
That ALWAYS bothered me. "Mr. Worf, remodulate shield harmonics." BOOM. Bye Bye Klingons! Picard would have done that ;)
Who cares about Riker's promotion. He's just the Captain's Parrot.
The question should be why Starfleet Captains don't become legendary and aren't remembered by history until after they've blown up a few of their own ships. Along with the question of why Starfleet Command keeps giving them free replacements.
P Starfleet as literal limitless resources. A few lost ships are not a big deal to replace.
How do you think between Wolf 359 and the Dominion war they managed to go from "Our forces are spread thin and 40 ship of which half are outdated is the best we can do" to "We can organize a fleet of hundred of ships in under a day".
8:11 Enterprise vs The Matrix robots!!!
No wildlife was harmed in the landing of this saucer section :)
Hope so :)
What about the fucking tree's man
I call BS on that one.
No wildlife or trees were harmed. But millions of pixels were brutally murdered.
No constitution Classes or any ships were harmed, but 9001 BILLION pixels were genocided
In the TV edit it cuts out right as data starts to say "shit" and it makes the entire scene that much more hilarious
2:48
When the Enterprise D was destroyed, my heart was bleeding.
With this ship, I spent my childhood. So often I stood in thought on the bridge and experienced adventures with the crew. No episode of the series I had missed. Part of my childhood died with this ship.

Absolutely. It was home.
I've got good news dude.
enterprise D destroyed - a weird timeline you are in
They should have blown up the D way sooner, and gotten a better design out of the entire thing...like during the first episode...with all of the cross eyed kids and parents dying...then the rule of families on Starfleet ships would have been revoked, and only military crews would have been allowed on board. Just think of all of the irritating Picard/child interactions we could have been spared over the years.
Lets agree to disagree
That Data saying Oh Shit was one of the greatest lines in trek history?
James Furr I would love to disagree. If you are a middle-school student, on the spectrum, and easily amused, it still wouldn’t even come close to being a great line.
@@dightonazpeitia4350 i see you grew up with no sense of humor. Im so sorry

I liked ST Beyond. I felt the reboots were finally getting the gist of Star Trek, at least a very entertaining take on it. And before you give me flack, I saw the first episode of TOS in 1966 at the age of 11 and have been a fan ever since.
@@StarWarriorCentral well it wasn’t directed by Abrams so that’s why it’s good
@@DogsRNice For me that was the reason I hate it. Justin Lin was the wrong choice as a director. That movie had no business passing itself off as a 50th anniversary gift to “Star Trek” fans; it was an insult.
@@cubdukat why do you think it an insult, and why was Justin Lin the wrong choice?
@@lucinavonnolaran8728 Can't wait which director they'll choose for Star Trek 4 ❤️ lately it was supposed to be 'Matt Shakman' , but he dropped out to focus on a Marvel Project
@@StarWarriorCentral go look up clips from Into Darkness, the VFX from that movie blow Beyonds out of the water. The Vengeance attacking the Enterprise is the coolest scene in any of the new movies.
btw, Beyond was not a good movie. If 2009 and into darkness are the penultimate action star trek movies, then I would consider Beyond to be the silliest.
I remember people were truly in tears at the movie theater when the Enterprise went down during Search for Spock.
It was really like the death of a main character.
Another strange thing for me at least was how sad I was when the original enterprise went down even tho I knew it was going to happen cause they actually showed it in the previews! I still to this day have no idea why they spoiled it.
However I did not know that the Enterprise D was going down in Generations yet it didn't affect me nearly as much, even tho I loved Next Gen. I think I just never really liked those Galaxy class ships. They were strange looking and were poor at fighting. I know they weren't ment to be warships , but still there is no reason for the Flagship class to be so poor in a fight. I dug the Sovereign class tho. Wish we could have seen more of it.
i remember in the theater the scene of the enterprise d getting totalled and saying "jesus h christ!!!!" when the saucer section came through the clouds, actually seeing for the first time the size and scale of it
The one from Star Trek III is my favorite. I also like what Kirk & McCoy said, as they all watched the Enterprise burn up in the atmosphere.
"My God, Bones, what have I done?"
"What you had to do. What you always do. Turn death into a fighting chance to live."
I think, in that moment, it was both McCoy and Spock saying that as Spock’s katra was in McCoy’s head.
Some say the Enterprise D is still sliding around the planet to this day
LOL

And Troi is still trying to find the parking brake.
“Computer, authorization zero, zero, destruct, zero.”

It's @ 5:00 really.
I would have the same response if half of a starship plummets down to plant at that speed.
No, I'd probably scream my head off like KSI 🤣🤣.
phil laird: really!? THAT was your favourite part?
It's so out of character. He shouldn't said something that exhibit emotion.
boulderbash19700209 I’m pretty sure he has got the emotions chip in this movie he got it at the start
Man. The paperwork must have been a nightmare back at Starfleet HQ.
Well, the flight recorder, complete with the "Oh shit" found in many such IRL, might have saved some of the paperwork.
"Kirk did WHAT to our flagship?"
Some junior pencil pusher after reading how many USS Enterprises have been severely damaged or destroyed: "How many times are we going to name a ship Enterprise before we realize we wont recreate that world war 2 enterprise?!"
I did really love that the Kelvin 1701, even if wrecked, stayed functional just long enough to literally take the guy responsible for its death with her with the god of body slams.
My sentiments on the ship were always mixed, but I do have to give that to her and Beyond. Good way for an Enterprise to go.
The enterprise D crash was one of the best, and last, big budget practical effect. I for one think they need to bring them back, though I do love good CGI, there's something about good models that does it for me.
Your right , beckets death in pirates of the Caribbean was awesome
Watching a beloved ship die is (to me) just as sad as watching a character die because of how familiar a setting that ship has become. When the Enterprise (TOS) "died" I wasn't all that effected since I was little and saw it enough times that it didn't bother me. But when the Enterprise-D died it was pretty tragic. As a 10-year old who grew up watching TNG, the Enterprise-D was just as real to me as Picard, Riker and the crew. Together with the death of Kirk (whom I idolized as the ULTIMATE space hero) made this movie a double tragedy. (I'm not ashamed to admit I left the theater crying). Now when the new Enterprise died I wasn't so much sad at the loss of the ship (I hated its design) but I felt for Kirk more than anything else. Looking at his reflection as he jets away in his escape pod, you can see the pain and sadness in his eyes as he watches his first command take a fiery plunge. Overall the death of the Enterprise has been a dramatic piece of story telling I feel the movies handled beautifully. Those ships didn't just carry their "crew" from one adventure to another. They carried our hearts and imaginations to the final frontier and beyond.
Matthew Crum well said
May the haters come
I actually liked the new design, it looked futuristic, the hull took inspiration from the TOS and TMP Enterprise, while the bridge mixed elements from TNG and TOS, like that Elevator/Corridor on the bridge

Here here.....

It was a parellal universe, (I'm lead to believe)
Beautiful reply, but the reboot Enterprise destruction was so emotionless....no real connection to the ship since it NEVER ONCE won an engagement, constantly was abused or placed in jeopardy, and the bulk of the movie settings were away from the ship, so no real connection was ever formed. It was a waste to me.
The only one that had any emotional impact for me was in Star Trek III. Loved the look Scotty and Chekov gave Kirk when it dawned on them what Kirk was up to.
As much as I'm not a fan of the alt-timeline movies, the destruction in Beyond was brutal and definitely tugs on heartstrings
It was slow and hurt at every step. First ripping of the nacelles, crippling the ship.
Then they had to detach the saucer to escape and finally the heartbreaking crash on the planet.
It was really well done. It's also kind of sad knowing it was Anton Yelchin's last movie. Taken in the prime of his life as a rising star.
At least it was realistic...take out those skinny damn pylons, then the skinny damn neck. Hey Starfleet...redesign your ships to prevent such a terrible destruction method.
It was brutal seeing the crew get sucked into space
“Engaging secondary systems...” Troi hits the wrong button and violently hurtles the ship into the atmosphere. Yeah I’d probably use the old “helm control is offline” excuse too at that point.
Women drivers lol
Reminds me a lot of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The scene where Sean Connery's character shot the tail of the biplane that he and Indy were flying in. And blames in on the Nazis.
I cry every time I see the destructions in Search For Spock and especially Generations because the Enterprise D is my favorite Starfleet ship of all time, followed by the Excelsior class. Though I'm not a big fan of the Kelvin timeline movies, and even less the new design of the Enterprise, I will say that this destruction scene is the best ever seen in any movie of any kind anywhere! The weapons that tear the ship up are just an amazing and incredible idea, and you just cant beat it as far as function and power, and you cant defend against it. Absolutely terrifying, yet brilliant weapon! Thanks a lot for this fantastic upload.

אייל ג And guess who's ship they used to go back in time to 1986.
No shit!
The Flux capacitor in engineering was able to generate 1.21 gazillionwatts to get the Bird of Prey to warp 8.8 and reach 1986.
Where we going, we don’t need roads. We need a warp drive.

Both movies had half the ship intact
"They took out the deflector dish!"
"Take us into warp Mr sulu!"
Um.. does JJ not know what the deflector dish is for? Kinda need that for warp travel
Please, they haven't even told him about the existence of the Starfleet yet. That's why you have Enterprise always doing all the work alone, even when Earth or crucial Federation assets are at stake.
Himme llen I'm guessing it was a die here or maybe get away choice.
Let also not forget that NX-01 didn't have a defector in the first season either.
Jakob Wilson: The NX-01 did have a deflector dish. It was at the front of the ship on the saucer.

Boheefus Jr Did the Phoenix have a deflector? I know it was the first human warp drive but I don't remember seeing one on it.
I remember when Data said "oh shit" - myself and a hundred other Trek fans in that theater LOL'd quite bositerously!
how boisterous was the booing after Kirk's death?
I sure did when I went to see it and I still do when I watch it
The first Enterprise destruction I really felt, it was like the death of a major character. The rest of them don't really resonate with me...
8:16 this is why Torpedoes need a proximity detonator
@Tap Dome Starfleet can't seem to learn that most enemy vessels have shields for energy based weapons and not ballistic weapons. If Starfleet did use ballistic weapons, enterprise would have been a mini Galactica.
@Tap Dome fair enough
Too easy to defeat, i guess. Make torpedoes "detect" a false proximity (by modifying phase variance, ha!) and they explode way early.

After going back to the future, Doc Brown's life took a strange turn
Once this Bird of Prey hits Wrap 8.8, you're going to see some serious shit!
Lol kirk half-assing it as usual, "What do you want your password to be captain?" "Just zeros, fuck it, I don't need more stuff to remember"
Their voices were their passwords. The codes they entered were the method of destruction used. 000Destruct0 was to explode several charges in the saucer section, destroying the computer core and Bridge, leaving the remains of the ship an unrecoverable derelict. To be used in the proximity of a habitable planet.
000DestructOne was the unregulated release of the antimatter containment, causing a warp core breach, and creating a huge matter-antimatter explosion, and would be used in open space, away from any habitable planet, since it would destroy a huge part of the planets environment, and possibly the whole planet itself.
-According to "Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise".
I’m just here to read the comments nearly 30 years later…thank you Geordi.
The reason why I was not all that sad about the end of Enterprise-D was because it had a great, seven season run. And the destruction scene in Generations was so intense and well-done and beautiful that it was OK. The destruction scene in Beyond, however, was devastating because it happened so early, and it was ripped apart like paper without any chance of retaliation. Once the nacelles were gone, you knew the ship was done. The ship was basically a victim of the "Worf Effect" to introduce this new, terrible enemy by having the one thing you could always count on obliterated.
It also took advantage of the ship's structural elegance by carving through the three slender sections to render it all but inoperable. The big tactical error the villains made was, of course, not targeting the bridge (even the Dursa sisters were about to do so at the end).
My God, Bones. What have I done?
NCC-1701 The Original that one was the best, the most meaningful. The rest were just over acting.
What you have to do Jim. What you always will. Turn death into a fighting chance to live.
The first Enterprise was a cast member the rest were just meaningless letters . I liked how the B +C looked but we never got to see much of them . .
And you may ask yourself, MY god Bones, what have I done? Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down...
I said and still say that when I watch Beyond and I quote De Kelly's Bones saying "What you had to do. What you always do. Turned death into a fighting chance to live.
The first one always makes me sad and I always say
*My God Bones, what have I done?*
You know it's really bad when Mr. Data says "Ooooh ... shit."

Okay, take the engines of Shatner's 1701,the saucer of Pine's 1701,some components of the D. With some glue Scotty built you a brand new ship in about two weeks 😂
Have you always multiplied your repair estimates by a factor of four?
@@c5d53g2e Buffer time.
Ahh, yes, the Frankenprise.
Or the saucer from
Enterprise D, Nacelles and Engines from USS Syracuse, and the drive section from a third galaxy class and have a Mean Gray Borg fighting machine.
I love how Beyond took the Generations saucer crash landing and increased the intensity.
It made it both shorter and somehow more impressive. Seeing the saucer bounce around as it demolished mountain peaks before finally grinding to a halt was heartwrenching. And a testament to how tough a starfleet vessel can be, given it still had just enough left in it after that crash for one final revenge.
in 13 movies only 3 Enterprises are destroyed. so why does everyone seem to treat it like one destroyed every movie.
Primarily because the ship is nearly always badly damaged in every single movie. The only times where it wasn't was The Motion Picture.... and I guess you could include Final Frontier, but she was falling apart through the first half of the movie.
Wrath of Khan - ripped to shreds
Search for Spock - self destructed
Voyage Home - destruct replayed - HMS Bounty crashed and sank
Undiscovered Country - ripped to shreds and decomissioned
Generations - warp core breach and crash landing
First Contact - nearly fully assimilated and almost destructed
Insurrection - ripped to shreds and sans 1 warp core
Nemesis - ripped up about as much as Search for Spock without planetfall
2009 - nearly ripped up internally at least
Into Darkness - hanging on by the support struts
Beyond - destroyed, but took a long-ass time to die. She really held in there
Don't forget that Generations also left the Enterprise B with a big chunk missing from it's secondary hull, and it wasn't even fully commissioned yet.
Speaking of Enterprise... the NX-01 held together pretty well, considering the beatdown she took at Azati Prime
@Dexter White best moment of that entire episode... if not the entire season
Don't forget though, one of the best things about DS9 (which many fans rejected at first) was that it presented a more dismal and dark view of the previously utopian world of the Federation. Suddenly the Federation was seen as flawwed, out of touch, and even insidious
In 1994, they conveniently forgot the Enterprise D can easily outmatch a Bird of Prey.
At least a B'Rel class one like the one in Generations anyway...the K'Vort class ones which were much larger and packed more of a punch would've been harder to deal with but even then it took 3 K'Vorts to take down the Enterprise-D in Yesterday's Enterprise, granted the Enterprise D had shields in that battle.
@@josephamendolea3431 It also was the product of a war driven timeline whereas the original 1701-D wasn't. Having been at war for 20+ years you're bound to improve weapon and shield systems or be wiped out.
Ya, Riker was an idiot. Lets turn our back on a 20 year old outdated ship and run. If he just told Worf to fire everything we got and divert shield power to weapons/structural field, I doubt they would have taken so much damage... On a side note, has anyone notice how lax security is in the 24th century? I mean, you have someone with electrical parts being taken hostage, and your first thought isn't to scan any returning electrical devices for modifications done to it? At the very least, should have grabbed a spare and switched visors... This wasn't the first time Geordi's implants came back and bit them in the arse. These guys have a learning impediment.
They also forgot that Worf can remodulate the shields with the press of a button.
The real reason this scene exists was because the executives wanted the D destroyed to make way for the E in the next movie, but on a limited budget that forced the writers to come up with a way to recycle footage from the previous movie.
One of many reasons star trek generations is a mess
Wow all Riker has to do is say “fire” and Klingon ships explode?! XD
Q Gave him powers.
...he meant "fire...up that old footage of a Bird of Pry being blown to pieces in Star Trek 6!"
He says "fire" in Best of Both Worlds (pt.1 - season finale) and nothing happens to the Borg ship.
However, because of his word, all Klingon ships within fifteen sectors were combusting like grasshoppers in a volcano.
That’s how incredibly bad-ass Will Riker is.
Out of the ones here, the destruction of the refit Enterprise is the only one that really hurts the most. I still can't watch that scene without bawling my eyes out
I hated when 1701-D was destroyed.....love that Galaxy Class.
The ship destruction that was most affecting for me was the destruction of the refit Enterprise. Chekov was remarkably composed during that scene. He probably waited until he was settled in his quarters on Vulcan to have a good cry.
When Geordi said there's nothing he can do, that being up a creek without a paddle...
1:46 RIP original Enterprise
I saw it in the theater and it was quite sad to see the old girl blow up but it was a writer's ploy at the time since back then the Enterprise was a cast member but after that it was just a ship with letters behind it . I know it sounds stupid to younger fans but watch the original show and you catch my drift and know what I mean .
Dan Reese i know how you feel
:'c
I'm pretty sure that's the Enterprise-A.
NCC 1701 No Bloody A,B,C or D
I remember when I watched Star Trek Beyond with a friend who was drunk and when they cut the warp nacelles off, he just giggled and said "They cut them bitches off!"
4:22 Meanwhile I’m still in the bathroom in the ship section with my headphones on playing MineCraft classic
*walks out of the bathroom*
WTF JUST HAPPENED!!!!!
Walks out of bathroom
No one is on ship
OOOOO SHIT!
You let D (alternate timeline) from "Yesterday's Enterprise" off on a technicality - though we never outright SEE D (alternate) destroyed before that timeline's reset, she was gonna blow before the reboot.
Most violent destruction HAS to be 1701 (Kelvin) from "Beyond"; it still breaks my heart a little seeing her dismembered.
She took one hell of a beating. And kirk stayed on board her until he was the last living officer left. And I did like the call back to the Constitution class having a separation ability.
@@TheCrackedFirebird And knowing that what's (not, will, might, don't give a crap about this story) gonna be a simulateus NA NFL piston kick right to the knackers from Pike & THEN revealing the Talosian less "baddies" & more or less folks whose combination of immortality, boredom & the telepathic ability of a 1000 Charles Xavier plus 20!
My favourite Star Trek "Enterprise" destructions are "Star Trek Generations," and "Star Trek Beyond."
Star Trek Generations had great practical effects for the saucer and the planet. Star Trek Beyond had great sound design that perfectly conveyed the sheer scale of the Enterprise (and also a score that perfectly complements the action in the film).
And Star Trek III packed a huge punch to the heart.
Honestly beyond is badiclly what we do with action figures when we’re younger. Just smash than into shit. The enterprise loses its dish, than engines, gets split in FUCKING half, suffers like 1000 hull breaches, crashes onto a planet, and flips over.
Its the USS Enterprise, enterprise is a name of a show.
3:28 I love the way Riker says “fire”
I feel like I’m the only one who really likes the kelvin timelines ship design.
I didn't mind it, looks more like a "muscle car" in comparison to the original(s). A suitable "character" for a sci-fi/action/adventure styled movie.
As long as you don't take a close look inside, try to figure out how all that big spacious stuff is supposed to fit in there, then it looks ugly.
I agree when it comes to the 2009 version. The 2016 version of NCC-1701 was just flat out disgusting imo. That being said, NCC-1701-A for the Kelvin timeline was absolutely beautiful, and looked so much like the original we all know and love.
You’re not alone
I like the 2009 enterprise also tbh
new enterprise design was amazing, much smoother and cleaner. what you'd expect of a futuristic starship with an actual reactor space. It's also shown how the ship is new compared to the rest of starfleet in the movie design with how white it is compared to every other ships hull. It shows the beginning of a new era which started when the kelvin was destroyed by the narada.
Star Trek Beyond is so underrated.
I agree. I think it's the best film of the rebooted films
Heck yeah, THE SWARM APPROACHES MENACINGLY
Last one:
All of that, and yet the consoles somehow managed to refrain from blowing up
plateshutoverlock Finally a starship not packed to the brim with fireworks.
They are very heat retardant
Its weird. In this new timeline, they dont build computer circuits out of C4 and detcord.
Looks like in the alternate timeline, they didn’t construct consoles out of highly combustible materials.
you is wrong
And the NHTSA gave the 1987 Galaxy Class it's lowest rating ever for frontal collision.
Poor.
As shown in this video, none of the occupants were restrained during impact. Most occupants sustained serious and or life threatening injuries.
A crash at that speed with all those people getting thrown head first in all directions I'm surprised anyone survived
"Come on daddy! The UFO went down over there!"
watching the Original Enterpise destruction was like watching a part of my childhood dying right before my eyes and all the world I once knew with loved ones and friends that are no longer in this world, but just mere memories. They and the Enterprise were there with me from the beginning, but then time moves on and things change forever never to return.
2:58 "Captain! We've been penetrated from behind!!" LMAO what a childish mind I have...
lol a very good one xD
In your Federation, you are attack much..from...behind?
In Kazakhstan....verrry much.
My cousin. He attack once by Turkmenistani Giant...
@@n.w.1803 Oooooookay.....
8:52 They're trying to warp away _without_ the deflector to clear the way in front of them. If the tiniest atom hits the hull at FTL speeds, it can pierce right through. Imagine if they encountered a tiny meteor... just shows you how desperate the situation is.
Like the hyperdrive scene in "The Last Jedi"...Not gonna spoil it further.
U dont need the deflector for warp.
You have navigational deflectors running. Those protect the ship from micro-meteors when traveling at a high rate of speed, lest a small rock is hit that would leave anything from a dent in the hull to something much worse, a hole through the entire ship.
Dan Trigona The warp drive in star trek works different then in real world. If you go on warp the ship creates a warpbubble which allow you to enter a Layer of the subspace. In subspace there are no particles which can crush into the ship. But if you use the impulsedrive you need a deflector dish because full impulse is 0.93 % of warp one (for galay class). But if you want to go on warp in our world you need a deflector dish because we have no subspace
8:11 Enterprise vs The Matrix robots!!!
First self destruct: Gets you in the feels - but what a lousy destruction; most of the ship is still intact!!
Kj16V
that's because of the
GENESIS planet's gravity
otherwise it probably would've
burned up or
exploded to finish the
self destruct sequence
I tend to agree. With all the antimatter being carried, the Enterprise should've been vaporized.
Is it scientifically accurate? No. I would argue, though, that seeing it slowly disintegrate as it streaks across the sky is more dramatic and emotional than it just blowing up.
If they detonated the warp core, as a destruct would more likely be, it would have also adversely affected the planet below as well as the only other ship in orbit, and therefore eliminating their means of escape.
While the ship may have looked largely intact externally, internally it was completely ripped up and melted away.
Also, note as the dead hulk goes flying toward the screen after the fireball. It is flying past in the same orientation as the original series enterprise in the very first version of the opening credits. If only to tug the feels a bit harder
I have a theory. Kirk is a good tactician. I think he worked out a plan that worked perfectly. (In the movie, Kirk asked Sulu how many Klingons there was. Sulu said there was a dozen officers and men. Kirk then replied that some of them were on the planet surface.) Kirk knew the Enterprise was a lost cause and already planned to steal the Klingon ship from the beginning due to the fact the Enterprise was severely damaged and was considered a "sitting duck." So Kirk agreed to surrender the ship and to allow the Klingons to board the Enterprise. Then, Kirk, Scotty and Chekov ordered the ships destruction by using a specific destruct code designed to destroy the saucer section only. (Assuming the Constitution Class has separation abilities.) This would be needed, for example if they were to split the ship and use the two halves as two different vectors of attack in battle. If the saucer happened to get invaded - they would need to be able to destruct the saucer if the crew was unable to fend off the invaders. If their only means of self destruct was solely in the secondary hull - then they would have no way to self destruct the saucer section once the ship has been separated. This would cause the ship, in essence, to fall into enemy hands and allow the enemy to learn about Starfleets technology. This wouldn't seem right. If they had set the warp core to breach due to an anti-matter explosion, it would not only completely annihilate the Enterprise but it would highly risk destroying the Klingon ship as well since the destruction of the Enterprise was suppose to be an "sneak maneuver." The Klingon ship may not have escaped an anti-matter explosion in time to avoid destruction at that point - being at close proximity to the Enterprise. (In the movie, you can see the Klingon ship moving away from the Enterprise as the destruction is happening. The Klingon commander was obviously caught off guard. I would think an anti-matter explosion would just take a couple of seconds if not instantly after the countdown has reached zero to destroy the entire ship; along with anything close to it. Also, notice after the final explosion of the Enterprise that the saucer section is the only part of the ship that is partially destroyed and severely damaged? The secondary hull is completely intact except for the scarring from the explosion. You can even see mini explosions and fire from within the saucer as the hull is burning away - something you do not see at all happening to the secondary hull. This leads me to believe the destruct was focused on the saucer section by design. If it were a saucer only destruction, it would seem logical to conclude that the secondary hull would not be anywhere near the saucer during the saucer sections destruction. This would explain why the saucer is partially destroyed and severely damaged and the secondary hull is not.) So, with that said. The 'saucer only' destruction would ensure that the Klingon ship would not be destroyed - while successfully wiping out the majority of the Klingon crew that boarded the Enterprise. Kirk and crew would then arrive on the surface; take care of the remaining Klingons and then take over the Klingon ship since they would have out numbered the Klingons at that point. They would then go to Vulcan to complete their personal mission. This is just my theory... (Additional. Some would say "Well. They were using the same destruct code in the TOS episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield." Why would they only wish to destroy only the saucer then?" Answer: I don't know. It's just my theory. :) )
I have to admit, when Kirk says, "Fire!" it always sounds pretty badass, but Riker at the 3:30 mark comes close.
"They have found a way to penetrate our shields!"
Thanks for the heads-up, chief.
21st Century: "Your password must include a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, a special character other than a period, dragon tears, and the blood of a virgin, and cannot be a password used within the last 50 combinations, and must be changed every 3 months."
23rd Century: "Code Zero... Zero... Zero... Destruct! Zero."
And that's the Utopian world we should have listened to Gene Roddenberry about.
Well you got this dragon's tears for the destruction of rhe Enterprise D
Data: "oh shit"
me: well mr data thats why we love you, you know how to talk in those situations
I cannot imagine how traumatizing it must have been for fans to see the Enterprise blow up when they went to see The Search for Spock in theaters. Like, how horrified had fans to have been to see that happen in front of them?
The nacelles being cut off was like pulling the wings off of a fly!
The destruction of the Kelvin Enterprise is a total nightmare scenario. It's horrifying
Data's "Oh shit" and the subsequent crash scene was probably my favorite thing about Star Trek Generations.
The Search for Spock was and still is the most gut wrenching point in Trek History, Adm Kirk destroys the only women he really loves, USS Enterprise. The rest are sad but Picard did not love the E-D like Kirk loved the big E. And Kirk 2.0 only was featured in 3 movies we the viewers never got a chance to get to know his enterprise.
While I would say the Destruction of the D was also quite sad I mostly agree. I always found the destruction of the enterprise to be the depressing image, since more than any other character (yes I consider the ships characters), the "Star Ship Earth" represents the essence of human progress.
Alexander O'Neill the Defiant has what I consider the second best death. The original Enterprise lost to a Bird of Prey, but at least it had a good reason (Bird of Prey was a contemporary ship, the 1701 had just gotten the shit kicked out of it, etc). Compared to the D, which was a disgrace. Likewise, I thought the kelvin destruction was even worse, since the action was so quick and the ship rendered inert at the start that there was no tension, and we had already seen the ship almost destroyed the last three movies.
Meanwhile, the Defiant was in an epic battle that you expected to go well and suddenly turned into an epic loss.
+Starvino I think what I found most sad about the destruction of the D was it happened in a lack luster movie. To be honest I always preferred the Enterprise over the defiant simply because I liked what it stood for. However I 100% agree that from a story standpoint the original and the defiant had the best ends, even if each was replaced by a clone ship. As for the Kelvin, I assume you mean the Kelvin timeline Enterprise (not the actual Kelvin which was destroyed before the title sequence). I think the problem was it never got the chance to show off how well it fought against a normal enemy. Movie 1) a big ship from the future, movie 2) a dreadnought which was more powerful than necessary, movie 3) a swarm of ships that had no prior screen time took it out in the first act. I think it kinda makes the enterprise look weak.
Alexander O'Neill exactly, I was too lazy to write Kelvin-timeline Enterprise. But I got that feeling, both the much bigger Enterprise and its captain were always getting demolished in combat. Of course the foes were more powerful, but proper Kirk overcame many a powerful foe with much less. Really, it felt like they were doing torture porn on the enterprise by the third movie, because not only did it seem to be destroyed without doing anything at all, but the sequence was SO FUCKING LONG. it somehow felt rushed and drawn out at the same time compared to theSearch for Spock.
And really all they had to do was play 1990s rap music really loud to transform those ships into waves of fire.
Starvino : It would been a nice homage if they played that punk rocker's music on the bus from ST: IV TVH.
Future insurance agents won't touch any ship named "Enterprise" with a ten-foot pole after watching this.
And from this point on, every god damn single movie must have some kind of enterprise destruction and or nearly destruction because the damn ship can´t go thru two movies without successfully surviving because that would be deemed "too boring".
Yeah Anthony, that´s what I said, thru.
The problem is in the Kelvin timeline they never found the planet where they mined the materials that make up plot armour.....
In part it's because they want to keep redesigning everything because every egomaniac director wants to make everything "his." When all spaceships were models, they changed too little, and had to be "reset" for the next movie or episode. So damage was never dramatic enough because they didn't want to wreck the model. But when everything became CGI the opposite problem happened. Now there is a major refit every fifteen minutes. In-universe, the original Enterprise being converted to the Motion Picture era version took 18 months and they even cut it short because of the V'ger crisis. Now they redraw the whole thing because they feel like it, without even offering any in-universe explanation as to why, how, or when. I swear everything has turned stupid.
Its been that way since 1982.
Wrath of Khan - torn to shreds
Search for Spock - Self Destruct
Voyage Home - Crash in the ocean
Undiscovered Country - torn to shreds and decommissioned
Generations - Core Breach and Crash
First Contact - nearly Assimilated and nearly Destructed
Nemesis - torn to shreds and ripped nearly in half
so yeah, not just a Kelvin Timeline thing here
Curious Cat 7:53 this might as well be the Enterprise vs. the flying robots from The Matrix!
I've been looking for this compilation for a while but I never knew what to type into the Search bar!
This is a very good Star Trek destruction Episode. This is one I haven't seen . Thank you this is just fantastic.
Data's "ohhhhhh SHIT" is one of the greatest moments in all of Star Trek.
I never understood why
Checkov's accent got thicker
in the movies from
the original series
Because he got older. Have you heard him talk now? Can barely understand him.
Comedic relief
To make him seem more Russian I suppose.
After I left my other comment, I heard him say that his accent automatically got thicker as he got older. He said the same thing happened with his dad
Babylon 5 playing Vestr took a toll
"Hi! I'm a 30 second starship."
"Hi! I'm a 29 second starship."
"Hi! I'm a 28 second starship."
The refit one was the most heartfelt, especially since the destruction code is taken from the TOS episode, "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield."
The Beyond one was the most brutal, especially since in the other two they had the time to get everyone to safety. In Beyond basically 99% of the crew is either captured or killed and the ship is ripped apart piece by piece.
The Enterprise D was pretty much the unluckiest, since it seems like everything that shouldn't have gone wrong went wrong.
It gets a little old. Watching what is supposed to be the strongest ship in the fleet be destroyed every five minutes.
The codes for starting the self-destruct sequence of the USS Enterprise are as secure as my internet passwords. :D
proximity blasts would have made short work of that swarm.
There weren't any.
You can set the phasers and torpedo's to do that, they did it in "Balance of Terror" to take out the Romulan Bird of Prey.
Then they would destroy themselves
Right i'll just change the set... and the weapons are smashed...
I'd love to see that swarm weapon against the Borg. Their shields would perhaps stop it, but if it didn't it would be fun to see how far it could penetrate a cube.
From those of you who don't know the enterprise well. The big "engines" in the back of the ship are warp drives. The do not propelle the ship. The small engine in the back of the saucer does that.
Those are Warp Nacelles that create the warp feild bubble. With out warp coils to shape and create the field, you don't go anywhere. The Nacelles are an important part to be sure. That's why they are very tempting targets.
Private Jenkins I did not know that!
@@vull8375 not sure if sarcasm. Internet is a tricky place to be sure
Private Jenkins also, if they create warp bubbles to protect the ship, how come in into darkness the dreadnaught could enter the ernterprises warp bubble?
@@vull8375 in the Trek universe, merging warp fields is possible. Also, into Darkness shows a more advanced ship. Though I don't remember them mentioning the Vengeance breaching the Enterprise's warp bubble. Established lore states that if warp fields aren't calibrated properly before interacting with another one, the results can be devastating to both ships.
I think I pulled a muscle clicking this video so quickly
Star Trek III was really underrated. I remember sitting in the theatre as a boy and not believing that they just destroyed the Enterprise.
2:04 She was a fine ship... =(
The best line out of any Trek movie: Data in ST Generations: "Oooooohhh Shit!"
That Beyond destruction scene is the most spectacular of the entire filmography
Thanks. Thoroughly enjoyed.
All hands brace for impact is all I imagine every time I’m on a plane coming in to land
