Riker's smile after Geordi tells him he's already ejected the Warp Core. After serving together for well over a decade, the crew of the Enterprise is able to act like a perfect, well oiled machine. Some orders probably don't even need to be given since they can already anticipate what their CO's would expect of them. Geordi already having ejected the core before Riker gives the order is a perfect example of this.
That was a double entendre, too. Geordi was also referring to 'crapping himself' (figuratively), and Riker caught that reference. A little humor in the middle of a life or death situation is a very common coping mechanism.
And in the next second with the Enterprise swooping around that pocket of gas. The ship hasn't changed shape but suddenly it's giving off an attitude of "About time, Commander. Those bastards made me eject my warp core...I _liked_ that warp core!"
Actually, I recognize the joystick design: it's a Gravis PC flightstick, probably 1 of the Blackbird models from the 1990s onward. Gravis became a fairly big brand name in the PC game controller market, starting w/ their relatively humble 4-button gamepads & rapidly expanding (thanx 2 an aggressive marketing campaign) 2 joysticks, flightsticks & mice. For a while, they were giving the venerable market giant Thrustmaster (revered 4 their sexy "military accurate" FCS flightsticks as well as rudder control & HOTAS accessories) a run 4 their money. The Blackbird models were cool because they were both shorter & lighter than their Thrustmaster counterparts, plus they included a throttle dial control (which the Thrustmaster FCS did not; a separate HOTAS throttle was the only option if U wanted 2 avoid using your keyboard) & the more expensive models had a thumb-operated "hat switch" (basically a small knob which behaved like a directional pad). The most advanced Gravis model had a larger base unit & more buttons, but the overall design of the flightstick was the same. When I 1st saw this scene I literally LOLed -- because it was hilarious 2 think that 24th-century engineers designed a popup manual steering column 4 the bridge, then had the following discussion: Starfleet Engineer #1: Hey, the design spec calls for a multi-button ... "flightstick" ... which is supposed to mechanically extend out of & retract back into the top of the column. What the devil is a "flightstick"? Starfleet Engineer #2: Oh, that's old tech from the late 20th century thru the early 21st. I've got an old flightstick my family's been passing down for generations -- still works! Engineer #1: Seriously? Think we could incorporate it into this modern starship design? 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

All the people that say this movie feels like a regular episode of TNG aren't wrong, and that's not a bad thing. I remember first discovering this movie: I wasn't even aware it had come out when originally released, and only discovered it around 2005-ish... over a decade since TNG had gone off the air. I downloaded it or rented it on DVD or something, and it was like I'd discovered a bonus two-part episode of TNG that I'd never seen before and it immediately brought me back to the Saturday "pizza and Star Trek" nights of when I was a kid in the '80s and early '90s. So it's not a masterpiece. It's not Wrath of Khan or First Contact, retreads some themes they've already tread in the series, and there are some parts where you can totally see the lack of budget (there's a little footbridge that, like, bounces like it's made of plastic, because it totally is). What the movie DOES have is the morality play of the series, some good action scenes, Data reverting to TNG-era Data versus the movie-era emotion-chip-having Data (I know they explain that "he left the chip at home" but I thought it was supposed to be fused to his brain or something). It's got F. Murray Abraham acting his ass off in every scene he's in, beardless Riker, Donna Murphy being a Picard love interest that I really wish they'd followed up on (they did follow up on the Riker/Troi romance, thankfully), and -- most of all -- as someone else said, it captured the essence of the show. Had it actually BEEN an episode, it would've been one of the better ones. So yeah. It feels like an extended episode of TNG... and that's what makes it awesome.
Given the dystopian depressing USA party political episodes of Picard and discovery being led by a character more annoying than Nelix and early Westley Crusher combined ...I'd take this TNG in a second The bar is so low now
Generations was more of an extended TNG ep, with the same ship and uniforms as the series. Soran had fused the chip into Data's neural net, which became a weakness the Borg Queen was able to exploit in First Contact so they must have found a way to remove it.
@@ryancarroll3957 I'd even watch Nemesis again versus the garbage that Kurtzman and Co. have been pumping out. I gave Strange New Worlds a chance and of all the current Trek it was borderline watchable.
"If it doesn't, then they'll be teaching people at the academy not to do it for a long time to come!" Damn DVD releases always being different from the theatrical.
This is one of the best upscales of something I've seen. It legit doesn't look dated at all, as upscales sometimes still do. Probably has to do with how they shot it. Scale models, real sets, and only simple CGI that doesn't need much work to look good.
The scene where the Enterprise-E is blown away after the warp core detonation looks as bad as the warp effect of the Enterprise-A when it was trying to dodge the Klingon's torpedo in The Final Frontier.
It gets extra flack because it’s a romance story for Picard … and a tale of how evil fascism is … the fascist element of the fan base aren’t getting the usual emotive erections they desire … so it gets slaughtered!! 😂😂👍🏼
It feels like a long episode rather than a movie. However it's not as bad as others remember it. Due to First Contact being so good, it set the bar so high for the next film.
I don't think the script was anywhere close to the level of TNG. TNG never relied upon war like scenes, CGI with big booms, to drive plot. TNG scripts were based on ideas.
I always love jordi's deft Statement "I'll be in engineering" When riker says "if we don't outrun them the manifolds will be the only thing left of the ship"
I only JUST FOUND OUT that a lot of people don't like this movie, which surprises me since I've enjoyed EVERY SINGLE Trek film in a different way... And THIS ONE is just one of my favorites. Hoped you enjoyed the rewatch. :)
@@TFZ.Every Star Trek? How about Discovery or the JJ Abrams movies? I'd be surprised, considering all the fan hate that just pours out of those IPs in every single appearance. I didn't mind parts of either.
@hyacinthtiger62 I actually haven't SEEN discovery... I HAVE seen the Abrams films though, and while I certainly wouldn't PERSONALLY call them "TREK" in the same way I would call the others, I also found things about them I liked. (I think I liked the second one best...)
4:08 The E coming about like that with that background and the music is actually really menacing. In like...a graceful way. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of her weapons array...
The E has such an iconic shape... it manages to look sleek and graceful, but with just enough edge and presence that you know you don't want to mess with it.
The Borg Cube that attacked Earth during the Battle of Sector 001, really regretted crossong the path of the Enterprise E, sure there were other ships lime those Akira class Destroyers, or the Steamrunner Blockade Escort and the Norway class ships, but in the end it the Enterprise E Phasers which opened a hole in the Cube, and it was also the Enterprise E Quantum Torpedoes that destroyed the Cube and the Sphere later on.
Its one of those "features" that was added after the question was asked, "Why dont other ships have a Captains yacht?" I really dislike retroactively adding things like this to past ships. Same thing with, for _some_ reason, most past Federation ships now being able to separate their saucers, despite it never being mentioned before, let alone seen. Its just stupid as all it does is make the lore a mess riddled with holes.
@@SvendleBerries Except it wasn't added in retrospect, the Galaxy class always had it, and can be seen in certain shots, same with the Intrepid class. The only reason it was never seen in an episode of either was because of budget.
@neq825 I believe Voyagers is called an Aeroshuttle and it used at least once I think? Could be wrong tho. It's basically forgotten once they get the Delta Flyer
@@farsaber It was never used in the show. Though a CGI scene of it detaching was made by production. I like to think they stripped it for parts the first couple of years. Though a throwaway line saying this when they built the Delta Flyer would have been nice.
People are saying, “this is the best line” but I don’t see anyone mentioning the best line in the history of Star Trek, a line so momentous that Gene Roddenberry himself would have shed a tear If he were still alive to hear it, “and have you noticed how your boobs have started to firm up?”-data
Well, torpedoes do have a range of millions of km and can be fired at Warp too. Also bear in mind that full impulse couldn't be used. If we assume that maximum impulse is around 74 000 km/s (could be higher in normal space) then it stands to reason that torpedoes wouldn't necessarily have similar speed limitations as starships... they are after all launched at faster velocities and wouldn't need to worry about speed limits inside the Briar patch... so, there's that. Phasers on the other hand I think are limited to 300 000 km range.
They needed to fly slow AF and only being SLIGHTLY faster than the E that moment, thus they would have needed time for that. The torpedo? Doesnt care if it would blow up or not sooner or later so them run at full speed all the time. Wich the sona soon after did too to catch the E again, bombarding her with torpedo's in the meantime. Sad that the E couldnt fight to 100% in the briar patch... otherwise them sona would have ben toast XD
I miss Star Trek movies like Insurrection and series' like TNG and Voyager! The battle sequences in those movies and TV series, like this for example, look just as epic today as it did when the movies came out. Today's Star Trek just isn't the same.
Patrick Stewart was really ripped in those First Contact / Insurrection days. And that final beamout scene was just epic, if a little too dramatic (the ship didnt NEED to be right on top of him).
The look on her face at 4:28 when Riker says he wants to shove the gas down the Son'a's throats... she's never wanted anyone so badly before. It's so freaking funny in the middle of the battle. Also, this whole battle and the stuff on the array... really awesome stuff. Especially Riker getting to manually pilot the E. An absolutely beautiful ship design.
They should have used a different design for the manual control. It looked like Riker was playing a video game in the middle of the battle. And the way he had to lean over to use it looked awkward.
@@briansmith2739 Both Nemesis and Final Frontier were both a result of having to change the ending Final Frontier was a budget one and the original ending of Nemesis ending just didn't work due to time castrates they were unable to improve from an okayish ending sadly
Absolutely gorgeous upscaling. You can see a little bit of the markers, there are a few moments with that oil painting effect. But the explosions and smoke are absolutely stunning. Looks extremely professional.
@@stefanschleps8758 Yes ma little spoiled kid. They did and had fun, imagine that. In 25 years, when I am dust and bones, some pisshead turns up and will say the same about your favourite movie Thomas the Tank Engine and friends. 🙄
When Riker ordered a Collision course I had a flashback moment in my mind to the Battle of Wolf 359 where Riker Tells Wesley Crusher A COLLISION COURSE ENSIGN , I wonder if the Baku were ever Assimilated at some point
most likely not since The Borg had no interest for the Baku and had other things to do than going after the Baku. Cannon Lore states the Borg had no use for them either or whatever utilities they could have seen of any value to the collective like the metaphasic healing properties and even if the Borg did come after them they would never have had any tacticle use for the Baku's metaphasic healing properties as a tool.
@@FLAME4564 there’s no canon mention of anything to do with the Borg assimilating the Ba’ku. I hate when people do what you’ve done and lay something down as fact when it’s bloody not.
@@1978rharris Seriously now The borg at the time of the events of Star Trek Insurrection were either too occupied in the delta quadrent or did not have any ships to send thru the nearest part of their transwarp hub to the alpha quadrent and even if they did it would take them a certain amount of time thru Transwarp to reach the Bakku and seriously mate Ive done nothing wrong u idiot.
The only scene that still gets to me 26 years later is watching that admiral get his face stretched out. That was a bit too much for a 9 year old to watch in theaters.
Imagine if Riker had used the Enterprise's superior maneuverability and her forward weapons... I don't really like the way they changed him in the movies. He was actually a pretty damn solid tactician in TNG. Generations and Insurrection all he did was run when he either was more than a match (Generations) or at least equal to his foe.
Exactly. What happened to that "commence rapid fire with all weapons on full" order he called for when they were fighting that Husnock warship years earlier? Granted, they were hampered quite a bit by the Briar Patch in "Insurrection," but last time I checked, the Briar Patch gases would've had little effect on a full spread of torps.
@@ShaolinShadowStroke they would need to spin the Enterprise around cancel her forward momentum and accelerate towards the Son’a with fouled up injectors whilst burning deuterium, all in all it was less risky to run until the Son’a used the isolytic burst at which point they had to go on the offensive because they didn’t have another warp core to seal any subspace tears
There is also a diplomatic reason here Riker doesn't want to fire on someone who is technically an ally of the federation Dumping volatile gas infront of a ship would do nothing if the sonar didn't shoot a self inflicted destruction
@@jasonpeace1991 that too, he cain claim he was attacked but held back his response to merely releasing concentrated gas’s in their path that would have harmlessly dispersed had the Son’a not fired
@@jasonpeace1991 That makes a lot of sense. It's like when Worf took the Defiant into battle against the Lakota in DS9. You could tell he was pulling punches, which is almost unheard of for Klingons. He didn't want to injure fellow Starfleet officers if he could avoid it, even though the Defiant was being hammered early in the engagement. Captain Benteen didn't want to go all-out, either, which is why she balked when Admiral Leyton ordered her to switch from photon to quantum torpedoes.
Ok, what possessed that Son’a battlecruiser to shoot at the Metryon gas cloud the Enterprise dropped in front of it at 5:06 - 5:07? They really weren’t thinking about how dangerous that stuff was, and it shows.
Honestly this is clipping together of scenes i was not expecting to find. Honestly majorly happy finding this. You manage to not only bring one of the major scenes, but also the ones after as well Liked the joke at the end for the scene with Data and Worf, but...will say sadly did detract from if we just got the finishing of the beginning of that part of the credits song
Worf gets the best line in the whole movie. Tournel, with an unfortunate view of a Federation vessel getting bigger, fearing that the officer in charge of it is madder than he thought: "He wouldn't!" Worf, knowing exactly how made Riker can be, having played cards against the man more than once: "Yes. He would." Cold as ice.
Born in 67. Grew up in the 70s watching the TOS. I can still remember the anticipation when TNG aired in the mid 80s. Then it was like crazy in the 90s. All in the same decade, TNG, DS9 and Voyager. And even Enterprise was great too. I really miss the story arcs from those shows in those years. Seems like everything nowadays is so damn heavy.
I'll never understand the hate this movie gets. Even though I'm more of a TOS fan and hardly a ST:NG watcher, I absolutely loved this movie. I think it's one of the best in the series.
Every time I see the enterprise go up against a ship more powerful I think the reason it always makes it out of trouble is because of tactics and a smart captain and crew that comes up with out of the box unorthodox ways to beat the enemy and plot armor lol
There are no winners in Galactic war, ( or Earthly war) just love. Tragedy is that we ( as humans ) still have a to learn a lot. ( not all of us), but, beyond this...Always LOVE. Thank you Roj
'Star Trek- Insurrection' wasn't bad, I wish that Rick Berman had just focused a little more on having 'this' movie and 'Nemesis' more involved in the Dominion War. I've always envisioned a hand-to-hand battle between thousands of Klingon warriors and the Jem' Hadar soldiers.
They addressed that factor. Enterprise was needed for diplomatic envoy purposes to meet up new alliances during the war - plays dead center into Picard's proven ability as a diplomat. Enterprise was a high-brow ship, not one meant for the working class that were sent on missions in the war with high probability of never returning.
3:44 The Starship U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701E handling that warp core explosion like The Starship U.S.S. Excelsior NCC-2000 did when she rode the wave after the Klingon Khitomer Moon Explosion in StarTrek 6:The Undiscovered Country.
Saw this movie in the cinema when it came out. Imagine my chagrin when I later found out that it was 'bad movie' and I should, in fact, not have enjoyed it after all.
"Captain, the Son'a crew would like to negotiate a ceasefire. It may have something to do with the fact that we have 3 minutes of air left." Absolutely hilarious line.
7:37 Haha funny that they beamed out Picard only, they're sensors would of picked up 2 lifeforms, could of beam both guys outta there, place the villian under arrest upon arrival, instead haha just left him there...
*Spoilers* In the first edition hardback novel of the film, written by J.M Dillard, and in the cinema test screening, Ruafu originally jumped into the collector pod and it launched up into the planet's rings. He became younger and younger until nothing. The actor whom played 'Young Ruafu' is written in the end credit.
The only thing missing from the TNG era shows and movies is the silver handles. The original show had them and the kelvin timeline movies had them. Every time the captain tells you to go to warp, the helmsman would push one of those handles forward. The handle's would like you know....give you the feel of the ship.
The aesthetic created by Mike Okuda for everything from TNG onwards was for smooth, touch sensitive surfaces that can be reconfigured to the users preference. So it’s not like you can miss it. The tech just moved on from what you like.
No TOS did not have those throttles to go to warp, that was only in the JJ Ambrams movies, I'm assuming because JJ is a Star Wars fan and in Star Wars to go to hyperspace you move a throttle. In TOS it was usually controlled by button presses from the helm, navigation, or engineering; kind of changed based on whoever wrote the episode really. What you might be thinking of was for a brief period in the original pilot and sometimes in the first season where there were the grey viewers that looked like lamps at the various stations. As I was typing this though I just remembered the only time in the prime universe that Enterprise had a throttle was The Motion Picture, during the scenes in the first half of the movie Sulu uses a throttle to very gradually go to warp.
Fun fact, the actor who played the Son'a-Officer saying "He wouldn't!" was Joseph Ruskin. He guest-starred in episodes of four of the five Original Trek Series: He was Galt in TOS "The Gamesters of Triskelion", Tumek in DS9 "The House of Quark" and "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places", a Cardassian Informant DS9 "Improbable Cause", a Vulcan in VOY "Gravity" and a Suliban in ENT "Broken Bow"
It’s part of the ship, it isn’t really that different from a saucer separation or a multi vector assault mode. Each part is still part of the same ship even if acting independently so wouldn’t have a different registry. As for spare warp cores, I know the design for the Intrepid included a spare that clearly Voyager had it being installed Tuesday but never seen indications the Sovereign had spares.
@@backupplan6058 Theres slots for 5 spare warpcore behind geordi when he says it to riker and the captains yacht is a whole seperate craft like runabouts have seperate registrys but they are just shuttles
@@plummet3860 you don’t seem to understand the ship’s design at all, first they are not slots for warp cores, if anything they are ether power conduits or part of the cooling system. Second the captain yacht is designed to be held as part of the sovereigns hull. It’s not a runabout intended to launch from a shuttle bay or launch pad. These come as part of the sovereign class.
The Sovereign class is such a perfect looking ship. Manages to mix the classic Enterprise look with the sleek lines and curves of the Excelsior and even Voyager. It looks fast and mean.
“Nemesis” ended with Riker leaving to assume command of the USS Titan. If you need more info, here’s what I know: USS Titan NCC-80102 Luna-class Primary Function: Science Vessel Lead Designer: Sean Tourangeau Launched: 2379 Commanding Officer: William T. Riker In Service: 2379-2396 Status: Decommissioned

All the people that say this movie feels like a regular episode of TNG aren't wrong, and that's not a bad thing. I remember first discovering this movie: I wasn't even aware it had come out when originally released, and only discovered it around 2005-ish... over a decade since TNG had gone off the air. I downloaded it or rented it on DVD or something, and it was like I'd discovered a bonus two-part episode of TNG that I'd never seen before and it immediately brought me back to the Saturday "pizza and Star Trek" nights of when I was a kid in the '80s and early '90s.
So it's not a masterpiece. It's not Wrath of Khan or First Contact, retreads some themes they've already tread in the series, and there are some parts where you can totally see the lack of budget (there's a little footbridge that, like, bounces like it's made of plastic, because it totally is). What the movie DOES have is the morality play of the series, some good action scenes, Data reverting to TNG-era Data versus the movie-era emotion-chip-having Data (I know they explain that "he left the chip at home" but I thought it was supposed to be fused to his brain or something). It's got F. Murray Abraham acting his ass off in every scene he's in, beardless Riker, Donna Murphy being a Picard love interest that I really wish they'd followed up on (they did follow up on the Riker/Troi romance, thankfully), and -- most of all -- as someone else said, it captured the essence of the show. Had it actually BEEN an episode, it would've been one of the better ones.
So yeah. It feels like an extended episode of TNG... and that's what makes it awesome.
Given the dystopian depressing USA party political episodes of Picard and discovery being led by a character more annoying than Nelix and early Westley Crusher combined ...I'd take this TNG in a second
The bar is so low now
Generations was more of an extended TNG ep, with the same ship and uniforms as the series. Soran had fused the chip into Data's neural net, which became a weakness the Borg Queen was able to exploit in First Contact so they must have found a way to remove it.
Just the Jerry Goldsmith score elevates the TNG movies from feeling like extended TV episodes.
I could not have said it better!!
@@ryancarroll3957 I'd even watch Nemesis again versus the garbage that Kurtzman and Co. have been pumping out. I gave Strange New Worlds a chance and of all the current Trek it was borderline watchable.
Geordi really turned into a badass in the movies. Taking charge of engineering LIKE A BOSS.
When he ain't readin' he leadin'... jaja...
Well he is the boss down there.
Agreed but he ejected the warp core without orders. He would never do that in the TV series
@@ChrisCamaro He absolutely would

"This will go down in history as the Riker maneuver!"
"If it works!"
"If it doesn't, then they'll be teaching people at the academy not to do it for a long time to come!"
Damn DVD releases always being different from the theatrical.
There is only one Riker maneuver. And this isn't it. 🙂
@@JessePinkman-t5othen what is?
I loved when Riker said, We're through runnin from these bastards".
This is one of the best upscales of something I've seen. It legit doesn't look dated at all, as upscales sometimes still do. Probably has to do with how they shot it. Scale models, real sets, and only simple CGI that doesn't need much work to look good.
Most of the effects are CGI including the Enterprise. I personally don't think they hold up too well, but YMMV.
Uhhhh that sequence starting at 0:29 looks like it's from a Playstation 2 game.
The rest of it looks OK, but *definitely* dated.
Pretty sure a lot of the space scenes still use a model. When the ship had the explosion that didn't look cgi at all lol...
The scene where the Enterprise-E is blown away after the warp core detonation looks as bad as the warp effect of the Enterprise-A when it was trying to dodge the Klingon's torpedo in The Final Frontier.
I don't understand why this movie gets so much flack. I really enjoy it 😊
It gets extra flack because it’s a romance story for Picard … and a tale of how evil fascism is … the fascist element of the fan base aren’t getting the usual emotive erections they desire … so it gets slaughtered!! 😂😂👍🏼
its the fact its glorified tng episode and not a very good episode to begin with
It feels like a long episode rather than a movie. However it's not as bad as others remember it. Due to First Contact being so good, it set the bar so high for the next film.
I don't think the script was anywhere close to the level of TNG. TNG never relied upon war like scenes, CGI with big booms, to drive plot. TNG scripts were based on ideas.
Same. I enjoyed it more than First Contact or (shudders) Nemesis.
God Nemesis was awful.
I always love jordi's deft Statement "I'll be in engineering" When riker says "if we don't outrun them the manifolds will be the only thing left of the ship"
I don’t remember this movie being this good! Time for a rewatch!
I only JUST FOUND OUT that a lot of people don't like this movie, which surprises me since I've enjoyed EVERY SINGLE Trek film in a different way... And THIS ONE is just one of my favorites.
Hoped you enjoyed the rewatch. :)
@@TFZ.Every Star Trek? How about Discovery or the JJ Abrams movies? I'd be surprised, considering all the fan hate that just pours out of those IPs in every single appearance. I didn't mind parts of either.
@hyacinthtiger62 I actually haven't SEEN discovery... I HAVE seen the Abrams films though, and while I certainly wouldn't PERSONALLY call them "TREK" in the same way I would call the others, I also found things about them I liked. (I think I liked the second one best...)
4:08 The E coming about like that with that background and the music is actually really menacing. In like...a graceful way. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of her weapons array...
The E has such an iconic shape... it manages to look sleek and graceful, but with just enough edge and presence that you know you don't want to mess with it.
@@mycroft16 The fact that it has the firepower to blast apart basically any for makes it much scarier
They may taken a few punches in the first round but now they got their second wind and going all out.
That's her "I'm through running from these bastards" expression.
The Borg Cube that attacked Earth during the Battle of Sector 001, really regretted crossong the path of the Enterprise E, sure there were other ships lime those Akira class Destroyers, or the Steamrunner Blockade Escort and the Norway class ships, but in the end it the Enterprise E Phasers which opened a hole in the Cube, and it was also the Enterprise E Quantum Torpedoes that destroyed the Cube and the Sphere later on.
I love Star Trek, in an unreasonable way
All love is unreasonable. That's sort of the point to it.
This was the first Star Trek film I followed online from beginning to end. I saw it twice in the theatre & it is my favourite Trek film.
Did you buy the computer game where you could partially explore the Enterprise E???
Amazing shots of the Big E!
The captain's yacht. A very underused asset of the Enterprise. The Galaxy class also had this feature.
Even the Intrepid class has it. I do not think it was ever shown on Voyager, but if you look at pictures of USS Voyager from below, it is obvious.
Its one of those "features" that was added after the question was asked, "Why dont other ships have a Captains yacht?" I really dislike retroactively adding things like this to past ships. Same thing with, for _some_ reason, most past Federation ships now being able to separate their saucers, despite it never being mentioned before, let alone seen. Its just stupid as all it does is make the lore a mess riddled with holes.
@@SvendleBerries Except it wasn't added in retrospect, the Galaxy class always had it, and can be seen in certain shots, same with the Intrepid class. The only reason it was never seen in an episode of either was because of budget.
@neq825 I believe Voyagers is called an Aeroshuttle and it used at least once I think? Could be wrong tho. It's basically forgotten once they get the Delta Flyer
@@farsaber It was never used in the show. Though a CGI scene of it detaching was made by production. I like to think they stripped it for parts the first couple of years. Though a throwaway line saying this when they built the Delta Flyer would have been nice.
Honestly one of my favorite parts of this movie was that they gave a plot reason for everyone acting like a cocky maniac.
"He wouldn't."
"Yes. He would."
Worf is everybody's best hype man.
"He wouldn't..."
"Yes. He would."
My favorite exchange in this film.
I truly love this movie. It was the TMP of TNG. Truly captured the essence of the show like a feature length episode.
That's... not a good thing 😂😂
Insurrection is honestly my favourite of the 4 TNG movies. It's got that two-parter feeling.
@@Sovereign01 Yes... It is.
@@haydenravenscroft1803 First Contact was better.
@@danielveres4351 Even-numbered Trek movies are better than odd-numbered ones.
People are saying, “this is the best line” but I don’t see anyone mentioning the best line in the history of Star Trek, a line so momentous that Gene Roddenberry himself would have shed a tear If he were still alive to hear it, “and have you noticed how your boobs have started to firm up?”-data
I laughed out loud when he said that
Not that we care about such things in this day and age...
Uh-haah...
@@Grimlock-ry8fg I do so - 1 for you !
I'm sure Gene said that line to Susan Sackett on a few occasions back in the day.
I mean, to be fair, it's Roddenberry, he just might. XD
Two Son'a ships on an intercept course, 18 minutes away, but their photon torpedoes go hella fast
PLOT Torpedoes
Well, torpedoes do have a range of millions of km and can be fired at Warp too.
Also bear in mind that full impulse couldn't be used. If we assume that maximum impulse is around 74 000 km/s (could be higher in normal space) then it stands to reason that torpedoes wouldn't necessarily have similar speed limitations as starships... they are after all launched at faster velocities and wouldn't need to worry about speed limits inside the Briar patch... so, there's that.
Phasers on the other hand I think are limited to 300 000 km range.
Remember: Bullets (or missile) are faster than planes.
Rule of air combat.
I guess torpedoes are faster than ships too.
They needed to fly slow AF and only being SLIGHTLY faster than the E that moment, thus they would have needed time for that. The torpedo? Doesnt care if it would blow up or not sooner or later so them run at full speed all the time. Wich the sona soon after did too to catch the E again, bombarding her with torpedo's in the meantime. Sad that the E couldnt fight to 100% in the briar patch... otherwise them sona would have ben toast XD
I miss Star Trek movies like Insurrection and series' like TNG and Voyager! The battle sequences in those movies and TV series, like this for example, look just as epic today as it did when the movies came out.
Today's Star Trek just isn't the same.
It's getting better with Strange New Worlds.
Well, at least you have Star Trek Discovery.
@@danieldickson8591 Darn Skippy! Heroes I can root for. Cause he looks like me.🙄
I think the Abrams film's were fantastic and brought a whole new generation of fans to the Saga.
OK, but Voyager, as a whole, was not exactly a high point of Trek despite some good points.
Loved watching the Enterprise E fighting and holding her own against heavily armed warships in an area of space she wasn't designed to fly in.
I thought you were pretty good on the Royals
The enterprise gets rekt once again, as usual. Poorly written stuff...
@@Einheit101 it takes a pounding but it doesn't get wrecked.
@@mattboesch8907 because the writers decided to let the reman stop firing 🤡
Patrick Stewart was really ripped in those First Contact / Insurrection days. And that final beamout scene was just epic, if a little too dramatic (the ship didnt NEED to be right on top of him).
The look on her face at 4:28 when Riker says he wants to shove the gas down the Son'a's throats... she's never wanted anyone so badly before. It's so freaking funny in the middle of the battle.
Also, this whole battle and the stuff on the array... really awesome stuff. Especially Riker getting to manually pilot the E. An absolutely beautiful ship design.
"I have a throat"
@@isodoubIet HAHA! Perfection.
Get yourself a partner that looks at you like that.
They should have used a different design for the manual control. It looked like Riker was playing a video game in the middle of the battle. And the way he had to lean over to use it looked awkward.
Wtf was that shit at the very end? 😂
that has to be one of my favorite shots of the Enterprise-E with her flying though while the collector explodes behind her
There are people who are always saying this is a bad movie but when you have scene gems like this how can you agree? Still one of my favorite movies~
Not the best TNG Movie but it's still better than Nemesis and Final Frontier.
@@briansmith2739 Both Nemesis and Final Frontier were both a result of having to change the ending Final Frontier was a budget one and the original ending of Nemesis ending just didn't work due to time castrates they were unable to improve from an okayish ending sadly

the CGI didnt age well at all. Yikes
Absolutely gorgeous upscaling. You can see a little bit of the markers, there are a few moments with that oil painting effect.
But the explosions and smoke are absolutely stunning. Looks extremely professional.
It looks better than it did in 1998

@@Zephal42 Lmaooo, got eem! He was just an itch in his daddy's pants in 98.
Watching Riker command the Enterprise in this movie really makes we wish we had a Titan spinoff after TNG.
Too bad we never got one in live action anyway. But we did get a series of novels which continued the voyages.
When Riker ordered a Collision course I had a flashback moment in my mind to the Battle of Wolf 359 where Riker Tells Wesley Crusher A COLLISION COURSE ENSIGN , I wonder if the Baku were ever Assimilated at some point
most likely not since The Borg had no interest for the Baku and had other things to do than going after the Baku. Cannon Lore states the Borg had no use for them either or whatever utilities they could have seen of any value to the collective like the metaphasic healing properties and even if the Borg did come after them they would never have had any tacticle use for the Baku's metaphasic healing properties as a tool.
@@FLAME4564 there’s no canon mention of anything to do with the Borg assimilating the Ba’ku.
I hate when people do what you’ve done and lay something down as fact when it’s bloody not.
@@1978rharris Seriously now The borg at the time of the events of Star Trek Insurrection were either too occupied in the delta quadrent or did not have any ships to send thru the nearest part of their transwarp hub to the alpha quadrent and even if they did it would take them a certain amount of time thru Transwarp to reach the Bakku and seriously mate Ive done nothing wrong u idiot.
@@FLAME4564 For the same reason the Borg haven't assimilated the Federation- because they're on opposite sides of the galaxy.
Wharf and Data are two of my favorite people. And, this looked great!
Worf.
@@Thurgosh_OG yeah my mistake, "Worf, son of Mogh"
I don't remember it looking this good even in theaters, good work!
One of the few times the warp core ejection system, possibly the most important part of any warp capable vessel, actually works as intended.
I like it how there’s always fire in space 💜
But really, one of my favorite Star Trek movies besides Star Trek II, IV, and VI and Generations.
Pretty impressive upscaling!
I have downloaded a 720p and a 1080p remaster of DS9, they don't even look half as good as this!
@@DutchGuyMikewait until you see the 4K UHD version.
I saw this in the theater - This upscale is wonderful.
The only scene that still gets to me 26 years later is watching that admiral get his face stretched out. That was a bit too much for a 9 year old to watch in theaters.
The original VFX are still the cheapest-looking outside of Star Trek V, but you've done a marvelous job!
Imagine if Riker had used the Enterprise's superior maneuverability and her forward weapons... I don't really like the way they changed him in the movies. He was actually a pretty damn solid tactician in TNG. Generations and Insurrection all he did was run when he either was more than a match (Generations) or at least equal to his foe.
Exactly. What happened to that "commence rapid fire with all weapons on full" order he called for when they were fighting that Husnock warship years earlier? Granted, they were hampered quite a bit by the Briar Patch in "Insurrection," but last time I checked, the Briar Patch gases would've had little effect on a full spread of torps.
@@ShaolinShadowStroke they would need to spin the Enterprise around cancel her forward momentum and accelerate towards the Son’a with fouled up injectors whilst burning deuterium, all in all it was less risky to run until the Son’a used the isolytic burst at which point they had to go on the offensive because they didn’t have another warp core to seal any subspace tears
There is also a diplomatic reason here Riker doesn't want to fire on someone who is technically an ally of the federation
Dumping volatile gas infront of a ship would do nothing if the sonar didn't shoot a self inflicted destruction
@@jasonpeace1991 that too, he cain claim he was attacked but held back his response to merely releasing concentrated gas’s in their path that would have harmlessly dispersed had the Son’a not fired
@@jasonpeace1991 That makes a lot of sense. It's like when Worf took the Defiant into battle against the Lakota in DS9. You could tell he was pulling punches, which is almost unheard of for Klingons. He didn't want to injure fellow Starfleet officers if he could avoid it, even though the Defiant was being hammered early in the engagement. Captain Benteen didn't want to go all-out, either, which is why she balked when Admiral Leyton ordered her to switch from photon to quantum torpedoes.
Ok, what possessed that Son’a battlecruiser to shoot at the Metryon gas cloud the Enterprise dropped in front of it at 5:06 - 5:07?
They really weren’t thinking about how dangerous that stuff was, and it shows.
I guess they weren’t paying enough attention to their sensors to know not to fire.
Great job. I love this film. Riker is a boss
You can say about the TNG films what you will, but the space battle scenes look amazing. Even after all these years.
Honestly this is clipping together of scenes i was not expecting to find. Honestly majorly happy finding this. You manage to not only bring one of the major scenes, but also the ones after as well
Liked the joke at the end for the scene with Data and Worf, but...will say sadly did detract from if we just got the finishing of the beginning of that part of the credits song
The look she shot him at 4:30 after he said the line about shoving it down their throat still gets me after all these years
If Scotty was there, he’d probably react like this: “He can’t be serious!”
Worf gets the best line in the whole movie.
Tournel, with an unfortunate view of a Federation vessel getting bigger, fearing that the officer in charge of it is madder than he thought: "He wouldn't!"
Worf, knowing exactly how made Riker can be, having played cards against the man more than once: "Yes. He would."
Cold as ice.
Born in 67. Grew up in the 70s watching the TOS. I can still remember the anticipation when TNG aired in the mid 80s. Then it was like crazy in the 90s. All in the same decade, TNG, DS9 and Voyager. And even Enterprise was great too. I really miss the story arcs from those shows in those years. Seems like everything nowadays is so damn heavy.
Strange New Worlds is bringing a more lighthearted touch back to Star Trek.
@@mainstreetsaint36 I agree it is. I love that show.
4k ai gonna make old movies really crisp. love it.
I'll never understand the hate this movie gets. Even though I'm more of a TOS fan and hardly a ST:NG watcher, I absolutely loved this movie. I think it's one of the best in the series.
The 4K "AI" upscale looks gorgeous! WOW!
Let’s see if Paramount Home Entertainment does better.
Don't care about the rest of the movie but the enterprise flying across the weapon like that was badass
amazing job with the upscaling.
Every time I see the enterprise go up against a ship more powerful I think the reason it always makes it out of trouble is because of tactics and a smart captain and crew that comes up with out of the box unorthodox ways to beat the enemy and plot armor lol
That's so good , id pay to watch the entire movie in such quality , and the New Generation series too.

1:25 She says they're 18 minutes from the Son'a ships and then they are nearly hit by a torpedo... that was only a LITTLE ERROR.
I don't understand the hate for this movie.. Its truly underrated!
'Star Trek- Insurrection' wasn't bad, I wish that Rick Berman had just focused a little more on having 'this' movie and 'Nemesis' more involved in the Dominion War. I've always envisioned a hand-to-hand battle between thousands of Klingon warriors and the Jem' Hadar soldiers.
Insurrection was halfway through the Dominion War, Nemesis was three years after.
They addressed that factor. Enterprise was needed for diplomatic envoy purposes to meet up new alliances during the war - plays dead center into Picard's proven ability as a diplomat. Enterprise was a high-brow ship, not one meant for the working class that were sent on missions in the war with high probability of never returning.
A DS9 movie was sorely missed. Imagine a feature length finishing up the Dominion War instead of...what we got.
This was the Enterprise participating in the Dominion War though.
KLINGON WARRIORS:
"TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE!"
JEM'HADAR SOLDIERS:
"VICTORY IS LIFE!"
3:44 The Starship U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701E handling that warp core explosion like The Starship U.S.S. Excelsior NCC-2000 did when she rode the wave after the Klingon Khitomer Moon Explosion in StarTrek 6:The Undiscovered Country.
Both classes of vessel were designed to withstand blasts of that magnitude.
Thank you Jerry Goldsmith for providing such amazing Star Trek music.

Saw this movie in the cinema when it came out. Imagine my chagrin when I later found out that it was 'bad movie' and I should, in fact, not have enjoyed it after all.
I know. I’ve been told many times that it was a bad movie, and that I did not in fact enjoy it.

Why? 😂
*Spoilers* In the first edition hardback novel of the film, written by J.M Dillard, and in the cinema test screening, Ruafu originally jumped into the collector pod and it launched up into the planet's rings. He became younger and younger until nothing. The actor whom played 'Young Ruafu' is written in the end credit.
4K looks phenominal!
The only thing missing from the TNG era shows and movies is the silver handles. The original show had them and the kelvin timeline movies had them. Every time the captain tells you to go to warp, the helmsman would push one of those handles forward. The handle's would like you know....give you the feel of the ship.
The aesthetic created by Mike Okuda for everything from TNG onwards was for smooth, touch sensitive surfaces that can be reconfigured to the users preference.
So it’s not like you can miss it. The tech just moved on from what you like.
Did they? I don’t remember that.
Those are standard polished chrome throttle quads, fresh from your friendly marine supply dealership.
@@Shadowkey392 No, the original series didn't have them.
No TOS did not have those throttles to go to warp, that was only in the JJ Ambrams movies, I'm assuming because JJ is a Star Wars fan and in Star Wars to go to hyperspace you move a throttle. In TOS it was usually controlled by button presses from the helm, navigation, or engineering; kind of changed based on whoever wrote the episode really. What you might be thinking of was for a brief period in the original pilot and sometimes in the first season where there were the grey viewers that looked like lamps at the various stations.
As I was typing this though I just remembered the only time in the prime universe that Enterprise had a throttle was The Motion Picture, during the scenes in the first half of the movie Sulu uses a throttle to very gradually go to warp.
Fun fact, the actor who played the Son'a-Officer saying "He wouldn't!" was Joseph Ruskin. He guest-starred in episodes of four of the five Original Trek Series: He was Galt in TOS "The Gamesters of Triskelion", Tumek in DS9 "The House of Quark" and "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places", a Cardassian Informant DS9 "Improbable Cause", a Vulcan in VOY "Gravity" and a Suliban in ENT "Broken Bow"

Never understood why the captains yacht has the same registry when its a seperate vessel and what happened to the 5 spare warp cores
It’s part of the ship, it isn’t really that different from a saucer separation or a multi vector assault mode. Each part is still part of the same ship even if acting independently so wouldn’t have a different registry.
As for spare warp cores, I know the design for the Intrepid included a spare that clearly Voyager had it being installed Tuesday but never seen indications the Sovereign had spares.
