Looks amazing! I absolutely love TMP. V'Ger is one of the few ships that gives me a feeling of foreignness, of the unknown; it _feels_ alien. I remember when I was a little kid, I didn't even know there was an actual ship inside that cloud; V'Ger was like a universe of its own.
So glad we now have an actual miniature.
That was definitely one of the most effective parts of the movie to me as well
Watch Star Trek: TMP The Robert Wise Edition where the film was recut and refined with completed visuals with how it was suppose to be when he was done with the film and you’ll see the V’Ger ship approach Earth
Yeah, I've seen that cut. I don't think it was around when I was little, though.
JurassicKaiju14 This cut was done by Robert Wise himself along with other visual specialists back in 2002 to complete the movie because when it was released in ‘79, Paramount wouldn’t let him finish it because they were already past the studio deadline and would have taken another 5 months.. A lot of incomplete visuals or scenes never got polished til Paramount got inspired by George Lucas re-done versions of the Star Wars trilogy. The TMP Wise Edition wound up being the precursor to the reworked visuals for the remastered TOS episodes not long after. Most people don’t know this version is out which was before the rise of blu-Ray when HD was still prominent. Paramount has yet to give it a blu-ray release but you can get it from Amazon it EBay. I have 2 copies. Some fans, including me are hoping Paramount is smart enough to see it re-released for its 40th anniversary in theaters coming December
It’s even in Star Trek Online but its BADLY misrepresented in size
It's a nice model of a ship that is barely visible on screen!
Don´t forget STTMP directors edition.;-)
Great video and beautiful model. Star Trek The Motion Picture is my favorite Star Trek movie by a wide margin, though I totally understand why some people have a problem with it. In fact I remember being vaguely disappointed by it when I first saw it in the theater back in 1979. The movie however just gets better and better in my estimation. If the story doesn't interest you I'd recommend watching it purely as a sensory experience. The visual effects, the production design and the incredible score work on their own as pure eye & ear candy.
If nothing else TMP is a nice change of pace from the "revenge-obsessed madman with a super-weapon/shoot-em-up" plot that we've seen in roughly half of the Trek movies. Yes, there are echoes of that in TMP and as people inevitably point out, the movie is a thematic mashup of "The Changeling", "The Doomsday Machine", The Corbomite Maneuver" and "The Immunity Syndrome", to name a few. The scale of it, though, coupled with the ambition of it and the V'Ger storyline that parallels Spock's character arc, make it a worthy variation on a theme, IMO.
It's also nothing short of miraculous that after the success of Star Wars, that TMP ended up as being about as anti-Star Wars as you can get. In the entire movie the Enterprise fires its weapons once and that's to destroy an asteroid. Contrast that with the last few Trek movies that are Star Wars movies with a Star Trek skin, with its cute but glib lip/fan service paid to Trek iconography, but with little of the real Trek's heart, brains & courage.
TMP is criminally under-appreciated by many modern day Trek fans and deserves a reappraisal.If you get the chance I strongly recommend watching it on the big screen when it's re-released in theaters next month.
The Motion Picture is my favourite Star Trek film. The only one about exploration. Even if it's where Nomad has gone before.
@trha2222 Thank you
It was also a great movie to fall asleep with
I see what you did there. Thought it was cool that TNG retconned that Voyager 6 reached the Borg homeworld, and it was they who programmed it to fulfill its original programming.
@@Spacejockey426 that's nonsense.
I saw that!
That's the most beautiful lightsaber I ever saw!!
I can't unsee that now 🤣
That ship was so big it took the whole movie to make it inside.
The Enterprise approached it from behind traveled down its back., then went in through the front door to get in. How ever with this model you can see how it was done. I saw this movie in 1979 .
Looks like a Babylon 5 ship. And i love TMP.
Id like to see how the Vorlons would deal with V'ger. All bets are off.
@@ChimpingBulldog they’d be patterned for data storage.
When I see V’Ger like that it reminds me like some tower Morgoth or Sauron would build or mace they would wield.The TMP is my favorite science fiction movie, it is one beautiful movie and very unique in the series and one that mede me search for grand cerebral sci fi movies. My dream is to see Directors Edition remastered and prepared for big screen, I’ve never seen it on big screen, but I would like to see it in great Hollywood cinema, where it belongs. I use to watch the concept art for hours while playing TMP music in background , even in moment of inspiration i made a sketch of combination of Ralph McQuaries Enterprise and V’Ger flyover (rather poor rendering).
Thank you for sharing this model and your model collection! LLAP.
TMP is my favorite Trek movie. Love to get lost in it for almost 2 1/2 hours. Nice job friend!
Ah, TMP. One of the most underrated Star Trek films. I love the mystery surrounding V'ger's origins. I hate any theory which suggests it was created by the Borg, or that it was responsible for creating the Borg. It's true origin is something I wish they would explore in a future series.
Or even not at all! But yeah, it’s a peculiarity of the nerd genus that we want to relate everything to everything else. Sadly making what could be a vast mysterious universe into something like a suburb where everyone is in everyone else’s business!
"Its true origin..." No apostrophe.
I love the MP, I saw it at the movie theater when I was a little kid and will still watch it now. I liked how it was very differnt, no big space battles, just exploring, investigating, using their intellect instead of brute force. The music for the movie was well done too.
V'ger's ship was really cool, I liked how they showed the Enterprise next to Vger to show it's size. Before you opened the box I was hoping they put a model of the Enterprise to go along with Vger. Chuckle, it would be toooo small for this model.
How big would the Star Destroyer from Star Wars look compared to Vger?
@@scotthayes4135 SSD or ISD? Hmmmm good qustion? I'm sure they're somewhat smaller than Viger???
I saw the movie in the theater as a kid and still watch it today. I never realized that VGer was anything but a cloud in space. Thank for bringing me a visual representation of it!
As a kid, I had no concept that the Enterprise was flying over a massive ship after it penetrated the cloud. I just thought of it as one insanely long trip through an energy cloud. Later on, I realized that the energy cloud phase was comparatively short.
In the movie the Enterprise approached Vger from the back before flying over it.
Ya, later on I watched it again when I was older and realized that.
Even after watching the movie a dozen times since childhood, I had no idea what V'Ger looked like in total until The Director's Edition came out in 2001. They had a cross section of the ship on screen once it's in Earth orbit, but I couldn't really piece together the bits and pieces that appeared on screen. Very cool to see it in CG then and in solid form now!
I actually appreciate that, it really drives home the inhuman scale of the thing. Hull details were mountains!
I love TMP, but I do have some issues with it. I think the story focuses too much on Decker and Ilia and not enough on our main Star Trek cast, and there are some slow moments in the movie, however, overall I did really like it, and I think it's one of the few movies in the franchise that captures the true essence of Star Trek. And of course, it's one of the most visually striking out of the lot. By the end of the film, I'm always left satisfied.
Great model, apart from the join line!
And I *LOVE* TMP!! Sad that a film that takes time to develop it's story and characters is branded "boring". I first saw it on VHS in the early 80's and, full disclosure, considered it a little 'slow'. However, in my defence I was only ten at the time; now as an adult I appreciate the subtlety & intelligence of the film. It's weird actually: People clamour for "more of a spirit of exploration" in Disco, yet TMP and "The Final Frontier" (another film I love) are pilloried, even by fans, despite those being the ones that most embrace the philosophy of the show.
Interesting note in that magazine. The energy field being 82AUs in diameter is listed in the magazine as in the original theatrical release, but the distance in kilometers listed next to it is 300 million kilometers which is the 2AUs in diameter from the director's cut.
1...4...5...6 are my favs for Star Trek movies. I thought STTMP was a magical movie for me. Let alone the bench mark that Star Trek was back!!!
Love The Motion Picture, especially the Director's Cut. And I love the look of V'Ger. Very, very nice model. I want one now.
This is so cool, I've never been able to quite piece together what V'GER really looked like just from watching the movie
I remember vaguely the story of v'ger but recall that it was a fascinating one about the voyager spacecraft traveling into the far reaches of space, being found and greatly enhanced with its own artificial intelligence by another highly advanced A.I. civilization.
Fascinating indeed.
Basically V'ger is our first 23rd century encounter with the borg. It's the same dreadnought design we see in Voyager
I may have to buy this. V'ger is my favourite antagonist in Star Trek.
I like this model seeing it, it reminds me of some of the scenes as the Enterprise flies over V'Ger. Have to say that TMP is one of my favourite films and generally is my go to film, even though it's not at the top of my list.
I've NEVER seen the ship like this before. Had NO idea it looked like this.
*EDIT*
_Don't suppose they included an Enterprise miniature to give us some sense of scale?_
V'Ger is gigantic. If they made an Enterprise to scale the only way you could see it would be under a microscope.
@@SurlyInsomniac And? It'd still make the point. 8)
soon as you got it on the stand i yelled THANK GOD HES NOT SHAKING IT AROUND ANYMORE
I love TMP & love the V'ger ship! ❤️
ordered one of these 3 weeks ago and i'm getting it tomorrow. so excited to add V'ger to my collection
First model I’ve ever seen that’s 1:50000000000000 scale
Vger is my favourite trek antagonist. Love the concept and execution. It blew my mind when i first saw TMP aged about 7. It was pretty scary as well (like the whale probe).
Now, who's bigger? V"ger, or the whale probe?, V"ger, 2272. Whale probe 2286. And after that. Earth wasn't bothered again until the Borg in the 24th century.
Imagine Nero's ship absorbed by the V'ger cloud. It would take about an hour at least.
For a second I thought that was the Unimatrix Command Vessel from Star Trek Online... the design of the Command Ship is too similar to V'ger to be a coincidence
Ikr
Yeah they even play the V'ger blaster beam chord when the unimatrix command vessel shows up in Star Trek Online, it's an intentional homage
V'ger is still one of the most INTIMIDATING and atmospheric ships... EVER.
So finally I know what the thing looks like. Had no idea.
Thanks for showcasing this! I just ordered mine 😁
Thanks for posting. Loved TMP. Lots of people said it was all special effects. I can only say, they don;t know Star Trek. Would be nice if there was some type of star ship size comparison chart. Reminds me of a whale.
Also, would be nice if Trek would start thinking along the lines of massive ships like this. Trek needs to go Extra-galactic.
1979, V'ger cloud was 82 AU's in diameter.
2000 Director's Edition, cloud scale down to 2 AU's.
I would love to get this V'ger miniature
I loved TMP as a kid. Love it to this day. Got to see it opening night in 1979. Loved watching Star Trek reruns on TV, and then my hopes came to fruition with TMP. This film has the best opening moments of any Trek film. Features my favorite version of the photon torpedo effect, and my favorite versions of the Enterprise and the K't'inga class Klingon battlecruiser.
To me, V'ger was mind blowing... from the cloud, to traversing the alien ship itself, to getting down to just what V'ger actually was.
It would have been nice if they would have added a tiny in scale Enterprise to go along with it.
You missed it? It was that speck of dust in the bottom of the box;)
I was happy Star Trek Online used V'Ger as the basis for the Borg command ships. I have always loved Star Trek TMP and the notion of what Decker's command might have been. Definitely reminds me of Babylon 5 too.
Cool. Dont think i have ever seen imagines of V'ger ship before.
Very nice details and paintjob for that one
And good magazine informations
I've always liked the first film. Saw it when I was little like most people commenting here. I really think these ships should have lighting inside. They lose some of their depth and luster without lights.
If anyone from Eaglemoss is reading this message, GET YOUR FRAKKING FACTS STRAIGHT: Industrial Light and Magic HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH TMP! It was a joint effort between Apogee (John Dykstra) and Entertainment Effects Group (Douglas Trumbull).
The thing is that we didn't see it, because it had evolved so far beyond the original Voyager. That's why V'ger was so interesting. We didn't see it, the mystery of what was it. The mystery was well conceived
Loved TMG. Saw it when I was 6, fell asleep while watching it when my Dad took me. Took my Dad at the 40th anniversary showing, and he fell asleep. :P
Looks like what a Species 8472 mothership might look like..
Sort of, yes.
But seeing this, I now know where Star Trek Online got the design ideas for their Borg Unimatrix Ships from...
It's my second favorite Star Trek film, just after the second one (due to Ricardo Montalban nailing the role! :)). You could see the Acid at work, something current day movies miss :P. Was born far too late to ever see it in the cinema though :(.
don't show my sister, she will not see this as a ship
Is it for the reason I think? Or am I being....weird???
It does look like a dong.
Manuel “Where No Man Has Gone Before”?
Almost the same as the Borg's Unimatrixes on STO. Same plasma projectiles that dematerializes ships instantly. Just a couple details that would make that model truly great is of it being maybe twice that size and a teeny tiny representation of Enterprise in front of the maw of that thing.
What a day. 20 years old, and up until then all we had of Gene's dream was the 3 season TV series. The movie blew us away. Who could have imagined what was to follow.
Nice detail but they missed the huge cam-wheels that open and close the maw on the front, otherwise it's a good likeness. Even though you don't see the ship in the theatrical cut it's revealed in the Director's edition. The magazine looks like it's full of detail and great images.
The front of the ship is the V'GER Maw, from what I recall of the movie. The Enterprise is eventually taken in through the overlapped petal-like diaphragm aperture of the Maw by tractor beam and there, comes face to face with the fictional Voyager-6, somewhere inside. It wasn't until Bob Wise sanctioned the Director's version that the solidity and symmetrical nature of the alien vessel became crystallised. As some here have said, TMP never gave the audience a clear look at it and that appears to have been what was initially intended by the film-makers, in order that it's apparent solidity was enmeshed in the mind of the audience with the amorphous exterior cloud for the ultimate mystery look.
All in all, the actual vessel was undoubtedly highlighted latterly to induce a quick buck from out of the fan zone. I've always liked the direction Wise took for TMP. He was truly one of the Great American post WWII directors. I sometimes mentally link TMP with The Day The Earth Stood Still, where the alien emissary Klaatu with his sidekick, Gort, came to Earth to warn it's population from undertaking any off-world aggressive expansionism or risk swift and complete destruction from the Federation Of Planets he represented.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen V’Ger like this. Cool!
The dimensions given there are a little misleading. The cloud was 82 (or 2, according to the director’s cut) AUs in diameter; the ship itself was “only” 70km long.
He said 'not this part'.
Max West I was talking about what it says in the magazine, not what he said.
I don't know why, but Nero's ship reminds me of V'Ger if the front could open up.
jeez I always thought glowing section of Vger when the Enterprise first sees it was the FRONT!!
This reminds me of a ship that the covenant in halo would have
I saw the movie at the cinema when it was first released, plus I have the theatrical version on Blu Ray and the Director's Edition on DVD. Probably one of my least favourite of the films. The endless reaction shots used as fillers for the lack of dialogue and action shots is the main killer for me. The Director's Edition does a much better job of it, although they still use most of the same reaction shots, but in different parts of the movie. My son is on the Autism Spectrum and has just discovered the Star Trek movies. He's currently in the process of creating a mash up of all the movies on his iPad using Nintendo characters which he calls Smash Trek, and it really, really highlights how much of the first film is pure reaction shots, with lots of shots of the Nintendo Characters doing nothing but looking at you while the soundtrack plays. If anyone's interested, he's still in the middle of making the first movie mash-up and has a playlist of what he's done so far here: th-cam.com/video/2NK_XcZqd-A/w-d-xo.html
Please don't get into the comments and say horrible things to destroy him. As I mentioned, he is on the Autism Spectrum and is doing this purely for his own enjoyment using nothing but his iPad and an app called Puppet Pals, which lets him move images about on the screen with his fingers. He's planning on doing all the movies from 1 to 10 at this stage, so it's going to keep him busy for a while. I'm just blown away at how he can get the timing down so perfect with all the different scenes and special effects involved. So I am biassed, but I do prefer his take on it all, purely because it's a bit of a chuckle in places. Be nice please. He means no harm to anyone. :)
If you put this under black light I believe it will come to life, looking as if they did in the film, with the cloud effects details and all.
I loved TMP when I first saw it, It’s a big Xmas movie for me. I saw it after I saw Star Wars and I loved the contrast between the two franchises. The sense of scale is perfectly communicated. And I have always enjoyed the story, even if it’s sluggish in sections.
It's a light year long. That's big. Something like that would disrupt the orbits of the planets in any star system it went through due to mass and gravity.
one of my favorite Eaglemoss offerings...think they did a really nice job on this one...
Its certainly well crafted and finished, i would probably not buy it. there is no real screen presents in this form, so for me there is little connection with it. I am however glade i had a chance to see it, Thanks again
The ship is featured in full in this form in Robert Wise's Director's Cut released on DVD back in 2001. Sadly it has not seen a re-release since nor a Blu-ray release. The Director's Cut is better than the 1979 theatrical cut and the slow 1983 extended cut. I highly recommend checking it out.
@@jerobriggs6861 It would be interesting to see its scale on screen, i will keep my eyes open for a copy. Thanks Jero
Amazing, always wanted to know the shape of V'Ger.
The Enterprise passed over the probe from behind up over it then went through the front " door". Look over the probe model and you can make out the path shown in the movie.
Originally titled "In Thy Image" (much better title) the movie was wonderful and doesn't get the credit it deserves.
It would have been nice to have an Enterprise to scale included with the V'Ger model...but sadly, V'Ger is so gigantic that the Enterprise would be the size of a third of a grain of sand. Hard to get detail on something that miniscule...
It would be cool if there was a Enterprise to scale flying over V´ger just to show how massive it is.
I do like the Veger ship,,I would really like to see some company do ships that are in scale with each other,,, I've got some that's in scale but it takes alot of looking for them because no one does a scale set.
It looks likes something out of seaquest.
Wish Eagle Moss put this amount of quality and time into the Derelict painting for the *Alien* model.
It looks like something the Borg would make .!
Is it cannon that V'ger and the borg are somehow related? I love Sid Meads work. I have models of some of his other stuff. I am sorry, but the eaglemoss V'ger looks like....well..it looks like a 'personal' device.
According to Star Trek Legacy, V'ger makes the Borg. If it's never retconned, launching the Voyager probes is one of the biggest historical moments in Star Trek.
No it's not canon. It was only a theory. Many non-canon sources, such as novels and video games, have tried to tie them together, but they are non-canon. Which is a good thing because I was never satisfied with any of those connections. I have my own theories as to how V'ger relates to the Borg using only canon sources...
www.deviantart.com/nihilus-shadow/art/The-Origin-of-V-ger-and-Encountering-the-Borg-794621459
NiK Volt Technically it’s not, but at this point even official sources don’t care about canon. So, it’s really whatever you want it to be. To me, the connection is.
Jason Schlierman That’s bs, canon gets retconned as it always has but that doesn’t mean the producers don’t care about it. And it certainly doesn’t mean it’s whatever you want it to be.
DrewLSsix I want the borg to have been built by Darth Vader. So there!
I was born in 73' so by the time TMP came out we had just gotten cable TV and I watched every single time it was on, its the only one that holds true to the "Weirdness Feel" of the original series...it comes in only 2nd place to TWOK for me.
Pretty sure I said in your DSC Klingon cleave ship vid that it looked phallic and Geiger influenced, same could be said of V'GER!
Well, both Alien & STTMP came out (pardon the pun) in 1979.
This model should have been far-and-away bigger! If you figure the FASA Star Trek Mini's were in 1/3125 Scale, so should this have been!
You'd need a truck lot to store it, as it would be a semi with two full trailers long.
@@GypsyComet :
This is not a problem! *_:D_*
Ha! I never even knew V'ger was symetrical!
Very interesting the magazine references the Klingon ships Spock "should" have seen on his journey or Spock Walk. I've often read, there was talk of having one or more of those ships become active and attack Enterprise. Which I think would have been awesome. I LOVE The Motion Picture. But feel it needed some more TOS Trek in it, like some red shirt / security deaths, and certainly some phaser fire. Not even a single phaser fired until Terrell kills the Regula One scientist in TWOK. Come on people.
TMP was a good story that even the Director said was handled wrong he said that he made a movie about the ship and not the crew something he fix, as much as he could, with the Director's cut witch was a vast improvement over the theatrical cut. I have both versions and almost never watch the theatrical cut
I love this giant, Lovecraftian monster
This is mental. I watched another guy review this today. But he uploaded it in March. Was thinking how similar his reviews were to yours.
Finally! V'GER was a wonderful design by Syd Mead!
Isn't this the same ship used by the Borg on Star Trek online? Or at least a similar model for it?
It looks like an undine cruiser.
Nice ship! I look forward to you review of the planet killer.
I noticed it looks like a Vorlon concept of Babylon 5! 🤔
Looks ok, but hate the fact it has a line for assembling between the bow and the mid section. As it's probably hollow they could have added some led's.
If I'm correct the USS Enterprises entered V'ger from the side and not the front which I think is a deflector array.
V'Ger is never seen in full view in the movie, but watching the movie I can tell it is 6 sided. Hexagonal in shape.
The Enterprise 1701 should be a lot smaller in comparison to V'Ger, In TMP the Enterprise was like an ant compared to a human. I do like the Enterprise model you have, but the two models together are not to the correct scale.
To get a idea of scale hold this ship out at arms length and that is how the ship looks one day away at full impulse.
I own it!It's absolutely beautiful!
Wow very accurate to the movie I like it
OMG 82 AU!! Eye yai yai.
Akula Class
Edit: nice model, good detail, great review, as always. =)
Ok, I will say it.......I love The Motion Picture. I saw it in its first run. And I love the additions in the directors cut. By the way, I think you have the probe the wrong way around. I’m pretty sure the gold bit is supposed to be the front, pretty sure it’s the first part of the probe the Enterprise sees.
The Vger probe is supposed to be about 6 miles long.
Okay... The rectangular fins on the back of the ship should align with the peaks, not the valleys. Compare to actually photos in magazine. And that botched circumcision scar/connection seam is unforgivable.
I can’t wait to get this. V’ger.
Really interesting video. Thanks.
Was the borg created after decker joined Vger or did the borg allready have there hands in the creation of this ship for voyager probe
The V'Ger model is beautiful. I am not a fan of the Motion Picture, but I think it is time a see it again with new eyes.
Ian Samuels see the new (ish) directors cut, it fills in some of the details, and CGI is used to polish off some of the shots. Also you get to see V’Ger in this form at the end. Well worth watching.
Would have been neat if there was a tiny Enterprise to go with it.
Paul A Burrows Extremely tiny.
Just put a white paint on the tip of a pin and dab it.
