Yes much simpler time. Now excuse me. I have a movie to re watch for the … honestly don’t know how many times I have seen this movie but I am sure once more won’t hurt a thing

Nice to see that you took on the "full impulse" order and let the ship go quick through the dock. Really fits the reaction of that one guy in the observation lounge.
@@rightofcenter1977 I agree that .25 impulse is definitely too fast for that enclosed structure. TBH, though, that whole scene is a bit wonky no matter what. Spock asks if Saavik has ever piloted a ship out of spacedock, but said piloting consists of sitting in the captain's chair and giving a couple of orders. It seems as though the hard part is on the helmsman (unless you do something embarrassing like forget to order release of the docking clamps (or forget to release the parking brake like Sulu does in the Kelvin timeline)). Ironically, Saavik should have the training to actually pilot the Enterprise out of the spacedock. Based on everything we've seen about Starfleet Academy training, we can assume that she is versed in the fundamentals of piloting smaller craft and has sufficient proficiency to take the helm of the Enterprise in an emergency or on an off shift.
I agree that the ordered speed while leaving spacedock is very well mirrored in this cut. And yet it bugs me to see the Enterprise rush out of the dock, because the beauty of the scene lies in seeing the ship flying by in a more majestic way. It's (as far as I remember) the first scene of the movie in which the Enterprise is shown, so it's kind of a re-introduction to the Big E. And that is something that should be celebrated and not be rushed for accuracy's sake.
1/4 impulse is 1,852 kilometers per second (at least in TNG) - the space dock is about 4 kilometers wide. So they should have left space dock in around 2 milliseconds.
Love how fast it blows by that big viewing window. Now it makes sense why Spacedock doesn't want anything above "thrusters only" when inside. th-cam.com/video/X3x-lIvcKr8/w-d-xo.html
That and given the supposed speed of impulse drive, even the few seconds it uses it from start to door, would make spacedock about 150x the size if the Earth😂
@@malcolmpaterson5881 As Impulse power is an ion drive and in the time of the movies powered by the warp engines, not by their own fusion reactor, the ship needs much more time to get to their maximum possible speed. By the way 1/4 impulse power doesn't mean 1/16th of light speed. It measn that the impulse engines run on 1/4 of their potential power. The 1/4 lightspeed cap they have is not "full impulse power", it's an arbitrary border, the helm just don't accelerated to more than 1/4th of light speed in einstein space to avoid too much time diletation problems. In fact, the Voyager for example could go up to 0,92c just with impulse drives, that's the power their fusion reactors had. 1,0 is of course not possible without a warp field, as with impulse 0,92c would need all the power any fusion reaction could ever provide, as we all know from Einstein the nearer you come to the light speed barrier in normal space, the more energy you need to accelerate. You would need more energy than there is in the universe to get to 1c without a warp bubble.

So to cut the long talk short: No, there is no supposed speed of impulse power. Just an arbitrary gap and how fast an impulse engine reaches that speed, depends on their power source.
It really hammers it out of space dock there. I appreciate the compositing and maintaining continuity with III, but the slower, lingering, graceful exit fits the mood better. You'd think they were trying to skip out on a cheque they leave so quickly in this edit.
If you remember Star Trek 6 they left space dock at 1/4 impulse and it was considered blasting out. They used the same speed here so they get that effect.
Sure, it might fit the mood, but that's not what Saavik ordered. Ramping up to 0.25c is indeed hammering. Leaping and bounding in fact. Odd for a girl who was always quoting regulations, but there you are.
Thrusters only in space dock! Now I understand that line, it didn't really fit when you are pulling out of basically a metal cage. But here, dang that's like wreckless driving or something. Definitely against regulations.
I don't think Bones is sharing with anyone but the admiral. I'd like to believe that quaaludes either have come back in the 23rd century or Bone has a line on a private chemist
Picturing Kirk and Bones taking a Fear & Loathing trip in the 23rd century now. The pair of them doing discrete bumps of K while Saavik guns it out of Space dock. Spock is asking the admiral about his sniffling. Sulu's eager for his next break so he can try to catch up with the pair of em. "We were somewhere outside of the Mutara sector when the drugs began to take hold.." Khan is definitely the last person you'd want a left field encounter from after bones haphazardly fed you a sheet of acid... bat country indeed! (thanks for the day dream. I'm potentially about to lose some time to a fan fiction rabbit hole)
Remember the scene on Star Trek 6, where Valaris is questioning about impulse engines in space dock, and Kirk has the ship sail out of the space dock?. Well originally it was supposed to be Saavik in # 6. And the scene was supposed to be Kirk getting back at her for the scene from TWOK. But Saavik was replaced in # 6, so the scene kind of lost its charm. Kirk's revenge for Saavik scaring the hell out of him back in 2285 never happened. Remember she destroyed the Enterprise in the training room now she was piloting the real thing. " Jim, you need a tranquilizer ?" " no, nnnnnoo, ....ok, bones what do you got ?."
They would have seen it in TWOK as one does not simply build a class prototype in the time it took the movie to play out. When TSFS was made they had to do the excelsior intro the way they did to account for how the TWOK dock scene played out.
@@kenm3245 In the novelization there's some dialogue about Sulu getting command of Excelsior. That's why in the film Kirk thanks Sulu for tagging along (the "i don't think these kids can steer" line). If I remember right he's along for the training cruiser while waiting to be formally assigned to Excelsior.
@@cyberchaplain I believe the dialogue between Kirk and Sulu went something along the lines of "I cut your orders myself, the Excelsior will be your ship" . I think I read that in a DC graphic novel that showed the period between Star Trek V and Star Trek VI, the early days of Sulu's command.
2 seconds after leaving spacedock doors the enterprise gets grabbed in a tractor beam "Whoa there 1701, cool your jets. The fuck you think you're doing clearing my spacedock at that speed? Your mission is scrubbed. Hope you're ready for 3 weeks of retraining and paperwork."
Really, there should be tractor beams maneuvering the ships around inside the space station, but storing the ships within the station was always a dumb idea anyway. What a waste of station space. DS9 had the right idea. Dock the ships to the exterior of the station.
"Mr Sulu..'Indulge' yourself"......."Aye..Sir..setting course for Palm Springs..with shore leave stops in West Hollywood, Silver Lake, Santa Monica and SD Hillcrest, Sir"
One slight critique: In Star Trek III, it's clear that the crew outside of Adm. Kirk was seeing the Excelsior for the first time, so it probably shouldn't be seen here.
Almost shed a tear. What a beautiful star ship design. By far my fave iteration of the Enterprise. I even built a full scale fully working Enterprise on minecraft with 200+ mods. XD
Never understood what Kirk was so nervous about when they left space dock…..It was literally going straight but now with this Fix it makes way more sense that he would be very tense. Great job!🎉
I imagine the dialogue was written before thought was given to the onscreen SFX, and the choice made to go for the cheapskate option and reuse footage from ST:TMP.
I don't know if I've ever written it here, but it's worth all the praise every time I write it again, because you've done an exceptional job! the Enterprise's movement on the dock, the camera shots, even why 1/4 thrust is fast for a space dock, you've thought of everything, and the sequence is magnificent! Hopefully one day we can see it on the big screen! congratulations from a brazilian fan!
Nick this is truly fantastic work! I wish my uncle, Gary Nardino were still around so we could’ve seen this. He was in charge of all things Star Trek at Paramount from 1978-1984. Everything about Star Trek II WAS OF COURSE, FIX THE MISTAKES OF THE MOTION PICTURE AND REALLY GET STAR TREK BACK ON COURSE. One of the ways they saved money was to get ILM to do all the special effects. If they had done it, in-house would’ve been twice as much and probably a quarter as good. But the work you did here was absolutely excellent. You should be very proud of. I thank you for taking the time to doing this.
One thing that always jarred with me, was the docking scene. It was originally from the “motion picture”, and was reused for “The wrath of Khan”. Whilst it was docking for the port torpedo bay, you can clearly see it was docking for the port side engineering.
Well, the Engineering Deck is more along the Dorsal line of the hull, a few decks up. I did think it was funny they docked at the Cargo Bay airlock and got out at the Torpedo Bay ! 🤣. But they got it right in TMP because it was Made for that placement. And, why does the Torpedo Bay have two airlocks anyway ? 🤔
Wrath of Khan has been my favorite movie all my adult life. Before that, it was Search for Spock. I love this! This fits so much better than reusing the same footage from Motion Picture. Well done!
That one lone guy in the station who watches the ship go by; looks just like the same guy who does the same thing when Kirk steals the Enterprise in the next movie. I wonder what he was thinking during both scenes.
Very well done. The new material merged seamlessly with the original film. In my opinion, the wide shots worked a little better than the original closeups. It's amazing how far VFX have come along, and how much they accomplished with so little back in the 20th century.
I think the full impulse should have been slowed since the order was 1/4 and allowed a more dramatic exit to spacedock. Still, overall a brilliant redo of an iconic scene from my childhood.
That's a possibility. There are more seasons of Lower Decks, Picard, and Discovery. We're also supposed to get "Strange new worlds" a series featuring the Enterprise with Pike and Spock, so after "The Cage" maybe? I'd love to see a series with Saavik as Captain set after the Voyage Home possibly. With the long Vulcan life span, Robin Curtis could totally reprise the role in Picard Season 2, voice the role if she appears on Lower Decks, or if they pick up any other stories in the TNG/DS9/VOY/LD time frame. For a while I've wanted to a series with Sulu captaining the Excelsior. Saavik would be a fun addition to that crew. We don't have too much experience with 2 vulcans on a crew. Would Saavik get along with Tuvok? Hilliard, if you got your wish, what ship would she be captaining?
Its been very long since I last saw the movie. I already thought it to be a great work of remastering but I did not realise that you even created the entire spacedock setting. Thats impressive work 👏
Very well done, Nick. Brighter and more correct colors. Great sound. Evidently , you love the only uncredited cast member, the Enterprise, as much as I. Very much appreciated.
MAGNIFICENT NEW EDIT!!! Thanks SO MUCH for this!! Bravo!! Well Done!! This looks EVEN BETTER than the 2006-08 remastering of the entire TOS!!!First saw this movie in Summer 1982 just after Army Basic Training.Took my teenage son to see the theater re-release 35th anniversary in 2017!! Probably THE BEST MOVIE of the entire Movie Series!!
This just reinforces how important the DP UNITY edit was. Not only does it predate this , but it actually did fix many things. There's very little here that can be taken seriously.
It is indeed, But, as Kirk would say " Risk is their business". Personally, I can't think of anything more risky (or embarrassing) than hitting the spacedock doors on the way out. Believe thngs like that qualify for the galaxywide Ship Deck Klutz Award.
The only problem I have is that Star Flee regulations clearly state that while at Starbase never use anything but maneuvering thrusters. Never ever use impulse engines.
Excellent improvement in scenes and pace of space dock ship movements. So much more energetic than the slower camera movements from 80s. Loved watching this!
@@76TomD Audio's ok in that link, and there's no reason you couldn't put the audio back in, even with the cut to the exterior shot, the video could return in time to match lip-synch.
I think the big reason not to add it in was for STIII, Excelsior was to be a prototype transwarp ship and they wouldn't have given command to a newly minted captain. Even one with such a record as Sulu's. I think any other ship it would've been fine but not Excelsior.
That was a triumphantly, fitting way to begin the best ever Star Trek movie. And the music made it even more memorable. But it would also be one of the last times we’d see this particular Enterprise in such mint condition. It wasn’t long before Khan would batter the smithereens out of it and then in the next movie, it’d be gone forever 😢.
I like the way things can be changed so easy now days, But the speeded up bits did look a bit odd and that let it down for me but still good work you did on it.
Hi Nick, That's really fantastic, what you have done makes much more sense. If I had one criticism as the Enterprise passes the window it seemed a little jerky almost too fast, any chance of slowing it down a tad. Bear in mind I have no idea where to even start with this sort of thing or how difficult it would be to do what you have done.
@@Username3141519 She's on 1/4 impulse power. The speed is perfect. In the theatrical cut, she was too slow. I'm not sure how long it takes for a starship to reach full velocity from a stop but it would seem to me it should be instantaneous.
Great work Nick - shame they didn't have the budget in 1981/2 to put it in themselves Sorry I have just one niggle - they wouldn't be coming through the main doors of Spacedock with a la'al shuttle pod like that - they'd beam to Spacedock & take the shuttle pod from an airlock to the Enterprise - see end of Star Trek 4. It was brilliant video nevertheless. Great work
Excellent, though to be nit-picky some of the scenes didn't have smooth transitions. For instance once the Enterprise was outside the dock she turned and flew beneath the main area but the next shot showed her moving directly away. Definite mis-match. Otherwise well-done.
I just noticed/posted the same observation. For sure, the directions don’t seem to line up. It works in III because she’s backing out of Spacedock and we don’t have the subsequent shot with the spacedoors rotating away.
Wow. Who knew someone could yeet a starship, but when you request any impulse speed inside the star base, I guess that’s what you would really get. Great job!
Great job! I first saw this movie when I was 11 years old and I have probably watched it hundreds of times since then. I never thought about why the Enterprise was still docking in the space dock from the first movie. One thing I have thought about is why it's such a big deal to leave space dock other than the fact it's a HUGE ship about the length of the aircraft carrier Enterprise CVN-65 moving in a confined space. Having the scene inside the space dock from Star Trek III makes this better. While it's visually stunning, it is likely not as dangerous as it looks since leaving space dock is largely automated. I'm sure the ship has systems in place to prevent collisions.
Initially I was watching this wondering what changed. Then there was the comparison, and I realized the main thing that changed was that I was no longer bored out of my skull. Great job! Is the full edit available anywhere or did you just do this scene?
I would actually take thoose remade scenes and cut them into the real movie and make it so much better. Just that scene alone makes the movie so much better :)
To be moderately fair . . . I think 'being bored out of your skull' was part of the point. Sort of leaning into that sense of age, that even coming aboard the Enterprise was no longer the magnificent thing to Kirk that it SHOULD have been.
You have it the other way around. Also the character of Valeris was orignally Saavik. Funnily enough Kim Cattrall auditioned for Saavik in TWOK but Kirsty Alley got the part. Then later on was briefly recast again for Saavik in TUC. They didnt bother contacting Robin Curtis who replaced Alley in the next two films. By the time TUC was being cast, it was decided another actress playing Saavik was'nt a good idea and fans would have hated if she had been a traitor to Spock and Star Fleet.
@@ameliashephard2876 The original footage of Saavik taking Enterprise out of Spacedock was a more leisurely pace. This redo, which I really liked, had Enterprise barreling out. Nice touch with the other trainees added in to look like they are worried as she did this.
I was never a big ST fan, was a SW kid growing up...then WRATH OF KHAN... and a newfound respect for Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Ahura, Bones, Sulu, and Scotty showed me over the years how SW is rock and roll..... ST is classical music. SW is Metallica.... ST is Mozart. Still love 'em both both but ONE of them you can never "grow" out of. Live long and May the Force be with you!
My logic was it was there under construction. Remember in the timeline the events of ST III are only months away. Sulu clearly heard about the ship and maybe Uhura wasn't paying attention. Plus I needed that shot!
@@NickAcosta-Films Could be, yeah. I would think new starships would be constructed in drydocks. But maybe Excelsior being a new, possibly classified thing, they would want it hidden from random eyes. It all looks great though :) Months? I figured III was just a few days after II. Kirk mentioned having to go rescue the crew of the Reliant, but then they'd come home right after that.
As a kid i wore out 2 vhs tapes of star trek 2... and this was done so well, and made me very happy.. tho it did seem like they may have been doing half impulse out of spacedock. Lol Thank you for this masterpiece.
I was blessed to see Star Trek in the theaters from a special matinee at the historic Grand theater in 1980 thru Star Trek 3 & 4 at the Marcus during the holidays. I was also blessed having my Dad's parent's take me to see ST 2: TWOK opening night in tiny Medford WI. A modern Miracle as my Dad and his Pops watched ST classic first run and I was 2nd gen actually watching in syndication. Grandma absolutely Hated Trek, but was convinced to go with the 2 generations of Trekkie's. The miracle was not only that she went but she LOVED TWOK & Trek (except the space slugs lol). The film had a huge impact on me, even though I was really enthused about the motion picture in 80. I was upset at Spock's death and it was a shock for an 11 yr old boy, but by the time we got home this logical mind had an epiphany> I proudly told them before bedtime that Spock wasn't dead at all. They presented the facts as they saw it: Spock's heroic sacrifice and death, the military funeral with honors (bagpipes Grins), and the appearance of Spock's credits at the end. I proudly proclaimed that Spock would return somehow because Genesis (in the film sense) meant Life from Lifelessness. Pops looked at me and says: you know, my boy might be correct as Nimoy had a large part in the creation of the film. Makes no sense for a main character to be killed off. This didn't help M*A*S*H initially with Henry Blake. My grandfather was the Professor. Of course, being the logical yet emotional boy I was it turned out to be right. Boldly going into the Trek universe still at almost age 50.
Original or updated version it's all awesome brings back memories of my childhood and a much simpler time when it was a pure joy to go to the movies and lose yourself in a sci Fi fantasy adventure with James T. Kirk and his crew aboard the U S S Enterprise ❤️❤️
Most excellent! I remember when the film originally came out, it was largely “Enterprise topside, bottom side, left side, right side, right underside angle, top overlook angle, dead on, rear bottom angle…”. Your shots make more sense, give the great scope of space and size, and STORY! Excellent!
I didn’t realize until midway that the space dock wasn’t the original, couldn’t tell what was changed. Good work. To be fair I’m pretty high though.
Thanks. And I found my pinned comment for this video!

If you remember Star Trek 6 they left space dock at 1/4 impulse and it was considered blasting out. They used the same speed here so they get that effect.
I totally agree, a slower pace will suit the exit much better, try that even if you have to cut few scenes,
Sure, it might fit the mood, but that's not what Saavik ordered. Ramping up to 0.25c is indeed hammering. Leaping and bounding in fact. Odd for a girl who was always quoting regulations, but there you are.
Thrusters only in space dock! Now I understand that line, it didn't really fit when you are pulling out of basically a metal cage. But here, dang that's like wreckless driving or something. Definitely against regulations.
That's Acosta's fault for doing an exterior sequence that does not match the original plot.
In Kerbal terms, its like docking using only the main engine, no RCS.
Not necessarily, you wouldn't really want the thrust from an engine that can put out .25 light speed in a metal cage either.
Then again that's basically the Enterprise crew in a nutshell;
*"What regulations?"*
@@iainbagnall4825 to be fair, there are a couple Kerbal youtubers that can do fast docking with just the engine, it's bonkers
bones getting his crew addicted to valium on the first day
I don't think Bones is sharing with anyone but the admiral. I'd like to believe that quaaludes either have come back in the 23rd century or Bone has a line on a private chemist
Picturing Kirk and Bones taking a Fear & Loathing trip in the 23rd century now. The pair of them doing discrete bumps of K while Saavik guns it out of Space dock. Spock is asking the admiral about his sniffling. Sulu's eager for his next break so he can try to catch up with the pair of em. "We were somewhere outside of the Mutara sector when the drugs began to take hold.." Khan is definitely the last person you'd want a left field encounter from after bones haphazardly fed you a sheet of acid... bat country indeed! (thanks for the day dream. I'm potentially about to lose some time to a fan fiction rabbit hole)
@Daniel Rodriguez Bashir and Wesley Crusher making Ketracil white in an old Runabout?? Garak would be ermantrout.
Well that one episode he shot everyone with speed
Remember the scene on Star Trek 6, where Valaris is questioning about impulse engines in space dock, and Kirk has the ship sail out of the space dock?. Well originally it was supposed to be Saavik in # 6. And the scene was supposed to be Kirk getting back at her for the scene from TWOK.
But Saavik was replaced in # 6, so the scene kind of lost its charm.
Kirk's revenge for Saavik scaring the hell out of him back in 2285 never happened. Remember she destroyed the Enterprise in the training room now she was piloting the real thing.
" Jim, you need a tranquilizer ?"
" no, nnnnnoo, ....ok, bones what do you got ?."
Beautiful work! My only criticism is the inclusion of the Excelsior; based on Kirk's dialog from STIII, the rest of the crew hadn't seen her before.
Originally they were to have seen her in II as Sulu’s ship but the scene was either cut or never filmed.
They would have seen it in TWOK as one does not simply build a class prototype in the time it took the movie to play out. When TSFS was made they had to do the excelsior intro the way they did to account for how the TWOK dock scene played out.
@@kenm3245 In the novelization there's some dialogue about Sulu getting command of Excelsior. That's why in the film Kirk thanks Sulu for tagging along (the "i don't think these kids can steer" line). If I remember right he's along for the training cruiser while waiting to be formally assigned to Excelsior.
@@kenm3245 It was filmed! th-cam.com/video/_rrjzF9yAr0/w-d-xo.html
@@cyberchaplain I believe the dialogue between Kirk and Sulu went something along the lines of "I cut your orders myself, the Excelsior will be your ship" . I think I read that in a DC graphic novel that showed the period between Star Trek V and Star Trek VI, the early days of Sulu's command.
You just know Sulu wanted to blast the Spacedock doors with photon torpedoes when he was smiling. :)
Thrusters only in Space Dock, that Lieutenant would be REAMED.
2 seconds after leaving spacedock doors the enterprise gets grabbed in a tractor beam
"Whoa there 1701, cool your jets. The fuck you think you're doing clearing my spacedock at that speed? Your mission is scrubbed. Hope you're ready for 3 weeks of retraining and paperwork."
Don't blame her. In the original movie release the Enterprise was never in Space Dock but in open space having already cleared the scaffold.
Never seen any of the ships ever leave space that in that much of a hurry, that includes when Kirk stole the Enterprise.
Yeah... she would have ended up on some entertainment channel getting fat...
...then maybe thinner again, selling Weight Loss products...
Really, there should be tractor beams maneuvering the ships around inside the space station, but storing the ships within the station was always a dumb idea anyway. What a waste of station space. DS9 had the right idea. Dock the ships to the exterior of the station.
Wonderful job. The enhanced colors and editing overall would have won you several awards had you done this in '82.
"Mr Sulu..'Indulge' yourself"......."Aye..Sir..setting course for Palm Springs..with shore leave stops in West Hollywood, Silver Lake, Santa Monica and SD Hillcrest, Sir"
One slight critique: In Star Trek III, it's clear that the crew outside of Adm. Kirk was seeing the Excelsior for the first time, so it probably shouldn't be seen here.
With that shot of the Excelsior, it would be really cool to have Sulu’s cut dialogue reinserted there.
Bones: But you're Asian. You're not intact?
Sulu: No, doctor, I am cut.
That's perfect. I love how they rushed out of spacedock. After all "regulations state that only thrusters are allowed in spacedock." STVI
That was Kirks revenge Spock for Savik in Spacedock.
This is magnificent work. What I like is that you've significantly improved the original, while remaining completely respectful to it in every way.
Almost shed a tear. What a beautiful star ship design. By far my fave iteration of the Enterprise. I even built a full scale fully working Enterprise on minecraft with 200+ mods. XD
Never understood what Kirk was so nervous about when they left space dock…..It was literally going straight but now with this Fix it makes way more sense that he would be very tense. Great job!🎉
I imagine the dialogue was written before thought was given to the onscreen SFX, and the choice made to go for the cheapskate option and reuse footage from ST:TMP.
Yes, and it's Sulu steering, not Saavik, and a veteran helmsman like him is not going to prang the Enterprise leaving Space Dock 🙂
I don't know if I've ever written it here, but it's worth all the praise every time I write it again, because you've done an exceptional job! the Enterprise's movement on the dock, the camera shots, even why 1/4 thrust is fast for a space dock, you've thought of everything, and the sequence is magnificent! Hopefully one day we can see it on the big screen! congratulations from a brazilian fan!
Nick this is truly fantastic work! I wish my uncle, Gary Nardino were still around so we could’ve seen this. He was in charge of all things Star Trek at Paramount from 1978-1984. Everything about Star Trek II WAS OF COURSE, FIX THE MISTAKES OF THE MOTION PICTURE AND REALLY GET STAR TREK BACK ON COURSE. One of the ways they saved money was to get ILM to do all the special effects. If they had done it, in-house would’ve been twice as much and probably a quarter as good. But the work you did here was absolutely excellent. You should be very proud of. I thank you for taking the time to doing this.
That music, though. It evokes such emotion.
yep, something that just doesn't exist anymore, this had me whooping
Sooooooo true!
It really does!
Never understood why Kirk was so nervous about Savvik taking the chair when Sulu was the one doing the actual piloting.
"Mr Sulu, you may indulge yourself."
"Thank you, but I'm busy flying a spaceship at the moment."
I'll see myself out.
"Oh my."
Wonder if they have pornhub in 24th century. Heck, they got rigellian dancers. And the lady that worked at quark's
@@seanraines5871 It's called a holodeck.
@@thegreatbamboozler4837 mr laforge better not be caught in there with that top lady engineer he liked. Forget her name.
@@seanraines5871 Dr Brahms, LeAnn Brahms, I think??? It's too late to ask Mr Google
One thing that always jarred with me, was the docking scene. It was originally from the “motion picture”, and was reused for “The wrath of Khan”. Whilst it was docking for the port torpedo bay, you can clearly see it was docking for the port side engineering.
It also casts no shadow when it flies through the spotlight
Yeah there's no arguing with that torpedo door and rail, not to mention the SIGN 😂 Kinda lost your way there Sulu ...
Well, the Engineering Deck is more along the Dorsal line of the hull, a few decks up. I did think it was funny they docked at the Cargo Bay airlock and got out at the Torpedo Bay ! 🤣. But they got it right in TMP because it was Made for that placement.
And, why does the Torpedo Bay have two airlocks anyway ? 🤔
Tight budget on Star Trek II.. recycle!
Wrath of Khan had a severely slashed budget compared with The Motion Picture.
Wrath of Khan has been my favorite movie all my adult life. Before that, it was Search for Spock. I love this! This fits so much better than reusing the same footage from Motion Picture. Well done!
That one lone guy in the station who watches the ship go by; looks just like the same guy who does the same thing when Kirk steals the Enterprise in the next movie.
I wonder what he was thinking during both scenes.
The shot at 0:27 is just glorious. Maybe a tad dark but really epic.
All the main lights were off and didnt turn on until a bit later. But I know what you mean
Very well done. The new material merged seamlessly with the original film. In my opinion, the wide shots worked a little better than the original closeups. It's amazing how far VFX have come along, and how much they accomplished with so little back in the 20th century.
Strangely enough, your cut makes better continuity. It flows better.
Didn't even notice that it was much changed from the original, it was that good
🖖
I love the way you warmed up the lighting on the exterior when the shuttle doc's .. very subtle but so necessary.
Well Done!!! The old girl and crew always make me smile!
I think the full impulse should have been slowed since the order was 1/4 and allowed a more dramatic exit to spacedock. Still, overall a brilliant redo of an iconic scene from my childhood.
Seamless and beautiful except for the shot from Star Trek III which put them facing the wrong direction
Astounding and perfect. I hope you get to make more movies. Well done 😊
I really would have loved to see Saavik as a Captain 😓
The Kirstie Alley version.
That's a possibility. There are more seasons of Lower Decks, Picard, and Discovery. We're also supposed to get "Strange new worlds" a series featuring the Enterprise with Pike and Spock, so after "The Cage" maybe? I'd love to see a series with Saavik as Captain set after the Voyage Home possibly. With the long Vulcan life span, Robin Curtis could totally reprise the role in Picard Season 2, voice the role if she appears on Lower Decks, or if they pick up any other stories in the TNG/DS9/VOY/LD time frame. For a while I've wanted to a series with Sulu captaining the Excelsior. Saavik would be a fun addition to that crew. We don't have too much experience with 2 vulcans on a crew. Would Saavik get along with Tuvok?
Hilliard, if you got your wish, what ship would she be captaining?
@@jameskircher5235
I doubt they’ll reprise Robin Curtis or Saavik
She looks about the right age now to play Savik on Picard. R U Listening CBS/Paramount. Pay Kirstie her due ( no Robin Curtis BS. We Want Kirstie!!)
Whatever did happen with Saavik after STIII?
Its been very long since I last saw the movie. I already thought it to be a great work of remastering but I did not realise that you even created the entire spacedock setting. Thats impressive work 👏
Very nicely accomplished! I particularly liked how you've made 1/4 Impulse a seriously fast speed for Spacedock!
1/4 impulse is a seriously fast speed leaving Space dock.
too fast, in fact...
Very well done, Nick. Brighter and more correct colors. Great sound. Evidently , you love the only uncredited cast member, the Enterprise, as much as I. Very much appreciated.
Thanks!
I always knew who the star of the show was❤
One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies, and you just made it better👍 Well done!
MAGNIFICENT NEW EDIT!!! Thanks SO MUCH for this!! Bravo!! Well Done!! This looks EVEN BETTER than the 2006-08 remastering of the entire TOS!!!First saw this movie in Summer 1982 just after Army Basic Training.Took my teenage son to see the theater re-release 35th anniversary in 2017!! Probably THE BEST MOVIE of the entire Movie Series!!
Great job. Love the '...tranquilliser...' line gets me every time :)
This just reinforces how important the DP UNITY edit was. Not only does it predate this , but it actually did fix many things. There's very little here that can be taken seriously.
Savik calls for 1/4 impulse power in space dock...that's against regulations.
It is indeed, But, as Kirk would say " Risk is their business". Personally, I can't think of anything more risky (or embarrassing) than hitting the spacedock doors on the way out. Believe thngs like that qualify for the galaxywide Ship Deck Klutz Award.
The only problem I have is that Star Flee regulations clearly state that while at Starbase never use anything but maneuvering thrusters. Never ever use impulse engines.
Lovely touch up! Great work and well done!!
Excellent improvement in scenes and pace of space dock ship movements. So much more energetic than the slower camera movements from 80s. Loved watching this!
Beautiful Work!
🖖😎👍Very totally cool and very nicely spectaculary wonderfully well done indeed Sir!.
If you were going to alter it, why didn't you add back the footage of them talking about Sulu's promotion?
As far as i've found there's only audio of that dialogue and it's poor quality
@@NickAcosta-Films th-cam.com/video/_rrjzF9yAr0/w-d-xo.html Sulu's missing scene
@@76TomD Audio's ok in that link, and there's no reason you couldn't put the audio back in, even with the cut to the exterior shot, the video could return in time to match lip-synch.
@@jiminverness That's what I thought as well
I think the big reason not to add it in was for STIII, Excelsior was to be a prototype transwarp ship and they wouldn't have given command to a newly minted captain. Even one with such a record as Sulu's. I think any other ship it would've been fine but not Excelsior.
That was a triumphantly, fitting way to begin the best ever Star Trek movie. And the music made it even more memorable. But it would also be one of the last times we’d see this particular Enterprise in such mint condition. It wasn’t long before Khan would batter the smithereens out of it and then in the next movie, it’d be gone forever 😢.
I like the way things can be changed so easy now days, But the speeded up bits did look a bit odd and that let it down for me but still good work you did on it.
These movies were so perfect.
I get all choked up in these scenes.
McCoy: Damn it jim we're going to fast.
Kirk: We're going to slow bones.
$pock: Fascinating
Sulu:😒
Love the music in this movie too! Some of the best of any Star Trek movies or shows!
That was fun. Thanks
RIP, James Horner - your score for this movie was excellent !
What they did is reused scenes from the first movie. On Wrath of Khan it makes more sense for the Enterprise to be in spacedock, not the drydock.
Precisely
What a fantastic piece of work! Congratulations to all involved!
Hi Nick, That's really fantastic, what you have done makes much more sense. If I had one criticism as the Enterprise passes the window it seemed a little jerky almost too fast, any chance of slowing it down a tad. Bear in mind I have no idea where to even start with this sort of thing or how difficult it would be to do what you have done.
Came here to say that. She's literally sprinting out of spacedock.
@@Username3141519 She's on 1/4 impulse power. The speed is perfect. In the theatrical cut, she was too slow. I'm not sure how long it takes for a starship to reach full velocity from a stop but it would seem to me it should be instantaneous.
Great work Nick - shame they didn't have the budget in 1981/2 to put it in themselves
Sorry I have just one niggle - they wouldn't be coming through the main doors of Spacedock with a la'al shuttle pod like that - they'd beam to Spacedock & take the shuttle pod from an airlock to the Enterprise - see end of Star Trek 4.
It was brilliant video nevertheless. Great work
@@1701Wren I would take theese scenes and put them into the movie myself to be honest. He made a realy good job here :)
yes that was terrible. and also far too fast exiting the spacedoors. that just ruined it.
"Would you like a tranquilliser?" Nice touch!
Since you showed Excelsior I think you were itching to add the lost footage of Kirk mentioning that Sulu will be taking command of Excelsior 😉
Man, i wish they would make a series about a spacedock like this. With a lot of ships docking, getting repairs or getting prepared for missions.
I like Nick's cut better. Very nice job.
I think I've seen this movie so many times always brings me back to my younger days
Excellent, though to be nit-picky some of the scenes didn't have smooth transitions. For instance once the Enterprise was outside the dock she turned and flew beneath the main area but the next shot showed her moving directly away. Definite mis-match. Otherwise well-done.
Exactly!
I just noticed/posted the same observation. For sure, the directions don’t seem to line up. It works in III because she’s backing out of Spacedock and we don’t have the subsequent shot with the spacedoors rotating away.
Wow. Who knew someone could yeet a starship, but when you request any impulse speed inside the star base, I guess that’s what you would really get. Great job!
Very nice!
Showing the Enterprise from the lower deck forward side was so beautiful. I am in tears
You really hit the musical queue well leaving space dock. It's too bad you could not extend the new footage to match the original score.
Great job! I first saw this movie when I was 11 years old and I have probably watched it hundreds of times since then. I never thought about why the Enterprise was still docking in the space dock from the first movie. One thing I have thought about is why it's such a big deal to leave space dock other than the fact it's a HUGE ship about the length of the aircraft carrier Enterprise CVN-65 moving in a confined space. Having the scene inside the space dock from Star Trek III makes this better. While it's visually stunning, it is likely not as dangerous as it looks since leaving space dock is largely automated. I'm sure the ship has systems in place to prevent collisions.
Initially I was watching this wondering what changed. Then there was the comparison, and I realized the main thing that changed was that I was no longer bored out of my skull. Great job! Is the full edit available anywhere or did you just do this scene?
Sorry just this scene for now
I would actually take thoose remade scenes and cut them into the real movie and make it so much better. Just that scene alone makes the movie so much better :)
To be moderately fair . . . I think 'being bored out of your skull' was part of the point. Sort of leaning into that sense of age, that even coming aboard the Enterprise was no longer the magnificent thing to Kirk that it SHOULD have been.
Excellent job! Reminds of the Star Trek that I loved!!
Gentlemen, way the wind be on our backs. Stations please😎
Engage Auto Systems....
Aye... Engaged!
Clear All moorings....
Cleared sir.
One quarter impulse power.....
Very cool! I never imagined Khan could be improved, but this is great.
Whoa, Saavik pulled a Valaris outta there, didn't she? :D
You have it the other way around. Also the character of Valeris was orignally Saavik.
Funnily enough Kim Cattrall auditioned for Saavik in TWOK but Kirsty Alley got the part. Then later on was briefly recast again for Saavik in TUC. They didnt bother contacting Robin Curtis who replaced Alley in the next two films.
By the time TUC was being cast, it was decided another actress playing Saavik was'nt a good idea and fans would have hated if she had been a traitor to Spock and Star Fleet.
@@ameliashephard2876 The original footage of Saavik taking Enterprise out of Spacedock was a more leisurely pace. This redo, which I really liked, had Enterprise barreling out. Nice touch with the other trainees added in to look like they are worried as she did this.
Nicely done. Seeing the Enterprise in all her glory is a must-see.
It looks beautiful,but boy does it feel weird ...lol
🖖😎👍Very cool and very nicely greatly well done and executed in every detail way shape and format provided indeed Sir!👌.
Kinda rough on the editing but great video. 🖖
I was never a big ST fan, was a SW kid growing up...then WRATH OF KHAN... and a newfound respect for Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Ahura, Bones, Sulu, and Scotty showed me over the years how SW is rock and roll..... ST is classical music. SW is Metallica.... ST is Mozart. Still love 'em both both but ONE of them you can never "grow" out of.
Live long and May the Force be with you!
Cool :) But, the Excelsior? They hadn't really seen it til they got back in ST:III.....
My logic was it was there under construction. Remember in the timeline the events of ST III are only months away. Sulu clearly heard about the ship and maybe Uhura wasn't paying attention. Plus I needed that shot!
@@NickAcosta-Films Could be, yeah. I would think new starships would be constructed in drydocks. But maybe Excelsior being a new, possibly classified thing, they would want it hidden from random eyes. It all looks great though :)
Months? I figured III was just a few days after II. Kirk mentioned having to go rescue the crew of the Reliant, but then they'd come home right after that.
WOW! This was far more better than the original! Good Job!!
Sorry Nick, not a fan here, the Theatrical cut is much more inclusive of the Enterprise
As a kid i wore out 2 vhs tapes of star trek 2... and this was done so well, and made me very happy.. tho it did seem like they may have been doing half impulse out of spacedock. Lol
Thank you for this masterpiece.
Nice work. One of my favorite scenes in that movie.
I was blessed to see Star Trek in the theaters from a special matinee at the historic Grand theater in 1980 thru Star Trek 3 & 4 at the Marcus during the holidays. I was also blessed having my Dad's parent's take me to see ST 2: TWOK opening night in tiny Medford WI. A modern Miracle as my Dad and his Pops watched ST classic first run and I was 2nd gen actually watching in syndication. Grandma absolutely Hated Trek, but was convinced to go with the 2 generations of Trekkie's. The miracle was not only that she went but she LOVED TWOK & Trek (except the space slugs lol). The film had a huge impact on me, even though I was really enthused about the motion picture in 80. I was upset at Spock's death and it was a shock for an 11 yr old boy, but by the time we got home this logical mind had an epiphany> I proudly told them before bedtime that Spock wasn't dead at all. They presented the facts as they saw it: Spock's heroic sacrifice and death, the military funeral with honors (bagpipes Grins), and the appearance of Spock's credits at the end. I proudly proclaimed that Spock would return somehow because Genesis (in the film sense) meant Life from Lifelessness. Pops looked at me and says: you know, my boy might be correct as Nimoy had a large part in the creation of the film. Makes no sense for a main character to be killed off. This didn't help M*A*S*H initially with Henry Blake. My grandfather was the Professor. Of course, being the logical yet emotional boy I was it turned out to be right. Boldly going into the Trek universe still at almost age 50.
If I didn't know better. I'd say it is an excellent cut. And worthy of the big screen.
Original or updated version it's all awesome brings back memories of my childhood and a much simpler time when it was a pure joy to go to the movies and lose yourself in a sci Fi fantasy adventure with James T. Kirk and his crew aboard the U S S Enterprise ❤️❤️
Nicely done.... like some of the novel ship-angles here. Gives some new appreciation to a classic scene.. Thanks for sharing.
"Regulations Specify THRUSTERS ONLY while in Spacedock." Great Work!
Most excellent! I remember when the film originally came out, it was largely “Enterprise topside, bottom side, left side, right side, right underside angle, top overlook angle, dead on, rear bottom angle…”. Your shots make more sense, give the great scope of space and size, and STORY! Excellent!
Amazing work! Love seeing the old girl, and this fits the scene better than having the simple dry dock.
Yeah they use the term Spacedock so much and I associate the original with dry dock.
I love the shot of Enterprise pulling away from her mooring station. Fantastic!
Thanks!
Impressive...Most Impressive. Indeed you are powerful as The Great Bird of the Galaxy has foreseen.
