Star Trek: Nemesis Fan Edit - The Wedding (with Deleted Scenes)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- This is my second edit of a segment from Star Trek: Nemesis, this time of the opening wedding scene. Like with the ending of this film, there were some amazing deleted scenes that show how the characters are feeling and how the events of the story are affecting them.
The changes I made here include:
- Added a deleted scene titled, "Wesley's New Mission," which shows Picard and Beverly talking with Wesley, who explains that he will be serving with Riker aboard the Titan.
- Added a second deleted scene titled, "Chateau Picard 2267." This scene is excellent. Picard and Data discuss how the wedding has affected Picard, and we see in both of these deleted scenes that the jovial, relaxed attitude Picard had when giving the wedding toast was kind of an act to hide his feelings about the family breaking apart. This scene also has Picard's first mention of "new worlds," a phrase he also says to Shinzon later.
- I added some moving star backgrounds to the shots with green screen, and added in the suite version of "The Inner Light" during Picard and Data's talk. I figured that the famous theme from an episode about family would be a nice touch to this scene, and it is such a lovely piece of music.
I hope you like this edit of mine. Methinks that many of the deleted scenes for this film would have made the final product a lot stronger had they been kept in :) - เพลง
If you enjoyed me using editing to try to examine the heart of this here movie, you might enjoy my newest project- a video essay about Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. You can view it at this link: th-cam.com/video/K8BaHrHWBaU/w-d-xo.html
@Honeycutt, you put the HEART BACK INTO "Star Trek - Nemesis".
Before hand, I watched your superb video "Star Trek: Nemesis Ending Fan Edit - Data's Farewell (with Deleted Scenes)" and as with this video, you can see a DISGUSTING waste of so many beautiful scenes.
The BIGGEST asset of "Star Trek - The Next Generation" was the TNG cast being so close in real life and behind the camera. That translated into every scene.
TNG was a special TV family, but also, the viewer's family. We learned and grew with the cast.
If they ever release a special edition with all these scenes put back in?
"Star Trek - Nemesis" would be seen as the Next Generation's perfect swan song complete with EVERYTHING which made the show and cast a CLASS act.
Sadly, this film, is another victim of suits who treat the audience as morons. They think the audience don't want anything that you have to ENGAGE (pun intended) and invest yourself into until the end?
All the best films explore the characters and connect with us on a human level.

It's a shame the conversation between Picard and Data was cut. Star Trek is just as much about exploration of the human condition as it is about the shooty shooty bang bang that this film ended up being.
That was beautiful! It's such a rarity to see Picard being this open about his feelings - its a shame these wonderful scenes were deleted. Thank you for taking the time to put them back in.
Wine tends to make you open up a bit lol
I agree 100%
Give an Englishman (or fake Frenchy) a glass of half descent wine and he will talk about anything you want...
I always wondered what happened to Wesley too! After becoming an important being and going away with the traveler, it’s great to see that he eventually came back to his roots, again.
In truth Star Trek has always been more about the human condition than spaceships or aliens. Gene Roddenberry used the backdrop of space to tell us stories about life and human nature, as well as using characters like Spock and Data to reflect on what it is to be human.
It's mindboggeling that THIS (especially the Data - Picard scene) was cut out of the movie, but that stupid desert buggy chase was kept in.
It was a good chase.
As far as i understand the Desert Buggy chase was Patrick Stewards wish, so it had to happen.
These scenes should have been in the film cause these actually does connect to the later series, Picard.
It would actually be awesome to see some of these scenes recycled and potentially used as flashback scenes in "Picard"
Too bad this Picard is missing in the new series.
You are exactly right. While I do grow tired of the cliché, “the book is better than the movie,“ this post, which includes moments from the book, certainly prove the cliché correct.
Yes, absolutely!!!
@@JimmyNotes Yeah, I was thinking the same thing!
Your fan edits have really shown that this movie had a heart and soul that was left on the cutting room floor. I found the plot problematic (a human as Romulan praetor, an exact clone of Picard that looks nothing like him, etc), but your edits show that it really could have been a much better movie than it was.
Oh, how I agree that it could've been way better. I hated it because of the unexplained inconsistencies with the ending of the series: seeing Wesley in uniform after he quit Starfleet to join the Traveler, Riker and Troi together when the series ended with Troi and Worf getting together, and so on. And I too thought Picard's clone was ridiculous, and didn't like that the clone had the hots for Troi.
I've never understood the whole "looked nothing like him" thing. Yes, they're not really clones. They're two different actors, unrelated to each other. But I thought they DID look quite a bit like each other.
@@clauderobotham6261 Riker and Troi one can explain. in Insurrection they came back together. And Worf was with Dax, even married Jadzia.
This “cut”would have made Nemesis such a better movie.
Watching the final scene with Picard and Data, having watched Picard season 3 (up to episode 6) really adds weight to this lovely conversation.
The scene between Data in the Picard was very beautiful and very touching. I'm really sad that that hit the cutting room the floor.
I would love to see a full recut of this film with ALL the deleted scenes put back in. Fantastic work.
Zac Snyder... paging Zac Snyder... please report to Paramount.
Seriously. Aren’t we like a year away from the 35th anniversary of TNG? What better celebration than longer cuts of all the movies. Paramount. Make it happen.
Agreed! It would be nice to know why Wesley was vac in Starfleet
Same!
_Make it So_
Wow, I can't believe they omitted these wonderful scenes. The movie would have seemed so much more complete if they had just left them in.
I remember seeing an extra person in the white outfit at the table and thinking "Is that Wesley???"
It's unfortunate they didn't explain why he came back considering he didn't want to be in Starfleet anymore. Would have made more sense for him to shimmer in like the traveller, crash the wedding, say "thanks for the memories" and shimmer out.
Oh, he did - the cameras were just malfunctioning when he shimmered in and out :D :D :D
Nemesis was SO BAD that they failed to be consistent with Wesley as a Traveler.
They tried to fix Wesley's character arc with the brief "cameo" at the end of Picard, Season 2, but it didn't really work. Too little, too late in my opinion. Too much time had elapsed between "Journeys End," when he left with the Traveler, and Picard, in my estimation.
Excellent stuff.
Wesley's (speaking) appearance shouldn't have been removed from the final cut of the film, and you've reinserted it here in a seamlessly fluid way.
The Picard/Data scene looks so much better with the resolution increased and the moving starfield in place of greenscreen; 'The Inner Light' theme was a nice touch as well (and had me nearly welling up), but I do feel that the music works best within the last 40-45 seconds of the video - given the quiet, personal nature of the conversation, editing music into a scene adds as much as it takes away, but that's what fan-cuts and experimentation is for (not a criticism btw :) )
On the whole, really well done Ben - I can't wait to see more work from you. :)
Things are cut for time. Some scenes at meaning and add gaps and complete the movie like these. Others do not.
Wesley's apperance didn't make any sense. He just gave up his adventures with the traveler? Wesley needed his own star trek movie. That would have been amazing!
That was not Wheaton’s best acting. Needed another take or two. He comes across as the angry douchebag that Wil Wheaton often plays in other roles (e.g. The Guild) rather than the wide-eyed kid who was fascinated by the universe around him. They could try to advance the Wesley character, in which case the delivery would make a bit more sense. But then they lines would need to be updated to match. Those lines were written for wide-eyed Wesley, not grizzled-veteran Wesley.
Nah Wesley was perfect , except he should have been in civilian clothes, , , remember he left Starfleet to evolve his mind with ""the TRAVELER"" from Tal Alpha C , , , it was kinda big deal episode of TNG , , ,😋👍👍
@@wyldelf2685 That's the reason I think his scene was cut.
The Chateau Picard scene is so good. It's like something from the series and a softer moment the movie really needed.
It's like the best of the Spock/Kirk dialogue in Wrath of Khan or Undiscovered Country.
As I experience certain sensory input patterns, my mental pathways become accustomed to them. The inputs eventually are anticipated and even missed when absent.
Thanks Data. Your observations are noted.
If only both Data and Picard knew what was ahead for them both. The last scene here is why I love Star Trek.
Ooo that was perfectly edited. It should have been done this way, to set up how much Data has learnt, but also to establish how much more he wants to learn.
Contrast this to the whistling Data from Farpoint, it seems almost necessary that this scene have been included.
Especially playing Picard's flute sequence. That was a beautiful addition
Absolutely!
We all can thank Stuart Baird I guess. He obviously hates Trek.
This is what we expected from the films - more of the people we care about. The adventure is just setting, not the point. This was excellently done.
So, this would have been around when Jack 2 was conceived without Picard knowing.
I really teared up when I heard "Picard's Theme" playing in the background. Such a sad, but beautiful song.
("Inner Light")
That ancient Flute from the old alien probe , , the tune is a nautical shipping tune ,can't remember the original song name hmmm 🤔👍
@@wyldelf2685 It was actually composed for the episode "The Inner Light" by TV composer Jay Chattaway. It has been adapted and arranged for a full orchestra since. But it is an original tune written for the TNG series.
@@ralphralpherson9441 He definitely took credit for it , ,that much for sure
Great character moments.... ! THIS film needs massive restoration...
OMG, this made me tear up. Especially the background music in the Picard/Data scene. I’ve watched this one clip four times in the past hour. Well done!!👍🏼🥰
What a shame. Best parts of the movie, DELETED.
Thank you for putting it back together.
You have both exceeded and improved upon your previous edit of the film's final scenes.
Unfortunately, this does make the ending that much more tragic, but at least we get to see how Picard confides in Data, and how this movie serves as a nexus for the series where even the Captain has no idea where the future will take him (or at least, that's how it would have happened)
I hope you find more tidbits and we can actually see what a great sendoff this movie could have been.
We didn't get these wonderful, quiet character moments. But at least we got...a sweet dune buggy chase? Um...
Insert Butthead saying "Dune buggies are cool" followed by Beavis saying "Yeah" and making engine noises and tire screeching sounds with his mouth.
@@blazerocker1734 I feel like you just described the producers meeting...
That was the '90s for ya. And yes, I miss the '90s!
A heartfelt couple of scenes from the movie that were deleted. Thank you for editing this together and posting. They probably should have left in the scenes for the fans, especially Data's scene with Picard was touching and gave the movie extra depth.
I wished they kept this scene.
6:55
Data noticing the end of space!!!
4:19 A shiver ran down my spine when I heard that flute melody. That still gets me every single time…an episode for the ages…
Why hasn’t this made it to the Final Cut?😫
Thank you for taking the time to edit these scenes back in. It doesn't really fix the story, but it is interesting to see that some of the things missing were at least considered.
What an amazingly satisfactory sequence! Its been 20 years since I saw that movie(and I found the wedding scene a bit corny), but the addition of the deleted scenes makes it much better, as well as your addition of the Inner Light. Thank you!
I love the use of the song Picard played on the Russican tin flute during his talk with Data. This was definitely a scene that should've been included, given the ending....
The music really helps the Picard/Data scene. Don’t know if the suits would have been willing to pay Jay Chattaway when they already have Jerry Goldsmith though.
Lovely, thanks for this fine work ❤
We now know that Picard and Beverly did the Horizontal Mambo this very night! #JackCrusher
This is especially poignant now that we know what happens with Star Trek Picard. Data died, Picard and Beverly never got together, Picard quit Starfleet, so much potential that never happened.
Glad that Beverly & Picard got together in the books, even had a son. I wish they did more with THAT timeline, instead of the new one they are shoving at us.
We don't know - perhaps there's hope for Jon Luc and Beverly yet? Timey-wimey things happening in Picard and the announcement of the return of the TNG cast in addition to the regular Picard crew for Ssn. 3, makes me wonder if perhaps there's hope yet for the two of them.
Ok, he was interested in Laris, but Prime Laris was talking about leaving before he was called back into service to the Federation, and it seems her body was somehow taken over and brought back in time, in the events leading up to the divergence in the timelines, and the entity in her body doesn't know who Laris is... Anyway, my point is, it sounds like Picard isn't going to wind up with Laris. So, perhaps he and Beverly will wind up together after all.
In any event, this cut scene between him and Data fits so perfectly with the Picard series! I'd really like to see if perhaps they use it as a memory of his, sometime during Ssn. 3.
@@emdee7744 , give it some time 😊
It’s such a shame that scenes like this were cut. It gave the film more heart and the crew moving on. It would of wrapped up so many story arch’s and would of leed of beautifully for Picard and co. As much as this film wound me up as a Trekkie so much could of been added with so little and this proves it. The setting the music everything was perfect
It suddenly occurs to me, Data was probably set to be promoted to full Commander, and First Officer of the Enterprise. It makes perfect sense, and adds to the tragedy of his death.
I thought that was eluded to at the end of the movie? "Tyrannical tyrant who will never let me go on away missions"
No, there are deleted scenes that show the new first officer, played by the same actor who led the MACOs on Enterprise. Riker pranks him on his way out the door.
@@AlanDavidDoane thats true, but since that was a deleted scene Idk if it counts as to what was left in the movie.
This movie is really a Farewell to the crew. Will and Deanna are on the Titan along with Westley. Worf is still station on DS9. Crusher is going to Star Fleet Medical, Data died at the end of the movie. So all that is left is La Forge
And Picard
I thought Worf was appointed by Starfleet to be ambassador to Kronos at the end of DS9 in the year 2375. Nemesis happens 4 years after DS9. I wonder if the writers retconned Worf's ending.
@@Agent-Nu11 sometimes the Star Trek Timeline could off sometimes. A bunch of events could be happen around the same time. The Enterprise D and Voyager being trap in the Delta Quadrant happen in the same year. Sometimes the writers clear on the year
And now we learned Beverly goes into hiding for the next 20 years, away from Picard and the rest of the crew she worked with for a long time.
@@thedarkprince305 I think your timetable is off a bit, the Enterprise-D was put out of commission in Generations before the Voyager's launch from the Badlands to the Delta Quadrant.
I hope they include these scenes in Picard season 3 as a flashback.
Wow. I never knew about either of those deleted scenes, and knowing how the rest of the film (and *Picard*) goes, that second one hit like a truck.
One of the best scenes in the film and isn’t even in the film.
The flute from the inner light. Beautiful and perfect
Don't lie. The first thing you noticed was that they'll all standing too close together. 😱
Thank you...a much better ending...more fitting♥️
The thing I always hated about the wedding part of the movie is that we only got a few seconds of Brent (Data) singing. I really, really wish that part had been a little longer. Most songs are only a couple minutes long anyway, so it's not like it would have added a huge amount to the length of the movie.
I'm slightly disappointed he didn't go for Oye Como Va.
In many ways, thanks to data wanting to be the best of humanity. Picard kept his path true and didn't stray when diplomacy was the answer
Great job 😊 A full fan edit of this movie would serve a good purpose.
I don't like the soft reset they did on Data in Nemesis. Even if his emotion chip failed or he decided to remove it permanently since Insurrection, he's still been around Picard and the crew long enough to not be so puzzled by Picard talking about the wine. Or to have to ask why Riker getting married and leaving the Enterprise is bittersweet.
Data's one of the most inconsistently written characters in all of Star Trek.
I wish they had invited Chief O'Brien and Keiko. Would've made sense, too.
that was beautiful and the tin whistle melody made it all the more poignant.
While it would be nice to have Wesley visit again , Wesley gave up on pursuing a Starfleet career and evolved to a new form and left with the "Traveler from Tal Alpha C" who was posing as a native American in that colony that was fighting cardassians , , , , guess fans aren't supposed to remember that episode that marked the departure of Wesley Crusher from TNG
in the countdown comics data does become captain of the enterprise
Nice edits. However, it only makes sense in hindsight knowing that this was their "final" movie outing. The added scenes would have made future movies difficult to get the band back together. They've all said that at the time, none of the knew that this would be the last movie for them.
Picard is basically Datas loving father. Simply put
You know it is one hell of a party, when the Klingon is the first one out.
This is absolutely fantastic! Have you ever considered making a full Extended Cut for Nemesis?
2:47 ah that beautiful shot of Enterprise E, best Enterprise from all of them and they dare to remove her and replace here with Ent-F which for whatever reason got decommissioned. As someone who is big fan of Sovereign and Akira classes, IT IS UNACCEPTABLE!! IT is blasphemy!
Nice green screen filler with the stars
This could have been a great movie but they still managed to fuck up... Data in red as the new Number One, Worf appearing naked at the ceremony on Betazed and so on... Just imagine...
There are some nice character moments here: Picard and Crusher seem couple-y here, which matches nicely with Picard Season 3. The scene with Picard and Data as well.
Very nice additions. I like the Inner Light flute song in the background.
I wish they kept it in. Wesley Crusher made it after his academy mishaps.
Can paramount please realease an un edited version of the TNG movies, especially nemesis
And include the Inner Light music for the scene with Picard and Data?
Season 2 and 3 of Picard confirmed that Wesley was never at the wedding nor did he rejoin starfleet
It's too bad they had to cut the scene of Picard and Data drinking wine and making toasts it really was a great scene.
shame they didn't get to film the ceremony on Betazed...what with no speeches and no clothes!
Also, the volume level of the otherwise bittersweet flute music detracts a little from the scene.
picard did eventually marry crusher in the non canon tng novels after nemesis and had a kid with her named after his nephew
So bazaar the Brent elected to kill Data off regardless of age! Superb and underrated actor!
There isn’t a single deleted scene from this movie that SHOULD have been deleted!
Why they cut the human interactions and kept that silly desert chase makes no sense.
Ok.. You should have been the Director of Nemesis..
Ben, our sincere thanks for the effort you put into this post. I agree with those who suggests that some of these moments could be used in the Picard series.
Gorgeous!
Touching & soulful.
These relationships are an important aspect of Trek, for us as fans, & should have been kept in the film.
Awesome idea - putting the whistle tune in, from the "virtual" family that Picard had ...for 20 minutes...
Thank you!
What bonehead edited them out? They absolutely should’ve been left in.
It's obvious they cut the scene with Wesley... In one of the last episodes of the series, after badmouthing Starfleet Academy, he went off to "other planes of existence" with the Traveler and was never seen again.
I'm actually surprised, and i would like to know whose brilliant idea it was to have him shoot this part... they shouldn't have even wasted time shooting it.
What a beautiful edit thank you for this. That scene with Picard and Data I think someone was cutting onions because I couldn't stop the water works. Holy heck this make season 1 and 3 of Picard make so much more sense too.
Love this. They could have unfolded the latter scene in Picard but that's just a thought.
The flute 😭😭😭
This film gets lots of flak but that shot of the E at 2:39 is so unbelievably iconic.
Did you know the Enterprise E was specifically designed for the 16:9 movie theater aspect ratio, while the Enterprise D was specifically designed for the 4:3 typical television aspect ratio of its day?
Which is why they blew the D up in Generations.
@@MrLommax You're right!
I don't remember how did they explain Wesley stop being a time bandit - hanging with the Traveler? Then in season 2 of Picard he was still doing that - being a time bandit. . .
Makes no sense to have had Westley Crusher there and back in Star fleet. He turned his back on Star Fleet when he left with the traveler, there should be repercussions and in no way should he be allowed back in so easily. Other than that this looks like how it should have been.
One idea is that since this took place just a little bit outside the end of the Dominion war there would've been a massive shortage of highly technical trained officers in Starfleet. They needed to quickly rebuild the fleet to maintain stability and so would've taken Wesley in despite his history.
@@oldtwinsna8347 Given they also accepted Ro Laren back, that tracks to me.
If this movie had had you editing it, it would have ended up being much more than it ever was. So many phenomenal moments we have seen through your edits that we didn’t see in the movie have been beautifully done by your work in your many videos. Thank you for sharing them with us.
I really really Love it Data and Picard! The NEXT Generation legacy
Just watched Nemesis again yesterday. Seeing this edit is lovely. I really like these deleted scenes and others reincorporated into a full movie edit.
My favourite are:
- Worf's private chat with Picard about the dangerous situation they were entering into
- the extended scene of Beverley and Picard where she reassures him he is not anything like Shinzon
- Picard expressing how he felt realising Shinzon was a clone of himself
The film was poorer without them, although the runtime might have been too long and so would have reduced cinema viewings and then profit for the film makers, I suppose.
One thing about Picard and Data's conversation here that doesn't make full sense to me is Data's wonder at the 'confluence of emotion' - namely, the simultaneous expression of pleasure and sadness he observed at the wedding. This is odd to me considering he himself experienced this at the end of Generations when he found his cat Spot. He wondered then why he was happy to see Spot and yet crying. Troi explained that that was perfectly normal and so he would have understood that then. I'm sure in the 8 years between then and Nemesis he would have further grasped this reality and seen more 'confluences of emotion' in others and in his own emotions with his emotion chip. Oh well, a little nit-pick of mine....
It's just the fact that writers, as great as they are, aren't perfect, so sometimes they miss things. It did make a good way to keep the scene moving along; I think that's what its real purpose was.
theyre playing Picard's space flute arent they? very touching wow , that planet
Would love to see a Director's cut of Nemesis, but would hate Stuart Baird to do it...
I found it interesting that Data was seemingly mimicking Picard's tasting of the wine, I would have thought that after serving on the Enterprise as long as he has Data would be familiar with this method of drinking wine.
5:29 I thought that was will in the background with the creepy white mask
Still waiting star trek xi 😢
Yet more proof too much of this movie ended up on the cutting room floor!
This movie could've been so much better had many of the deleted scenes been kept in!
Wesley got screwed!
With the lack of the explanation of Wesley withstanding, I liked it!
a LOT of work went into making this vid, nicely put together.
Man I'm so fun the producers killed me because Star trek wasn't only about humor
Nevertheless, I survive in the body of B4
Though Nemesis really isn't good, the amount of photons fired at the scimitar and it's cloaked so It doesn't have shields up
With the amount of photons they fired they could destroy anything
Wesley had the godlike power to travel all of space-time in the blink of an eye and turn thought into reality. So in Starfleet's infinite wisdom they put him on the nightshift in engineering on the USS Titan.
But in Star Trek Picard S02 E10 he is back in the exact role of the traveller... Inconsistent story writing or whatever
@@didomenico-art Because the scene didn't make the cut into the final film, they decided that it didn't fit with both Wil's life choices (choosing to be an interviewer and essentially a Trek/nerd journalist) and Wesley's story arc. The surprise cameo was acceptable, but I think seeing Wesley as the voice waking up the Captain (Riker) about night shift issues would have been interesting.
Can someone explain to me...... So in “All good things” Troi was with Worf.... and now she marries Riker? What did I miss?
You missed Seasons 4-7 of Deep Space Nine
You missed also Insurrection...
The deleted scenes might have made the movie better
4:17 - THAT background music was certainly appropriate with the topic Picard and Data were discussing.
Music from "The Inner Light" was a nice touch but I think could have been softer overall (I find it distracting as it is, almost fighting with the actors' dialog), and definitely should be a super slow crescendo from when it starts to the end of the scene.. still, gosh, if you read the script vs the movie we were given, what an even greater movie it would have been... Riker's "Don't worry, hell is dark" after he drops the Viceroy... anyway.. thanks for doing this!
