I'm a old man and have followed Star Trek from the very beginning , I can say with hand on heart this is a master piece, from all fans I say thank you .
I have to admit that I was genuinely and strongly moved by the image of Spock. I'm old too, I watched every episode on NBC starting with 'The Man Trap' as it aired for the first time. This is some amazing creation.
stunning. it's sad that so few of the original actors are left. very respectful recreation of Leonard Nimoy's Spock - still struggling with emotions. I have to admit this brings a tear to the eye - must be getting old. RIP Spock🌌
"It's sad that so few of the original actors are left" Which is why I'm DYING to have one last visit with them together in Trek, however it happens. Even if Shatner and Takei have to do their work in separate rooms, I just want one last new thing with them before it's too late.
I watched it 10 times and still get chills. That slight change in Spock's expression tells us he's in tremendous emotional pain. It's the Vulcan equivalent of dropping to your knees and sobbing. It's so well done, exactly how I would have expected Leonard Nimoy to do it.
Well you have to remember Kirk and Spock were friends for decades during their journeys on the Enterprise and remember what Spock said near the end of Star Trek 2:The Wrath of Khan just before he died 'I have been and forever shall be your friend' and remember what Deanna Troi said that Vulcans have the same feelings we do they just learned to suppress them going through the ritual called the 'Kolihnar' the ritual to suppress all emotions.
@@nicholasmorsovillo2752incorrect. Control and suppression of emotions yes, but not every Vulcan goes through the Kholinar. That is a top level discipline that few get to. Spock failed in his attempt.
Just stunningly beautiful. We can see that, in spite of Spock's character, so many emotions here are being struggled with. This was a TRUE masterpiece of work and art.
This actually makes up for Shatner's deleted scene in Star Trek (2009). Seeing Spock grapple with these emotions. Knowing he could have seen his friend one last time, after almost a century. Losing him again. And not being there either time. Heartbreaking. Every part of this is so well done. The teaser at the end has me itching for this TMP-era Spock and Colt story. What is it?! When will we see it?? I'm eager and anxious to see.
Shatner never filmed any scenes for Trek 2009. He'd been in preliminary discussions to appear in both 2009 and Into Darkness, but it never happened, obviously.
@@brettcooper3893It was a scene that was scripted, but never shot. Spock Prime was supposed to give Spock a pendant with a holographic message inside: Shatner-as-Kirk wishing Spock happy birthday and pondering their place in their present and in their past. It was written well enough and would’ve been a great surprise cameo but, of course, Shatner didn’t wanna do it.
I genuinely had more of an emotional reaction from this short than nearly any blockbuster movie from the last 10 years or so. The amount of passion that has been poured into this is obvious, thank you to all involved.
Apart from the first 2009 reboot and Season 3 Picard. The bastardisation and destruction of Star Trek has really upset me.... this was done with love, reverend, respect and honour....
Well, it does require the story building and character building that leads up to this scene, otherwise it wouldn't mean the same emotionally. It would be kinda confusing and not really mean anything if you don't know what happened before this
@@AndrooUK indeed....... it's funny, pre Kurtzman Trek, I loved the show but say I was emotionally attached...... watching its destruction impacted me far more than I thought it would
Wow. The attention to detail in the ship, face, uniform, and EVERYTHING, it’s absolutely perfect. This 2 minute clip is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen from Star Trek.
The acting is an absolute masterclass. How to portray a range of emotions without resorting to crying like a baby or screeching like a banshee. Modern Trek actors would do well to watch this and learn.
@@s2kdriver It's taken from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, after he's back in his body and he's struggling to recognize Kirk and the rest. Nimoy was brilliant, he always controlled Spock's power, versus the overheated mess of whatshisname. It's a shame they didn't invest in finding a hand model/actor, those are So not Nimoy's hands... and we remember those things. /old Trekkie
@One Issue Voter Spock here is played by an actor, the used 3d rendering of spocks face from earlier movies to create a mask for the actor. They also enhanced the actors appearance digitally.
Spock's memory of the The Enterprise being destroyed by Kirk, on the Genesis planet, to save his accelerated aging body, in order to return his Katra to him on Vulcan, that had been transferred to McCoy. The memory in Spock seems to be in a younger version of him on a star base -- as opposed to the older Spock visiting Veridian III where Kirk was buried -- so much information in a 2 minute clip ---with such precise likeness makes the story so real. Absolutely amazing.
It really is. As I sat and thought about this for a few minutes the possibilities unfolded gently, beautifully, piece by piece. For a two-minute clip the density of ideas here is as stunning as the visuals, and the mournful score. You suddenly realise its tantalising parallels - the symmetry between two friends, each having been, at different moments in time, alone, mourning the death of the other. The destruction of Enterprise D associated with the death of Kirk, somehow triggering a vision of the loss of the original 1701 after the death of Spock. The momentary seeming psychic link between his older and younger selves, and the perception of two ship losses neither of which he actually witnessed, is fascinating. Then you recall the title "Resurrection" - initially that was only about Spock's rebirth in ST III. Then you remember The Return, and then you remember the revelation in Picard season 3 at Daystrom Station, and realise it's pointing to that possibility, too. By now the ideas are tumbling over themselves in my head - my mind is racing as to whether Spock could/would do the same for Kirk as Kirk did for him, continuing to fulfil this mysterious symmetry that somehow exists across space and time between these two friends. Would it be his past self who acts? The one who just received a vision of the future? Did old Spock communicate to him in that moment the knowledge of having met Picard, and how might this inform younger Spock's action? Then you remember the end of ST III: "You came back for me... why would you do this?" and Kirk's reply "You would've done the same for me." 😱🤩 *Literal* shivers. Tears. I can't believe how clever and elegant and dense this short film is - it set my imagination racing, and made me very happy. Thank you so much to everyone involved in creating it such an ingenious and loving tribute - one of the most delightful, perfect additions to the Trek universe and my personal head canon I've ever seen. ❤
@@whalemonstre It was incredible but I'm still wrapping my head around the flashback to younger Spock. Where is he and why are we taken to that moment in time? Looks like Motion Picture era I'm just not sure of the significance.
I grew up watching Star Trek TOS with my mom and Spock was her favorite character. Leonard Nimoy passed away a week after she did, but my first reaction to hearing about it was to call her. I've never cried because of a celebrities death before that, but that day I broke down. Seeing him again, even if it was a digital copy still made me cry.
This is beyond perfect. Having watched Spocks reaction to Sarek's passing in TNG's Unification is both the same and different all in one. With Sarek's passing, Spock was both bitter and sad that his father had passed away, and yet he felt he did not know him as well as he'd like to have. In this instance, Spock is reacting to an extremely close friend, who risked everything to bring him back. The opening shot of this video makes us realise the true damage caused by the Enterprise's landing, something we didn't see too well in the movie due to CGI still being in its early days for this sort of stuff, and there was more of a budget to work to. But the recovery ties in very nicely with what we got to see at the end of Picard, season 3. Just two things I wished were different - Picard's line in the movie ".....but unfortunately, the Enterprise D cannot be salvaged." And also, that Leonard was still with us, so he could enjoy this masterpiece with us. Thank you for making an old fan shed a tear.
This genuinely made me tear up. It is wonderful to see the aftermath of Generations with the emotional weight its events deserve. Seeing the late-70s era Spock and the negative space in that last shot is what made me lose it slightly. I always felt it was a great shame to have Spock be still around in the 24th century and yet miss out on him seeing his apparently long-dead friend one last time. Whatever Roddenberry Archive wants to do with this technology, please make it worthwhile, it has the potential to provide closure to the franchise and give it back some of its dignity.
After the epic resurrection of the Enterprise D from the finale of Picard season 3 now we are treated to a glimpse of when they were recovering her after 29 years. I can’t believe we get to see Nimoy again and his Spock reacting to his dear friend’s death, this is some closure I needed. I always felt Kirk’s death was so…. lacking from both how he died and afterwards.
@@smileygabe22 Any reasons? I thought the story was okay, but the effects/lighting/sets were very Kurtzman. Edit: I was talking about S3. S1-S2 didn't even occure to me.
@@smileygabe22 S1 and 2 were the worst ever, S3 with new showrunner and writers was far better. Not perfect, but as good as we could have gotten to fix the mess the previous made.
I remember Rick Berman saying he wanted all of the original crew for the Enterprise-B scenes. All but Wm. Shatner, James Doohan and Walter Koenig declined, but if this scene had been a post-credits scene for “Generations”, it would had been a great way for Leonard Nimoy to had participated. Even if it was a post-credit scene with both Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelly as Ambassador Spock and retired ADM Leonard McCoy paying their final respects to James T. Kirk.
How a 2 minute video has made a 40 year old man cry like a baby is beyond me. This is MY Trek, and evidently is the Trek Terry Matalas is interested in making. Continuity matters and is full of golden opportunity to fill in gaps and expand and explore. #StarTrekLegacy 🙏🏻😭
Right there with you. Only thing i don't get - why the combination of teh A descending to planet genesis while we are seeing a TMP Spock as those events had not yet happened for him. Any thoughts?
if you take the tng crew out of picard season 3 it's really not a good story at all. i feel like terry matalas wasted an insane opportunity by not having a completely kickass original story to go along with bringing them all back together but it seems like the creativeness in the story doesn't matter that much to alot of people. strange to me.
@@funghoul9124 Yes I completely agree. The people praising Matalas are delusional. All we really got was fan service, without any true substance to it. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed seeing the Enterprise D set, but this isn't enough to make me say it was a good season. It was a terrible season.
I simply cannot find the words to accurately describe how this made me feel. The crashed 1701-D saucer section, the music, the emotions just below the surface of Spock's expression, all executed to perfection. Seeing this brought tears to my eyes. Live long and prosper.
I'm turning also 40 and I'm crying too. I grew up watching Kirk and his crew and i do I love it. I have watched this video so many times and it is important. Family and friends. Thanks for this.
Spock has devoted himselve to logic and selve controll, but by no means are his emotions purged. And especially old spock learned to appreceate his emotions. You can especially see that in Star Trek 6.
@@Progger11 To be fair, he made it all the way to the final ritual, or so the movie seems to suggest. He was extremely successful in working through his emotions. Mind you, I do not disagree but just felt I'd add to your comment.
Since 1966 I have been and always will be a Trek fan. Thank you for sharing this with us...seeing that look on Spock feeling of love and lose of his friend Jim Kirk made me tear up
Yep. Reminds me of going to see Star Trek 3, thinking, oh this will be fun, and they began the film with that letterbox of Spock's death, and I wept before eating my popcorn. 🙁 Very well done. We may assume the flashbacks are Spock recalling the first time he heard of Kirk's supposed death on the Enterprise B, and the great sacrifice that was made to by the crew to bring Spock back after Genesis... Fascinating.
If you're 50 years old and this makes you sob and lose control of yourself you really need to get a grip on reality and yourself. I mean if this makes you cry imagine how unstable you must seem to the people around you in your life. You would literally be scaring them and making them insecure and cause them damage.
Just want to thank OTOY and Chris (frank) Gore for bringing this to our attention on FNT (Vegas) Spock was so good, so very good. I got the feels not just for Spock but remembering Lenard and how that human emotional side slipped out every now and again. This is what I miss this kind of talent, commitment and character. What a superlative Job in this quiet bit of memory and art. Thank you again.
This is cool! And Spock is played by an actor with prosthetic mask and blended with visual effects from footage. And he is quite convincing even without the CGI - at least in still image.
Yeah everyone thinks this is pure CGI, but actually the actor has an incredible likeness to Leonard Nmoy IRL. Theyve just closed the last 10% with makeup which has insanely good results. This actor can literally cash n on his genetics if he sticks with star trek projects...
This is amazing. I cannot believe the perfect attention to detail and the look of complete realism. Please go further with this. As a 44 year Trek fan, seeing new TMP era footage literally brought tears to my eyes. You have something special going here. Please go further with this. All of the decades old fans will be eternally grateful.
41 and grown up watching Trek with my bro and this has more heart than anything I have seen in a long time in the franchise ( apart from Picard Season 3 ). I hope they continue this as well.
As a Star Trek Fan since over 30 years i cant even say why i have tears in my eyes. Must be the most advanced face and expression art i have ever seen, thank you.
If this footage had been filmed for Generations in 1994 as post credit scenes the movie could have made more money & the fans would feel better about the Enterprise D Fate & getting to see Spock again,visiting in old friend who is gone.If this makes sense?!
I’ve watched this over and over…..each time I get goosebumps…. the nostalgia of seeing Spock is emotional and overwhelming…..we have to have more of this ❤
This is one of the best things I have ever seen 😭 Lifted right from beginning of William Shatners: Ashes of Eden trilogy, one of my favourite books. It's incredible to think that the technology and skilled people like you exist now to make those ideas into a film. Mind. Blown. Well done!!!
As a huge 61-year-old Star Trek fan, this actually got me choked up and brought tears to my eyes. Absolute piece of art, true in its form straight to the heart. Thank you for sharing.
What's the timeline of Starfleet going to get the D, and Spock visiting the planet? If it occurred soon after the crash wouldn't the original crew have known, and not have been surprised about later finding the D? Wasn't it only because many years had passed (when most were out of the loop) that no one knew it had been salvaged? If so, then Spock's visit is many years after the events on Veridian III, or rather not at the same time as the salvage?
@@Radeo In Picard Season 3 Jorde says he has spent the last 20 years rebuilding the D. Generations was in 2371 and Picard Season 3 is 2401 so Jorde was working on it from approx 2381 to 2401. I would bet that Star Fleet didn't leave the D sitting there on Veridian 3 for very long so I would say this takes place in 2371 or 2372 at the latest.
This legit makes Generations a little better. I want to know more... is this a sign of more to come? Or just a stand-alone story open to interpretation?
they should because in one of the books Captain Kirk' was bought back from the dead i think it was Star Trek: Spectre and if i remember right the borg was responsible
I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out, but i LOVE the attention to detail on Kirk's badge, you even included the weathering that was on the actual prop from the scene!
Because this is good Star Trek material post Berman, fanmade or not, which Paramount is somehow strongly against even though Star Trek is all that's keeping them afloat, and probably the only thing that'll give buying them out any value once they run out of money to do anything.
@@Fuzzycatfur With apparent popularity of Picard Season 3 vs the other seasons and other series I'm hoping Paramount lightens up on the fanmade content. I think they're realising they can't simply ignore the older fanbase and act as if these new versions have much appeal. They also realise they shouldn't follow in the footsteps of Disney/Star Wars or the MCU, which are dead or dying franchises while Star Trek still has enough of a fanbase left to revive itself should they choose to make Trek the way most viewers wanted it done.
@@FuzzycatfurGood? It's just a shuttle that goes to some ships working on the crashed Enterprise. Then a hand that clearly doesn't match the AI generated Spock that follows. And young Spock's eye movement looks so unreal. How is this good? Even if you give it a pass for being fan made, there isn't enough content here to really judge. It's like a students first year project. It's fun, but that's it.
I found Star Trek as a young girl of 12. All my life I have turned to Star Trek for sustenance. Decade after decade, it has been one of the great constants of my life. When I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, Star Trek was the only thing I could bear to watch. It was home, It is home. It will always be home. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. Thank you for this love letter, not just to Gene Roddenberry and Star Trek, but to all of us.
“There are always possibilities.” I’m beginning to wonder if maybe we’ll see the Shatnerverse on the big screen after all. Regardless of what path you choose, I just want you all to know you’ve done excellent work with what you’ve made so far, and I look forward to seeing what you’ll make in the future.
They have to move quickly, Shatner being 93 and all. I bet its the section 31 movie. This is the opening scene. He is on ice at the Section 31 station lying next to a device that has been proven to bring people back from the dead.
i thought the same with Kirks remains on Picard as well as this clip reminds me of the novel The Return by Wilam Shatner..All that is missing is the single tear in Spocks eye
This is incredible. All I can say is “Wow”. I’m a HUGE Trekkie but the possibilities here are endless. Amazing work! I hope we get to see more “new/old” Trek in the future.
Brought Tears To My Eyes, this was AWESOME!!! Kirk always said he die alone, and you can see it in Spock's eyes and his feelings of not being there for him in the time of death!!
@@jerrywinder7249 I think he's referring to the first time Kirk died, when he was trying to get that torpedo to work or whatever it was, during the beginning of Star Trek generations.
@@jerrywinder7249 It was still like dying alone, because none of his friends (Spock, McCoy, Scotty, etc.) were with him when he died. Dying with a stranger nearby is quite different than dying with friends/loved ones with you.
Same here!!! When he picked up his badge and stared into the camera scene I got all tore up!!! I watched Generations close to a hundred times now. I remember ALL that took place in that movie. The saucer crashing onto the surface to the fight between Kirk and Soran. I cried when Kirk died in front of Picard. I was in my late 20s then and now I’m 41. I grew up on Voyager so to say cause that’s the show I watched when I was growing up when it was on UPN.
I'm actually wondering what sort of state the underside of the Enterprise-D saucer was in when they lifted her up. I'd imagine lot of the hull under there must've ripped off from dragging along the surface and knocking down trees during that crash. Geordi sure would've had his work cut out for him there when restoring her.
I could see tritanium backed up by force fields being many times stronger than rock and trees, but I bet the phaser arrays and windows got absolutely ruined.
This might be the best Star Trek clip I've ever seen. The shows and movies are great, but this short clip elicited a seriously powerful emotional response. I'm sure it's because Leonard isn't around anymore, and it makes me emotional to see him years after the fact, but then to jump to young Spock from the Motion Picture era? And to see the original NCC-1701 crashing on the Genesis Planet? I'm really in a state of shock. This was beyond fantastic.
I kept waiting to hear Spock speak in his distinctive deep voice ...to even say just "Jim...." Spectacular work everyone! Just takes the breath away...!
Look up an AI startup called ElevenLabs, they use AI which can learn and recreate any voice which is fed as an audio data stream to it. More than likely they could accurately have recreated Nimoy's voice with all the recorded audio of him. Of course they would need the permission of his estate to do something like that but the quality and effect would be extremely cool.
I am 64 years of age and I watched Star Trek from the very beginning and I too am surprised and pleased with the excellent work and attention to detail here. This is such a faithful fan creation and I’m very glad this popped into my ‘Recommended List’. Thank you so much for a wonderful creation. Congratulations. You have made many fans truly happy.
This is amazing. Simply amazing. You guys and Matalas need to team up, Picard season 3 and this as a cherry on top is like an old flame walking up and throwing herself into our arms. Chef's Kiss!
Epic! So this is my take- everything we see up to spock flashing back is actually his past self seeing the future ( Kirk's death could have really created a strong psychic moment) and as he snaps back it's glimpse of the enterprises destruction ( his soul was connected to bones who saw her go down) then finally back to his present which is in the motion picture I'm guessing right after the whole VGER event and I bet after spock connected to vger threw mindmeld you know he gained something from that and I think its inhansed abilities for sure .So this this was way cool and a wild future to past tie in.
Unbelievable work. Truly remarkable and uplifting for this Trek fan... Thank You OTOY! I hope there is more to come from the Roddenberry Archives. If not, I'm still grateful for this video and your hard work!
Oh my, this gave me chills and then I got so misty-eyed at the reveal of Spock I had to clear my vision and go back and rewatch it a few more times. The effects are stunning, the CGI rendering is very well done and respectful. I'm not ashamed to say that I cried when the news of the late Leonard Nimoy's passing broke in a way I have seldom cried in my life because Spock played such an important role in my adolescence and the continued wisdom and kindness of Mr. Nimoy was deeply touching to me. I never "knew" him in the sense his close friends and family did and I wouldn't have claimed to but the character he gifted us all with, I knew the character very well and I was undoubtedly one of many young people who felt very connected to Spock for different and equally personal reasons. So, I've been missing HIS Spock on screen and mourning over the knowledge that I would never again see new material of Mr. Nimoy as Spock, and then this 2-minute clip came along and it just hit me right in the chest in the best sort of way. Thank you for this, it means so much!
This scene from the book reminds me of the line FROM the book, "Imagine what it must be like to lose a friend, and then to 78 years later, lose him again?" Powerful scene that does not require any dialogue.
This is the Star Trek I wish we’d get, at least in movies, today. It’s eerie yet mysterious, it’s slow yet suspenseful. No cliché effect or over-the-top action. The pace is just right and the story is a delight.
Clicked on a playlist cuz I wanted some background music while doing something else and then this pops up after 15 minutes of music. Stopped what I was doing and had to watch this three times. Brought tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat. Bless Gene Roddenberry for creating Spock and Leonard Nimoy for bringing him to life. And bless you all for this wonderful tribute.
Very impressive. The attention to detail with the little facial tics and expressions is really impressive. You really feel that Leonard is looking out at you rather than it being a clinical, soulless piece of CGI.
@@fraxis2007 Lawrence Selleck bares a near uncanny resemblance to Nimoy when he was young. What we saw is 100% prosthetics and make up to make him look exactly like Nimoy circa early 1990s and 1979. There's some behind the scenes shots of him in the make up chair. If there's any CGI involved, it's mostly for touch up purposes.
Honestly, watching this whole clip from beginning to end, it makes you feel nostalgic, fills you with grief, and brings a little smile to your face. Seeing Spock retrieve Kirk's delta badge from Veridian III, that moment where he's staring out his apartment window, and the one that hit me the most: the sight of the original Enterprise at the end of _The Search for Spock_, that one hit me the most. Though it leaves me wondering, did Spock believe that the Enterprise may still be out there, waiting to be brought home, as the Enterprise-D was? What could that brief reappearance of the Enterprise's final moments mean? I guess we'll never know. All I will say is that this was a welcome appearance by Spock, and I could not have been happier to see the original best first officer in Starfleet one more time. Rest in peace Leonard Nimoy. Live Long, and Prosper...🖖
I think what it is trying to be convey is Spock's guilt. When old Spock retrieves Kirk's badge, he thinks back to all that Kirk sacrificed to bring him back (represented by the burning Enterprise - A). Spock learning that, during all those years since Kirk "died" on the Enterprise - B, he was actually in the Nexus and could have been brought back, further adds to his guilt.
I am in awe over what all of you have done. You have taken Gene Roddenberry's vision and improved upon it considerably. My aunt, when she was alive, was a huge Star Trek fan. Her most prized possession was an autographed picture of Leonard Nimoy as Spock. She would have been sobbing if she saw this and she would have said thank you for making this happen. I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say - give us more.
I love how this addresses the two greatest losses to the TOS and TNG fan base, inextricably linked. And here, in 2 minutes without words, the wounds are being cleaned, with a nod to stitching them up. Beautiful work.
I can't describe the emotions I felt watching this for the first time. This is so beautifully crafted and ties in wonderfully with Shatners best books 'The Ashes of Eden and The Return'. Please continue this fantastic work and thank you to everyone involved 🙏
Absolutely sent shivers down my spine!! I would love to see another movie with a mesh original Star Trek and the next generation. Him picking up Kirk's rank and starring at it brings a lot of emotions!! Love this!!❤❤❤
@@iamoctonate Picard S1 and S2 should stay. They make S3 that much better. Ignoring them undercuts what was done here, and also tarnishes Picard S3's entire existence. Particularly with an entirely new villain about to be revealed whenever Star Trek Legacy is begun. Perhaps this ties in to that enemy?
@@shauntempley9757 You can almost watch season 3 even ignoring the TNG movies and it works perfectly. Seasons 1 and 2 don't add anything but contempt for TNG original characters and Rodenberry's vision and new uninteresting characters. You can see 3 ignoring they killed Picard and Data and enjoy it so very much more.
This is amazing! When I watched Picard and saw the crew reunited on the bridge of 1701-D I actually cried which I didn't expect. That's how good it felt. This featurette hits me in the same place.
This is SO fantastic...!! SO REAL...!! It's wonderful to SEE Leonard Nimoy again, as never seen, so realistically recreated...!! It's a glimpse to the future...!! It warms the almost cold heart of an already long time fan...!! 🥲🥲🥲🥲 As ever, I can't wait to see more, and more, and more...!!!
I loved this video and wouldn't mind small tributes. But we will have the ability to render whole movies with dead actors. Indistinguishable from reality. Not really a fan of it going that far.
That shot of the Enterprise falling into Genesis’s atmosphere during the events of STIII. Love it! Love the video. Though, I’m a little puzzled why Spock’s wearing a TMP uniform when that was before STIII.
The only real question here is which reveal elicited more emotion -- the immense hull of NCC-1701-D's saucer, or the OG Spock paying respects to his captain and friend. Just a brilliant piece of short filmmaking. Much love!
Wow, this is powerful. I teared up seeing this. Not only was the 1701-d a huge part of my childhood, but watching reruns of tos with my dad was how I got into star trek in the first place. This was short but it was so well done and said so much. The creators of this definitely had trek in their hearts. I'm glad that trek is coming back again.
I didnt know i wanted this So Much. The first glimpse of the edge of the saucer from the underside...and i just knew what was happening. Seeing that figure from behind, heading towards Kirk's grave... man. This was fantastic and wonderful and Thank You. Got me right in the feels.
Very impressive... and ties in beautifully with the rebirth of the Enterprise-D shown in the final episode of Star Trek: Picard! Congratulations to all involved, including the actor playing Mr. Spock - Lawrence Selleck!
I'm not crying...are you crying? That completely, utterly, emotionally overwhelmed me. The clip with Spock was amazing. What got me was the damage path from the Enterprise-D, plus them getting ready to tow the saucer section, knowing what we know from watching season 3 of Star Trek Picard...just WOW!
WOW that’s simply amazing and stunning. I’m totally flashed and I would love to see that as after the credits in the movie „Star Trek - Generations“ Thanks for this wonderful job 😍
I gasped when he turned around and saw his face. The video was beautiful. Thanks to all who worked to produce it. It was like hearing the musical intro to the first ST movie back in 1979. I will admit that I cried sitting in that theatre in that moment. Here too. I didn't watch Picard, after the first episode. I guess I just wanted to remember the good times when Roddenberry was still in charge.
What an astonishing piece of work. My childhood was one long fascination with the Original Series and the movies it spawned - this is a beautiful tribute, and I don't know if I have the words to sum up my feelings right now. That moment when the robed figure picked up the Starfleet badge...
It seems heavily inspired by scenes at the beginning and end of Shatner's book "The Ashes of Eden", which got expanded upon at the start of "The Return".

Continue to live long and prosper 💪🖖
I have to admit that I was genuinely and strongly moved by the image of Spock. I'm old too, I watched every episode on NBC starting with 'The Man Trap' as it aired for the first time. This is some amazing creation.
I cannot agree more!
When it comes to Sci Fi topic Star trek series can easily be considered as a game changer .👽💯 There is no doubt about it 🙏
You took the words right out of my mouth this is amazing it was obviously done perfectly there's just no other way to describe it.
stunning. it's sad that so few of the original actors are left. very respectful recreation of Leonard Nimoy's Spock - still struggling with emotions.
I have to admit this brings a tear to the eye - must be getting old.
RIP Spock🌌
"It's sad that so few of the original actors are left" Which is why I'm DYING to have one last visit with them together in Trek, however it happens. Even if Shatner and Takei have to do their work in separate rooms, I just want one last new thing with them before it's too late.
I am sobbing mathematically
same friend
Emotions? Spock would not approve. ;)
We must ALL be getting old then
I watched it 10 times and still get chills. That slight change in Spock's expression tells us he's in tremendous emotional pain. It's the Vulcan equivalent of dropping to your knees and sobbing. It's so well done, exactly how I would have expected Leonard Nimoy to do it.
I feel you.
Well you have to remember Kirk and Spock were friends for decades during their journeys on the Enterprise and remember what Spock said near the end of Star Trek 2:The Wrath of Khan just before he died 'I have been and forever shall be your friend' and remember what Deanna Troi said that Vulcans have the same feelings we do they just learned to suppress them going through the ritual called the 'Kolihnar' the ritual to suppress all emotions.
It’s not real.
@@EnfieldNo4 You're not real
@@nicholasmorsovillo2752incorrect. Control and suppression of emotions yes, but not every Vulcan goes through the Kholinar. That is a top level discipline that few get to. Spock failed in his attempt.
Just stunningly beautiful. We can see that, in spite of Spock's character, so many emotions here are being struggled with. This was a TRUE masterpiece of work and art.
This actually makes up for Shatner's deleted scene in Star Trek (2009). Seeing Spock grapple with these emotions. Knowing he could have seen his friend one last time, after almost a century. Losing him again. And not being there either time. Heartbreaking. Every part of this is so well done. The teaser at the end has me itching for this TMP-era Spock and Colt story. What is it?! When will we see it?? I'm eager and anxious to see.
Next we'll be expecting William Shatners appearance. I mean, what are they planning on with Kirk's dead body? Resurrect him? Clone him? 🤔
@@blinkenschnaag777 Kirk has been resurrected before in the return
Shatner never filmed any scenes for Trek 2009. He'd been in preliminary discussions to appear in both 2009 and Into Darkness, but it never happened, obviously.
@@brettcooper3893It was a scene that was scripted, but never shot. Spock Prime was supposed to give Spock a pendant with a holographic message inside: Shatner-as-Kirk wishing Spock happy birthday and pondering their place in their present and in their past. It was written well enough and would’ve been a great surprise cameo but, of course, Shatner didn’t wanna do it.
Less Shitner is always a good thing.
I genuinely had more of an emotional reaction from this short than nearly any blockbuster movie from the last 10 years or so. The amount of passion that has been poured into this is obvious, thank you to all involved.
word
Does anyone know who did the music here? It’s haunting and sells it more😮
Apart from the first 2009 reboot and Season 3 Picard. The bastardisation and destruction of Star Trek has really upset me.... this was done with love, reverend, respect and honour....
Well, it does require the story building and character building that leads up to this scene, otherwise it wouldn't mean the same emotionally.
It would be kinda confusing and not really mean anything if you don't know what happened before this
@@AndrooUK indeed....... it's funny, pre Kurtzman Trek, I loved the show but say I was emotionally attached...... watching its destruction impacted me far more than I thought it would
Wow. The attention to detail in the ship, face, uniform, and EVERYTHING, it’s absolutely perfect. This 2 minute clip is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen from Star Trek.
Ngl I cried a little
The acting is an absolute masterclass. How to portray a range of emotions without resorting to crying like a baby or screeching like a banshee. Modern Trek actors would do well to watch this and learn.
@@s2kdriver It's taken from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, after he's back in his body and he's struggling to recognize Kirk and the rest. Nimoy was brilliant, he always controlled Spock's power, versus the overheated mess of whatshisname. It's a shame they didn't invest in finding a hand model/actor, those are So not Nimoy's hands... and we remember those things. /old Trekkie
Came here to say this
@One Issue Voter Spock here is played by an actor, the used 3d rendering of spocks face from earlier movies to create a mask for the actor. They also enhanced the actors appearance digitally.
Spock's memory of the The Enterprise being destroyed by Kirk, on the Genesis planet, to save his accelerated aging body, in order to return his Katra to him on Vulcan, that had been transferred to McCoy. The memory in Spock seems to be in a younger version of him on a star base -- as opposed to the older Spock visiting Veridian III where Kirk was buried -- so much information in a 2 minute clip ---with such precise likeness makes the story so real. Absolutely amazing.
It really is. As I sat and thought about this for a few minutes the possibilities unfolded gently, beautifully, piece by piece. For a two-minute clip the density of ideas here is as stunning as the visuals, and the mournful score. You suddenly realise its tantalising parallels - the symmetry between two friends, each having been, at different moments in time, alone, mourning the death of the other. The destruction of Enterprise D associated with the death of Kirk, somehow triggering a vision of the loss of the original 1701 after the death of Spock. The momentary seeming psychic link between his older and younger selves, and the perception of two ship losses neither of which he actually witnessed, is fascinating. Then you recall the title "Resurrection" - initially that was only about Spock's rebirth in ST III. Then you remember The Return, and then you remember the revelation in Picard season 3 at Daystrom Station, and realise it's pointing to that possibility, too. By now the ideas are tumbling over themselves in my head - my mind is racing as to whether Spock could/would do the same for Kirk as Kirk did for him, continuing to fulfil this mysterious symmetry that somehow exists across space and time between these two friends. Would it be his past self who acts? The one who just received a vision of the future? Did old Spock communicate to him in that moment the knowledge of having met Picard, and how might this inform younger Spock's action? Then you remember the end of ST III: "You came back for me... why would you do this?" and Kirk's reply "You would've done the same for me." 😱🤩 *Literal* shivers. Tears. I can't believe how clever and elegant and dense this short film is - it set my imagination racing, and made me very happy. Thank you so much to everyone involved in creating it such an ingenious and loving tribute - one of the most delightful, perfect additions to the Trek universe and my personal head canon I've ever seen. ❤
@@whalemonstre It was incredible but I'm still wrapping my head around the flashback to younger Spock. Where is he and why are we taken to that moment in time? Looks like Motion Picture era I'm just not sure of the significance.
Younger Spock was post events of V'ger and prior to his promotion to Captain. He still had commander's stripes on his sleeves.
@@whalemonstre exactly -- Spock would do the same for Kirk as he had done for him -- the feeling I got as well. It's interesting indeed. ;-)
It makes me wonder if Spock had anything to do with Kirk's body being preserved on Daystrom station.
I grew up watching Star Trek TOS with my mom and Spock was her favorite character. Leonard Nimoy passed away a week after she did, but my first reaction to hearing about it was to call her. I've never cried because of a celebrities death before that, but that day I broke down. Seeing him again, even if it was a digital copy still made me cry.
This is beyond perfect. Having watched Spocks reaction to Sarek's passing in TNG's Unification is both the same and different all in one. With Sarek's passing, Spock was both bitter and sad that his father had passed away, and yet he felt he did not know him as well as he'd like to have. In this instance, Spock is reacting to an extremely close friend, who risked everything to bring him back. The opening shot of this video makes us realise the true damage caused by the Enterprise's landing, something we didn't see too well in the movie due to CGI still being in its early days for this sort of stuff, and there was more of a budget to work to. But the recovery ties in very nicely with what we got to see at the end of Picard, season 3. Just two things I wished were different - Picard's line in the movie ".....but unfortunately, the Enterprise D cannot be salvaged." And also, that Leonard was still with us, so he could enjoy this masterpiece with us.
Thank you for making an old fan shed a tear.
This genuinely made me tear up. It is wonderful to see the aftermath of Generations with the emotional weight its events deserve. Seeing the late-70s era Spock and the negative space in that last shot is what made me lose it slightly. I always felt it was a great shame to have Spock be still around in the 24th century and yet miss out on him seeing his apparently long-dead friend one last time. Whatever Roddenberry Archive wants to do with this technology, please make it worthwhile, it has the potential to provide closure to the franchise and give it back some of its dignity.
Hear hear!
Preach.
After the epic resurrection of the Enterprise D from the finale of Picard season 3 now we are treated to a glimpse of when they were recovering her after 29 years. I can’t believe we get to see Nimoy again and his Spock reacting to his dear friend’s death, this is some closure I needed. I always felt Kirk’s death was so…. lacking from both how he died and afterwards.
You should see shatner’s borg novels
Picard is trash disguise as trek
@@smileygabe22 Any reasons? I thought the story was okay, but the effects/lighting/sets were very Kurtzman.
Edit: I was talking about S3. S1-S2 didn't even occure to me.
@@smileygabe22 S1 and 2 were the worst ever, S3 with new showrunner and writers was far better. Not perfect, but as good as we could have gotten to fix the mess the previous made.
I remember Rick Berman saying he wanted all of the original crew for the Enterprise-B scenes. All but Wm. Shatner, James Doohan and Walter Koenig declined, but if this scene had been a post-credits scene for “Generations”, it would had been a great way for Leonard Nimoy to had participated.
Even if it was a post-credit scene with both Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelly as Ambassador Spock and retired ADM Leonard McCoy paying their final respects to James T. Kirk.
How a 2 minute video has made a 40 year old man cry like a baby is beyond me. This is MY Trek, and evidently is the Trek Terry Matalas is interested in making. Continuity matters and is full of golden opportunity to fill in gaps and expand and explore. #StarTrekLegacy 🙏🏻😭
Amen.
Right there with you. Only thing i don't get - why the combination of teh A descending to planet genesis while we are seeing a TMP Spock as those events had not yet happened for him. Any thoughts?
if you take the tng crew out of picard season 3 it's really not a good story at all. i feel like terry matalas wasted an insane opportunity by not having a completely kickass original story to go along with bringing them all back together but it seems like the creativeness in the story doesn't matter that much to alot of people. strange to me.
@@funghoul9124 Yes I completely agree. The people praising Matalas are delusional. All we really got was fan service, without any true substance to it. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed seeing the Enterprise D set, but this isn't enough to make me say it was a good season. It was a terrible season.
Completely agree!
I simply cannot find the words to accurately describe how this made me feel. The crashed 1701-D saucer section, the music, the emotions just below the surface of Spock's expression, all executed to perfection. Seeing this brought tears to my eyes.
Live long and prosper.
🖖
I'm turning also 40 and I'm crying too. I grew up watching Kirk and his crew and i do I love it. I have watched this video so many times and it is important. Family and friends. Thanks for this.
How can a man who has purged himself of all emotion evoke so much of it in others just by showing his face? Brilliant.
Spock has devoted himselve to logic and selve controll, but by no means are his emotions purged. And especially old spock learned to appreceate his emotions. You can especially see that in Star Trek 6.
Spock regected the Kolihnar. He absolutely did not purge his emotions.
Remember when Spock grabbed Kirk , and yelled JIM!!!! Had such a happy face, cause he thought Kirk was dead?
Inverse opposites have always affected their counterparts with what they choose to control in themselves.
@@Progger11 To be fair, he made it all the way to the final ritual, or so the movie seems to suggest. He was extremely successful in working through his emotions. Mind you, I do not disagree but just felt I'd add to your comment.
I literally had goosebumps when Kirk's grave appeared and I saw the hooded figure. But then seeing Leonard's/Spock's face... Right in the feels.
That isn't Nimoy but another actor. Check the link in the description.
@@TheSwedeMoffo
I know. But this means just as much to me as Luke appearing in mandalorian.
The goosebumps started with D's saucer, maybe even a little of the rut it dug, but yeah, with ya on that.
Visiting the final resting place of his best friend.....
@@trilobite2500 well said.
Since 1966 I have been and always will be a Trek fan. Thank you for sharing this with us...seeing that look on Spock feeling of love and lose of his friend Jim Kirk made me tear up
Same here. I grew up in the 80's, watching re-runs of TOS, and became a life long fan ever since.
I am 50 years old.
I am sobbing to see this moment out of time.
Leonard Nimoy's Spock is part of my soul.
totally agree me to
You and me both, brother. 🖖
Yep. Reminds me of going to see Star Trek 3, thinking, oh this will be fun, and they began the film with that letterbox of Spock's death, and I wept before eating my popcorn. 🙁
Very well done. We may assume the flashbacks are Spock recalling the first time he heard of Kirk's supposed death on the Enterprise B, and the great sacrifice that was made to by the crew to bring Spock back after Genesis... Fascinating.
You are not alone.
If you're 50 years old and this makes you sob and lose control of yourself you really need to get a grip on reality and yourself.
I mean if this makes you cry imagine how unstable you must seem to the people around you in your life. You would literally be scaring them and making them insecure and cause them damage.
I wish this level of passion and attention to detail could be put into any of the series or movies of the last 20 years
Its 500 yards in diameter.
Wow! Holy crap! This needs to be a movie. The Nimoy likeness is crazy. Can’t wait to see more! Phenomenal job!
Spock is CGI! Not a doppelganger... lol
@@DrMJT That’s what I meant by likeness.
@@MrVaderj I am more intrigued by the car and the road in the Background at 0:54 :D
Yeah, but remember when Spock was greenish?
@@DrMJT No! The actor's name is Lawrence Sellek, and he is in makeup.
Just want to thank OTOY and Chris (frank) Gore for bringing this to our attention on FNT (Vegas) Spock was so good, so very good. I got the feels not just for Spock but remembering Lenard and how that human emotional side slipped out every now and again. This is what I miss this kind of talent, commitment and character. What a superlative Job in this quiet bit of memory and art. Thank you again.
Hail FNT!
@@jasonlewis8233 Hail! FNT my friend.
This is cool! And Spock is played by an actor with prosthetic mask and blended with visual effects from footage. And he is quite convincing even without the CGI - at least in still image.
Yeah everyone thinks this is pure CGI, but actually the actor has an incredible likeness to Leonard Nmoy IRL. Theyve just closed the last 10% with makeup which has insanely good results. This actor can literally cash n on his genetics if he sticks with star trek projects...
I thought the face was AI. There are many creators using AI to generate lifelike images of people from history.
Well something about him was off putting to me. Reminded me of Lea and Takin in Rouge One or Luke at the end of mando S2.
@@ShadowwingMD My brain said the eyes were a bit different from Nimoy's eyes. Even so, I will say the overall effect was good.
Just like joe biden
This is amazing. I cannot believe the perfect attention to detail and the look of complete realism. Please go further with this. As a 44 year Trek fan, seeing new TMP era footage literally brought tears to my eyes. You have something special going here. Please go further with this. All of the decades old fans will be eternally grateful.
41 and grown up watching Trek with my bro and this has more heart than anything I have seen in a long time in the franchise ( apart from Picard Season 3 ). I hope they continue this as well.
As a Star Trek Fan since over 30 years i cant even say why i have tears in my eyes.
Must be the most advanced face and expression art i have ever seen, thank you.
What a perfect , post credit scene for Generations this would be! Blown away by this . Absolutely beautiful!
except the post credit scene would have been better than the movie itself
If this footage had been filmed for Generations in 1994 as post credit scenes the movie could have made more money & the fans would feel better about the Enterprise D Fate & getting to see Spock again,visiting in old friend who is gone.If this makes sense?!
I’ve watched this over and over…..each time I get goosebumps…. the nostalgia of seeing Spock is emotional and overwhelming…..we have to have more of this ❤
This is one of the best things I have ever seen 😭 Lifted right from beginning of William Shatners: Ashes of Eden trilogy, one of my favourite books. It's incredible to think that the technology and skilled people like you exist now to make those ideas into a film. Mind. Blown.
Well done!!!
As a huge 61-year-old Star Trek fan, this actually got me choked up and brought tears to my eyes. Absolute piece of art, true in its form straight to the heart. Thank you for sharing.
This is incredible.
Ties perfectly into the D being restored and Kirk's remains being ending up at Daystrom.
Bingo
I was going to say the same thing.
💯
What's the timeline of Starfleet going to get the D, and Spock visiting the planet?
If it occurred soon after the crash wouldn't the original crew have known, and not have been surprised about later finding the D?
Wasn't it only because many years had passed (when most were out of the loop) that no one knew it had been salvaged?
If so, then Spock's visit is many years after the events on Veridian III, or rather not at the same time as the salvage?
@@Radeo In Picard Season 3 Jorde says he has spent the last 20 years rebuilding the D. Generations was in 2371 and Picard Season 3 is 2401 so Jorde was working on it from approx 2381 to 2401. I would bet that Star Fleet didn't leave the D sitting there on Veridian 3 for very long so I would say this takes place in 2371 or 2372 at the latest.
This legit makes Generations a little better. I want to know more... is this a sign of more to come? Or just a stand-alone story open to interpretation?
It looks like the first scene from a novel - “The Return”. A very, very good read.
So seriously, are they and the Roddenberry Archive making a movie with this stuff? Because they should.
Yes, it'd be sacrilege if they don't.
I think they're definitely trying to show off the technology
And figuring out if the fans will respond well to it
@@mjmjr91 With today's tech anything is possible.
@@mjmjr91 This fan is responding extraordinarily well to it!
they should because in one of the books Captain Kirk' was bought back from the dead i think it was Star Trek: Spectre and if i remember right the borg was responsible
I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out, but i LOVE the attention to detail on Kirk's badge, you even included the weathering that was on the actual prop from the scene!
Why is this unlisted, its one of the best pieces of work ive ever seen.
Probably trying not to get hit with copyright infringement by CBS/Paramount.
Because this is good Star Trek material post Berman, fanmade or not, which Paramount is somehow strongly against even though Star Trek is all that's keeping them afloat, and probably the only thing that'll give buying them out any value once they run out of money to do anything.
@@Fuzzycatfur With apparent popularity of Picard Season 3 vs the other seasons and other series I'm hoping Paramount lightens up on the fanmade content.
I think they're realising they can't simply ignore the older fanbase and act as if these new versions have much appeal.
They also realise they shouldn't follow in the footsteps of Disney/Star Wars or the MCU, which are dead or dying franchises while Star Trek still has enough of a fanbase left to revive itself should they choose to make Trek the way most viewers wanted it done.
@@FuzzycatfurGood? It's just a shuttle that goes to some ships working on the crashed Enterprise. Then a hand that clearly doesn't match the AI generated Spock that follows. And young Spock's eye movement looks so unreal. How is this good? Even if you give it a pass for being fan made, there isn't enough content here to really judge. It's like a students first year project. It's fun, but that's it.
@@SweetZombiJesusthis is actually linked to the Roddenberry archive and not a fan animation. I also dare you to do any better.
I found Star Trek as a young girl of 12. All my life I have turned to Star Trek for sustenance. Decade after decade, it has been one of the great constants of my life. When I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, Star Trek was the only thing I could bear to watch. It was home, It is home. It will always be home. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. Thank you for this love letter, not just to Gene Roddenberry and Star Trek, but to all of us.
Damn who made this deserves an award 💯
Spock seemed almost emotional and about to shed a tear over the loss of his friend. Loved every sec.
Well, it's the second time he's truly lost Kirk, and both times, he wasn't there for his friend. Gotta be rough.
..thought we were going to see a tear.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 yeah must be hard
@@davidevans3227 same man
i remember kirk said he'd be alone when he died..
“There are always possibilities.” I’m beginning to wonder if maybe we’ll see the Shatnerverse on the big screen after all. Regardless of what path you choose, I just want you all to know you’ve done excellent work with what you’ve made so far, and I look forward to seeing what you’ll make in the future.
Still my favorite series of Trek books.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought of the Ashes of Eden.
Why, the shatnerverse was horrible.
They have to move quickly, Shatner being 93 and all. I bet its the section 31 movie.
This is the opening scene.
He is on ice at the Section 31 station lying next to a device that has been proven to bring people back from the dead.
i thought the same with Kirks remains on Picard as well as this clip reminds me of the novel The Return by Wilam Shatner..All that is missing is the single tear in Spocks eye
This is incredible. All I can say is “Wow”. I’m a HUGE Trekkie but the possibilities here are endless. Amazing work! I hope we get to see more “new/old” Trek in the future.
Found this thanks to the Dave Cullen show. This is a thing of beauty! Subscribed and looking forward to watching the rest of this channel
Wow! This is amazing and so emotional!!!
VERY well done!!!
Brought Tears To My Eyes, this was AWESOME!!!
Kirk always said he die alone, and you can see it in Spock's eyes and his feelings of not being there for him in the time of death!!
Picard was with kirk when he died??
@@jerrywinder7249 I think he's referring to the first time Kirk died, when he was trying to get that torpedo to work or whatever it was, during the beginning of Star Trek generations.
@@jerrywinder7249 It was still like dying alone, because none of his friends (Spock, McCoy, Scotty, etc.) were with him when he died. Dying with a stranger nearby is quite different than dying with friends/loved ones with you.
@@ManabiLT But realistically though. Kirk and Picard are still hanging out together in the Nexus.
Once you go to the Nexus you're always in the Nexus.
Same here!!! When he picked up his badge and stared into the camera scene I got all tore up!!! I watched Generations close to a hundred times now. I remember ALL that took place in that movie. The saucer crashing onto the surface to the fight between Kirk and Soran. I cried when Kirk died in front of Picard. I was in my late 20s then and now I’m 41. I grew up on Voyager so to say cause that’s the show I watched when I was growing up when it was on UPN.
I'm actually wondering what sort of state the underside of the Enterprise-D saucer was in when they lifted her up. I'd imagine lot of the hull under there must've ripped off from dragging along the surface and knocking down trees during that crash. Geordi sure would've had his work cut out for him there when restoring her.
I could see tritanium backed up by force fields being many times stronger than rock and trees, but I bet the phaser arrays and windows got absolutely ruined.
couldn't he just use a massive replicator?
You can see it in the last episode of Picard. It has obviously been repaired but it's still seriously scuffed up.
I really doubt rocks and trees affected her that much. You saw the ditch she ended up leaving during the crash.
Scratched up and full of mud, I assure you. Been in a similar vehicle accident before. That's what happens.
I mean, the visuals here ARE stunning, but I absolutely adore the sound design in this. That kind of tone is what I want from Star Trek.
That small scene with the enterprise burning and spock reaction to that flash back is so compelling
This might be the best Star Trek clip I've ever seen. The shows and movies are great, but this short clip elicited a seriously powerful emotional response. I'm sure it's because Leonard isn't around anymore, and it makes me emotional to see him years after the fact, but then to jump to young Spock from the Motion Picture era? And to see the original NCC-1701 crashing on the Genesis Planet? I'm really in a state of shock. This was beyond fantastic.
Thats the -D garbage scow from ST:TNG, the original, and far more elegant ship was from the show in the 60s.
I kept waiting to hear Spock speak in his distinctive deep voice ...to even say just "Jim...." Spectacular work everyone! Just takes the breath away...!
Look up an AI startup called ElevenLabs, they use AI which can learn and recreate any voice which is fed as an audio data stream to it.
More than likely they could accurately have recreated Nimoy's voice with all the recorded audio of him.
Of course they would need the permission of his estate to do something like that but the quality and effect would be extremely cool.
Absolutely incredible. Unreal. So grateful to have been a PA on this project!!!
♥
beautiful. the entire archives project is a masterpiece. thank you.
I am 64 years of age and I watched Star Trek from the very beginning and I too am surprised and pleased with the excellent work and attention to detail here. This is such a faithful fan creation and I’m very glad this popped into my ‘Recommended List’. Thank you so much for a wonderful creation. Congratulations. You have made many fans truly happy.
Incredible. The transition from the elder Spock to the 2270's Spock in incredible. Leonard Nimoy would have been impressed.
RIP
This is amazing. Simply amazing. You guys and Matalas need to team up, Picard season 3 and this as a cherry on top is like an old flame walking up and throwing herself into our arms. Chef's Kiss!
I've watched this at least 9 times now. The scene that cuts from Old Spock to Young Spock still gives me goosebumps. I love real Star Trek
Epic! So this is my take- everything we see up to spock flashing back is actually his past self seeing the future ( Kirk's death could have really created a strong psychic moment) and as he snaps back it's glimpse of the enterprises destruction ( his soul was connected to bones who saw her go down) then finally back to his present which is in the motion picture I'm guessing right after the whole VGER event and I bet after spock connected to vger threw mindmeld you know he gained something from that and I think its inhansed abilities for sure .So this this was way cool and a wild future to past tie in.
Unbelievable work. Truly remarkable and uplifting for this Trek fan...
Thank You OTOY!
I hope there is more to come from the Roddenberry Archives. If not, I'm still grateful for this video and your hard work!
Oh my, this gave me chills and then I got so misty-eyed at the reveal of Spock I had to clear my vision and go back and rewatch it a few more times. The effects are stunning, the CGI rendering is very well done and respectful. I'm not ashamed to say that I cried when the news of the late Leonard Nimoy's passing broke in a way I have seldom cried in my life because Spock played such an important role in my adolescence and the continued wisdom and kindness of Mr. Nimoy was deeply touching to me. I never "knew" him in the sense his close friends and family did and I wouldn't have claimed to but the character he gifted us all with, I knew the character very well and I was undoubtedly one of many young people who felt very connected to Spock for different and equally personal reasons. So, I've been missing HIS Spock on screen and mourning over the knowledge that I would never again see new material of Mr. Nimoy as Spock, and then this 2-minute clip came along and it just hit me right in the chest in the best sort of way. Thank you for this, it means so much!
This scene from the book reminds me of the line FROM the book, "Imagine what it must be like to lose a friend, and then to 78 years later, lose him again?" Powerful scene that does not require any dialogue.
Hi!! Would you mind me asking which book? I don’t think I’ve read this one yet :)
@@beatrizcoelhodesoarez3288 Star Trek The Return, by William Shatner with Judith-Garfield Reeve Stevens
@@bombarde1701a thank you so much, I'll be sure to check it out!
This is the Star Trek I wish we’d get, at least in movies, today. It’s eerie yet mysterious, it’s slow yet suspenseful. No cliché effect or over-the-top action. The pace is just right and the story is a delight.
Clicked on a playlist cuz I wanted some background music while doing something else and then this pops up after 15 minutes of music. Stopped what I was doing and had to watch this three times. Brought tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat. Bless Gene Roddenberry for creating Spock and Leonard Nimoy for bringing him to life. And bless you all for this wonderful tribute.
Very impressive. The attention to detail with the little facial tics and expressions is really impressive. You really feel that Leonard is looking out at you rather than it being a clinical, soulless piece of CGI.
It's a lookalike actor, not a deepfake. Spock is being played by Lawrence Selleck.
@@jaybluff281 Yes. But I thought the actor's face was CGI/Deepfake enhanced. Is that not the case? I'm pretty certain it is.
@@fraxis2007 Lawrence Selleck bares a near uncanny resemblance to Nimoy when he was young. What we saw is 100% prosthetics and make up to make him look exactly like Nimoy circa early 1990s and 1979. There's some behind the scenes shots of him in the make up chair. If there's any CGI involved, it's mostly for touch up purposes.
Honestly, watching this whole clip from beginning to end, it makes you feel nostalgic, fills you with grief, and brings a little smile to your face. Seeing Spock retrieve Kirk's delta badge from Veridian III, that moment where he's staring out his apartment window, and the one that hit me the most: the sight of the original Enterprise at the end of _The Search for Spock_, that one hit me the most. Though it leaves me wondering, did Spock believe that the Enterprise may still be out there, waiting to be brought home, as the Enterprise-D was? What could that brief reappearance of the Enterprise's final moments mean? I guess we'll never know. All I will say is that this was a welcome appearance by Spock, and I could not have been happier to see the original best first officer in Starfleet one more time.
Rest in peace Leonard Nimoy. Live Long, and Prosper...🖖
I think what it is trying to be convey is Spock's guilt. When old Spock retrieves Kirk's badge, he thinks back to all that Kirk sacrificed to bring him back (represented by the burning Enterprise - A). Spock learning that, during all those years since Kirk "died" on the Enterprise - B, he was actually in the Nexus and could have been brought back, further adds to his guilt.
Congratulations to the team that worked on this, this is just too beautiful! Thank you.
I am in awe over what all of you have done. You have taken Gene Roddenberry's vision and improved upon it considerably. My aunt, when she was alive, was a huge Star Trek fan. Her most prized possession was an autographed picture of Leonard Nimoy as Spock. She would have been sobbing if she saw this and she would have said thank you for making this happen. I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say - give us more.
Wow this was amazing. They should do more shorts like this!
This is absolutely incredible! I have a tear in my eye and a loss of words. Well done! ❤
I am speechless. What a gift to us all! I miss Mr. Nimoy so much and not just because of Star Trek. A light shines on a cold and cruel world. LLAP 🌹
Amazing, you fulfilled a gap in the series we needed to see. You did it with master class and art, speechless
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this. You've made this Trekkie very happy.
Wow this is amazing! Brought a tear to my eye. Shared on Instagram.
I love how this addresses the two greatest losses to the TOS and TNG fan base, inextricably linked. And here, in 2 minutes without words, the wounds are being cleaned, with a nod to stitching them up. Beautiful work.
This is so good. Why is this so good? It literally makes Generations better for it.
I can't describe the emotions I felt watching this for the first time. This is so beautifully crafted and ties in wonderfully with Shatners best books 'The Ashes of Eden and The Return'.
Please continue this fantastic work and thank you to everyone involved 🙏
Absolutely sent shivers down my spine!! I would love to see another movie with a mesh original Star Trek and the next generation. Him picking up Kirk's rank and starring at it brings a lot of emotions!! Love this!!❤❤❤
I am blown away by this! There are no words to accurately describe how great this clip is!
Absolutely incredible! It's a perfect post-credits scene for Star Trek: Generations. I love the think of the future possibilities...
It certainly feels like the dark times in Star Trek history are ending and we're getting back to respecting the franchise. This looks beautiful.
Now if they could just put the entire Kurtzman era of Star Trek in its own universe everything would be great.
@@pferreira1983 With Discovery ending, we can all put it and Picard S1 and S2 in the same box we put Star Trek: The Animated Series... "Ignore"
@@iamoctonate Star Trek: The Animated Series was an awesome cartoon. I'll happily take that over anything from modern Star Trek.
@@iamoctonate Picard S1 and S2 should stay. They make S3 that much better.
Ignoring them undercuts what was done here, and also tarnishes Picard S3's entire existence.
Particularly with an entirely new villain about to be revealed whenever Star Trek Legacy is begun. Perhaps this ties in to that enemy?
@@shauntempley9757 You can almost watch season 3 even ignoring the TNG movies and it works perfectly. Seasons 1 and 2 don't add anything but contempt for TNG original characters and Rodenberry's vision and new uninteresting characters. You can see 3 ignoring they killed Picard and Data and enjoy it so very much more.
Omg 🥲 more please this is brilliant!!! Feels so real so right.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is amazing! When I watched Picard and saw the crew reunited on the bridge of 1701-D I actually cried which I didn't expect. That's how good it felt. This featurette hits me in the same place.
you might wanna reserve your tears for something real in your life.. this is a dumb TV show
Absolutely stunning, well done to everyone involved with the making of this and the archive. What a talented bunch of people.
This is SO fantastic...!! SO REAL...!! It's wonderful to SEE Leonard Nimoy again, as never seen, so realistically recreated...!! It's a glimpse to the future...!! It warms the almost cold heart of an already long time fan...!! 🥲🥲🥲🥲
As ever, I can't wait to see more, and more, and more...!!!
I loved this video and wouldn't mind small tributes. But we will have the ability to render whole movies with dead actors. Indistinguishable from reality. Not really a fan of it going that far.
That shot of the Enterprise falling into Genesis’s atmosphere during the events of STIII. Love it! Love the video. Though, I’m a little puzzled why Spock’s wearing a TMP uniform when that was before STIII.
The only real question here is which reveal elicited more emotion -- the immense hull of NCC-1701-D's saucer, or the OG Spock paying respects to his captain and friend. Just a brilliant piece of short filmmaking. Much love!
Wow, this is powerful. I teared up seeing this. Not only was the 1701-d a huge part of my childhood, but watching reruns of tos with my dad was how I got into star trek in the first place. This was short but it was so well done and said so much. The creators of this definitely had trek in their hearts. I'm glad that trek is coming back again.
Christ but that really hit me. I'm a life-long Trekkie but that 2 min vid adds layers of depth to Star Trek. Fantastic work 👏
I didnt know i wanted this So Much. The first glimpse of the edge of the saucer from the underside...and i just knew what was happening.
Seeing that figure from behind, heading towards Kirk's grave... man.
This was fantastic and wonderful and Thank You. Got me right in the feels.
The saucer is 500 yards in diameter.
Very impressive... and ties in beautifully with the rebirth of the Enterprise-D shown in the final episode of Star Trek: Picard! Congratulations to all involved, including the actor playing Mr. Spock - Lawrence Selleck!
I'm not crying...are you crying? That completely, utterly, emotionally overwhelmed me. The clip with Spock was amazing. What got me was the damage path from the Enterprise-D, plus them getting ready to tow the saucer section, knowing what we know from watching season 3 of Star Trek Picard...just WOW!
Not one word spoken yet a lifetime of emotions and friendship encapsulated so beautifully. Thank you.
Dave Cullen show sent me.
This did not disappoint. Absolutely amazing.
Magnificent job! This brought a tear to me eye with some goosebumps. Hope to see more!!
My God, this is technology that would appear to be magic to people only a dozen years ago. Well done ! ❤
Brilliant, Spock always gets to me. The original series crew is the way to go. This is exceptional. I was genuinely moved.
Great work! You people have made my day! Looking forward to more!
WOW that’s simply amazing and stunning. I’m totally flashed and I would love to see that as after the credits in the movie „Star Trek - Generations“ Thanks for this wonderful job 😍
So glad OTOY put this video back up. Amazing.
I’m thinking this is a proof-of-concept, or a demo to show how good Octane Render is. But it absolutely deserves to be a fan film.
I gasped when he turned around and saw his face. The video was beautiful. Thanks to all who worked to produce it. It was like hearing the musical intro to the first ST movie back in 1979. I will admit that I cried sitting in that theatre in that moment. Here too. I didn't watch Picard, after the first episode. I guess I just wanted to remember the good times when Roddenberry was still in charge.
What an astonishing piece of work. My childhood was one long fascination with the Original Series and the movies it spawned - this is a beautiful tribute, and I don't know if I have the words to sum up my feelings right now. That moment when the robed figure picked up the Starfleet badge...
In hindsight, I think Spock would have investigated what the Nexus Ribbon was and made every attempt to save Kirk.
It would only be logical
Good for you
This short movie is more Star Trek than all episodes of Star Trek Discovery.
It seems heavily inspired by scenes at the beginning and end of Shatner's book "The Ashes of Eden", which got expanded upon at the start of "The Return".
Not much competition there.
"As your teacher Mr Spock is always fond of saying, there are always possibilities."
