It's gone...
One of the things that's way off in the newer films is its missing the love everybody had for the ship. Abrams said in an interview that he didn't care about the Enterprise. It wasn't a character. He was focused on the characters. He was wrong. The ship was always important. That was their home.
Wow that explains A LOT.
Such an odd outlook to have. *Enterprise* has always, famously been one of the main characters -I think it's part of the "wooden ships and iron men" DNA of the franchise. Wherever it came, its very, very strange to enter into making *star trek* films without understanding that.
I mean, has the man never watched more than five minutes of any of the original movies?
Excellent point. JJ's treatment of the Enterprise was cursory and in fact disrespectful. Remember the scene where Young Kirk looks at a starship under construction while riding his motorcycle? That was the perfect time to cue the opera and give the fans an indulgent look. The CGI was amazing but we only got an oblique view that lasted a few short seconds. No wonder ST is dead. And no wonder SW is going in the same direction.
You are so right. The Enterprise (original refit and few versions after) should be treated as an awesome character in the movies. The Enterprise D in Next Gen. was always prominiently featured in many episodes as a great flagship. In the movies, they should be embracing the power and high tech of the Enterprise and all her great features, instead of just blowing up Enterprises every other movie, like it was no big deal. (We will just build another one.) Fans need to feel great when they see a majestic looking Enterprise (any version) winning battles like in the old days fighting Borg etc., not just the loose character building of the crew in JJ Abrams, mostly all action oriented.
JJ knows nothing about Trek.
JJ is a Hack. He couldn’t produce an original piece of work if his life depended on it. I wonder which iconic sci-fi he’s going to butcher next? There can’t be that many left.
Absolutely the best version of the Enterprise to date. To the people who have an opinion that this scene is way too long just don't get it. The ship is and has always been one of the main characters.
Absolutely. Can't agree with you enough.
So true. While Star Wars was much more about the underlying story, it would have gone nowhere without the cutting edge special effects... particularly the ships and space scenes. This was even more true with Star Trek. I still remember the first time I saw The Search for Spock and the huge lump in my throat when Kirk self-destructed the Enterprise.
I was 9yrs. old when I watched the televised Star Trek series as it was broadcast on our black and white TV. I didn't see a single episode in color until re-runs... I am now 63yrs. old. When Star Trek was cancelled I went into a depression. It was providing what I needed as a 9yr. old intersex, gay boy who totally identified with Spock - being half Vulcan and half human and having to put up with hyper-emotional reactionary bullcrap when logic, reason, analysis and compassion SHOULD have been the order of every day- and did when he was back home. Yet, he managed and excelled! IDIC meant the world to me. My Dad - ever my champion and with unconditional love, helped me use what I'd found in Star Trek to forge a place in a world that tried to claim people like me didn't even exist even though... there I was and still am! So.... in 1979, my last year in college... when we FINALLY saw our beloved ship, with all it's significance, hope for all, and after waiting over 10yrs. to see it again... we could have watched a whole movie JUST about the ship. I will never forget the energy in the theatre, the breathless wonder. There was actually a sob. The "owners" of Star Trek don't get it. They still don't get it. As a result they don't make the money they could, they don't get the backing they should, and they try to get away with barely producing what their audience would eat 10x more of. They never understood that the more they give to Trek, the more the fans will give back to it. They need a Ferengi business adviser. Or a good swift kick in the head.
Exactly. The Enterprise is just as important as the human and Vulcan crew members on board her. She is like a mother to her crew.
Totally agree. I hate discovery but love this era and this beautiful ship with its amazing crew. Long live NCC 1701, no bloody AB C or D. 😉
I remember seeing this in the theater and the tears that welled up in my eyes as the Enterprise turned on her running lights for the first time. I'm 72 now and I still got misty-eyed at that sight. May the Enterprise fly on forever!
tkmoffatt. I feel the same. I saw it in a theater.
Glad to.know im not alone tearing up for me its seeing her as the workbee aproaches the rear the people who designed the ship did a amazing job
Saw it the first day in the theater - still love it - best part of the movie!
Same here, brother! What a time for science fiction cinema that was, such amazing craftsmanship.
I was 10 when I saw this on the big screen in 1979. The best scene of the film. I was spellbound.
I never wasted 10 minutes and 41 seconds of my life with such joy.
TMP is never a waste
It's Never a Waste of time for Me!
How is it wasted
Wasted ?
No
Enjoyed
Yes
Same here
"Leaving Drydock" is and will always be THE theme of Star Trek and one of the humanity's anthems to space.
If not THE anthem.
They should play that when they leave the space station for Mars!
Saw this at age 11 back in 79. Now at 51, this has never never gotten old! I still get a sense of pride viewing that beautiful ship!!!
I was 9, and still cry at the sight of it. I love this video!
I remember the feeling of awe, seeing that ship on the big screen. Beautiful!!
There has never been a sexier ship to fly the stars anywhere than the Enterprise from "Star Trek: The Motion Picture."
@@dogenjinn4806 facts!!!!!
This scene is classic.... Why don't modern star trek makers do such kind of scenes
I can never get enough of the Enterprise refit. The power and majesty of this ship is a wonder to behold!
And yet the federation turned it into a training ship. That's like giving a Lamborghini to the highschool for drivers Ed.
This CGI has absolutely no business looking this good despite being 8 years old. What a fantastic piece of work by the designer. Truly how is it that it has aged so well after 8 YEARS?!?!?!?
No cheap trick.
Old tools in the right hands can still run circles around new tools in the wrong hands.
But seriously, insane good looking cgi, really makes me want to try to learn enough of Blender's workflow to attempt a scene inspired by this, even if I need to use my own ship models or base it on an entirely different universe, perhaps the Bobiverse books...
Way back in 2012 we weren't living in zinc-plated vacuum tubed culture complete with bearskins and knives.
This is what you get when someone loves what they do, and the material they are working with.
Extremely LAZY stealing someone else's work and music score. I don't Care how old it is.
This is a 10 minute long love letter to the Starship Enterprise and her crew.
I guess that's why I like it.
and we're all signing that letter :D. enterprise, the word is given
We will all love the Enterprise and all ways will forever at least I know I will
Please! The dialog is absolutely terrible, and you can see the strings holding the ship up!!!
Kidding!:)
In my 50 year old heart, I know that this ship is where my heart belongs. Long live arts and science. Long live our imagination. Long live Star Trek! 💕✌️❤️
I maybe 32, but long live Star Trek and art! 🖖
Have been a fan from the very beginning and fortunate enough to have visited the set of the TV Show, and worked in STTMP as an Enterprise Crew Person, this entire scene just makes me cry...so perfect...so beautiful...so ENTERPRISE!
Estoy de acuerdo!!
No hablo inglés, pero creo que le entendí!
😁👍🏅
This was one hell of a great scene. I remember being in the theater an opening weekend and when it came time for the ship to leave Dry Dock Enterprise begin to move the crowd cheered, still brings tears to my eyes
I'm not ashamed to say this scene makes me tear up every time I watch it. Amazing job with the reproduction, and Jerry Goldsmith's score makes everything seem huge and powerful.
Andrew Probert's design of this Enterprise was genius. Such a timeless, and classy refit for the movies.
She is Beautiful and Gracefully Powerful. Love this version of the Enterprise. My All Time Favorite!
she is yar
The new designs can never match he beauty of the refit NCC-1701 from STMP
Still my favorite enterprise with the NX-01 in a close second
It's really Matt Jeffries design for phase ll. Andrew just spruced it up.
You've succeeded in giving me back the profound joy I felt in 1979, when I saw the Enterprise again for the first time in ten years. I had forgotten how pure and piercing that emotion was, and now is again. Almost forty years ago now, but it feels like yesterday
"Thank you" is inadequate - but thank you. Thank you all.
Same here. One truly magical moment in motion picture history.
The Motion Picture - the Enterprise was never treated so reverently. This project does the film justice, and more.
I’ve watched this beautiful video on TH-cam for years. When the Enterprise goes to warp speed...I was there in 1966, and again in 1979...Live long and Prosper!
The most beautiful starship ever made! Such elegance and grace. She looks fantastic just sitting there. The pinnacle of starship design. Definately my favorite.
This made me cry. What a work of genius. Beautiful. Respectful. Glorious. A love song to the Enterprise. Thank you for this gift.
What a musical genius Jerry Goldsmith was! The instrumental piece of music "The Enterprise" is one of the most gorgeously, beautiful film music masterpiece compositions in history!
Breathtaking work here and it really brings back memories. I cut class leaving Whitney Young High School to go downtown to see the first showing on opening day. The State and Lake theater, long gone now was a thousand seat house and the show was sold out. And this at near noon on a weekday. When this scene came up there was absolute silence. Jerry Goldsmith's perfect score played so beautifully. When the frontal shot came up and the main theme repeated in crescendo the audience erupted into applause. That scene more than any other in the film stayed with me and continues to do so to this day. Your perfect and I mean perfect animation here really brings it all back for me.
It's been so many years. I'm starting to lose my memory now but that day and a few others like it have stuck with me ever since.
Thanks for this.
As a CG artist and someone who saw the original movie in 1979, I have to say this was done perfectly! It looks almost exactly like the original did (without the film grain and old matte artifacts), and your attention to the details was what made this truly terrific - wonderful job!
I was really disappointed that they didn't clean up the footage for that for the DVD (and especially Blu-ray) release of the film. The marks on the lens are so glaringly obvious. It would have taken hardly any time at all to get rid of this. It's more obvious in HD of course. They also did a terrible job with the darks. They crushed the hell out of the blacks in a lot of the scenes (this is seen in all the TOS era movies on Blu-ray. It's somewhat there in Generations too). It was just the 50th anniversary too, you'd have thought they'd have done SOMETHING with the restored footage rather than just repack it in new boxes (which are rather nice I must admit).
Also a major improvement in the music quality from this site's previous version, which was rather tinny.
@@theexile6605 the soundtrack received a major restoration on its 20th anniversary. Too bad the movie version hasn't received any such restoration.
@@Mike12mt I agree, well said.
There are two issues with using this cinematic in TMP, though. It has to do with who was in the pod and what they were wearing.
"Aye, she's a beauty."
"Sure. What else can the Enterprise be?"
“ let’s make sure history never forgets the name
ENTERPRISE “
My favorite speach of Picard of all time no matter what...but Kirk is still my Favorite captain of them all
@@sarasarah1810 indeed you are right nobody is to outdo the REAL Captain Of the Enterprise
We won’t: CVN-80, U.S.S. Enterprise.
@@joesolis2 What's the A? I get there's going to be a CVN-80 USS Enterprise, Carrier Vessel, Nuclear. I just hope you're not trying to say "Antimatter" with the A. That technology doesn't yet exist.
@@Robert_Douglass
The “A” was an error.
This is one of The Greatest Moments ever Recorded on Film and it made a lot of Money
This particular enterprise design has always been my favorite. It has an aesthetic that is subtly elegant, it looks good from so many different angles without needing to be ostentatious. My favorite scene is at 8:09 when the Enterprise is coming around Earth orbit in the dark and slowly the sun rises from behind casting light upon the ship from behind.

@@darthkurland But do you know "Row, row, row your boat?"
"...she's a beautiful lady and we love her!" Thank you for this very fine love letter to the most important yet uncredited star of the show.
"I'm delighted. Any chance to go aboard the Enterprise." Commander Sulu.
My god it's still such a beautiful ship. Even after all these yrs.
Was ten years old when I saw this for the first time. Since then I've seen a lot of ships. No other ship has has been as beautiful as her.
I was 8 years old when I saw it. It was magically and still remains one of my most memorable movie moments.
Kilo Tun is now 15 years old since he first watched _this video_ when he was 10. That would also mean that TVOR is 13?
They'll never be anything like this again. This Enterprise is truly one of kind.
Does that include her sister ships as well.
Seeing her lost in star trek 3 was so heartbreaking.
I felt more for _Enterprise_ than I did for Spock.
The Enterprise was the true star of Star Trek, the rest of the characters were just along for the ride. I was mortified when she self-destructed...such a beautiful ship.
@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 I can't imagine what it must have felt like for the people seeing it when it first came out.
There will never be another like her
@@mikecalano982 no, never again.
That score by Jerry Goldsmith is grandiose!
Majestic, to fit it's namesake
"If you treat her like a lady, she always brings you home..."
101Razgriz "Well, it's a new ship. But she's got the right name."
***** "So let history never forget one name...Enterprise."
***** its the same old ship just refitted though the ships already over 20 years old .
+Dan Reese Well they refitted the Miranda class during DS9, replacing the aft torpedoes with an additional impulse drive.
Does that mean Kirk used to bone the Enterprise? Because we all know how he treated the ladies!
Absolutely beautiful. The best of all the Enterprises.
Definitely iconic. However, EVERY Enterprise, from NX-01 to 1701-J (my personal favourite) and even the JJprise, Discoprise and JJ-A are just as iconic. Every one of them are the poster girls of Starfleet.
She is a beauty. That's true. So streamlined like the great ocean liners from 1890 to about 1920. Look at Titanic. Her service period may have been brief, but there was such beauty in the simplicity of her streamlined shape. She was so graceful.
God. I adore this scene. Everything about it. The music is amazing. The ship is kind of hidden for a bit until we finally see what it looks like, its details, its silhouette and the look on Kirks face when he sees it tells you all you need to know about what this ship means to him as a character, and what this ship means to the franchise as a whole. Its not just a ship, its home. For the characters and for us as fans. Its a beautiful scene, especially when you know the history of the franchise before you watch the movie.
When technology catches up with our imagination, these ships will be built for real.
Every time I see this part of S.T-T.M.P. I still get a tear in me eye. I love the version of the Enterprise best. And you can see the love in Kirks' eyes too when he sees her for the first time too
Douglas Joslyn III I know the feeling
I can’t agree more.
The most elegant ship in science fiction, in my opinion. :)
+Steven Cohen i like the millennium falcon more, but then....i was never a fan of the original series
Yuvi Singh The Millenium Falcon's an awesome ship too! :)
+Steven Cohen fuck yeah....
the TARDIS TOO!!!!
Yuvi Singh And one more that I love: Space Battleship Yamato. :)
+Steven Cohen Yes. A timeless Beauty
The most beautiful sci fi ship ever.
I don't know why I'm such a nerd for details, but I always loved how the big dish glows dull amber (like the gold dish on the old TV show model), while the ship's idling, and only lights up bright blue when it shifts to warp speed. Seems they lost that little touch in all the subsequent versions and movies.
Well, it's the deflector dish. Not much to deflect when you idle in orbit.
I believe the original release of ST:TMP had the dish in amber as it pulled out of spacedock.
@@tomf3150 Exactly. And think of the radiation hazard to the poor little dockyard guys floating around in their space suits...even now, some military aircraft have the radiation logo on their nose as warning to ground crew (EA-6 'Prowler' comes to mind)..
As much as this film gets shit on and in some cases rightfully so, this drydock sequence should be taught in school. The music expertly conveys the emotion in each section of it and leads the audience emotionally by the hand.
The way the shots rarely show the entire ship are a method of making it larger then life and building it up in our minds.
Now put yourself back in the 1970's and try to imagine what it would've felt like to see this for the first time on a big screen. People would've probably paid money just for this series of shots alone.
Stephen LeGresley I agree! People hate this part of the movie, but I like to think we are being introduced to a new Enterprise, therefore we should get to see what all see looks like. Check out her lines, her curves, everything that makes her who she is.
Stephen LeGresley im
Well I must have watched this sequence 50 times in the last 3 months alone. Partly because it's been so technically well done in the CGI but also in reference to the shots in the real movie.
This bombastic piece overlayed on top of such a well edited scene is addictive to watch. Nothing is to fast, nothing is instantly revealed until 3:30 ...and yes because of this you get a sense of scale.
Imagine sitting up front in the cinema and seeing this, the sheer size. Awesome stuff.
@@EdgyNumber1 I love the 3.30 spot on conveys what you want to feel when you look at her!
As a matter of fact, i am currently working on a school project about this scene ^^
Uss enterprise ncc1701 the greatest and most legendary ship of all sci fi history. No doubt.
Space Shuttle Enterprise was literally named after her.
The Millennium Falcon or Luke's X-wing would be a very close second if you ask me.
2nd star to the right and straight on till morning. This is Star Trek!
This is what happens when the Enterprise is given the respect and reverence it deserves, almost like a another character. The new movies lost me when they literally ripped it apart in every movie just to make a few more big explosions..
Great work on an icon. To me the refit constitution class USS Enterprise is the most graceful, beautiful, and magnificent spacecraft ever conceived of. It's a work of art as far as I'm concerned. and your space opera has done her proud.
+Chris Sugar She is a Timeless Beauty
+Chris Sugar But other Enterprises are much bigger, the Enterprise-D is more than twice as long!
+DocHarpie The original enterprise has more detail, and timeless detail, not an 80's vibe that should have stayed there (like Micheal Jackson, {I'm reffering to his music, not him})
... and far nicer than the movie remake versions.
sure is
Mr. Abrams. I'm sorry sir, but this ship is gorgeous.
Thank you! Best version of the Enterprise ever!!
I'll drink to that.
I hate to admit it but your right on that. As much as I have respect for Abrams and his efforts. Theres no denying that this design trumps that of Ryan Church and JJ Abrams.
Total agreement. :) This version of 1701 is my favorite. 1701-E is second, for me.
this ship is art. But Mystic Spenny's Enterprise does exactly what this Enterprise does and thats stay true to Gene's ideals.
I can't believe I missed this for the past 8 years - well done! This really captures the essence that was the original movie and the love of the ship, not just flashy effects - the ship was everything.
I wasn't expecting to see the Enterprise go into warp speed. Unexpected but so worth it, as was the entire film.
Congratulations and well done to everyone involved.
"She's a beautiful lady and we love her!" - James T. Kirk, TOS episode 'I Mudd.'
And the crazy part is, he wasn't being ironic. He meant it, but the robots couldn't understand. Only Scotty held as much love for that ship, but in a different way.
I need the episode where they remember christophers death
@@buggzybunny3540 , "The Cage" was the original airing of Christopher Pike as part of the pilot, but it didn't get much air time compared to when it was aired as part of "The Menagerie" in Episode 11 & 12 of Season 1.
He didn't die in it, though, it was just the episode in which he retired.
5:15--The "Galileo" launching from the shuttlebay was a really cool addition!
When I say a hopeful, optimistic view of the future, this is what I mean.
A future where human kind has accomplished incredible things and you can take a moment to be in Awe of these strides in technology and advancement.
That is what Star Trek first meant to me and so many other people. Not to conquer you with weapons or violence.
But challenge you with ideas and to find a way to peaceful coexist and to learn from one another.
I don't think I've ever heard it said better, it was never meant to be a backdrop for a forgettable action flick, it was a pure and optimistic view of the future
Also reaching a high level of health and control of negative emotions.
Okay, I already commented, so here's another: The only word that really fits the refit Enterprise is Majestic!
Lo mejor que he visto en la tv
A masterpiece. Both animation & Goldsmith's score combined
Absolutely YES. Great animation and a fantastic score by the master Jerry Goldsmith !!!
at the time this was ground breaking .. it was all stuff we'd never seen before. and the angles, lighting, and shots were amazing.
Whenever I watch this, my eyes get wet and I remember my grandfather, we love the Star Trek movie. Miss him. Rip
I think the reason I like the original version of this scene so much is knowing it’s all practical effects. It’s incredible the amount of work that went into it and even in 2024 I think it looks amazing. The 1701 refit is my favorite design of all the ships in the trek universe.
When I saw this in the theater in 1979, I knew star trek was back, 10 years after it was canceled, and this time it was back for good, and there would be no stopping it. (The human adventure was just beginning.)
This made me cry in the theater.
@@patriciaparker7758 I know what you mean.
In modern day critics lambast the length and pacing of the drydock scene, but if you had seen it in the theater in 1979, you know how truly majestic this was. It was perhaps the best sequence in the movie.
@@jnichols3 it was very Majestic and I did see it in the theater opening day and I still remember it every time I watch the scene on DVD reminds me of what a grand lady the Enterprise was
I was 12 at the time. I just turned 52 last month. How nice it would be 12 again and sit in that dark theater and have the same sense of wonder.
Anyone who doesn't get goosebumps at 3:30 has no soul
One of the best cinematic moments of all time in my opinion.
WolfieRich incomparable majesty of the Enterprise refit...
around 5:05 I get goosebumps on my armhair
WolfieRich one of my all time favorite cinema moments. Even after all these years I have a hard time keeping my shit together at that moment.
It was 8:16 for me. The Enterprise coming around Earth orbit lit only by its own light as the sun slowly rises from behind the Earth and illuminates the ship.
What is truly amazing is that in the 40 years since this movie was released, the design of everything in this sequence has not AGED AT ALL!!! STILL LOOKS as GORGEOUS AND CUTTING EDGE AS EVER! I love TOS, dont get me wrong, but THIS is the definitive Starship Enterprise! THIS looks like a massive ship that houses 400 plus crewmembers!
Aiight. When the sun came over the horizon....that was hot. Fantastic warp out as well. Again, well done!!
It's for times like this that TH-cam needs a LOVE button! Times infinity. Thank you!
God, I should have faved this years ago. Two of my absolute favorite scenes of the Movie Enterprise, the inspection tour and the departure from Spacedock, done in CGI so authentic looking that you can practically hear the rumble as she cruises by. It actually gave me goosebumps all over again.
Beautiful. A wonderful tribute to one of my favorite ships in the Star Trek universe, and all it has come to represent over the years. A lot of people criticized the Enterprise flyover in the original motion picture as too lengthy and boring, but I couldn't get enough of it. Their minds are asleep. It's a statement of the limitless imagination of human beings and our capacity to dream big, and always reaching out to be more than we ever thought we could be. Inspiring!
Is it normal to get goosebumps seeing the Enterprise?
The greatest and most beautiful starship ever. You have done an amazing job with this... Its Stunning!
Very well done. The Enterprise is the most beautiful space ship in science fiction
I whole-heartedly agree.
After the TARDIS!
One of the most
@@stephenjohn439 Yes sir.
FIREBALL XL5!
2019 The Refit is still functional, not long in the tooth and still most beautiful!
There will never be a more elegant, beautiful and graceful version of the Enterprise. The refit was absolute perfection.
This is what J J Abrams cannot, and never will, be able to achieve: ART. Beautiful art. No amount of explosions or eye burning lens flares can equal the beauty of the real Enterprise. She isn't a sports car, she isn't a misshapen jumble of brewery and computer lab, she is the grand lady of Starfleet.
Hear HEAR
So say we all.
She's like the SR-71 Blackbird, sure many things have come since then, some might be popular, but they can never be as timelessly cool as Enterprise or Blackbird
It is time for guys to start treating fiction, and non fictio *women* beings, creations, and things with respect. She, Enterprise, is A GRAND LADY! Oof! I just got Enterprise-bumps!
so true she is a grand lady
I still remember being that awestruck kid seeing the Enterprise on the big screen for the first time. Such a beautiful and timeless design. Thank you so much for this video.
Just saw the scene and made me stand and Salute as she left the space dock. Truly inspiring! Thank you!
Such ... beauty. If anyone ever gets to leave our solarsystem he should call the ship Enterprise !
The scientific community is full of Star Trek fans. No way the first ship that leaves our solar system WON'T be called Enterprise.
I guarantee the first ship will be called the Enterprise!
He ? What about she or even better....they.
And definitely make sure it's not call the Nostromo, that's just bad luck it is
I remember back in the summer of 1977 when NASA launched a Space Shuttle off the back of a 747 to test how it flew and landed they named it Enterprise "in honour of the spaceship in the President's favourite television programme"
Am I the only one that loves the first one? It was far more cerebral than its successors! At least the directors cut anyway.
no ;) i love it to :)
I can never understand why this movie gets so much hate. I like that it borrowed from 2001 and actual space footage for some of the imagery. I also like Wrath of Kahn as much as any action-monger, but I love ST:TMP. I don't care if it gets sluggish in some places, I LIKE having the time to just stare in awe at the wonders of the universe. Also, V'ger is also probably my favorite non-regular alien character in all of the Trek universe. "Is this all that I am? Is there nothing more?"
I couldn't agree more :) there is this "odd or even" rule, that most of the Fans are follow. its sad that the fans don't think for themselfs.
You're not the only one. TMP is in my top three, along with II and VI.
The attention span of today's humans means that we will never get one like this again.
I really enjoy tmp because it feels like how the original series would have been if it had a big budget. How Roddenberry had wanted it. If you think about it the military style would go against the federation's creed.
The marriage of visuals & music in this clip put it up there with the very best videos on TH-cam.
First one of these videos that gave me legit goosebumps. Amazing work.
Brilliant score by Jerry Goldsmith for this sequence
amen to that. Jerry Goldsmith is truly a talanted and gifted man. Ironicly enough even a proven artist since his name also appears in an image in the Ending Credits of the Mulan Cartoon.
Funny thing is that he did that scene score because audia effects were not ready for the movie since they were far beyond schedule. One of the most beutiful and contemplative sequences exists because the scen was unfinished, ironic.
Great score by Jerry Goldsmith. Gives the film a majestic feel that no other Star Trek film can match. Personally I think it's one of the all-time great film scores.
Jerry Goldsmith did a beautiful job on the score to this movie. I am wondering how John Williams (E.T. and others) would have done with the same scene.
@@quoniam426 Ironic it actually made the scene a touch more realistic too, since there is no sound in space all the better time to have a fantastic musical score
This is the textbook definition "labor of love". beautifully rendered. Thank you.
Yes a true labour, of love.
STUNNING! just absolutely stunning!
I watch this clip about once a month. It's so damn good: the music, the rendering; gives me chills. Pure Love.
A very nice recreation of one of the greatest moments in movie history!
Just what I think. This is pure magic. And the music is just wonderful.
What I would give to be in a spacesuit someday, watching a moment like this for real.
I would want to be at the helm. Piloting her majestically out of dry dock and stretching her wings for a couple orbital passes to check systems. Then with the word given, engaging the mains and letting her show us what she can do.
Wow!.. that has to be one of the most powerful tributes to the Star Trek franchise! we've seen tributes of all manner to cast, crew and footage,. but this moving tribute to the 'Enterprise' - the Grand Dame of the galaxies really tugs at the heartstrings!.. and that music!,.. words simply canny express!
May sci-fi live long and prosper!
At 6:36 Uhura: "Dock Control reports ready, Sir."

@@jeanpauldurieux7143 Ha, but that's usually a Picard line. I don't remember Kirk doing it here, but maybe he did it in another scene (or movie or episode). Anyone recall Kirk doing it? Cheers.

The level of detail in this re-creation is glorious! It far exceeds the visual effects of the original movie, while still retaining its feel. It also certainly benefits from the removal of the constant cuts to Kirk's face that the original had. An awesome job.
"It also certainly benefits from the removal of the constant cuts to Kirk's face that the original had. "
Those cuts were necessary to the plot. Kirk could've beamed to the ship, but he didn't: he wanted to get to know the enterprise first. This enterprise is new to him just as it's new to the audience, so when Decker says that Kirk doesn't know shit about this ship and isn't qualified to sit in the chair, we believe him.
Watch the movie, Kirk couldn't have beamed aboard, the transporters were offline until well after he first boarded the ship.
"Watch the movie, Kirk couldn't have beamed aboard, the transporters were offline until well after he first boarded the ship."
There's transporters on starbases too.
I'd have to disagree that "it far exceeds the visual effects of the original movie". Dykstra and Trumbull and their teams were under incredible pressure to get the job done as the previous effects team (Abel) were unable to deliver. When I first saw TMP up on the big screen in 1980 the dry-dock sequence seemed almost lifelike. A few of the effects look a little dated now - mainly the matte paintings, but overall they still stand up incredibly well, especially given the time constraints.
you could almost hear 1701 tell Admiral Kirk, " hey Dad look at me".
No matter how many times I watch this it never gets old. Fantastic!
You had me crying again, this is MY most FAVOURITE bit EVER! The music, the way we see her for the first time... *happy tears* AMAZING & WONDERFUL JOB!!!
Take me to the 23rd century. I hate this cesspool I'm in.
+46 Degrees North Off Grid Actually, the only impression we have of the future is through science fiction. No one can possibly know exactly how the distant future will look. No law against wishful thinking.
Find a starship, then beam me up, I'll crew with you.
Remember when we thought that driving a car would be insane and then we turned sixteen and learned that it's so easy an invalid could do it? I bet starships are the same way.
David Smith, this is Emperor Shadowblade broadcasting on all channels. I have a Galaxy Class you can be a Lieutenant on. I'll have one of the quantum class ships escort it to Earth, so you can get out of that "cesspool." *Beam up coords attached. This message will now repeat*
Pretty much. Based on how things are now, an entire ship would be run by a single guy pointing and clicking on a tablet.
6:07 - fantastic Jerry Goldsmith's score!!! Missing an excelent composer today !!!
3:32 Gives me chills every time
This is the best enterprise designs in all of Star Trek!
Billy Oidtman indeed
In the 2009 film, this is where the greatest lens flare would occur.
Why cant CBS and Paramount remember how trek is supposed to look and feel. What a beautiful ship.
...and the music...
Always loved this scene. Nice job on the remake. Loved the warp out.
Best looking Starship EVER
You did such a fantastic job!! This just was recommended to me for whatever reason, and THIS is what Star Trek truly is ... the ship and the diverse crew... not a soap opera and flashy scenes or forced diversification. I will miss all the old original Treks and the beautiful writing and creative ideas and visions.
Wow... this is absolutely gorgeous, from the visuals to the music. I was so in awe of this sequence when I saw TMP when I was younger that I had goosebumps when the Enterprise came into view, and this never fails to impress and amaze me. Well done! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Out of all the Enterprise ships, NCC-1701-A is my fav.
Reggie Reginato Enterprise-D was mine.
Enterprise-D is my fav, too. But The 1701 refit design looks the most like a ship we might actually be able to build one day, I think.
This is 1701, not 1701 A. 1701, no bloody A,B,C,D,E,NX or reboot. The best.
John Ritcher: James Doohan FTW I love Mr. Scott.....
oh, by the way, see you at the party Richter!!! sorry, couldn't help it lolz

^Actually its the 1701 Refit Enterprise. Yes its the best but it came after the original series but had its last ever voyage in; The Search For Spock. Every other Enterprise with alphabet letters came afterwards of course.
This is why we need a REAL Star Trek video game with graphics of this level. That would be incredible...
no what we need ...is real starship...lol
I am waiting for a star trek game on the same level as no man's sky, just exploring the universe and sick space battles and shit like that
oh hell yes, I don't know why no game developer has made a good star trek exploration rpg game.
@@theHerathrig licensing and royalty issues. Not to mention having to cram "social narratives" into the story to the point of sucking the life and joy out of the overall experience.
We can dream though.
For me, that is what science fiction and fantasy are all about.
An incredible recreation of one the greatest scenes in Star Trek history and in science fiction. The Enterprise in spacedock scene is beautiful and and moving! I remember becoming so emotional when seeing the original scene for the first time in the theater. I got the same feeling watching this. A job well done!
absolutely gorgeous! i never get tired of watching this!
