Galactica´s jump into the atmosphere is a masterpiece of a masterpiece! the risk, the math-calculation to make it possible, the tactical part and to jump out again...makes it to the #1 of the best maneuvers with a arrival ever
Actually, Galactica was jumping OUT of the atmosphere, not into it - which in my opinion is even more impressive, as it leaves a vacuum that needs to be filled, hence the thunderclap and wind.
One of the most horrible sci-fi shows in recent memory. I couldn't stand Star Dyke, but if she wasn't bad enough, the show itself was just a boring soap opera. It was identical in format to the equally awful Stargate Universe. They both would have done better if they were on weekday mornings, competing with Days of Our Lives and The Young & the Restless.
The Adama Manouver was the best... a mile in lenght, hundreds of thousands metrico tons, heavy armored ship, in an atmospheric reentry, free falling and glowing red hot and causing a hurricane?. C´mon dude, nothing can beat that XD
Centurions were my favorite in the entire show. Often shown as dumb drones, but they had wits (according to the novelizations they were the ones who got to get a second brain, with Supreme Leader getting a third).
I feel like the opening shot of Star Wars deserves to be here. The Star Destroyer just appearing in the foreground then running its entire length just past the camera. That and Vader’s entrance in Rogue One.
Awesome comeback for the UNCF Space Battleship Yamato, the USS Enterprise-A, the Kelvin-timeline USS Enterprise, the refurbished USS Enterprise-D, and the surprised Klingon Space Battleship! Nicely done with the entrances! 😊🫡👍🖖
The gun barrels of the Yamato and all the other DELICATE EQUIPMENT should have been bent and USELESS. The main gun is internal, so that's fine ... but people completely ignoring that ROCK IS HARD and METAL CAN BEND is annoying, because this means they are as far from reality as vegetarians thinking "milk/cheese doesnt kill animals" (of course it does, because cows only give milk after having a calf ... and we cant feed all those calfs ... so "killing them" is part of the deal).
Opening scene of A New Hope should be No 1, IMO. If you saw it in person at the time, you knew the world of sci-fi had completely changed. I was 10yo and it literally changed our world.
@@careyfreeman5056 I did put it in part one, though it was relatively low. For me, it wasn't that big, partially because I don't remember when I first saw it and partially because my first exposure to Star Wars was through Lego, with the Padawan Menace.
@SkywalkerFilms1927 you've got to remember what we had prior to that. Ultra Man, Lost in Space (original), original Star Trek. When I (and millions of others) saw that Star Destroyer rip across the screen my mouth was on the floor. Everything changed in that moment in terms of what you expected from Sci-fi.
It definitely was a "You had to be there" moment. Prior to it, was almost nothing Sci-fi of value being produced. The ENTIRE GENRE just exploded afterwards. All the way up to and including today's wonderful stuff. Before New Hope, it was relegated to the books and comics. The timing rolled into the computer and videogames with limitless imaginations becoming realities. All those teenagers who enjoyed the Star Trek series took their kids to Star Wars and culturally changed the entire Earth with possibilities. We are here NOW because of that reveal. (55 on my only imagined phone computer -- yes my ringtone is the ORIGINAL communicator from the Original Series) Nanu Nanu
Indeed. Along with 2001: A Space Odyssey it defined what Sci-Fi would look like for decades afterward. Without those two the others would not have existed.
By far the best one is reimagined BSG with the Galactica jumping into New Caprica's atmosphere. I remember the few people I was with standing up and cheering. Absolutely brilliant and completely unexpected sequence.
I am glad you included the Enterprise D with the Third Nacelle in the list. The old school me will always think of this ship as a "dreadnaught". A Three Nacelle ship harkens back to the days of the board game "star Fleet Battles" where dreadnaughts were three Nacelle ships.
@@stevepreskitt283 Thx for the eye opener. My first indoctrination to the three nacelle ships was as a playable ship on Star fleet battles. Unfortunately, I sucked at that game and lost interest in it until I seen a reminder of SFB on the video game version of Star Trek.
@@themorn2112 The board game was tedious to play, because it necessarily centered on the fighting of ships, and finding a balance of how much detail to include in any tabletop game battle is an ongoing thing. The computer version used the computer to do the work and left you to enjoy making the decisions. When I discovered the game (version II) I finally realized what the board game was trying to do under all the rules and record keeping.
River really did get the Klingon's attention. The way it just slices into the first Klingon battlecruiser while the other fires away making no difference.
Delenn from Babylon 5: "Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari Fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else!"
I was a kid when StarBlazers was on TV. Watching Yamato rise from the dry seabed always gives me shivers. Absolutely the best. I an mot a fan of live action adaptions to anime, but Space Battleship Yamato, despite the differences with the original series, was great.
Whether its the live action version, the original animation, or the 2199 version, the re-birth of the Yamato always gives me goosebumps. YAMATO HASHIN!
I'm sad that the list was limited to live action, and CG dressed up to look like live action, productions. There's a huge blind spot towards some amazing 2D animated ship reveals.
I'll always be grateful I got to see the original pre-CGI Star Wars movies. And for anyone who wants to correct me, I know that there was _some_ CGI used in the originals but it was very minimal.
That scene of BSG jumping into -- but more so, jumping out of -- the atmosphere when it aired was one of the few literal mouth-open/"Wtf??" moments I've had watching tv.
Same, it is almost as jaw dropping as first witnessing the Yamato rising from under the ground. before that such a thing was unheard of by anyone on Earth, and the fact that as a spaceship its previous life was as a WII battleship was just as mind blowing.
@@TheRogueX It doesn't look as good as today's graphics, but for its time (if you watched the original) it was fantastic! In the theater everyone cheered when it blew up, and it was great! I remember that and cherish it, so I like to see what I saw then. Not something done for people who can never experience what I did. It's like going to a concert (where the sound sucks because of all the idiots yelling and screaming around you) vs. a recording. Recording is better quality, but it's not the same as what you experienced at the concert. I cherish the experience, not just the aesthetics, so I prefer the original.
The inclusion of the Executor in Episode 5 was more than welcome, but then you even included the LUSANKYA from that Star Wars fan film, and you made my day with that one.
I couldn't help but think of the 100s of thousands of people who died in the crumbling buildings, while the X-Wing pilots are like 'dude, ship!' I mean it looks wicked cool, but the context is kinda meh.
I'm sorry but that scene of Galactica jumping into the atmosphere, then _free-falling_ as it launches all it's Vipers, the jumps out with the atmosphere disruption - one of the most incredible sequences I've ever seen on sci-fi television GOD DAMN!!!!
Yamato emerging from its sleep from what used to be the bottom of the ocean, is one of the best ship reveals in science fiction, anime or live action. My other favorite from this sequence is the Adama Maneuver, this version of Commander Adama, while not my favorite, in this scene truly shows he has balls so big they produce gravity capable of pulling planets from orbit.
"Plot armor" doesnt mean "balls" ... and both those jumps would have created WAVES OF PRESSURE through "sudden displacement of the atmosphere" and especially the second one would have caused a lot of death and destruction on the ground. Look up "MOAB" ... the "mother of all bombs" ... which KILLS THROUGH SHOCKWAVES/PRESSURE WAVES by ripping your lungs apart.
@@navyreviewer As where the true wreck is in pieces, in the 2202 recollection at 90 seconds, it is recovered and restored and rededicated 2145 as where the exposed wreck seems whole in 2199. th-cam.com/video/ZLnTeb3V9mY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=v9Fh2NVMpGsJ43e_
@@Muck006 I actually wondered about what kind of shockwave would have been created by all that air rushing in to fill the sudden gap, and how it would have affected the ground installations. I am familiar with the MAB and Daisy cutter style bomb's, and thought of that myself. But that was still one hell of a ballsy move for a commander. You can call anything "plot armor", from a fictional point of view, but I was thinking about the point of view of a commander reacting to a fast moving combat situation.
U.S.S. Europa: "Oh, an impact. Let's just sit here when, logically, our smaller vessel would actually be pushed backwards, much less make any attempt at reversing under our own power..."
I guess they forgot to turn off the external inertial dampers, if those are thing in the DISCO timeline. Or their plot armor malfunctioned and held them in place.
My willing-suspension-of-disbelief told me they must have some thrusters and technology that "anchors" a ship relative to nearby objects. They don't normally need to worry about an invisible ship ramming into the hull. That would be a very unpopular tactic. And it seems like the scene slowed down for dramatic effect, so they probably didn't have time to move away while getting shook by the hull in their face.
And then the Warp core annihilated tons of antimatter and nuked the Klingon Ship... oh, wait... Dont even know anymore when I gave up on this stupid show.
I mean, the same logic applies as past Trek, such as the ramming of the Scimitar by the Ent-E. The physics just don't necessarily physics in Trek sometimes, and that's hardly unique to the Europa.
Notice how one further down is the Super Star Destroyer Lusankya ripping itself up from Coruscant's surface and immediately jumping to hyperspace. Let yourself enjoy the rule of cool for once, instead of hating something because someone told you to. But, if you need an explanation that took 5 seconds to come up with: the Klingon ship was actively thrusting forward, while the Federation ship's automatic controls were trying to keep it in a relative-stationary position. If someone was prepared and at the Helm, they could've pulled the ship back, raised shields, and minimized the damage, but that's what cloaking fields are for. Also, you've seen what happens when a Star Trek ship gets hit the slightest amount. Half the crew was likely flung to the floor and then three rooms over by the camera-shaking impact.
10:00 yes yes oh hell yes. The greatest moment in star trek history. I remember when we saw this in the theater opening day, the crowd went nuts on there feet clapping cheering, some even crying 👍
@@Muck006 it wasn't built under ground it was built at the same time as the Executor(it's sister ship){Lusankya was built at Kuat and the Executor was built at Fondor} and it was moved to Coruscant and buried after it was Finished. the Empire claimed it was a New Power Generator for Coruscant also in the book the Scene is based on the Lusankya was put in the ground Vertically
@@joshuaward1390 Yeah I'd love to see a book-accurate version. The ship is literally fighting its way out of the planet, using repulsorlift cradles to help push its fat ass upward while pouring an unimaginable amount of firepower into the planet's shields to punch a hole. Also I'm not convinced it was buried vertically. Don't see anything that says it was (not sure if I still have the book). The amount of damage it caused coming out (259 k^2) suggests it was horizontal. I always imagined it popped out and turned straight up.
Old school stuff is always my favorite. "I think you should take a look at the _other_ Battlestar" (which I watched first-run), the "Adama Manoeuvre" and the Enterprise-A reveal are my personal favorites. Knowing the Enterprise-A survived into the 25th century is just a bonus.
A well done list! It is good to see, that somebody like you puts so much effort in this kind of topic. Keep on and thank you! So here are my personal top 10: 10.) The appearance and the docking of Mr. Spocks long distance shuttle in Star Trek - The Motion Picture 9.) The Tantive IV and the Imperial Star Destroyer in Star Wars Episode 4 8.) The appearance of the Event Horizon in Event Horizon 7.) The overgiving of the Defiant (Both equal up The Defiant 1 and 2) in Star Trek Deep Space Nine 6.) The appearance of the Kronos 1 in Star Trek - The Undiscovered Country; Kirk: "We have never been so close..." 5.) The overgiving of the Enterprise A in Star Trek - The Voyage Home 4.) The appearance of the Titan at the end of Titan A.E. 3.) The introducing of the Enterprise in Star trek - The Motion Picture 2.) The cutting into the Leonov in 2010 - The year we made contact 1.) Spaceballs beginning 😎
Where these scenes fit into the larger context matters, of course, but Season 2 of Battlestar ending with the cliffhanger of the cylons occupying New Caprica, then being 4 episodes into Season 3 with the entire focus being on how to rescue the colonists. To have it culminate in this minute of Galactica returning had me absolutely levitating.
The first time i saw the Infinity punch through that CCS i capered around like an absolute clown. It represented (or was supposed to represent) a shift in galactic power
So I'm watching this block again, and it just realized when I read the caption, The Battlestar Galactica episode is now officially 20 years old. Unbelievable😮
Yeah, 100%. I remember watching the original on TV as a little kid in the late 1970s- my father, older sister, older brother and I used to watch it regularly. When the updated version came out in the 2000s, we were all over it- and around 3 years ago, I finally got my mother to watch it with me, as well. She ended up loving it just as much as I do, and was so bummed when we got to the end of the series. I can’t believe that the “newer” version is twenty years old- it just doesn’t seem possible. I tried rewatching the original series afterwards, but I just couldn’t sit through it- it’s one of those rare cases where the remake is better than the original. This was a great video- I hadn’t seen the Yamato or the Halo stuff before, and not all of the Star Trek content, but you did a great job of selecting the examples that you did. Thanks!
@@TheProjectHelpDesk That was a big part of why I liked it so much- I found it to be so much more realistic, especially how everything impacted all of the characters- the hopelessness, the small victories, the doubts, etc. I felt it really made me sympathize with the characters, and it had so much emotional weight to it. Not everything was optimistic, the dark attitude was more of how people would truly react.
To whomever rendered that scene from the Wraith Squadron novel, you are amazing. Thank you. First time in a while I've had a grin that made my cheeks hurt.
Long time Rogue Squadron Fan here, That wasn't Wraith squadron, Wedge didn't create Wraith until after Talon Squadron was destroyed after the Bacta War. The scene of Lusankya's escape was in Rogue Squadron Krytos trap, which is followed by Bacta War then Wraith Squadron.
Hello there! Believe me I did not have help from other creators. It was Lots and lots of scrounging for better computer parts and late nights checking if my renders had crashed. Glad you liked it! And yes Wraith is from book 5 but I always liked that squadron so I figured as a nod to the Aaron Arlston book I would include it in this sort of Mashup fan film that I made.
Some that are also nice : Serenity - the final space battle War of the Worlds (2005) - First Encounter with Alien Tripods Attraction (2018) - Space ship crash, one of the best I've ever seen
Space Battleship Yamato was a cartoon called Starblazers when I was a kid. Watched it every morning before school. That was almost beat for beat how it was done in the cartoon. I always dreamed of making the cartoon into a live action movie...But, I got beat to it. I keep intending on carving out some time to watch the Space Battleship Yamato movie.
For those who loved Starblazers / Space Battleship Yamato back in the long ago, I'd suggest the Space Battleship Yamato 2199 anime series over the live action film shown here. It is one of the few reboots I will profess to prefer to the original. Largely as they kept the nostalgia laden sound effects, ship designs, and the classic character look. The graphics will look as good on your big 4k screen as they do in your memories of watching the show on those old 4:3 televisions. Also, the technical detailing of all the spacecraft designs is superior to what we had originally. It is a case wherein the computer graphics actually improve upon the original hand drawn look of the show.
It was to be a pet project by M.I. director McQuarrie in 2011 to make an English version but it never got past scripting and died recently. THE MOUSE attempted one in the mid 90's but it would have been all-American👎👎👎. Odd note that the original producer Nishizaki had died in a boating accident prior to the movie's release.
Star Blazers was a retitle and English dub of Space Battleship Yamato, because a cartoon glorifying a WWII Japanese battleship was believed to be received poorly in the States. They were afraid we'd still be salty 30 years later about Pearl Harbor. So they changed all the character names and the ship as well to English names.
I know it’s only in the honorable mentions; but I’ll never forget the chills I got when the Cleave Ship took out the Nimitz in the Battle of the Binary Stars.
I haven't seen the whole video yet, but the scene of Space Pirate Captain Harlock's skull-crested ship coming out of the weird black fog was always cool.
I can think of one you might want to include in future videos: The appearance of the Reaver fleet in the sky battle scene in the movie Serenity (2005).
The way the Arcadia in Space Pirate Captian Harlock warp jumps is so cool, it just appears from a black cloud with red lightning flashing. And the fact the front of the ship is literally a giant skull and cross bones makes it so much better.
Space Battleship Yamato is my favorite. Whether it's the original anime, the movie or the reimaged anime it's a great reveal. I remember in the late 80s and early 90s, I'd watch the afternoon anime cartoons with the kids. We saw all kinds of Japanese anime, and I loved it.
Battlestar jumping into atmosphere and falling like a rock is hands down my most favourit moment. It is badass, it feels realisitc, it puts the sizes into perspective...its just amazingly put into image.
I'm old, so I saw the first Star Wars movie (OK, "A New Hope") in the theater in 1977. When the Millennium Falcon swooped in, the entire audience erupted. It was an amazing moment.
The Executor bit was impressive. I had not watched it in such a long time, and this sequence is so much better film making than what we get now. Without any obnoxious overexposure...
Still we don't have the reveal of the Mothership from Close Encounters. It was an incredible reveal to see the ship rising from it's hiding spot behind Devil's Tower, and then flipping over.
Wasn’t expecting the Lusankia, I recognized what was happening immediately. And I love that you somehow found original footage of the Death Star blowing up.
Someone needs to add to this the Super Heavy screaming back through its own exhaust plume to be caught by the chopsticks. BEST SPACESHIP ARRIVAL EVER IN SCIENCE-FACT! 🎉🎉🎉🙌🙌🙌
Nobody talkin' about the Lusankya sequence. I remember reading that in the books, just after Corran escaped and just... still gives me chills. Though I dont recall it jumping from inside a gravity well.
Spaceball 1 will NEVER get old Just the slowwwwwww ship then the "we brake for nobody" Oh i hope they get something funnier in the sequel(WHICH YES IS REAL!)
@@tungzauzage977 uhhh no? This sequel will be different It will be as what the fans Wanted "the search for more money!" Space balls is ALREADY a parody movie Its gonna be ANOTHER parody!
One of my favorite starship arrival scenes is in Babylon 5. After the original Ambassador Kosh has been killed, the Vorlons send a replacement. Sheriden is outside. on the front tip of the station when the ship comes through, and then it rises up directly in front of him.
"I really think you should look at the other battlestar" _slew_ me when I first saw that episode as a kid. The absolute incongruity of a joke at that moment was almost too much for my tiny child brain. :)
When Worf reads off the weapons of the Scimitar and it's like nothing you've ever heard of on any warship of any capacity in all of Star Trek until that point, you realize just how wildly outgunned and outmatched the _then_ state-of-the-art Enterprise-E truly was...
Honorable mention to Spaceball One gets you a subscriber, good sentient. EDIT: AND the first appearance of the Shadows in B5, you have excwllent taste.
While there are other SiFi franchises I like more, & love their ships... there has always been a special place in my heart for the Enterprise refit NC-1701 no bloody A, B, C, or D. There was always something so majestic & realistic about that ship.
I would have had the Enterprise scene from The Motion Picture. When Kirk and Scotty examine the ship in dock. Accompanied by the best Star Trek music, in my opinion.
I thing the Enterprise A from ST4 was one of the best. It had a great reveal, but also lots of emotions. In the theater people clapped and cheered. The Yamato reveal is also awesome. One of my fav cartoons back in the day.
5:29 on up. The tie fighters are flying like grade school kids being let go for recess. Just all over the place with no clear defense groupings or anything. I’m surprised there aren’t any of them colliding into each other.
1701-D sliding in to beam up the guys from the Borg ship in Picard S03E10 should be in one of these. Yea, a lot of people panned Picard, but c'mon; that was a pretty awesome shot :)
In the Star Wars comics, the guy who was in charge of firing the Death Star laser intentionally delayed the response this time because he did not want to be responsible for any more deaths.
You can actually see it in the movie. When the Death Star is firing on Alderaan he rips the control down like he's trying to pull start a lawn mower. Above Yavin 4 when he's pulling it down, he's obviously going as slow as possible without raising the suspicion of his superiors.
@@geraldapollyon655 I think I just found my evening plans, trying to catch that guy. In the novel 'Death Star', that particular gunner is actually a stand in- the guy who's supposed to be there is playing traitor with a bunch of folks he got close with while the station was being built

I am glad you included the Enterprise D with the Third Nacelle in the list. The old school me will always think of this ship as a "dreadnaught". A Three Nacelle ship harkens back to the days of the board game "star Fleet Battles" where dreadnaughts were three Nacelle ships.
Before that, even - the three-nacelle Federation-class dreadnought first appeared in Franz Joseph's "Starfleet Technical Manual" back in 1975.
@@stevepreskitt283 Thx for the eye opener. My first indoctrination to the three nacelle ships was as a playable ship on Star fleet battles. Unfortunately, I sucked at that game and lost interest in it until I seen a reminder of SFB on the video game version of Star Trek.
@@themorn2112 The board game was tedious to play, because it necessarily centered on the fighting of ships, and finding a balance of how much detail to include in any tabletop game battle is an ongoing thing. The computer version used the computer to do the work and left you to enjoy making the decisions. When I discovered the game (version II) I finally realized what the board game was trying to do under all the rules and record keeping.
River really did get the Klingon's attention.
The way it just slices into the first Klingon battlecruiser while the other fires away making no difference.

I was a kid when StarBlazers was on TV. Watching Yamato rise from the dry seabed always gives me shivers. Absolutely the best. I an mot a fan of live action adaptions to anime, but Space Battleship Yamato, despite the differences with the original series, was great.
Whether its the live action version, the original animation, or the 2199 version, the re-birth of the Yamato always gives me goosebumps. YAMATO HASHIN!
I'm sad that the list was limited to live action, and CG dressed up to look like live action, productions. There's a huge blind spot towards some amazing 2D animated ship reveals.
For the Yamato it's all about the original theme song firing up as it launches. Gotta love it!
Nice to see the original Death Star explosion instead of the remastered version
Seeing all the OG FXs from A New Hope was refreshing!
I'll always be grateful I got to see the original pre-CGI Star Wars movies. And for anyone who wants to correct me, I know that there was _some_ CGI used in the originals but it was very minimal.
Han shot first!
I'm glad I got to see the original first movie run in 75 mm film. It was awesome!
BIG BADA BOOM!
That scene of BSG jumping into -- but more so, jumping out of -- the atmosphere when it aired was one of the few literal mouth-open/"Wtf??" moments I've had watching tv.
Same, it is almost as jaw dropping as first witnessing the Yamato rising from under the ground. before that such a thing was unheard of by anyone on Earth, and the fact that as a spaceship its previous life was as a WII battleship was just as mind blowing.
How did they do that with one Jump Drive? It takes almost half an hour to spool up from full discharge.
@@kennkoala Charge needed depends on distance jumped, and u can overcharge the capacitors. ie two short jumps. and no its not safe to do so
Thank you SO MUCH for showing the ORIGINAL destruction of the Death Star!!
I was waiting with a grimace lol. Thanks for sticking with the original!
Why? It has aged terribly. I'm old enough to have watched the originals and I absolutely think that Death Star explosion looks tacky.
@@TheRogueX It doesn't look as good as today's graphics, but for its time (if you watched the original) it was fantastic! In the theater everyone cheered when it blew up, and it was great! I remember that and cherish it, so I like to see what I saw then. Not something done for people who can never experience what I did. It's like going to a concert (where the sound sucks because of all the idiots yelling and screaming around you) vs. a recording. Recording is better quality, but it's not the same as what you experienced at the concert. I cherish the experience, not just the aesthetics, so I prefer the original.
The inclusion of the Executor in Episode 5 was more than welcome, but then you even included the LUSANKYA from that Star Wars fan film, and you made my day with that one.
Yeah! It's always amazing to see fan films get acknowledged!
I couldn't help but think of the 100s of thousands of people who died in the crumbling buildings, while the X-Wing pilots are like 'dude, ship!' I mean it looks wicked cool, but the context is kinda meh.
I'm sorry but that scene of Galactica jumping into the atmosphere, then _free-falling_ as it launches all it's Vipers, the jumps out with the atmosphere disruption - one of the most incredible sequences I've ever seen on sci-fi television GOD DAMN!!!!
Yamato emerging from its sleep from what used to be the bottom of the ocean, is one of the best ship reveals in science fiction, anime or live action. My other favorite from this sequence is the Adama Maneuver, this version of Commander Adama, while not my favorite, in this scene truly shows he has balls so big they produce gravity capable of pulling planets from orbit.
I remember watching the emerging of Yamato in Starblazers. Later I saw the famous diorama of the real Yamato's wreck.... Yeah.... Still iconic though.
"Plot armor" doesnt mean "balls" ... and both those jumps would have created WAVES OF PRESSURE through "sudden displacement of the atmosphere" and especially the second one would have caused a lot of death and destruction on the ground.
Look up "MOAB" ... the "mother of all bombs" ... which KILLS THROUGH SHOCKWAVES/PRESSURE WAVES by ripping your lungs apart.
@@navyreviewer As where the true wreck is in pieces, in the 2202 recollection at 90 seconds, it is recovered and restored and rededicated 2145 as where the exposed wreck seems whole in 2199.

@@Muck006 I actually wondered about what kind of shockwave would have been created by all that air rushing in to fill the sudden gap, and how it would have affected the ground installations. I am familiar with the MAB and Daisy cutter style bomb's, and thought of that myself. But that was still one hell of a ballsy move for a commander. You can call anything "plot armor", from a fictional point of view, but I was thinking about the point of view of a commander reacting to a fast moving combat situation.
@@Muck006 Well your no fun. 😏
U.S.S. Europa: "Oh, an impact. Let's just sit here when, logically, our smaller vessel would actually be pushed backwards, much less make any attempt at reversing under our own power..."
I guess they forgot to turn off the external inertial dampers, if those are thing in the DISCO timeline. Or their plot armor malfunctioned and held them in place.
My willing-suspension-of-disbelief told me they must have some thrusters and technology that "anchors" a ship relative to nearby objects. They don't normally need to worry about an invisible ship ramming into the hull. That would be a very unpopular tactic. And it seems like the scene slowed down for dramatic effect, so they probably didn't have time to move away while getting shook by the hull in their face.
And then the Warp core annihilated tons of antimatter and nuked the Klingon Ship... oh, wait... Dont even know anymore when I gave up on this stupid show.
I mean, the same logic applies as past Trek, such as the ramming of the Scimitar by the Ent-E. The physics just don't necessarily physics in Trek sometimes, and that's hardly unique to the Europa.
Notice how one further down is the Super Star Destroyer Lusankya ripping itself up from Coruscant's surface and immediately jumping to hyperspace. Let yourself enjoy the rule of cool for once, instead of hating something because someone told you to.
But, if you need an explanation that took 5 seconds to come up with: the Klingon ship was actively thrusting forward, while the Federation ship's automatic controls were trying to keep it in a relative-stationary position. If someone was prepared and at the Helm, they could've pulled the ship back, raised shields, and minimized the damage, but that's what cloaking fields are for.
Also, you've seen what happens when a Star Trek ship gets hit the slightest amount. Half the crew was likely flung to the floor and then three rooms over by the camera-shaking impact.
Thank you for including the Yamato. Gives me chills every single time.
10:00 yes yes oh hell yes. The greatest moment in star trek history. I remember when we saw this in the theater opening day, the crowd went nuts on there feet clapping cheering, some even crying 👍
I like how #2 used the original pre-specialized 1977 cut.
Absolutely. I'm fine with most of the additions but losing the original Death Star explosion really hurt.
Honestly Yamato’s revival especially in 2199 is my favorite starship entrance the music makes it all the more better.
yeah they got that wrong, an honorable mention? get real it clearly #1
So cool to see the original Deathstar explosion with none of the weird Horizontal CGI shockwave added.
Big Props.
Luv and Peace.
Yamato - it was the music - just perfection
Awwww man ... That Super Star Destroyer jumping and leaving its silouette of debris is crazy awesome!!!😮😮😮
Building such a ship underground is STUPID and could never have been undiscovered.
@@Muck006 it wasn't built under ground
it was built at the same time as the Executor(it's sister ship){Lusankya was built at Kuat and the Executor was built at Fondor} and it was moved to Coruscant and buried after it was Finished. the Empire claimed it was a New Power Generator for Coruscant also in the book the Scene is based on the Lusankya was put in the ground Vertically
@@joshuaward1390 Muck is trolling all over this comments section.
@@Muck006 Please stop 💩 on our enjoyment of SF cinematography. If all this stuff annoys you then why the hell are you here. Don't be a dick. 🤔
@@joshuaward1390 Yeah I'd love to see a book-accurate version. The ship is literally fighting its way out of the planet, using repulsorlift cradles to help push its fat ass upward while pouring an unimaginable amount of firepower into the planet's shields to punch a hole.
Also I'm not convinced it was buried vertically. Don't see anything that says it was (not sure if I still have the book). The amount of damage it caused coming out (259 k^2) suggests it was horizontal. I always imagined it popped out and turned straight up.
Battlestar Galactica jumping is the most bad ass of all time. The Executor is the classic and Shadow vessel was just epic foreshadowing
but the speech Ivona gave to the human /shadow hybrid is the best F.U ever
@@philiprice7875Indeed!
Old school stuff is always my favorite. "I think you should take a look at the _other_ Battlestar" (which I watched first-run), the "Adama Manoeuvre" and the Enterprise-A reveal are my personal favorites. Knowing the Enterprise-A survived into the 25th century is just a bonus.
NCC-1701-A, NX-01, and (miraculously) NCC-1701-D surviving into the 25th Century is just damn beautiful. I love all the Enterprises.
A well done list! It is good to see, that somebody like you puts so much effort in this kind of topic. Keep on and thank you!
So here are my personal top 10:
10.) The appearance and the docking of Mr. Spocks long distance shuttle in Star Trek - The Motion Picture
9.) The Tantive IV and the Imperial Star Destroyer in Star Wars Episode 4
8.) The appearance of the Event Horizon in Event Horizon
7.) The overgiving of the Defiant (Both equal up The Defiant 1 and 2) in Star Trek Deep Space Nine
6.) The appearance of the Kronos 1 in Star Trek - The Undiscovered Country; Kirk: "We have never been so close..."
5.) The overgiving of the Enterprise A in Star Trek - The Voyage Home
4.) The appearance of the Titan at the end of Titan A.E.
3.) The introducing of the Enterprise in Star trek - The Motion Picture
2.) The cutting into the Leonov in 2010 - The year we made contact
1.) Spaceballs beginning
😎
You are fast! Thank you!
Where these scenes fit into the larger context matters, of course, but Season 2 of Battlestar ending with the cliffhanger of the cylons occupying New Caprica, then being 4 episodes into Season 3 with the entire focus being on how to rescue the colonists. To have it culminate in this minute of Galactica returning had me absolutely levitating.
The first time i saw the Infinity punch through that CCS i capered around like an absolute clown. It represented (or was supposed to represent) a shift in galactic power
It did. The banished are just aholes. Leave our ships alone!
So I'm watching this block again, and it just realized when I read the caption, The Battlestar Galactica episode is now officially 20 years old. Unbelievable😮
... That feels weird, knowing that 2004 was 20 years ago.
Yeah, 100%. I remember watching the original on TV as a little kid in the late 1970s- my father, older sister, older brother and I used to watch it regularly. When the updated version came out in the 2000s, we were all over it- and around 3 years ago, I finally got my mother to watch it with me, as well. She ended up loving it just as much as I do, and was so bummed when we got to the end of the series. I can’t believe that the “newer” version is twenty years old- it just doesn’t seem possible. I tried rewatching the original series afterwards, but I just couldn’t sit through it- it’s one of those rare cases where the remake is better than the original.
This was a great video- I hadn’t seen the Yamato or the Halo stuff before, and not all of the Star Trek content, but you did a great job of selecting the examples that you did. Thanks!
And that was the REMAKE that is 20 years old. I grew up watching the original which is now 46 years old.
@@tunguskalumberjack9987 Agreed. I loved the darker nature of the remake.
@@TheProjectHelpDesk That was a big part of why I liked it so much- I found it to be so much more realistic, especially how everything impacted all of the characters- the hopelessness, the small victories, the doubts, etc. I felt it really made me sympathize with the characters, and it had so much emotional weight to it. Not everything was optimistic, the dark attitude was more of how people would truly react.
With all the problems with Enterprise A, It had to have been assembled by Boeing.

To whomever rendered that scene from the Wraith Squadron novel, you are amazing. Thank you. First time in a while I've had a grin that made my cheeks hurt.
That would be Noble Engine; his channel and the full video he made are in the description.
I thought it was also Machinima who helped create that video.
Pretty sure that was The Krytos Trap
Long time Rogue Squadron Fan here, That wasn't Wraith squadron, Wedge didn't create Wraith until after Talon Squadron was destroyed after the Bacta War. The scene of Lusankya's escape was in Rogue Squadron Krytos trap, which is followed by Bacta War then Wraith Squadron.
Hello there! Believe me I did not have help from other creators. It was Lots and lots of scrounging for better computer parts and late nights checking if my renders had crashed. Glad you liked it! And yes Wraith is from book 5 but I always liked that squadron so I figured as a nod to the Aaron Arlston book I would include it in this sort of Mashup fan film that I made.
Some that are also nice :
Serenity - the final space battle
War of the Worlds (2005) - First Encounter with Alien Tripods
Attraction (2018) - Space ship crash, one of the best I've ever seen
I have seen Star Wars over a hundred times. I still get goosebumps on "Yahoo!"
I think the abandoned ship in the original Alien (1979) was possibly the most jaw dropping. Completely unique and outside all preconceptions
Space Battleship Yamato was a cartoon called Starblazers when I was a kid. Watched it every morning before school. That was almost beat for beat how it was done in the cartoon. I always dreamed of making the cartoon into a live action movie...But, I got beat to it. I keep intending on carving out some time to watch the Space Battleship Yamato movie.
For those who loved Starblazers / Space Battleship Yamato back in the long ago, I'd suggest the Space Battleship Yamato 2199 anime series over the live action film shown here. It is one of the few reboots I will profess to prefer to the original. Largely as they kept the nostalgia laden sound effects, ship designs, and the classic character look. The graphics will look as good on your big 4k screen as they do in your memories of watching the show on those old 4:3 televisions. Also, the technical detailing of all the spacecraft designs is superior to what we had originally. It is a case wherein the computer graphics actually improve upon the original hand drawn look of the show.
It was to be a pet project by M.I. director McQuarrie in 2011 to make an English version but it never got past scripting and died recently. THE MOUSE attempted one in the mid 90's but it would have been all-American👎👎👎. Odd note that the original producer Nishizaki had died in a boating accident prior to the movie's release.
Star Blazers was a retitle and English dub of Space Battleship Yamato, because a cartoon glorifying a WWII Japanese battleship was believed to be received poorly in the States. They were afraid we'd still be salty 30 years later about Pearl Harbor. So they changed all the character names and the ship as well to English names.
5 was so obvious to be included XD This is LEGENDS, this is the SW we WANTED! That we DESERVED!
I was just thrilled to see some sort of render for the Lusankia
Nice one! Thanks for using the original footage of the Death Star blowing up. I never like the edited version with the big light ring.
I know it’s only in the honorable mentions; but I’ll never forget the chills I got when the Cleave Ship took out the Nimitz in the Battle of the Binary Stars.
The Alien invasion craft from Battle Los Angeles using explosives to decelerate before hitting the water is an awesome scene. Always stuck with me
Space Battleship Yamato will forever be one of the greatest anime turned live action sequences.
Great picks! For an anime suggestion; the SDF-1 in ep 1.
This was great. So many could have been no 1. You did great in selecting them
I hope Serenity arriving at the Mr. Universe planet with his little surprise makes it on these list :))
I didn't have it here, but I did put it in my fleet arrivals video; it's too good not to put it on a list.
@@SkywalkerFilms1927 ...ahhhhh.
I just found your top rated vids list so i will go watch some more.
Some nice cuts in this video. Thx for showing the old school Death Star blowing up without the cgi Shockwave ring.
I haven't seen the whole video yet, but the scene of Space Pirate Captain Harlock's skull-crested ship coming out of the weird black fog was always cool.
I can think of one you might want to include in future videos: The appearance of the Reaver fleet in the sky battle scene in the movie Serenity (2005).
Oh, good one!
The way the Arcadia in Space Pirate Captian Harlock warp jumps is so cool, it just appears from a black cloud with red lightning flashing. And the fact the front of the ship is literally a giant skull and cross bones makes it so much better.
Space Battleship Yamato is my favorite. Whether it's the original anime, the movie or the reimaged anime it's a great reveal. I remember in the late 80s and early 90s, I'd watch the afternoon anime cartoons with the kids. We saw all kinds of Japanese anime, and I loved it.
when the reaver fleet appears behind Serenity !
Battlestar jumping into atmosphere and falling like a rock is hands down my most favourit moment. It is badass, it feels realisitc, it puts the sizes into perspective...its just amazingly put into image.
I'm old, so I saw the first Star Wars movie (OK, "A New Hope") in the theater in 1977. When the Millennium Falcon swooped in, the entire audience erupted. It was an amazing moment.
The Executor bit was impressive. I had not watched it in such a long time, and this sequence is so much better film making than what we get now.
Without any obnoxious overexposure...
Still we don't have the reveal of the Mothership from Close Encounters. It was an incredible reveal to see the ship rising from it's hiding spot behind Devil's Tower, and then flipping over.
@@gouryg4774 I forgot that one when making my list; I put it on the list for part 3.
Love these clips. I still play Eve Online and it’s always good to see the fleet, small gang, or wing man land on grid.
"OH MY GOD! THAT'S A TITAN!"
Wasn’t expecting the Lusankia, I recognized what was happening immediately. And I love that you somehow found original footage of the Death Star blowing up.
That 'Scream' as Enterprise 1701-A goes to warp...!!!!!!!!!!!!
3:25 “I really think you should look at the other battlestar” absolutely sent me
Someone needs to add to this the Super Heavy screaming back through its own exhaust plume to be caught by the chopsticks. BEST SPACESHIP ARRIVAL EVER IN SCIENCE-FACT! 🎉🎉🎉🙌🙌🙌
The Adama manoeuver was so badass !
The sonic boom when the ship blinked out and the air rushed in where it was...❤😮
Nobody talkin' about the Lusankya sequence. I remember reading that in the books, just after Corran escaped and just... still gives me chills. Though I dont recall it jumping from inside a gravity well.
Spaceball 1 will NEVER get old

One entrance I'm personally fond of is from "Last Exile", when the Silvana shows up at the Battle of Minagis.

babylon 5 its timeless... Sinclair... Zathrus... so many of them should have gotten awards
Delan telling the Earth fleet to leave wow that was bad assed
(helm engage lets get the hell out of here NOW retreat plan)
PS - nice choice on the death star footage - no unnecessary ring coming out of the explosion - that's pre-re-release. *Thumbs up*
For sure - the Praxis effect should have remained unique to "The Undiscovered Country", in my opinion.
I remember watching Battlestar Galactica as a kid (the O.G not the remake) and that response from the cylon is so funny! 🤣
Kudos for using the *original* Death-Star-Go-Boom...
Yamato and Executor reveals should've been in the top 3 with the Millennium Falcon reveal, but thats just my opinion.
One of my favorite starship arrival scenes is in Babylon 5. After the original Ambassador Kosh has been killed, the Vorlons send a replacement. Sheriden is outside. on the front tip of the station when the ship comes through, and then it rises up directly in front of him.
The Black Star warping into the Earth forces was another good one.
Appreciate you using the pre-George-Lucas-meddling-with-it version of Star Wars.
"I really think you should look at the other battlestar" _slew_ me when I first saw that episode as a kid. The absolute incongruity of a joke at that moment was almost too much for my tiny child brain. :)
Even at 4x speed it still takes forever to get to the end of Spaceball 1! 😆
Balthazar wearing a cosplay Cylon mascot helmet is so wild!
When Worf reads off the weapons of the Scimitar and it's like nothing you've ever heard of on any warship of any capacity in all of Star Trek until that point, you realize just how wildly outgunned and outmatched the _then_ state-of-the-art Enterprise-E truly was...
Honorable mention to Spaceball One gets you a subscriber, good sentient.
EDIT: AND the first appearance of the Shadows in B5, you have excwllent taste.
While there are other SiFi franchises I like more, & love their ships... there has always been a special place in my heart for the Enterprise refit NC-1701 no bloody A, B, C, or D.
There was always something so majestic & realistic about that ship.
Glad to see you give the Yamato the praise she deserves. Great lists both patrs 1 & 2
I would have had the Enterprise scene from The Motion Picture. When Kirk and Scotty examine the ship in dock. Accompanied by the best Star Trek music, in my opinion.
Galactica jumping into New Caprica's atmosphere will always be my choice of #1
I thing the Enterprise A from ST4 was one of the best. It had a great reveal, but also lots of emotions. In the theater people clapped and cheered. The Yamato reveal is also awesome. One of my fav cartoons back in the day.
"I think you should really look at the other Battlestar".
Still my favourite.
Yamato is really great as well.
Any ship that deploys battleships and frigates is insta amazing, god damn that's epic
Uuuuummmmmmmmmm the introduction of the imperial star destroyer in the beginning of the "New Hope" should have been #1
Can't wait for the space balls 2 movie😮
Submission for part 3 of this series: the reveal of the _Götterdämmerung_ from "Iron Sky" (2012).
5:29 on up. The tie fighters are flying like grade school kids being let go for recess. Just all over the place with no clear defense groupings or anything. I’m surprised there aren’t any of them colliding into each other.
1701-D sliding in to beam up the guys from the Borg ship in Picard S03E10 should be in one of these. Yea, a lot of people panned Picard, but c'mon; that was a pretty awesome shot :)
In the Star Wars comics, the guy who was in charge of firing the Death Star laser intentionally delayed the response this time because he did not want to be responsible for any more deaths.
You can actually see it in the movie. When the Death Star is firing on Alderaan he rips the control down like he's trying to pull start a lawn mower. Above Yavin 4 when he's pulling it down, he's obviously going as slow as possible without raising the suspicion of his superiors.
@@geraldapollyon655 I think I just found my evening plans, trying to catch that guy.
In the novel 'Death Star', that particular gunner is actually a stand in- the guy who's supposed to be there is playing traitor with a bunch of folks he got close with while the station was being built
Ok the spaceballs reveal in my opinion is the best no matter what
For me personally and I love Sci fi, BSG dropping on new Caprica gave me the chills.
