Love the elegant movement of practical models, especially the "big" Enterprise-D. The last movie to have this "feel" in space was First Contact. After that, it was ALL (early, by today's standards) CGI, all the time.
The only changes I liked to the Excelsior I liked are the nacelles. The added impulse engines did nothing for me, and even though the added sections to engineering prevented any damage to the original model, it made the ship look ugly.
I like how the Nexus missile simply blew up in Soren's face without fanfare the second time around. Also, the Nexus was a scary-looking mass of energy on the outside, but inside, it was truly Heaven.
+Brunhilde at least the E looks amazing, the D (at least in my opinion) was by far the fattest and bulkiest ship, and it's Nacelles seemed to wide and unsubtle
Why was deflector control so far ahead and in front of to the side of the deflector on the B? Shouldn't it have been closer to the dish itself? Maybe above and behind it or below and just behind it?
There was supposed to be a paperback where the saucer section was modified and to some kind of colony does anyone know the name of that book and if it wasn't actual paperback and who actually wrote it if you know I would like to know and if you know where I can get a copy I would love to you even by 1 where I can buy one thank you
even though the crash landing of the enterprise was one of the best parts in the movie, I just wish they could have shown her putting up more of a fight before taking the final dive. there have been episodes where they would fire literally dozens of torpedoes and phasers at a single target. but here, they fire a single phaser, make a 180 degree turn, and then fire a torpedo. for a ship that has endured so many battles, they should have at least made the final battle intense for both sides.
I like the FX in this movie except for the recycling of scenes from Start Trek 6. The FX are pretty crisp and they did a good job of trying to make the Enterprise seem big especially at 3:42 ... something that they couldn't do on the TV show budget
This has to be the dumbest battle scene this entire genre has ever had. Why in the worlds would a battle ship turn and run from a light cruiser? Nevermind that there's no way its going to evade without warp. If in ST 3 the enterprise out-gunned the enemy "10 to 1" this would be more like 50 to 1. All they had to do was floor it and empty the torpedo bay.
this was the last star trek movie to be made while paramount was owned by paramount communications. first contact was the first to use the Viacom byline.
agreed because the war criminals saw the operating systems and the "weak points" of the ship and also I believe riker was doing standard protocol and was trying to get out of orbit so they could have room to fire and the chance the enterprise went down the warp core breach wouldnt make the planet unihabitable...oh and too protect the bridge... the only dumb thing he did was not trying to fire phasers to at least scare them into cloaking
Easy to forget how few shots of the Enterprise D they could actually afford. Her first shot has gorgeous lighting, but it's hardly a beauty pass - she just barely nudges into the frame!
Well, another possibility is that the battle caused the ejection systems to go offline. Think about it, the shields were useless because Soren gave the crew of that Klingon bird of prey a way to see through Geordi’s visor, thus allowing them to see the shield frequency. That meant the Enterprise was getting systems battered hard with each torpedo fired at it.
@@alexandergarcia6815 let me put it this way TNG is set 70 years after Star Trek 6. They should have been able to destroy the old ship like swatting a fly.
I actualy like this movie, picard wasnt a action hero as in the other movies, it show how family is a sensitive subject to him. Kirk be in the future was stupid but i give a pass to have the only look of the enterprise B. Also kirk death dont bother me since in the 24th centry he would be dead anyway. I dont know, i like this movie even tho it is flawed.
The Federation/Star Fleet Corps of Engineers are going to have a difficult time removing any traces of their existence (transforming the surface to eliminate the gulch, transplanting trees to match the age and species of the remaining ones, fix sheared off hill tops, ect...) before the bronze age inhabitants on the forth(?) planet evolve their sciences, that will result in space flights to this planet and, despite the Corps work will most likely find something they missed ;-) The lore of the shimmering sky snake and the sun that had awoken and died.
Well put , well put . Total crap. Funny no one had the smarts to change the shield frequency !!! Yes they out gunned them 50 to 1 !! I would have fired phasers and a fierce foley of photon torpedoes. I don't have this movie and for good reason as you can see. Unworthy !!!
Bureaucrats: read report on the destruction of the galaxy class starship enterprise Bureaucrats: Oh well must have been severely outgunned Also the bureaucrats: reads that there was only one Klingon vessel.
Здравствуйте Дelta, Вам не стоит делать резких движений,это очень дорогое имущества,Вы видели какие последствия могут быть? Исследовано.С добром Delta,умейте дружить с гостями.
Yeah, look at at those beauty shots of the E-D (even while being shot to Hell!) and just _try_ to tell me with a straight face that she was destroyed because she "didn't look good on the big screen." She did, and it was obvious beforehand that she would. Berman (or someone above him) thought he could sell more merch with the next movie if he had a shiny new spaceship to dangle in front of the fans... and he was right, I'm afraid.
Depending on where and how starships are damaged, a lot of things can go wrong. In this case, I suppose warp and impulse were shut down due to the warp core breach that occurred shortly after.
Actually if you look at the books they released all they Klingons hit were the deuterium tanks (not the antimatter) and while that might shut down the warp drive the Enterprise D and E can run all systems, minus warp drive, at full power without the warp core. Also the primary hull can run weapons at full power by itself (Best of Both Worlds).
I never realized how little the Enterprise D was shown. No real beauty passes! Also, the retextured big model somehow doesn't look at impressive as the smaller detailed model did on the show, but the lighting for this movie is at times more dramatic than the TV FX was.
