I felt the same way - the tension, the emotion, the grip and intrigue. Never gets old.

you must be joking

As Ewan McGregor would say "Too fucking right."

Me too :D

WadeStar ..woahh 2010. Guess this movie stood the test of time

HOLY MOLY

My fave is The Undiscovered Country when it comes to Kirk and crew but as for The Next Generation films it's First Contact. Rebooted aka Kelvin Era films? Beyond

Thanks. That is high praise indeed.

100% this. 13 years on (2023) and this is ACES.

@@cps2204right!? I just watched again... Still impressed!

They are models. This person just updated the special effects.

Right! That's why Kirk says to her later, "You go right on quoting the regulations!" He knows he screwed up!

That's true, but if you think of it like this, it does seem more plausible. I don't know what country you're from, but I'll use mine, but any country with a powerful navy would be the same. So, say you're not in a war (as in a world war....the U.S. is always in little skirmishes...sometimes not so little) and say (and I know they wouldn't travel like this, far from home, but aside from this, suspend your disbelief and just say this happened) a U.S. Battleship in U.S. waters would not garner suspicion of another U.S. ship. The only thing is I believe I read the Ceti Alpha V and VI was in Klingon space, but we've got to remember in the Star Trek universe, it's commonplace for Starships to travel alone. Makes for more compelling TV and movies. Ok, so aside from this, seeing another U.S. carrier let's say it's the real U.S.S. Enterprise CVN-80, (due to be launched in 2025 according to Wikipedia) go.shr.lc/2TJsOkW So, the Enterprise comes up against the USS John F. Kennedy. The Enterprise hails them and gets no response. The Enterprise is not going to just start shooting another U.S. ship unless it has confirmation it's been taken over by a hostile force (which would be highly unlikely....right). So, we don't have plasma shields yet (but we're working on it) so I don't know what type of alert system the Navy has when it's in a possibly dangerous situation. Ok so long story short, a U.S. Carrier or Destroyer, Cruiser etc, wouldn't fire on another U.S. ship unless they knew it had been hijacked, so if you take couple situations and just "go with it", I could buy it. Actually watching that clip again actually shows you how close they tried to model it after a Carrier or Sub. They have blast doors, doors that seal compartments. Also, all the new carriers are nuclear powered so that's sort of like a warp core breach, except I think people would just suffer from radiation poisoning. I don't think a nuclear-powered ship would just blow up, but leak radiation if it as hit sure. At any rate, none of this would happen because any ship traveling far from home would be in a battle group from any country.

I concur with the statements made. The graphics are actually better than the originals.

If it had been the TNG crew Diana would have just said: "By the way, there's a guy named Khan aboard that ship who really doesn't like you."

yes and i agree and I am certain that even at close range Enterprise would have taken a decent punch but not as severe if shields were raised.

That’s my favorite part of this scene as well. I love how it narrowly misses hitting the Enterprise

First Contact is way better I think

Not really. The Borg as a concept were diminished by the introduction of the Queen and characters did not resemble their TV personas. (Angry)Piccard was nothing like TNG and Worf would have never spoken those lines to the man who defended his honor before the Klingon High Concil. Also they turned the already established character of Zephram Cochrane into unlikeable alcoholic. The commercial potential for a practical warp drive makes no sense if North America was still broke and recovering from WWWIII. It was a bad plot just admit it. People only like because it came off like an Trek action film. There are only two passable TNG movies and all of them are worse than the TOS ones save ST:V.

wuushew You’re overthinking it & clinging too closely to what you think Star Trek lore should be. It was a beautiful story about the triumph of the individual over collectivism & evil. Wrath of Khan is just a bad guy being a bad guy then he loses. Lol

wuushew You hit the nails right on the head. _First Contact_ was the beginning of a yet uncorrected nosedive for Star Trek Cinema. To this day IMO _Generations_ remains the last good Star Trek Movie; key word “Good” because it’s not great, but still superior in its story telling to everything that has followed.

I think The Undiscovered Country is better. But TWOK is damn good.

Wow, that's genuine alright :)

I never noticed that before, and I've been watching this for 20 years. He was just shocked at the POWER of the Montalbán!

I had watch the scene so many times this sense year March 2020 and I never noticed that

the power of Khan...FIRE!!!!!!!

@@MrVolcanoGA Same and I have all the movies plus the Kelvin Era movies

Yeah you would think they would have a control stick not a trillion buttons

There is a novel out there about Khan's time on Ceti Alpha IV called "To Reign in Hell: The Exile of Khan Nonnien Signh" that explains how he came to learn those Klingon proverbs. Damn good book.

Sadly her class became cannon fodder in DS9.

I also like the design!

@@Schlipperschlopper So ominous in appearance even before Khan got hold of her.

@@Scioneer... But think of how sturdy the Miranda and Excelsior classes were to make it to service in the 24th century when other classes of the time fell by the wayside... testament to good design!

@@DiscoRaptor I get that, my comment was more towards the production team treated the Miranda's then towards the Miranda herself. TWOK showed how tough the class was.

jaredloveless 1 year ago Me too. James Horner is the best!

Same. Every scene is enhanced greatly by a truly fitting masterpiece. Sad to think he is no longer with us but at least we have this to treasure for all eternity.

@@hotdog1214 Yeah.... R.I.P James Horner (from August 14, 1953 to June 22, 2015)

@@hotdog1214 indeed... the score just stitched everything together and made the scene so much more powerful.

N C C 1701. No bloody A, B, C, or D.

@@mdcraig62 Ain't that the one Kirk blowed up over the Genesis Planet?

True, glad it didn't have a higher budget mind, afterall, ST 2, unlike the predecessor, was a far better return on the studio's investment and led to many more films and arguably everything else that followed. Thanks to Nick Meyer for showing Paramount that trek could make good money without emulating star wars, just wish they would believe in that potential again.

I'm gonna say .......... Not Cumberbatch.!

He was just like that in 'Space Seed'.

@@DocMicrowave I think Cumberbatch did a fine job. Far less charming than Montalban but very nearly as menacing.
