Instead of being unceremoniously de-commisioned, the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 fought like a warrior in its last battle and died a beautiful death in space. I'll miss this ship like everyone else of course, but at least she died the way a historic Federation Starship like that was supposed to - giving everything it had right up to the last second. QUOTE: "Turning death into a fighting chance to live!"

@nellieworkman3402 9 жыл бұрын

Luna Rose Of course, I wouldn't call the Klingons in this film "The Bad Guys"... From Kruge's point of view, the Federation had been testing a weapon, not a terraforming tool, one that would completely change the balance of power, and could potentially be used on them. Kruge sacrificed a lot for the Klingon Empire, including his wife and his crew, and he lost only because Kirk tricked him, which is absolutely humiliating for a Klingon. It's one of the things that makes this film so underrated... The Klingons are antagonists, but certainly not Villains. As far as they knew, everything they were doing was just and honorable.

Interesting Factoid: According to Leonard Nimoy’s commentary on the blu ray disc, it was necessary to create two versions of the destruction of the Enterprise. Apparently the original sequence looked too much like the Death Star explosion from Return of the Jedi, so Nimoy had Industrial Light and Magic go back and create a new, more unique destruction scene for the Enterprise.

The Enterprise was such a major character in this movie, probably more so than any of the other films. As when she docks in after returning from her battle with Khan and everybody on the space port looked at her and her battle scars and were shocked to see the damage she took like a broken soldier that will never be the same again. Or how she was going to be decommissioned "Put down" like a lame horse who just ran the greatest race of her life but was too broken to ever win again. It was a bitter sweet ending for her, but she went out on the field in battle like all great warriors should go. Not in a dock or a dark room, but on the field of honor where she dominated and made herself the legend she was.

@BoroTN30 7 жыл бұрын

The scene with David's death is one of Shatner's finest performances as James T. Kirk, but I'll put this one right up there. Kirk said in "Court Martial" that "nothing is more important than my ship." He also said in "The Naked Time" that he would "never lose you ... never" to the Enterprise. But we see now that there IS something more important than his ship: saving the lives of his friends who'd sacrificed so much. When Kirk finds out David is dead, he does something he's never done before: he stumbles on the bridge of the Enterprise. He takes a moment to lose himself in grief: to be Jim Kirk, a father who lost the son he'd just started to get to know ... just a brief moment. Then he becomes James T. Kirk, galactic hero, once more. James Doohan and Walter Koenig also deserve a great deal of credit for how they played the destruct sequence. When Kirk requests security access, Scotty has a curious look on his face: "What rabbit is he pulling out of his hat now?" When Kirk says, "Destruct sequence one", Scotty has a look of shock and Chekov has one of stunned disbelief as he turns to his captain. After Kirk enters the first sequence, he gives an expectant look to Scott, who has a look of "Are we really doing this?" for a brief moment. Then he does his duty for Jim Kirk, as he has for so many years, by entering in the second sequence; he has faith in whatever Kirk has planned. Chekov is still wearing an expression of disbelief. Then, while Chekov slowly (and still with a look of disbelief) speaks the third sequence, Scott keeps looking between the computer and Kirk ... still quietly gauging his captain. His face gets more emotional as the scene goes on. It's a mix of resignation to the inevitable combined with a sick horror. Chekov just stares straight ahead. And Kirk's face never once wavers from a look of steady resolve, even after he all but whispers the final code. Again, expertly played by Shatner, Doohan, and Koenig. Only actors who are intimately familiar with their characters and understand just how important the Enterprise is to Star Trek could play that scene with such emotion, even with such minimal dialogue. And Nimoy's choice to slowly zoom in until we are right in Kirk's face at the end was perfect. And then, there's the scene on the Genesis Planet as the five men watch the Enterprise, the ship that has been their professional home for years on and off, burns to cinders in the atmosphere. The music combined with the camera movement across the actors' and their expressions are gut wrenching: Sulu's and Chekov's looks of quiet sadness are upsetting, but then the camera pans to Scotty: he has naked pain all over his face. And finally we see Kirk and McCoy. Kirk's expression is the hardest to read: pain, sorrow, disbelief ... and somehow McCoy puts it in perspective. They only have a moment to grieve, and then the magnitude of their situation sinks in: they still have a mission to carry out, and they need to get off this planet.

This, just this. Shatner's stumble onto the floor wasn't planned, it was a flub that was so impactful they kept that version. All three men, the characters and the actors, know they are sending a fourth to her death, and it's the hardest decision the characters ever make. Throughout history, ships have been given names and pronouns, which differ among cultures but not in importance. The name can be one of many things: a memorial for a fallen officer of the past, a continued legacy of a previous ship, or a wet behind the ears newcomer. None of that matters, as that ship becomes its own person. It has its quirks, its flaws, its own distinct personality which the crew will know over time and adapt to it. The ship *IS* a part of the crew. The only modern equivalent is the order to abandon ship and then order the ship scuttled. What is done here is worse, as it's more like taking the family dog, with all the familial connections that can imply, to the vet to have them put down. Anyone who has been through that will know the pain of seeing a family member pass before their eyes and know that they are ending suffering. The "death" of U.S.S. Enterprise N.C.C.-1701 is that but worse, as she is more than a pet, more than family, and more than home. She is all that and more. She is a character a generation grew up with, a home the crew fought to protect and preserve, and a dream generations beyond Roddenberry's vision look upon. Enterprise-C was an episode, Enterprise-D was a movie, but Enterprise, no bloody A, B, C, D, or E, was a character. We may mourn for her, but we will still salute her passing.

Oh my goodness, really this is Shatner at his very best what a marvelous job he did in these scenes. You could almost feel the punch in the gut he went through when he lost David. And yet... his Kirk rose above his personal pain to do exactly what was needed to bring about the good. To do, as Bones says, “what you always do, turn earth into a fighting chance for life” . There’s a reason why Kirk is an international heroic icon. As far as I’m concerned the “best Kirk moments” are all 79 episodes of TOS and all 6 movies.

This is the reason why the new Star Trek movies will never compare to the original ones or the cast. I'll always be a TOS fan for that

@k1productions87 9 жыл бұрын

The reason they will never compare is because moviegoing audiences and film production studios have also changed in the 30 years since. There is no way to make a movie of this type today and have it sell,... in fact, it would bomb so hard in the box office, Paramount would likely throw the whole franchise in the vault, never to be seen again. A movie MUST guarantee box office return, or it is deemed a failure, if even green-lighted for production at all. That is a FACT. And another fact is that Star Trek was completely out of steam in 2008, and needed a dumbed down blockbuster just to regain traction. There is greater interest in TOS now than there ever was in the decade before 2009, if not two.

@k1productions87 5 жыл бұрын

@1977Melville The new movies were basically just appetizer to get a new audience interested in watching the old show they hadn't originally considered watching. And in that, it succeeded. I cannot count how many people I've met who became fans of the show that they never thought they'd like because the movie got them curious enough to watch. AS for "Fast and Furious in space" I honestly do not understand that comparison. What, because there was a car in the first one, and a motorcycle in the third? If you really want to go there, it had been that way already with the dune buggy in Nemesis. Other sci-fi movies have had vehicle chase scenes as well, even on the other side of the millennium. They are just much easier to visualize with today's filmmaking technology

+Schwatvogel Love the way that in this scene there is a visual and musical callback to Wrath of Khan when they're running down from the bridge to the transporter room: it's almost exactly the same as when Kirk runs down to engineering at the end of WoK when he realizes that Spock is in mortal danger. This parallels the thematic reversal of WoK/SfS: in Wrath of Khan Spock sacrifices himself to save the Enterprise. In Search for Spock Kirk sacrifices the Enterprise as part of his mission to save Spock. And, of course, sometimes the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many... SfS is underrated.
