According to pretty much every star trek reference I can find, including memory alpha, memory beta, Eaglemoss, and DITL, The Reman Warbird was named Scimitar, not Schimitar. Brent Spiner's name is Day-ta, not Dah-Tah. He even made a point of correcting this when Dr. Polaski said his name wrong asking "What's the difference?" to which he replied, "One is my name, the other is not." Macross had a much more epic boarding sequences. They used their capital ship, which transformed into a mile tall giant robot, to board the enemy command ship/station and destroy the structure from the inside out. They also used, on occasion, that same transformed giant robot to ram an "arm" (which was really a submersible amphibious landing craft for 30' tall walking tanks) inside an enemy ship, open the boarding ramp, and assault the enemy inside their own ship!
I saw it and other than the LUDICROUS concept of cities rolling about the landscape like off-roading 4x4s without losing all of their buildings... I liked it.
@@richardstone5552 It's not perfect (and dropped some rather important scenes from the book it was adapting, but that's the nature of adaptations).

You forgot the one from Babylon 5 where the breaching Pod comes in during the battle with the Earth Alliance ships (Severed Dreams I think is the Episode, which is actually one of my favourites!) - yes it is stupid that the armed Narns don't just let the borders walk into a crossfire and instead go for hand to hand combat, but it is still an epic scene!
I got the impression that the Narns had been spoiling for a fight after losing their homeworld. As it turned out, their hasty attack was accidentally providential... it kept the GROPOS bottled up, delaying their deployment before more security forces arrived and turned it into a melee.
@@johngardner4096 That fight was gutwrenching, there's no other way to put it. To see the wounded and dead from both sides lying on the deck was both disturbing and moving.
No Astarts episode 2? Attention all citizens of Imperium! The RUclips channel Generation Films is E X C O M U N I C A T E D by the orders of His most holly Imperial Inquisition!
I saw the title and immediately thought “oh cool, someone has seen Astartes” but no, the video let me down there. However this comments section is gold.
Best boarding action: Have your friendly (but grumpy) Asgard beam a Mk 82 nuke into the enemy hive ship's engineering section, watch the pretty fireworks.
@Klausbärbel Fömm heh starwars is just shit and just like you and seems to have forgotten that there are heavier forms of blasters available to them "dozen" isnt even close to the amount of capable people on that ship 10 seconds is just so pathetic
So you missed Babylon 5, that uses breaching pods to cut their way into a vessel. Legends of Galactic Heroes, that uses gas to make firearms useless on the ship being boarded, meaning that fighting is done in melee in space suits with axes and swords. And the big boy 40K that have more ships, vessels and devices used for boarding than most universes have different ship types in total. Some are even just torpedoes filled with men, others are huge landing crafts made for docking directly to a ship, not to mention the somewhat unreliable teleportation and the most famous drop pods that are basically made to drop from orbit, but as reentry speed is too slow they add rocket engines to make it go even faster, only to break the speed a few meters over the target. Or we could point to the Orcs way of doing it, which is really just dropping asteroids with people on and hope they survive, or a small moon in some cases, usually also filled with a uncountable amount of engines that may or may not be controlled by the same factions.
that whole movie was a "meh" in my opinion (they didn't even keep "Thun, Prince of the Lion-Men" like from the original (1930's) and from the cartoon).👎🏻🤦♂️🤦🏾♂️🙄
I gave this video a thumbs-down for: * multiple mispronounced names * recommending _Star Trek Nemesis_ as a "best ship boarding sequence" when it was just one old man with nothing but plot armor against a literal legion of alien troopers and one really badly-written clone of said old man * forgetting about _Astartes_ but mentioning _Star Trek Nemesis_
Star Trek Voyager s3 e24 Displaced - just get beamed off through shields from over 40 light years away. A casual way to hijack a ship. Star Trek - Insurrection - just beam the entire bridge crew onto a holographic simulation of their own bridge while they have to reset shields. They won't even realise. Now that's sneaky.
Adeptus Astartes make Stormtroopers look like friggin' amateurs! They load up onto a boarding TORPEDO, and, just blast their way onto an enemy ship, kill everything, and, leave.
Lots to choose from in Halo. I would’ve gone with Blue Team’s attack on Bloodied Spirit. Let the Covenant unknowingly deliver them and a bunch nukes onboard their ships. Clear the hangar bay, vent the ship from the hangar, remote detonate the nukes on the sister ship and jump away before anyone knows what happened. Bonus points for using the Covenant’s own arrogance and dogma against them. The Ferrets’ infiltration of the Keeper’s secret base was pretty slick, too.
@@bradleyrutledge I think he is which is not what was portrayed - in the novel they fly banshees through the gravity lift and drop the bomb up into the ship. Kind of disappointed as the lack of research here, especially given the number of options for boarding actions in Halo
Was thinking that too, the way they pump gas in to make lasers useless is a brilliant way of explaining why they need axes, swords and lances instead. Also would have like Babylon 5 and 40K, as in 40K it's kinda a main thing to do as they also have more vessels dedicate to bording than most universes have different ships in total.
It's also a part of a castle. A good castle design has the entrance have two gates you must pass through in order to pass that entry. In between the two gates is an empty room, above which is a hole in the ceiling that allows defenders in the room above to attack the invaders below from an elevated position. This opening is often referred to as a Murder Hole.
Macross/Robotech Daedalus manoeuver; a giant robot-ship punches an alien battleship to deliver a cadre of giant robots inside its armor and vlow it up from the inside; SDF-1 even does an improved full-bodied version inside the Mothership of the enemy fleet near the end of the series! A giant robot covered in robots firing all their weapons inside the enemy ship before engaging their reflector-field and staying inside the enemy when it explode! How could you left THAT one out and have Gravity on your list? How about 2001 Space Odyssey between Dave and Hal?

I'll have to give a #10 slot to "The Daedalus Attack" from Macross. You have Humanity manning a salvaged alien warship against a massive fleet of enemy vessels, and their one last hope, the main cannon, is rendered non functional. So what are you left to do? Turn your Ship into a Giant Mecha and PUNCH the enemy command vessel in the nose! But Wait there's more! The 'Arm' used to punch the aliens in the face was formerly a landing craft, and is currently full of an entire battlegroup of mecha, who, once inside the enemy vessel launch every missile they can bolt on to a fighting robot, at once, into the guts of the bad guy's ship. BOOM.
For me, the best ship boarding was from Babylon 5 episode Severed Dream and SeaQuest DSV season 2 final episode where the crew board enemy ship. Both using boarding ship that attach to ship's hull and cut hole in it for the crew to board.
"Open the pod bay doors HAL" If that isn't the best prelude to boarding an enemy ship i don't know what is. I'm going to assume that the Discovery One becomes your enemy when the AI controlling it kills your buddy and leaves you to die in the cold vacuum of space. Dave wrote the book on how to board enemy ships.
The Galactica ramming the Colony just goes to show how tough of a ship she is. She's supposed to be on her *last leg* at the point, but she still manages to bring the crew back alive So say we all
I personally would have gone with Star Trek First Contact with the Borg taking the Enterprise is better as they not only the most insidious, but they actually succeed, however briefly.
The Expanse novels describe a boarding action as a race. The way the authors describe it, it is practically a game of chicken. To the boarding parties, the Bridge isn't the main target, it's engineering. See, doesn't really matter who holds the bridge, because if you lose engineering, you don't really own your ship anymore. The game of chicken is between the boarders, the boarded ship's defenders, and the nerve of the captain with their hand over the self-destruct button.
What about the assault on Babylon 5? A good hard-science(ish) universe with a brutal boarding action showing the major losses on both sides that could be expected with something like a boarding action.
In Firefly was a nice boarding. When crew attempts to rescue Captain from Nishka space station. It was simpe but very elegant and more science, then fiction ;)
Some of these are pretty darn good to be fair but you some how mist the 2 best examples of sci-fi boarding actions that I've ever seen In Babylon 5 we see breaching pods witch are massive pods full of soldiers that manoeuvr alone side of there target cutting through the enemy targets haul with lasers as they make the final approach then offload there troops to the enemy vessel In my opinion this is only beaten by the tactics or maybe none tactical approach of the Margog. Who have the majority of their fleet dedicated as boarding vessels to eat and infest a target ships crew to make more baby Margog. By ramming the enemy ship in great numbers then tethering there ships to the target vessels haul and just smashing there way through with overwhelming numbers and in several locations at once
Hate me for this if ya want but Call of Duty Infinite Warfare has an awesome boarding and taking control sequence, and you get to play the guy that sets the detonator on the bridge window!
Part 1 of astartes should have made the list, amazing breaching scene of space marines

For me, the best ship boarding was from Babylon 5 episode Severed Dream and SeaQuest DSV season 2 final episode where the crew board enemy ship.
Both using boarding ship that attach to ship's hull and cut hole in it for the crew to board.
"Open the pod bay doors HAL"
If that isn't the best prelude to boarding an enemy ship i don't know what is. I'm going to assume that the Discovery One becomes your enemy when the AI controlling it kills your buddy and leaves you to die in the cold vacuum of space. Dave wrote the book on how to board enemy ships.
The Galactica ramming the Colony just goes to show how tough of a ship she is. She's supposed to be on her *last leg* at the point, but she still manages to bring the crew back alive
So say we all
Prince Vultan's winged Hawkmen boarding Ming the Merciless' imperial space cruiser in the movie "Flash Gordon" was pretty good for it's time.
Uhhh...I think you forgot the movie INTERSTELLAR. That docking scene was AMAZING. Come on Tars!
Docking isn't a boarding action.
@@jfangm - If Sandra Bullock (in the movie Gravity) is on the list, then I'm sure Interstellar qualifies.
@@TheBigExclusive
It's still not a boarding.
@@jfangm Yes it is docking. What you MEANT to say was BOARDING.🙄🤦🏾♂️🤦♂️👎🏻

Lolz
ADHD, so stfu.
I personally would have gone with Star Trek First Contact with the Borg taking the Enterprise is better as they not only the most insidious, but they actually succeed, however briefly.
The Expanse novels describe a boarding action as a race.
The way the authors describe it, it is practically a game of chicken. To the boarding parties, the Bridge isn't the main target, it's engineering. See, doesn't really matter who holds the bridge, because if you lose engineering, you don't really own your ship anymore. The game of chicken is between the boarders, the boarded ship's defenders, and the nerve of the captain with their hand over the self-destruct button.
What about the assault on Babylon 5? A good hard-science(ish) universe with a brutal boarding action showing the major losses on both sides that could be expected with something like a boarding action.
In Firefly was a nice boarding. When crew attempts to rescue Captain from Nishka space station. It was simpe but very elegant and more science, then fiction ;)
I'm surprised you didn't add Saesee Tiins boarding of a Separatist warship from the 2003 Clone Wars show
Some of these are pretty darn good to be fair but you some how mist the 2 best examples of sci-fi boarding actions that I've ever seen
In Babylon 5 we see breaching pods witch are massive pods full of soldiers that manoeuvr alone side of there target cutting through the enemy targets haul with lasers as they make the final approach then offload there troops to the enemy vessel
In my opinion this is only beaten by the tactics or maybe none tactical approach of the Margog. Who have the majority of their fleet dedicated as boarding vessels to eat and infest a target ships crew to make more baby Margog. By ramming the enemy ship in great numbers then tethering there ships to the target vessels haul and just smashing there way through with overwhelming numbers and in several locations at once
The Scimitar is a Reman warship, not Romulan.
Nice that you have the Arcadia in the back ground.
Hate me for this if ya want but Call of Duty Infinite Warfare has an awesome boarding and taking control sequence, and you get to play the guy that sets the detonator on the bridge window!
The breech pods were used before the Expanse in the series Babylon 5 episode Severed Dreams.
Earth Alliance boarding Babylon 5 during Severed Dreams deserves a place
*talks about boarding*
Has the Arcadia in the background.
Well played
The Arcadia would be a nice unarmed transport in 40k.
Didn't know there were more than two
Surprised way of the warrior from DS9 didn’t get a mention.
Allen should do the 9 best Jay Baruchel quotes coz he sounds exactly like him.
What about the scene with the Ossarian Pirates in Star Trek Enterprise??
"BEST" lmao
NEVER!
Babylon 5 has a better scene in Severed Dreams. Theres also a breaching scene in the episode A View from the Gallery.
In all of Sci-Fi? Including Mortal Engines?!
