Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Spacedock scene FIXED

  • Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is an amazing film. Not only is it still (by far) the best Star Trek film, it was the most efficient. After the huge cost overruns of the first motion picture it had to be made on almost a TV movie-of-the-week budget. Several effects shots of the Enterprise had to be reused from the first film. Notably the sequence where Kirk and party board the Enterprise from their travel pod. Using almost shot for shot from the 1st motion picture, Kirk’s pod approaches the Enterprise in “Spacedock.” However the Enterpise can clearly be seen in its refit dry dock. The glorious Spacedock Model wouldn’t be built by ILM until the next film, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. To that end I decided to recomposit the Enterprise into Earth’s Spacedock using rotoscoping and new matte paintings I created for this sequence. First Kirk journeying into Spacedock to meet Spock and his trainee crew for inspection. Then the ship powering up to leave on its fateful mission. While i’m not one to mess with a masterpiece like this film I will say the one area it may improve the film is the character Saavik. When Spock lets her command the ship out of Spacedock it is played for tension. Kirk seems very uneasy at her piloting the ship. In the original cut all the ship has to do is thrust straight forward. Now in this new version there’s a bit more jeopardy if she can successfully navigate out of the huge hanger bay they are docked in. That said there have been a few attempts at this type of sequence made by designers over the years. However none used the original optical shots of the models and relied on lower fidelity home made CG models. The refit Enterprise is one of my favorite models of all time and still looks amazing. I built this very model when I was 10 years old. It was a lot of fun to play with this model again.

      @@rightofcenter1977 I agree that .25 impulse is definitely too fast for that enclosed structure. TBH, though, that whole scene is a bit wonky no matter what. Spock asks if Saavik has ever piloted a ship out of spacedock, but said piloting consists of sitting in the captain's chair and giving a couple of orders. It seems as though the hard part is on the helmsman (unless you do something embarrassing like forget to order release of the docking clamps (or forget to release the parking brake like Sulu does in the Kelvin timeline)).
      Ironically, Saavik should have the training to actually pilot the Enterprise out of the spacedock. Based on everything we've seen about Starfleet Academy training, we can assume that she is versed in the fundamentals of piloting smaller craft and has sufficient proficiency to take the helm of the Enterprise in an emergency or on an off shift.

      I agree that the ordered speed while leaving spacedock is very well mirrored in this cut. And yet it bugs me to see the Enterprise rush out of the dock, because the beauty of the scene lies in seeing the ship flying by in a more majestic way. It's (as far as I remember) the first scene of the movie in which the Enterprise is shown, so it's kind of a re-introduction to the Big E. And that is something that should be celebrated and not be rushed for accuracy's sake.

      1/4 impulse is 1,852 kilometers per second (at least in TNG) - the space dock is about 4 kilometers wide. So they should have left space dock in around 2 milliseconds.

      Remember the scene on Star Trek 6, where Valaris is questioning about impulse engines in space dock, and Kirk has the ship sail out of the space dock?. Well originally it was supposed to be Saavik in # 6. And the scene was supposed to be Kirk getting back at her for the scene from TWOK.
      But Saavik was replaced in # 6, so the scene kind of lost its charm.
      Kirk's revenge for Saavik scaring the hell out of him back in 2285 never happened. Remember she destroyed the Enterprise in the training room now she was piloting the real thing.

    One thing that always jarred with me, was the docking scene. It was originally from the “motion picture”, and was reused for “The wrath of Khan”. Whilst it was docking for the port torpedo bay, you can clearly see it was docking for the port side engineering.

      And, why does the Torpedo Bay have two airlocks anyway ? 🤔

      That's a possibility. There are more seasons of Lower Decks, Picard, and Discovery. We're also supposed to get "Strange new worlds" a series featuring the Enterprise with Pike and Spock, so after "The Cage" maybe? I'd love to see a series with Saavik as Captain set after the Voyage Home possibly. With the long Vulcan life span, Robin Curtis could totally reprise the role in Picard Season 2, voice the role if she appears on Lower Decks, or if they pick up any other stories in the TNG/DS9/VOY/LD time frame. For a while I've wanted to a series with Sulu captaining the Excelsior. Saavik would be a fun addition to that crew. We don't have too much experience with 2 vulcans on a crew. Would Saavik get along with Tuvok?
      Hilliard, if you got your wish, what ship would she be captaining?
