One thing Star Trek III absolutely nailed was the hurt and pain on Kirk's face and in his voice as he watches the destruction of his beloved Enterprise.
My God Bones...what have I done?
@@jasonsnyder7753 "What you always do...turn death into a fighting chance to live." That's one thing missing from all post-TOS franchises. I mean, at that point, the Enterprise was a crippled, barely holding on, soon to be retired ship, devoid of her crew. And Kirk still mourned her loss. Contrast with Picard's casual reaction to the destruction of the -D and the offhand dismissal of the -E, "Plenty of letters left in the alphabet." I love Picard, but Kirk would never say that about his 1701.
@@vengeance1701 At least Sisko felt the pain of loss with not only the Defiant, but even the Saratoga. As much as I dislike the design of the Defiant, I won't deny she had more personality than any of the post-TOS ships. Conversely, Voyager was the best-looking, but had the least personality, especially since she'd be torn to shreds or blown up time and time again with no consequence LOL
It was the only moment between leading his friends to safety and facing the next threat, he could permit himself to feel the loss. He'd just lost his only son, his home the past twenty years, his true love, if you will, in only a matter of minutes. He'd but a moment on the bridge to recoil from David's death, now his great starship was gone, too. He'd thrown away his career, and probably those of his friends for what may turn out to be nothing at this point. It has not been a "nice day."
I once watched the episode The Tholian Web with my nephew and he thought Captain Kirk missed his chair on the Bridge while he was caught in the interphase. According to Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, he technically did when he sat in his new chair on the Enterprise A where he and Dr. McCoy say to each other “What’s the matter, Jim? I miss my old chair, Bones”.
"My God, Bones...what have I done?"
"What you had to do--what you always do--turn death into a fighting chance to live."
It was either this, or leaving her to slowly rot in a museum for all eternity.
I tend to quote Kruge's "Getoutofthere!" when I play online multiplayer matches in video games. 😂 Thank goodness for Kirk and co the transporter was ten seconds away from the Bridge. 🤣
Your re-imagined visuals of the exterior shots of the Enterprise blowing up directly after this would have been the cherry on top! Regardless, fantastic work as usual!
BIG FACTS! I agree.
I'm sure it's in the works...;-)
It's really dangerous over there.
Yes 💯
"Zero, zero, zero...destruct...zero."
Every time. Kirk's voice.
Modern day cyber secruity experts have to have a stroke when they here this password.
@@TheGeneral308 it's 2FA. Any other voice uttering the same password would not be accepted.
One, Two, Three continuity, abort destruct order.
@@silkwesir1444It's actually 3FA - you have to have the right voice, the right code, and 2 other high ranking officers have to help you.
I've shed a tear or two during a few movies... but this is the only scene in all my 50 years where I just lost it and cried like crazy. My Aunt took me to see this movie... she was asking if I was ok... wondering why I was crying so bad. If you're not a Star Trek fan, you just don't get it. The Enterprise is just as essential to the mythos of Star Trek as is Kirk, Spock and McCoy. It wasn't just another space ship being blown up in another space movie. This was the U.S.S. Enterprise... I ship that I had watched endlessly on TV and movies. Read books, played with toys. Seeing her go was like watching an old friend die... it's still a hard scene for me to watch.
Enterprise fought like a warrior throughout her service 🫡
Looking at this makes me think it has always been there. It’s not a detail that takes away from the Original movie but adds to the existing details and enhances.
Hardest minute to endure.
Well done sir. Painfully reminding us those events actually happened in real time.
Dang it. Now I gotta watch the movie again because of this video
Usually a Hollywood minute is more than a minute but they kept this perfectly timed, amazing.
True, but only thanks to cuts in filmography. Realistically, the turbolift trip, run through corridors, setting the transporter, engaging it, then Klingons coming in, moving (while at fast pace, still not running) through corridors and getting to bridge with those 20 seconds to spare ... you couldn't do all the previous in 40 seconds.
Love how you echod the voice line to make it seem like it was being broadcast through out the Enterprise
Wow!🤯💥💢💥💢💥💥💢💥💢💢💯
Seeing the Enterprise destroyed was like seeing a major character die. And she was.🥺
It was a horrible moment from my childhood. NCC-1701 was my first love among sci-fi ships.
Great job - you do great work. The added touch is Kirk, Scotty, and Checkov's personal ID photos look as goofy as most people's ID badges in real life!
That's what I was thinking too!
@@JTVFX1 Have you considered making the actual destruction of the Enterprise?
@@JTVFX1 What did you use to make this ?
The reaction this gave when I first saw it as a kid. No matter what you thought you were sure that Kirk was going to show up and kill the Klingons and the destruction was just a ruse. Everyone who was a Trekkie at the time felt that. Kirk always won, he did this trick before in TOS. So why would it be any different now? Even when the bridge blew up you just couldn't accept what was happening and any minute now the ship was going to be saved some how. Then you saw the saucer just disintegrate before that big explosion and it reality hit you as you watched the ship start burning in the atmosphere. That's how a lot of Trekkie's I knew felt at the time. Stunned silence watching the ship burn up in the atmosphere of Genesis, coming only second to Spock's death. And this happened right after David was killed too, so it was a double whammy.
What drives this scene home even more is the reactions of the actors. Kirk's grim determination, and the shock on Scotty and Chekov's face as if they were slapped when he said "destruct sequence." And if you watch Scotty through the entire code sequence it's almost like he is glaring daggers at Kirk. And just how much they further sold it on the planet, the entire scene Scotty never takes his eyes off the falling Enterprise, until Kirk finally looks back at him after Sulu tells him about the core readings of the planet. You could tell he was the most affected of all.
Omg....that is part of the movie I hate the most setting the computer to destroy the Enterprise I'll never forget we saw that movie opening weekend when Kirk said computer destruct sequence 1 the audience all gasped at once some were saying no no but it's a good Recreation once again another great piece of work
And how did the audience react when the Enterprise's saucer blew up?
@@bennyfisher9157 complete, total, shock.
@@ncc1701chris Did people cry and if so, how much?
@@bennyfisher9157 yes I'm old enough to remember when these movies were new there were a few that did actually cry most of the theater were just in shock
@@ncc1701chris And how did people react when the Enterprise returned in Star trek 4?
I remember how's sad I was when I saw this scene on the big screen for the first time!!! You captured that moment brilliantly!!! 🖖
😱 YO!! THIS is gave me the chills, the demise of the original Enterprise (refit) to the Klingons away team. I loved how you put their dialogue in the ship's intercom. THIS IS🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😨😯👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you for reimagining one of the biggest tearjerker moments of my childhood. xD
Seeing this when it happened back in 1984, was it as big of an event as I think it was? Can you elaborate? I was born in 1985 so I just missed the launch of this great and underappreciated movie
@@Deep_Armageddon I wasn't even born by then, but as a kid we had all six original Star Trek movies on VHS. So unfortunately, I can't exactly speak for reactions at the time. xD
@@jurassickaiju14 oh ok. I love meeting fellow Star Trek geeks like me.
LLAP my friend.
@@Deep_Armageddon 🖖
Just as sad as the first time we see it. Fantastic job as usual.
Amazing, just amazing! The detail, imagery used, and perfect timing with the movie’s audio. Bravo!
This is well done. It's an visual improvement but doesn't break with the 80's style. Top !
That's like upgrading to Windows Vista
It's cool to see the screen counting down with the voices behind it. Totally different POV. Love the ending too.
I had to double check and you nailed Chekov’s serial number he gave the NCIS Agent in The Voyage Home. Kudos.
I've had that memorized for decades, but I thought it ended with a B and not a D. I'll have to check the closed captioning on IV.
Oh my goodness. I did not even think about them being NCIS agents, even after watching all the incarnations of NCIS for years. I shall go back and watch The Voyage Home again.
WOW, AWESOME!!! I had always imagined what that sequence might actually be like. You have done my imagination justice. Thank you! LLAP 🖖🏼
Computer: *Awaiting final code for one minute countdown*
Kirk: Code 000…Destruct….0.
Kirk’s voice gets me everytime. 😥
The Enterprise computer authenticated the final destruct code based on the vocal tone and emotional intonation of how Kirk said "Destruct".
One of the last things those Klingons saw. Recalling Torg's puzzled reaction, though, led me to suspect that he wasn't familiar with the Terran numbering system. Perhaps not a requirement for low-ranking personnel. Kruge, naturally, WOULD have been required to be familiar with Federation Standard so as to avoid potential miscommunications in the event of contact with Starfleet vessels. Nicely done! 🖖😎👍
The Klingon crew got sent to Stovokor by the greatest warrior in the galaxy.
They were also expecting armed resistance, so that was their first priority. As he told Kruge, they expected to be outnumbered 10-1 for a vessel of that size. They didn't expect that it was run on autopilot by a skeleton crew.
Brilliantly done and love the ending
Love that the computer uses publicity photos for the identification! lol.
What it's like to die on a self destructing starship from the interior POV.
I hope Torg and Commander Kruge's other crewmen on that boarding party were carrying wallets full of darseks. Because those motherfuckers ended up taking the barge of the dead al the way to Grethor, and I'm sure Kortar the Ferryman wanted payment up front!
The music for this scene always gets me
WHOA!!! That last little bit was really....WHOA!!! Great video by the way! LOL
Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about! Fantastic work! Thank you!
Got a nice chuckle out of My Lord Kruge's echoing radio voice. Nicely done as usual.
2:16 Kruge realizing what time it is--literally
I think it’s fantastic that you have been using the klaxon from the Motion Picture in your reimaginings!! Can’t wait to see what you have upcoming!
That was badass!
1) I was half expecting a "have a nice day"
2) Leaving the factory defaults for important passwords is still a thing in the future
From five to zero, no command in the world will stop the computer from fulfilling it's destruct order.
I love everything about this, I really liked after Kirk gave the final code the "red alert" sound beeped once and then didn't go back on till less than 10 seconds, just little touches like that is what makes all your work worth watching again and again, just little stuff like that. Thank you very much!! LLAP
Beautiful! Thank you so much for making this!
Epic work as always...! Chills and good memories of golden days of Trek
God Rest Teresa E. Victor (assistant to late Star Trek veteran Leonard Nimoy) for providing the voice of the Enterprise main computer on the 3rd Star Trek Original Series movie The Search For Spock
At least she's in heaven with Majel Barrett-Roddenberry (1st lady of Star Trek who provided the main computer system voice in the original series as well as Next Generation [and the 4 Next Generation movies], Deep Space 9 and Voyager until her death in 2008) and Marcy Vosburgh (Enterprise computer voice in the 2nd Star Trek Original Series movie The Wrath Of Khan).
Wow this shows real love for this scene. Well done
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
As always, amazing work
Perfectly timed! Well done!
This is the content I subscribed for. Holy shit, great work.
WOW, this is really cool made! Thank u for this moment.
AWESOME WORK !!!
This is very very good!! A different point of view and totally synced with the movie...!! Fantastic...!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome work, sir!
Beautiful work
For Voyager it would be "Computer, initiate the self-destruct sequence, authorization Janeway Pie 110"
Excellent work!!
Only thing that's missing is the computer flashing right before it explodes "Have a nice day!"
Right in the feels. Top work!
"My God, Bones. What _have_ I done?"
"What you had to do. What you always do: turn death into a fighting chance to live."
So, the one-minute countdown lines up pretty well with what was shown on screen, nice! That's something I've wondered about, but I've never timed it.
The audio was edited to fit with the countdown here. In the movie, it was off quite a bit.
Excellent! Loved it!
From 5 to 0, no command in the universe can prevent a ship from fulfilling its destruct order.
Oh so great! Thanks for this vid. 💥
I love this idea so much better, where text is matched up to fit the circular screens, rather than them being just random oscilloscope video and other some such.
It has always been my understanding that the Zero after the "Destruct" isn't there simply for drama... If my memory is serving me correctly: These was an Enterprise officers manual that is official canon. Although that has been out of print for several years, that manual *should* state that the captain had the option to state "One" instead of Zero for the last digit after "Destruct". Inserting a "One" after "Destruct" would instruct the Enterprise computer to specifically blow the Warp Core. The captain had this option specifically to create a zone of deadly radiation around the area where the ship detonated. I honestly couldn't tell you if this action was ever taken at any time in Starfleet history. I never bothered to check: Perhaps this is something that can be found on the Memory Alpha fansite.
It is, and you're right. 1 does set the warp core to go, and 0 is for the secondary option that we saw happen.
Presumably, 1 would have been used in TMP if things did indeed go that bad, and they had to follow that particular order.
My god, Bones. What have I done?
you did what you had to do to give us a fighting chance
Goodbye old friend.
Just fantastic work.
Nicely done!
Almost scarier without seeing what happened.
A brilliant recreation of a very heartbreaking moment in a major sci-fi series
Well synced!
Just tugs at the heart strings...
KAPLA! Very well done. Thank you!
Destruct Sequence Is Activated.
Very nicely done
Beautifully redone🙌🏾🖖🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
This is actually more scary than the destruct sequence in ALIEN, because that went on for ten minutes straight, and had the option of overriding it within five minutes (although that didn’t happen of course). Not to mention all the different alarms blaring constantly throughout the countdown. The Enterprise only gives you ONE minute, and sounds only one alarm-starting at TEN SECONDS. If you’re not on the bridge, you’d never know the ship was about to blow until it’s too late. And the Klingons were those exact people in this scene.
Hey, not bad! And your timing was perfect!
This was awesome 👌 a real work of art.
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
I Love These Videos !!
“From 5 to 0, no command in the universe, can prevent the computer, from fulfilling its destruct order.”
That was AWESOME!!!!!
That was damn good! 👍🏽
Very well done.
Loved it! Pretty awesome!
Absolutely fantastic my friend! If the Enterprise had exploded after, the creme on top of the cake!
The destruct codes Kirk and Scotty used are the same codes they used, as well as the final destruct code in the TOS episode Let That Be Your Last Battlefield
Bro that was exquisitely done. I hope the film grain was hard because it was perfect and amazing.
“My God! What have I done?”
“My god JTVFX…. What have you done?”
Very well done
Kirk: "Take that Kruge ... you ... cantankerous Klingon !"
Kruge fucked around and found out, that you don't deprive a hero of Starfleet of his son and get away with it. Karma's a bitch on wheels.
Excellent!
Very cool.
The two best countdown scenes in the history of mankind, this one (so many years later and still excites me almost like the first day) and the first episode of Exo Squad. Honestly, I expected something more traditional, but I loved the point of view set on the console.
Awesome take. I still wonder how they made it to the transporter with time to spare. That ship is fairly big and the transporter room is a distance away.
The turbolifts are fast devices. They are not like our elevators (or lifts) in our century.
They got there in like ten seconds. 😂
They should have been able to select a countdown length. A 2- or 3-minute countdown would have been more realistic. The transporter was supposed to be on deck 7, I believe.
I had the same feeling of being with HAL 9000 when the discovery was overtaking and destroyed .
It was kind of like holding the hand of a loved one during the last moments of their life knowing that their passing would give you a second chance ! 😢
Love this.
