Wrath of Kahn, the best of them all: No disco light show, no magic marker streaks, no smoke trail (what was up with THAT, it just look normal and "natural".
1:04 is pretty awesome. I don't see why there would be a photon boom, though I guess people would be expecting to see something happen other than it disappearing after stretching.
This smoke from warp drive is really a smoke. Warp core burns fuel, even if it is an antimatter, there is still reaction in engine between mater and antimater that produces not only energy, but also slight amounts of waste particles exhausted with warp plasma when ship is moving at warp.
@wysocki86 No. The warp nacelles aren't exhaust pipes. The warp core brings together antimatter and matter, which annihilate each other and release a tremendous amount of energy. no matter is left behind. as for the warp plasma, it is not released unless the nacelle is hit or is broken off. Also, the ship can release drive plasma when it is ordered to do so, as in star trek generations.
Is there a Warpcore breach in progress when the Enterprise-E goes to warp for the last two times? I mean what's all that smoke comming from the Warp engines LOL.
My favourite is the 4th one, from "Star Trek II". The fantastic neon-streak Effect from the first Movie is still there, but this strange Tunnel is gone, replaced with an Effect that wouldnt be out of Place in "Star Wars"
0:17 is my Desktop-Background at my workplace. :D
Merkabah space ship moves within an all-embracing energy field which is composed of multiple magnetic, electromagnetic, and magneto-hydrodynamic domains unified into a “field stasis” using multiple polar denominations. The vehicle operating within the field the ability to go faster than the speed of our common light. With instant acceleration with power to travel at 2.9 times (or more) the speed of light as defined by man. The vehicle can go through these portals time tunnels or “wormholes :)o*o
0:43 was my fave... from Star Trek V - when Checkov says "Warp speed NOW"... the Enterprise narrowly missed that torpedo - I saw that in the theater way back when :-D
heh, I am innocently amused by comments here... but then I realize that the fanboyism and religiosity of this fun stuff sadly extends to people's real lives... If I were a betting man I would guess 90% of the pedantic folks arguing so passionately about pure Hollywood Magic and well... are like the same folks that, like folks that know 30 years of player stats of their favored sports, real life issues are relegated to the junk heap... only applied once they are told what 'correct thinking' is

@Laslavadelaghetto IF YOU ARE A TRUE STAR TREK FAN You know that they ALWAYS stay away from warping into a solar system to begin with. In Deep Space 9, they even went as far as refusing to warp within a solar system because of the dangers of dropping out of warp inside an atmosphere. In Voyager. And most obvious. A star ship doesn't warp till AFTER the spark. It speeds up first. If a star ship speeds up in the atmosphere it would heat up the ship, naturally, causing damage to the hull.
@negativecommentsful@Laslavadelaghetto IF YOU'RE A TRUE STAR TREK FAN You know they ALWAYS stay away from warping into a solar system to begin with.

A star ship doesn't warp till AFTER the spark. It speeds up first. If a star ship speeds up in the atmosphere it would heat up the ship, naturally, causing damage to the hull.
the "spark" at the end of the transition to warp in the more modern films and shows was supposed to represent the point where all the like emitted and reflected from the object came from the same source as it passes the speed of light. but the old school effects are still cool as fuck. and very few things a cooler than fuckin. or perhaps hotter would be more apt.
I always loved that flash that happened whenever the Enterprise would engage it's warp drive & disappear into the horizon. They should've never taken that out cuz it not only looked great but it also really added alot to the coolness factor of the whole thing.
i liked the enterprise d when it went to warp with the nacelles lighting up before it shot to warp thats the best one for me with voyager the way the necells turn upwards before it shot to warp thoes to me are the best by far and very realistic
eh! Whatever, I liked it... I don't spend a lot of time on it. Star Wars (original trillogy) will always be way better anyway. What can you do? Coke vs Pepsi.... Matter of opinion.
To be honest IF warp speed were possible all these effects would not exist. In the principal of warp the object does not move but space is "bent" or "folded" around the object. Therefore the object never "moves" and the crew would have no sensation of movement or displacement. They would cease to exist in one spot and then exist in another spot. The "speed" setting of warp is also a misnomer, when space is folder it is folded. The effect and speed settings are for the viewer.
@boss5468 It was horrible. So many things done wrong. Kelvin having 800 people? Full impule! ... and warp nacells light up instead of impuls. Warp effect. Phasers? Romulan "disruptors". The list goes on and on. Not to mention the storyline.
@lyniseuk If it was done right yes I'd like it as well. But they messes up SOOO many things its painfull to watch it. Where the F did Kelvin get 800+ crew? Enterprise D had around 1000 people and its WAAAAAY bigger. Full impulse! And warp necells light up.... 30 shuttles onboard Kelvin? Ya sure. To much stuff wrong.
@Shockwaver08 I understand where your coming from, but as Red Letter media said " they were making this new movie for the dim wit public not die hard Star trek fans like me and you" The old trek material will always be there, so we just have to accept it. I didn't think the new movie was that bad and I think Star trek needed a kick up the backside, you only have to look at the dimishing box office returns for the last 4 movies which this movie out grossed even if you put them all together.
@lyniseuk Yes I know :( Hopefully next movie (if they make it) will be closer to cannon. I just dont like people who watched this one movie and now call themself Trekkies. Redoing TOS with this cast would be nice. Just please do some homework before making anything :S
@Shockwaver08 It was stated in interviews that the Kevlin and the Enterprise in the new movie were made more massive than the original ships in TOS. This was done to give the movie a sense of greater scale. I personally thought it was unnecessary. Watch the Bluray extras. The Enterprise in the new movie is bigger than the Galaxy-class Enterpise in TNG measured end to end.
@QHyperHuman :S Epic fail on their part :S Weird how to seemd the original size when next to the rest of the ships. Anyway. If they plan to continue to make movies on this timeline they better fix things like that.
@Shockwaver08 They don't plan on fixing it. Its a permanent change. Also they had to make the ships bigger to fit a full size beer brewery inside them. :D
@Shockwaver08 Enterprise D had huge apartments for the crew to live in. Think about that wasted space. For all you know Kelvin's crew (outside of officeres) sleep in bunks that are 3 high.
@IDF1987 Yes, sleeping in bunks is defenatly how starfleet lived.... Please watch any movie and tell me if you see bunks anywhere? Other then starfleet academy maybe. Any even if you DO manage to put 800 ppl in that small junkpile what about all the rest? Engineering looked wrong and way to big, shuttles comeing from the warp neicell, to many shuttles (30+??), the corridors looked cramped like its the rush hour of subway, warp neicells glow when they go to full impulse... must I say more?
@Shockwaver08 We only see enlisted berthing in that movie. The other TOS era Star Trek films only show Kirk and Spock's quarters. They also show the Enterprise's enlisted quarters later in the film when the Enterprise is leaving Klingon space. Guess what? A room of bunks similar to what you'd find as enlisted quarters on a modern submarine or aircraft carrier.
I loved out the nacelles in the Constitution-class would glow blue just as the ship engages its warp drive. I always liked how the TMP warp drive effect was handled, but also liked the 'streak' effect from Star Trek IV. Although they got rid of the 'starburst' effect by Star Trek III, and it didn't come back until TNG.
anyone else getting a little annoyed with how people want more "realistic" warping. 3 words i think are very appropriate at this point; this is FICTION! ist not ment to be realistic, if it was the there would be no sounds of any kind during the space scenes. now be honest would shows that were mainly about space battles be just as interesting without noise? i.e Battlestar or star wars?
@a552bcx This 'moron' has an MSc organic chemistry degree.....and I hardly am going to 'forget' who my father is. Now in a language you might understand...fuck right off......!!! :+)
@ah4fecksake if you have an MS in org chem, then answer this. if you visit an alien planet with life on it, can you set foot on the planet without a bio-suit to protect you even if the atmosphere, temp. and gravity is EXACTLY like earth? don't just answer "yes" or "no" explain with reasoning
@a552bcx No,because as I'm sure you know different microorganisms have different biological effects.Example,its is the way in which hydrogen an oxygen are bonded which makes them drinking water to species on this planet which took billions of years to evolve but it might be possible that a water molecule will have an negative effect on life elsewhere. It is the ability of our mitochondria to break these bonds and use those atoms and energy that make them usefull to us.Hope that answers your Qs
@ah4fecksake The way I always saw it is that flash being the ship breaking the "warp barrier", kinda like how fighter jet gets a cloudburst around it when it breaks the sound barrier.
2. Generations - who doesn't dig the nacelle flashes?
3. First Contact - brilliant charging up sound effect
V is hands-down the worst one, looks like they put it in unfinished. They were strangers to the word "perspective".
The only thing I got a beef with in Nemesis is that weak sound effect to match up with the vanishing flash, its alright otherwise but that one sound ruins it.
I & II were cool too, but its not what i grew up with.
I love Warp speed effects. I loved the multi-coloured Enterprise-A effect when I was a little kid; and zoom sound as it blasted past and the light had to catch up. AWESOME!
I have always loved how the "Wrath of Khan" Enterprise seems to tug on the star field around it before we, the viewers, get blasted along with it right into the mysterious empty space between the stars.
Best one is the Motion Picture - very trippy in the cinema back in ,79!. Gets worse as time goes on, guess they spent less and less money on it. The original effect is by optical slit-scan, so is done on film, not CGI.
I have to say, I think the best warp effect was in Wrath of Khan - its so viceral, you can almost feel the power (with a surround system you certainly can!)
But the Enterprise warp effect from STIII seems more real i.e. the ship vanishes and its just a trail of lights left.
@WROrchestra Your right about the Wrath of Khan, that scene is brilliant where you hear the warp speed in three separate shots as it gets away from the Genesis device explodig onboard the USS Reliant.
Although I also like the warp effects in Star Trek 1. The scene where the Eneterprise is caught in a wormhole reminds me of an old style computer game-its fun.
@Gerry76alpha I actually prefer the 1st warp sequence (when they head for Regula 1). The way the light is all blues and whites, the sound of the drive just sounds more powerful and the way the ship streaks ahead before all the stars catch up. It just feels like incredible power is being harnessed and the ship is gone!
@Outrider2x Ironically as the tech gets better it gets more subtle, the best looking ones to be are the firstly the one with the Enterprise and Excelsior, then the ones from Generations and FC. I can't believe they didn't do one for Insurrection though...
@Outrider2x - less spectacular, maybe, but more realistic, and I'm all for realism. Departure from normal space would create a flash of blue-white Cherenkov (sp.?) radiation, not streaks of light that look pretty but which don't reflect what the ship is actually doing.
@Outrider2x Since our best guess right now, as unadvanced weirdos, is that Alcubierre's math is 'most correct' in regard to obtaining warp drive - while the original movies are indeed more 'spectacular', the TNG effects before Nemesis were most 'on point', considering that an 'actual warp drive' would pull in empty space in front of the vehicle and compress it from behind, leaving the actual vehicle stationary relative to the space immediately surrounding it. IOW - Rainbows are for unicorns :D
In my opinion, the last few are the most realistic, lets face it. Why would an engine spew out rainbow colored light when accelerating? If warp speed were possible, it would be a rapid acceleration. PERIOD.
Actually there would be an enormous amount of spectrum shift because of time dilation effects. blue and red shift is what you get when real objects move at extremely high (near light) speeds, so of course you would expect a "photon boom" exactly like you get a "sonic boom" with super-sonic aircraft. i.e. a wide range of shifted waves all at once. i.e, rainbows.
@animalcross77. AGREED, I love the Nemesis effect best. However, I do understand payndz post about no stretching effect. As when the warp bubble were created, it would also create the illusion to our eyes as you're bending–or warping–space.
By far the best warp effects...only with this effect, did you truly get the awesome feeling, that space is being warped by the drive, and the enterprise is entering this conduit....and you get to go with them...just for a few seconds....
Not just...oh look they are blurring away colorfully and fast....
"It would be rapid acceleration. PERIOD."?!?!! I doubt you understand any of the theoretical physics, real or hypothesized behind this.
@animalcross77 Not necessarily. Activating a highly energetic engine like that would most likely create a spike in visible light, it would be red shifted very quickly if the starship is approaching you, or blue shifted as it speeds away from you. And at such high velocities is would appear to be a streak, similar to how a glow stick in the dark looks like a string when you move it fast, or a fan blade becomes blurry and streaky as it speeds up. Your brain can't process signals that quickly.
@animalcross77 Correction: blue shifting is for objects approaching, red shifting is for objects leaving. Like the electromagnetic doppler effect. In that sense, ST got it backwards.
I believe you miss the idea. The idea of warp speed was a Roddenberry creation to create a ship's acceleration faster then the speed of light. Supposedly Einstein says one cannot do it. In the Roddenberry universe, the way to accelerate faster than light is to break free of the Einstein restriction by creating a 'sub space' via warping out of it. The first movie's model is more detailed so when it warps, you get that rainbow effect just because the ship has diff colored lights
@animalcross77 - Indeed. Or why would the stars appear to move around the ship at the speeds postulated for STAR TREK? The motions of the stars in the view field are still many, many times too fast anyway once they're at warp speeds, even assuming you could see the stars by some virtual velocity trick. (A program like Starry Night Enthusiast will demonstrate what I mean graphically.)
@animalcross77 The TMP were hands-down best-looking warp effects and since it's a totally made-up technology, there's no such thing as a more realistic warp effect, 'PERIOD'.
I like the Phoenix at 1:10-1:13 the best. The nacelles lighting up with that BLUE flash, (never liked the rainbow effects of the earlier movies, prefer solid colors, like BLUE) good stretching effect, disappear, and then POP FLASH. Perfect, in my humble opinion.
The Sovereign class is a thing of beauty. And there's just something about these "classic" ST style warp effects that I am extremely partial to. Ships just *popping* off into warp in the 2009 movie felt empty.
No kidding! When I was in high school we had this event where we seniors played against the seniors from one of the other high schools close around where I live, and I was in this one called "tag-a-long" where one person pulls a rope a runs with the other person holding on and sitting on a scooter. My friend who did was my buddy's wife who even wrote on shirt: WARP SPEED! Great video man!
THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS. I COULD WATCH IT ALL DAY!
AS MUCH AS I LOVE THE OLD LIGHT STREEKS TRAILING BEHIND, I ALSO LOVE THE RECENT EFFECT FROM THE ENTERPRISE-E OF LEAVING A FAINT TRAIL OF "SMOKE" OR EXHAUST BEHIND AS IT DISAPPEARS.
The warp-in effects for the Motion Picture were fun to look at originally, but NOW I noticed where they improved the effects over time. The bright flash of light at the beginning...there was no need for that. It made more sense to have the flash afterward (as seen in later movies and TV shows). Also, if you pause at 0:06 you'll see a black outline of the Enterprise from TMP. I'm glad they got rid of that!
The warp-effects for ST 3 and 4 were amazing. ST 5 was a mere blurring effect

They also show the Enterprise's enlisted quarters later in the film when the Enterprise is leaving Klingon space. Guess what? A room of bunks similar to what you'd find as enlisted quarters on a modern submarine or aircraft carrier.

I loved out the nacelles in the Constitution-class would glow blue just as the ship engages its warp drive. I always liked how the TMP warp drive effect was handled, but also liked the 'streak' effect from Star Trek IV. Although they got rid of the 'starburst' effect by Star Trek III, and it didn't come back until TNG.

anyone else getting a little annoyed with how people want more "realistic" warping. 3 words i think are very appropriate at this point; this is FICTION! ist not ment to be realistic, if it was the there would be no sounds of any kind during the space scenes. now be honest would shows that were mainly about space battles be just as interesting without noise? i.e Battlestar or star wars?

@a552bcx No,because as I'm sure you know different microorganisms have different biological effects.Example,its is the way in which hydrogen an oxygen are bonded which makes them drinking water to species on this planet which took billions of years to evolve but it might be possible that a water molecule will have an negative effect on life elsewhere. It is the ability of our mitochondria to break these bonds and use those atoms and energy that make them usefull to us.Hope that answers your Qs

My top 3:
1. III-IV (effects almost alike) - neon streaks!
2. Generations - who doesn't dig the nacelle flashes?
3. First Contact - brilliant charging up sound effect
V is hands-down the worst one, looks like they put it in unfinished. They were strangers to the word "perspective".
The only thing I got a beef with in Nemesis is that weak sound effect to match up with the vanishing flash, its alright otherwise but that one sound ruins it.
I & II were cool too, but its not what i grew up with.

Oh those early constitution classes, they must have been real buggy after being used to running around on all those akiraprise ships
strangely though they needed half the crew but could due warp seven no problem or maybe pike was suffering from PTSD and almost blew up the ship!

Best one is the Motion Picture - very trippy in the cinema back in ,79!. Gets worse as time goes on, guess they spent less and less money on it. The original effect is by optical slit-scan, so is done on film, not CGI.

I have to say, I think the best warp effect was in Wrath of Khan - its so viceral, you can almost feel the power (with a surround system you certainly can!)
But the Enterprise warp effect from STIII seems more real i.e. the ship vanishes and its just a trail of lights left.
WROrchestra 1 year ago
@WROrchestra Your right about the Wrath of Khan, that scene is brilliant where you hear the warp speed in three separate shots as it gets away from the Genesis device explodig onboard the USS Reliant.
Although I also like the warp effects in Star Trek 1. The scene where the Eneterprise is caught in a wormhole reminds me of an old style computer game-its fun.
Gerry76alpha 1 year ago
@Gerry76alpha I actually prefer the 1st warp sequence (when they head for Regula 1). The way the light is all blues and whites, the sound of the drive just sounds more powerful and the way the ship streaks ahead before all the stars catch up. It just feels like incredible power is being harnessed and the ship is gone!

These get way less spectacular as time goes on. The laser light effect used in the original movies is truly amazing.
Outrider2x 1 year ago 26
@Outrider2x Ironically as the tech gets better it gets more subtle, the best looking ones to be are the firstly the one with the Enterprise and Excelsior, then the ones from Generations and FC. I can't believe they didn't do one for Insurrection though...

@Outrider2x - less spectacular, maybe, but more realistic, and I'm all for realism. Departure from normal space would create a flash of blue-white Cherenkov (sp.?) radiation, not streaks of light that look pretty but which don't reflect what the ship is actually doing.

@Outrider2x but FAR less realistic.
GeorgeMillerAtkinson 8 months ago
@Outrider2x Since our best guess right now, as unadvanced weirdos, is that Alcubierre's math is 'most correct' in regard to obtaining warp drive - while the original movies are indeed more 'spectacular', the TNG effects before Nemesis were most 'on point', considering that an 'actual warp drive' would pull in empty space in front of the vehicle and compress it from behind, leaving the actual vehicle stationary relative to the space immediately surrounding it. IOW - Rainbows are for unicorns :D

In my opinion, the last few are the most realistic, lets face it. Why would an engine spew out rainbow colored light when accelerating? If warp speed were possible, it would be a rapid acceleration. PERIOD.

PatabookG5 1 year ago
@animalcross77
Ahem.
Actually there would be an enormous amount of spectrum shift because of time dilation effects. blue and red shift is what you get when real objects move at extremely high (near light) speeds, so of course you would expect a "photon boom" exactly like you get a "sonic boom" with super-sonic aircraft. i.e. a wide range of shifted waves all at once. i.e, rainbows.
sibeliandrift 1 year ago
@animalcross77. AGREED, I love the Nemesis effect best. However, I do understand payndz post about no stretching effect. As when the warp bubble were created, it would also create the illusion to our eyes as you're bending–or warping–space.

Not just...oh look they are blurring away colorfully and fast....
"It would be rapid acceleration. PERIOD."?!?!! I doubt you understand any of the theoretical physics, real or hypothesized behind this.
datacipher 9 months ago
@animalcross77 Not necessarily. Activating a highly energetic engine like that would most likely create a spike in visible light, it would be red shifted very quickly if the starship is approaching you, or blue shifted as it speeds away from you. And at such high velocities is would appear to be a streak, similar to how a glow stick in the dark looks like a string when you move it fast, or a fan blade becomes blurry and streaky as it speeds up. Your brain can't process signals that quickly.
ajcusn 9 months ago
@animalcross77 Correction: blue shifting is for objects approaching, red shifting is for objects leaving. Like the electromagnetic doppler effect. In that sense, ST got it backwards.

frozenray0079 9 months ago
@animalcross77
I believe you miss the idea. The idea of warp speed was a Roddenberry creation to create a ship's acceleration faster then the speed of light. Supposedly Einstein says one cannot do it. In the Roddenberry universe, the way to accelerate faster than light is to break free of the Einstein restriction by creating a 'sub space' via warping out of it. The first movie's model is more detailed so when it warps, you get that rainbow effect just because the ship has diff colored lights
Johnwrest 9 months ago
@animalcross77 - Indeed. Or why would the stars appear to move around the ship at the speeds postulated for STAR TREK? The motions of the stars in the view field are still many, many times too fast anyway once they're at warp speeds, even assuming you could see the stars by some virtual velocity trick. (A program like Starry Night Enthusiast will demonstrate what I mean graphically.)

I think if we ever see a ship "Warp", it shouldn't be elongating but compressing instead.

The warp-in effects for the Motion Picture were fun to look at originally, but NOW I noticed where they improved the effects over time. The bright flash of light at the beginning...there was no need for that. It made more sense to have the flash afterward (as seen in later movies and TV shows). Also, if you pause at 0:06 you'll see a black outline of the Enterprise from TMP. I'm glad they got rid of that!
The warp-effects for ST 3 and 4 were amazing. ST 5 was a mere blurring effect
