Even if the rocket could travel at warp 9, it would still take 8 minutes for Picard to see any change in the sun as the light would still be arriving for that length of time.
First of all I loves the way that marina sirtis called gordi " the blind dude" but secondly until two seconds ago I never realized that they reused the same scene from a previous movie!! I am very mad right now and I'm not completely certain why. But I know why. Make sense? Nope. Maybe that's what happens on star trek TNG movies. They thought they knew what was wrong but they didnt buy that did not make sense but they used it anyway because they are all a**holes!!
"NO PROBLEM!" Oh boy. Data's Caboose chip has been activated. He will automatically shoot the flesh eating gas and try to find Church while the ship goes boom.
It may take far longer time for a planet to freeze, even to the shifting night temperature. Tropical nights is an example. Then there's the possibillity for geothermal heat making up for sunlight, which of course could indicate that the sun is either weaker than normal suns, or further away.
Not to mention we are seeing the destroyed star from the planet...so the rocket gets there.... and then the time it takes for light (which travels at the speed of..... light) to travel back to their view....
I love this movie and this review is so entertaining I can't tell you. I've sat here and laughed my jolly socks off. Brilliant brilliant brilliant - a true entertainer. Many thanks for making me laugh - I wish there were more out there with such a skill. Top notch.
We have to stop a man named Soran from launching his kid's toy rocket, 300 feet into the air and pretending to destroy a star. Come with me Kirk. Together, let's make a difference again! How can you not love this movie folks?
Oh no! The blind dude got the keys, Michael dorn got a spin, that other black dude whatshisthingy....got the keys. Oh dear Marina, maybe if you weren't such a dick about it and lived up to stereotypes of White women who crash anything you drii.....oh I'll shut the hell up now.
But seriously your work with people for at least 7 years.....remember their names!!
3:23 the dialogue that woman just does, she is auto-cool in my eyes. :D " the blind dude " she has no idea of the names, and she doesn't even look like she cared! :D
I just thought of something related. It takes his rocket 11 sec to get the sun, it takes 8 minutes for the light of the sun to reach the earth, and still in the deserts of Earth the temperature reaches 100-150 degrees farenheight or more. When the rocket hits the sun, almost instantly the sky darkens, meaning the light from the star is reaching the planet that fast. For that to be possible the planet must be right next to the star. The surface of the planet would be like fucking Mercury, 800 °F.
It sucks that a series that once proudly used up-to-date (for the time) scientific knowledge in it's shows now throws it out the window, since after all, the dumb masses aren't going to be able to follow it.
Why didn't they have Data pilot the ship, seeing as he would be a hell of a lot faster with the controls than Troi, and as seeing as this is a major emergency Data would have been the perfect choice.
7:21 Im surprised Plinkett didn't show part of the theme song for the british comedy The Goodies(involving buisness men that claim do go anywhere anytime). Then again he was just starting out and hadn't fully established his humour. Plus he might not even know what The Goodies is. But I would fall to peices if he commentated fo that theme song in that point.
Funny part is "transpartent aluminum" aka aluminum oxide (ie Rubies and Sapphires) at thickness described in startrek couldnt even take the stress vacuum let "warp". It would have to be about foot and a half thick in thickness for a two feet wide window, a 10x5 windows would have to be eight feet thick.
Even if there were a warp drive in the rocket, you can see it isn't used because the steam trail is shown all the way to impact. Combine that with the time it takes to arrive and the time it takes for the light to disappear, all the physics are done as if the planet has a very high atmosphere and the sun is just hanging above their heads in it.
I was waiting for him to wonder exactly how Picard came to realise he was in a fantasy & why Guinan appeared straight after that. It makes no seeeeense.
Haha, you are right about that rocket. I guess they don't expect people to be educated very well anymore, either that or the writers don't know basic science.
The thing that got me was that even if the sun were destroyed, it's pieces would still have their normal gravitational pull so it wouldn't affect the Nexus at all.
Also, one of Picard's kids is the kid that Kramer promises Paul O'Neil will hit 2 home runs for.
My biggest problem with this movie is that stopping nuclear reaction inside a star doesn't get rid of the star. It just gets rid of the radiation it produces. Except the radiation wasn't the problem. The problem was its gravitational pull, which would have been exactly the same, so the ribbon wouldn't have been affected at all. I mean, the time it takes the rocket to reach the sun and for them to see the sun go out are both just sort of effect things for pacing, but this is a crucial plot point.
@Bubo25 Humphry Davy, who invented the metal, called it Aluminum. But, an anonymous contributor to a British journal thought that Aluminium sounded more 'classical.' It caught on with the readers/editors.
So, the Commonwealth adopted it because it sounded... fancier... I guess. :)
These reviews make me feel so stupid. Why couldn't I catch these inconsistincies and stuipidities and problems? I'm a Star Trek fan, why couldn't I? What's wrong with me?
The whole leaving the Nexus deal just to go back before they entered it was pretty stupid. Whoopi did tell Picard he could go to anytime so logically it would have been practical to go back to the moment when they rescued Soran from the observatory but then again he could haved gone back to the moment when the Enterprise-B first got the distress call from the El-Aurian ships, stopped the E-B from rescuing them and Kirk would have lived on. Of course there would be no Whoopi to run the bar....
Picard wouldn't permit himself to go very far back in time and alter the timeline even in emergency situations. Even in First Contact he's very cautious about it. I imagine to him that going back just a little to stop Soran firing the rocket wouldn't have posed the same risk. I could be wrong.
Also, neither Kirk or Picard would stop the El-Aurians from being rescued. That would be out of the question entirely. They'd barely entertain even the thought.
Great observation, but it matters not. The Enterprise B was an Excelsior-class starship. The only difference between the two was the serial number painted on the bottom. If you couldn't see that, then it really doesn't matter. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference, anyway.
Time is irrelative in the nexus, transparent aluminum was never meant to be stressed in conditions with natural gravity (though i wonder why all that remains of destroyed ships is large clusters of windows)..but then again, why didnt the planet killer just shoot down the slow ass moving tasty Constellation before it went boom? :3
The fact that Picard didn't go back in time further is unforgivable. I don't understand how they spend millions of dollars to make these movies and yet there is not one person involved with any common sense to stop and say, "Wait a second...isn't this stupid?" He could have even went back and saved his nephew from dying in the fire, which by the way, the kid looked nothing like he did in that episode of TNG when Picard went home.
HOW THE F#%$ DID A 20 YEAR OLD BIRD OF PREY DESTROY A FEDERATION BATTLESHIP, ITS LIKE F@#$ING 100 TIMES BIGGER AND STRONGER, I PLAY STAR TREK ONLINE AND IT TAKES ME LIKE 5 SECONDES TO DESTROY A BIRD OF PREY ........ WTF ??????????
I think that a Galaxy class star ship would have made mincemeat out of a Bird of Prey. Although you're right and this film has many flaws I enjoyd it (i don't know why, i just did) and I didn't care. But still it's one fucked up movie.
Now I'm assuming the reason the Enterprise can fire through its own shields is that its weapons frequency would have to match its shield frequency. So when the Klingons adapted their weapon frequency to match the Enterprise's shield frequency they would have also had to change their shield frequency in order to fire through their own shields. So when the Enterprise returned fire its weapons should also have been able to go straight through the Klingon's shields as if they weren't there.
its quite funny but you're very wrong about the effect of the sun being destroyed. If the sun went away it would take quite a while for it to cool down. However more to the point even if the rocket was warp capable and hit the sun in 8 seconds it would still take MINUTES for them to see the sun go out as the light from that star still takes a while reach the planet ;)
You are totally right about the mistake in this movie. It would have taken several minutes before Picard and everyone else on that planet see the sun explode because it would have taken several minutes for the explosion's light to reach them
@SpaceInvader42359 But you wouldn't immediately freeze to death. It would get just as cold as it gets at night first. It would take quite a number of hours to get really cold.
The sonorous voice, the dry commentary, the cut-offs in his diatribe as if even he was getting tired of talking... Effing love it, Dude! And dishing on the dead wife? Someone check this guys freezer! lol
Actually, if the sun 'turned off', at least on Earth, we'd be able to survive for at least a week with all the heat coming from the atmosphere and the oceans.
Mind you Picard was not on earth, but even so, he'd be able to last a little longer than a trillionth of a second. :p
the rocket is the biggest pile of shit there is. We saw the smoke trail pretty much until the final moment when it hit the sun, so is the sun IN THE FUCKING ATMOSPHERE?!?!!?!!
well all i have to say is that they expect us to believe that the world trade center fell at free fall speed from a fire that wasn't hot enough to melt steel so yes they do expect you to believe it.
@luizfcavalcanti One of my favorite "Data-moments" is when Data takes over as First Officer under Captain Jellico for a short period. Data really aces the job; Jellico relieves Riker of duty!
The sun mistake. Even if the rocket were capable of reaching the sun within seconds with some sort of faster than light drive and explode on the sun. Still the light traveling from the sun back to the planet only travels at the speed of light. It should take minutes for them to see the reaction. It wouldn't get cold real fast either no more than when the sun goes down at night. There is ambient heat locked in the atmosphere it would take days to weeks.
01:16 If this happened, presuming the sun was eight light minutes away, you wouldn't see the impact until eight minutes after it had happened. Soran's rocket must have inluded a make-light-go-magicly-faster device, so it's not surprising it was sophisticated enough to reach the sun so quickly in the first place...
I've always thinking about the rocket acceleration. The whole thing with Soran and his was kinda bended to help the plot and it was barely believable...
Im just glad that you posted a comment with my thoughts exactly..I mean im no expert but as far as my logic goes the earth doesnt freeze up in seconds at all. I mean, it will freeze up..but in, like, days, right? Plenty of time to get killed by other exploding-sun effects, at least..
Wondering the same thing here! But I have to say that I dont think theres anything wrong with the argument that says we wont freeze ( in seconds ) because we dont freeze during night either. Could someone explain why thats wrong? I mean, with our backs to the sun, we're not receiving any light or heat from it..
@S1nwar The guy likes to slip blatant falsehoods in there for comic effect. It's surprising how many people don't figure this out. It's even more shocking this guy isn't in prison already for killing his ex wives and all those hookers, though. Shouldn't someone be calling the cops?
... Did you actually write that...? Are my eyes deceiving me? Am I going insane? My brain is collapsing inside itself.
At night time, the sun doesn't 'turn off', you fairy. The Earth has its back to the sun, if you will. So it becomes dark. But the sun is still providing heat to our solar system.
If the sun was to turn off this very second, you, me and everything would freeze instantly and shrivel up and die. It's such a basic fact that I can't believe I have to write this sh*t.
Could you explain me why we would freeze so quickly? Just curious because I don't know much about the subject...
I mean, wouldn't the Earth, with its hot core and all, and the atmosphere, have nothing to give away their heat, cause they're surrounded by vacuum? But I have no idea how that really works...
As for the movie, well, the Nexus takes them away (why couldn't Sauron just FLY into the nexus with a ship??) and seconds after that, the planet explodes. Would the planet REALLY..
There wasn't time for Scotty to make a tank out of Transparent Aluminum. The guy said it would take years just to figure out the matrix. Scotty used the formula to bargain for a 20th Century equivalent. But you are right about the face the windows certainly weren't glass.
I agree, I seem to recall him saying "commence rapid fire with all weapons on full," or something like that in an episode. In Generations, "Fire once, run away and fire again once we out-technobabble them." Utter Shite.
A better way might've been for them to remodulate the shields, but the duras bitches keep matching it through Geordi's visor, at least they wouldn't have looked like complete retards.
There seems to be an issue with your microfone, so everytime you say like “shit” there‘s a weird beep, dunno what causes it, it is on my pc as well as the notebook.
@bobbyeph No, I'm pretty sure the last refuge of the unintelligent is making up stupid rules that they then assume are unquestionable universal truths, and then use those rules as a basis to jump to simplistic conclusions about something. To be honest, it's kind of stupid to conclude that someone is a moron not because they say stupid things, but simply because they swear.
@bobbyeph If you're so dumb that you don't understand his humor, that's fine. But he makes valid and professional points and critic on the movie. I doubt you couldn't create anything half as good. It saddens me you can't see his reviews for what they are and that you don't understand the brilliant move in doing the voice and the whole act of Plinkett. Someday, when you've matured and got yourself a brain, hopefully you'll be able to appreciate him then
scotty didn't use transparent aluminum to house the whales he traded the formula for transparent aluminum for the current day glass that was already in stock in the warehouse....
I'd be well annoyed if I was an Ensign and Riker was in Command. I mean you've done all your starfleet command, engineering, running of a starship training, and then the time comes to show off your piloting abilities you've learned for three years at Starfleet. The pilots been injured, ship in chaos, no one else can possibly do the job and then Riker gives the order... Counsellor Troi take the helm...
p.s
I'd like to see Riker's explanation for that order in his report to Starfleet.
This was the first Star Trek movie I ever saw in theaters. I was 8 years old and the part I remember the most was when the saucer section crashes onto the planet. Damn, 1994 feels like such a long time ago now.
@jtkirkfan2002 how many times have we heard... ejection systems are offline! why even try? they should be like more backs up for this considering how many times it failed them, and is the most important part of star ship safety, the only thing that can instantly blow up the ship in a malfunction..
Even if the rocket could travel at warp 9, it would still take 8 minutes for Picard to see any change in the sun as the light would still be arriving for that length of time.

@SpaceInvader42359 But you wouldn't immediately freeze to death. It would get just as cold as it gets at night first. It would take quite a number of hours to get really cold.

@SpaceInvader42359 And the difference in heat would take even longer since heat takes even longer to trave lt the planet, right?

Actually, if the sun 'turned off', at least on Earth, we'd be able to survive for at least a week with all the heat coming from the atmosphere and the oceans.
Mind you Picard was not on earth, but even so, he'd be able to last a little longer than a trillionth of a second. :p

The sun mistake. Even if the rocket were capable of reaching the sun within seconds with some sort of faster than light drive and explode on the sun. Still the light traveling from the sun back to the planet only travels at the speed of light. It should take minutes for them to see the reaction. It wouldn't get cold real fast either no more than when the sun goes down at night. There is ambient heat locked in the atmosphere it would take days to weeks.

01:16 If this happened, presuming the sun was eight light minutes away, you wouldn't see the impact until eight minutes after it had happened. Soran's rocket must have inluded a make-light-go-magicly-faster device, so it's not surprising it was sophisticated enough to reach the sun so quickly in the first place...

Im just glad that you posted a comment with my thoughts exactly..I mean im no expert but as far as my logic goes the earth doesnt freeze up in seconds at all. I mean, it will freeze up..but in, like, days, right? Plenty of time to get killed by other exploding-sun effects, at least..

@twooffour
Wondering the same thing here! But I have to say that I dont think theres anything wrong with the argument that says we wont freeze ( in seconds ) because we dont freeze during night either. Could someone explain why thats wrong? I mean, with our backs to the sun, we're not receiving any light or heat from it..

... Did you actually write that...? Are my eyes deceiving me? Am I going insane? My brain is collapsing inside itself.
At night time, the sun doesn't 'turn off', you fairy. The Earth has its back to the sun, if you will. So it becomes dark. But the sun is still providing heat to our solar system.
If the sun was to turn off this very second, you, me and everything would freeze instantly and shrivel up and die. It's such a basic fact that I can't believe I have to write this sh*t.

@terratrema
Could you explain me why we would freeze so quickly? Just curious because I don't know much about the subject...
I mean, wouldn't the Earth, with its hot core and all, and the atmosphere, have nothing to give away their heat, cause they're surrounded by vacuum? But I have no idea how that really works...
As for the movie, well, the Nexus takes them away (why couldn't Sauron just FLY into the nexus with a ship??) and seconds after that, the planet explodes. Would the planet REALLY..

There wasn't time for Scotty to make a tank out of Transparent Aluminum. The guy said it would take years just to figure out the matrix. Scotty used the formula to bargain for a 20th Century equivalent. But you are right about the face the windows certainly weren't glass.

I agree, I seem to recall him saying "commence rapid fire with all weapons on full," or something like that in an episode. In Generations, "Fire once, run away and fire again once we out-technobabble them." Utter Shite.
A better way might've been for them to remodulate the shields, but the duras bitches keep matching it through Geordi's visor, at least they wouldn't have looked like complete retards.

@bobbyeph No, I'm pretty sure the last refuge of the unintelligent is making up stupid rules that they then assume are unquestionable universal truths, and then use those rules as a basis to jump to simplistic conclusions about something. To be honest, it's kind of stupid to conclude that someone is a moron not because they say stupid things, but simply because they swear.
TK2692 1 year ago 3
@bobbyeph If you're so dumb that you don't understand his humor, that's fine. But he makes valid and professional points and critic on the movie. I doubt you couldn't create anything half as good. It saddens me you can't see his reviews for what they are and that you don't understand the brilliant move in doing the voice and the whole act of Plinkett. Someday, when you've matured and got yourself a brain, hopefully you'll be able to appreciate him then

I'd be well annoyed if I was an Ensign and Riker was in Command. I mean you've done all your starfleet command, engineering, running of a starship training, and then the time comes to show off your piloting abilities you've learned for three years at Starfleet. The pilots been injured, ship in chaos, no one else can possibly do the job and then Riker gives the order... Counsellor Troi take the helm...
p.s
I'd like to see Riker's explanation for that order in his report to Starfleet.
