This movie was all too much for me when I first watched it at 9 years old. This scene is a good example. This wormhole suddenly opens up, everything goes really delayed and weird, and they can't get out of it until they destroy that asteroid in the centre? It's seemingly completely unrelated to the plot and doesn't really make any sense.
Thinking about it now, they just wanted to show off the special effects, right?
more like they wanted to show that the Enterprise still needed work, and it was a lead-in for spock coming aboard and helping getting her ready, kinda immortalizing that 'it all comes together with the original bridge crew'. which comes into play that, all humans need is a logical counterpoint, and that all vger needed was human perspective. atleast thats what i think. i love this movie personally.
The funny thing is, after the movie came out I put a kit together of these and the other effects and sold them in the classified section of a couple of Sci-Fi periodicals, then in the 90's I sold them again as a 'retro' kit, but you know, they were never that popular quite frankly.
Points of fact: Both the radial spectral warp burst, and the worm hole effect on the bridge (the smears) are optical effects created with my holographic gratings for Paramount.
This was one of the coolest scenes of scifi movies of the 70's.These movies were SOLID! This scene makes me laugh a bit but it is awesome.There will likely never be movies like this again as those horrible glossy computer effects CG have ruined everything. That is what makes movies like this and Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica( original) not the horrible remake,) and Alien ,Close encounters of... etc etc so amazing and real, because they were made without the computer generated effects!
Too right; the "director's edition" was poorly chopped up and many replacement sound effects are worse, even if some of the originals (e.g. "RED ALERT!!" "INTRUDER ALERT!") were overused.
Are the original Dolby stereo mix rules 10 out of 10 over the directors edition, the alarm sounds like strangled cat on the directors edition, I rarely watch I have the original on laserdisc transferred to DVD-RW and it sounds awesome on the JBL THX sound system.
Thanks for the upload. Wish it were a little better on video quality...but the audio is fine. Just a thought, possibly make the brightness higher on the television set. Thanks again for your efforts...you are the only tuber to have this scene!! :)

The spectral warp burst and the wormhole 'smear' are mine, I sold those to Paramount, they are holographic gratings.

Did you take it from the Special Longer Version (TV-Version) from 1983?

Well, I like most of the changes in the D.E.
Btw the german version still has the original alert announcements (combined with the new alert sfx)
