Warp Speed!

Warp speed! The evolution of the warp drive effect from the Star Trek movies, from the spectacular neon streak photography of The Motion Picture through the rather less awesome animated trails of the later TOS movies to the feeble CG of Nemesis, where they couldn't even be bothered to include the 'warp stretch' effect. And what's with those smoke trails? Has the Enterprise got a cracked manifold? *sigh*

I think the Enterprise-D had the most realistic warp effect of them all.

Darkness' warp effects were awesome!

Disappointed at the lack of Voyager going to warp

0:51 - 0:57 is my favorite

For all we know they could be more accurate though even though they don't have all the colors in them. My personal favorite was the Enterprise - D. I didn't really like the Enterprise - E going to warp, though.

The best one was from TMP 1979 at the end of the movie. I still get chills every time I see it.

Warp drive, Mr. Scott! Gotta love the crazy rainbows from TMP!

The earlier Trek movies did it best.

Wish my car will do that. Anything is POSSIBLE=)!!!

The warp effect itself must be visualy uninteresting. Search for Alcubierre drive! ;)
