That was the best Enterprise ever. It kicked untold amounts of ass and took NO names. Just sayin.

best looking ship PERIOD.

I'm just wondering: wouldn't it take a shorter amount of time to go into the dock through the back? Instead of going all the way around? Just wondering.

This is the best moment in any Trek film . . . when the beautiful Lady, the Enterprise, was revealed to the audience. It slowly builds up to that moment, when the entire ship is shown and you just get to bask in it. Regardless of what the Nostalgia Critic thinks, this is one of the halmarks of Star Trek The Motion Picture. This scene will always be the best in the film.

The SFX have held up well, too. I saw it on a HUGE screen a few days ago, and you just can't tell it's a model.

This Lady of the Stars deserves every frame of this whole sequence.

Magnificent scene Douglas Trumbull Forever.

@Timvelopement This film was very cerebral (like 2001 a space Odyssey). That's why the 2nd film was as successful as it was. The Wrath of Khan was almost non stop action.

@LeeMastr I never said it wasn't. Regardless it was pretty pointless.

@Penryn87 It actually also says a lot that the illusion of the scene remains completely believable and the fx shots are able to be held for a long period and not start looking fake. Sorry but crappy CGI shots can't do that no matter how exhaustingly edited they are.

@Timvelopement You mean the OVERTURE that was always on the film?

[Timvelopement]

The scene looks nice but boy is the original film slow. Civilisations have risen and fallen in less time than that film took to get anywhere. Let's not forget that weird star field effect at the very start of the film, what was the point of that?

@jpmaximus1

It was a huge model with plenty of lights.
