"Klingon Battle" with the V'ger Cloud - Star Trek TMP Remade

HD recommended.

The first part of what will hopefully be a series of videos based on Star Trek The Motion Picture.

Interior dialogue scenes omitted for copyright reasons and replaced with new exterior shots. I wish I could have made the V'ger cloud seem more dynamic and ominous, it looks kind of flat. Also I thought it was a bit too green, this is corrected in the Enterprise and V'ger encounter video.

The production quality is good. The Vger's motion can be made out at the very end. That's somthing that was never made clear in the original movie. The only and I mean only thing you didn't do correctly was that you should helped the perspective by making distant parts of the Vger cloud a touch fuzzy and the closer portions sharp. Its what the human eye expects. Otherwise its ready to deliver to the film editors for the final cut of the movie.

Yes I tend to ignore depth of field unless it's very easy to do, like for the ships in these scenes when one is obviously further away, but not the cloud as that would have made this even more painstaking!

Another great video though the motion picture was terribly made when it was rushed to be shown in theaters I think the images and music made it bearable to watch. I must admit the attention grabber of the first few minutes till leaving drydock was kind of cool after that the movie falls flat which is a shame cause it could have been better, but that is just an opinion. If you compare the two star trek 5 was better but had awful effects.

Personally I much prefer TMP to TFF, even though it was a rushed job it has so many great scenes such as this one, and there is a depth to it. V'ger is a wonderous entity compared to to "God", so powerful, yet so simplistic. The ending makes you think that V'ger-Decker-Ilia are still out there, exploring beyond logic. Haven't watched TFF for years, it has a bad story, bad effects and lots of errors like using TNG sets unchanged etc. The soundtrack is great though!

Which is more applicable for this clip: 'we come in peace and shoot to kill', or 'don't shoot it, you'll just make it angry'.

I think the Motion Picture was better, but I keep wondering how Final Frontier would have been if they had managed to get ILM to do the effects--it would have been cool to see their version of the whole 'God chases Kirk' thing.

And I thought I was the only one who caught the klingon cruiser firing a second shot at V'Ger's plasma bolt just before it hit the cruiser. Nicely done.

@TheKemTV It still scares the crap out of me!

[roadrodent1952]

Saw this in a theater with senserround sound system and the bass was rattling everything.

I would argue that this plays better without the intercuts of the Epsilon IX scene.
