Jim, I want this. As much as you wanted the Enterprise, I WANT THIS.

The visuals are absolutely beautiful and moving at 1:49 to 1:54. No CGI today can match this!

This is the closest that Science Fiction ever came to presenting an allusion to PROCREATIONAL AS APPOSED TO RECREATIONAL REPRODUCTION.and this was within the confines of space movies. It's not just to reproduce the same old obsolete human image, but a better, more lasting and more effective image into physical creation that was noted in this clip.

The circle of lights at the 2:51 mark, possibly the true form of the Q?

V'ger wouldn't just totally pwn the borg, but everybody else in the entire quadrant.

@Snargifer The synths are similar because Goldsmith scored both movies and I think he may have used the Blaster Beam again in First Contact, although very subtlely that time as it's not clear if it's the actual B.B. or a synth equivalent.

looks like he was in "7th heaven" lolz.

Decker and Ilia is one of the best love stories in film history.

@DaveM599 yeh that's right ,I don't know why they say v'ger has a connection to the borg , v'ger is way more advanced , if the borg had that technology they would conquer the universe. I think roddenberry himself started the rumor off, but he was joking .

[Snargifer]

@DaveM599 Perhaps there is no connection but Spock says "Resistance is futile, captain" or "would be", can't remember which. It's possible V'Ger had some kind of influence when the Borg were being made for the Star Trek universe. The same synths (in the music) that were used to represent the Borg in First Contact were also used to represent V'Ger. Honestly, connecting the Borg with the machine planet would be pretty interesting in my opinion.

[DaveM599]

I don't want to start an argument with this, but V'Ger can't have any connection with the Borg. The level of technology of the machine planet is far too advanced for the Borg, etc., etc. It's really stretching too far and warping too many things to connect V'Ger or what re-fitted it with the Borg. V'Ger is not part organic, even if it is self-aware. There are just some superficial similarities with the Borg. Let V'Ger stand or fall on it's own terms.
