- This is my VHS-Rip of Earth Star Voyager a science fiction television movie from 1988.
The movieplot : a space mission to find another planet suitable for colonization. Duncan Regehr and Brian McNamara star. Directed by James Goldstone, who steered the pilot episode for the Star Trek TV series.
In the year 2082, the Earth deep-space exploration vessel, Vanguard Explorer, has suffered heavy damage, due to the efforts of Captain Jacob 'Jake' Brown trying to keep his ship out of the hands of mutineers led by his second-in-command, Vance Arthur. Feigning compliance, Jake attacks Vance and knocks him senseless long enough for him to get to an escape pod and launch into space. However, the cause of the damage on board the Vanguard Explorer is unknown. - Розваги
I was 37 when this came out, recorded it to watch later. Worked the night shift at our local VA hospital. Rather enjoyed it, watched the tape until my VCR died. Now I would like to find this on DVD for my library. I am now 70 and still enjoy watching it.
This came out when I was young dont know what age I was when i first saw it on Disney Sunday Movies. I'm now 40 and I still get chills when I watch it. Great Movie
I'm 57 and get you bro :)
Hopefully you can enjoy it at 90.
Did you manage to download this and get it on dvd?
You can find it in DVD format on Ebay. That's where I got my DVD copy - and I still have my VHS copy from the original 1988 showing.
Its August, 2023. It was 35 years ago when I watched this on the Sunday night Disney movie as a 12 year old. I'm 47 now and I wonder where those years went.
I never thought I would live to be 70 here's to another ten years.🍺🍺🍺
Someone decided that earth wasn't quite ready. As a primary delegate from earth to both the galactic federation and galactic alliance, mankind is unsuitable for further exploration without maturing some. Someone like me is the first major step and there will be others to come, provided you survive the tests that come to every barbaric civilization.
I was a little kid watching this with my father. I’m so glad this was on UA-cam. I am having such a memory lane moment. Wish my dad was still here. Thanks for having it here.
I remember seeing this movie. I must have been about 25 years old. That's been almost 40 years ago.
Fun fact. This was filmed on the old Expo 86 grounds. That is why you see a Monorail in the background.
I finally found this movie after lots of searching... Googling "Space movie 1980's" is pretty generic..... as soon as I saw it again I Instantly said "Heyyyyy I've seen that place before, It was in Stargate SG-1, and the 4400, and Battlestar Galactica".... The super cheap production values meant that almost EVERY set you see in the entire movie is constructed in the same building, the Trussed roof structure gave it away, The Ship.. Triangular trussed roof, the combat pit space station thing... triangular trussed roof.. the shuttle they boarded,,, very same roof.... The set is Plaza of Nations
750 Pacific Boulevard, Vancouver
Voyager 7
Every Sunday night, my family would pop popcorn, cut up some apples, and had Hershey’s chocolate and Diet Coke for the _Disney Sunday Movie._
Along with BRAT Patrol and Double Switch, this was a part of the ones we recorded in VHS and I watched over and over again.
This has lived rent free in my head for nearly 35 years. Shocked that it's been on here for so long without me finding it
25 and i remember my friends younger brother going on about this film , so we watched it with him and me and his big brother were impressed. Wish those times were here again, we lost my friend in 94 , now I'm his big brother.
Omg, this was a real treat. I was 16 years old when this came out. I THOGHT we were going to be young forever. Ha ha.
I learned a good lesson.
Reality bites! Lol
I wish this had become a series
Me too, a Disney Sunday special, this deserves a series ❤
I have waited over 30 years to watch the ending of this film. I grew up over seas and my late grandfather sent vhs copies of recorded shows. The last 1/2 hour of this show didn’t fit on the vhs. I can finally rest
I too had a VHS rip of this as a kid. So awesome to watch again, over three decades later. Amazing to realign all these scattered memories of this movie. It's really something special to relive a piece of your childhood, especially when it's so well preserved. Thanks for this!
your welcome :)

I am placing you under arrest in the name of the GRAMMAR POLICE.
Our family was also one that recorded this off tv on vhs back in the 80s. My sister and I watched this together over and over. It's an exclusive club that enjoyed this special that way, anytime any of us had a rainy day, bored, or sick with the flu, we all put this on and I'm proud that everyone here was part of it. Most people in the world have never seen this back then but I find there is one commonality among the families that have, they are all good wholesome people, let's all go to Demeter! ♡
"Jonathan, what have you done?!" He cut you off, that's what he did.
You know you’re old when Watching this as a kid and now all these years later coming to the disturbing realization that I am now older than the “old” 36 year old Character.
Big difference in how I saw it in 88 and now 🤦. Feeling old and tired. A bit depressing 😞 well...poop..😭🤣
LoL...
Clearly you aren't old enuf IF you even remember watching this! :P
lol i am 48 going on 49 and can still hit 50 push ups getting old its because you did not take care of your body age is but a number
I saw that movie a long time ago, I could almost be the grand father (70) of that "old" 36 years old Character. Yes, I am getting old, I still feel good and am very active, going fishing in the nearby river every day without rain from early spring to late fall. You got to love getting old and enjoy life to its fullest. Take care old man... LOL
I missed this in 1988. Thank you for providing it here!
It’s 10 May 2024. Loving it. From Singapore 🇸🇬
I loved this as a kid. My favorite part is the ending. The thought of being young and heading to a new world, its beautiful. I don't know where 30 years went, but its a time I wish I could go back to.
Right toward the end is when the whole puzzle comes together. Admiral Beasley's sinister plan.
You are on a starship outbound in suspended amination sleep. You are dreaming this. The real Earth was destroyed by a nuclear war in 1989.
@@charlesphillips1468 Good, I'm glad because people back on earth suck. Admiral Beasley had a point.
I love this, even here, on a 5 year old edited comment, YT says 3 comment and shows 2. Well, anyways, I would like to go back to 1991. That was the beginning of the best technology in snowboards and mtn bikes. I just want a one way ticket please. I remember this film well and it comes to mind often as I watch the current present unfold.
@@thetruthisoutthereyt Yeah I'd love to go back to 1991 I was 18... ohh how I wish I could..getting older is not my favorite things to do, don't know if it's depressing or wishing to go back and relive it all over again, I'd not want to change one thing well one thing, stop my husband from doing things that gave him CKD stage 3, only thing I would want to change to have a fuller life with him and not have to always watch what he is allowed to eat vs me I have 90% kidney function, so I have to hold back on what I can eat so he can enjoy food also. Ohh well, to everyone let's all use our psychic energy to time warp back!! :)
I was 32 years old when this miniseries premiered on ABC. It’s now 2019 and it’s still not available on home video. EARTHSTAR VOYAGER was living proof that a great sci-fi miniseries could be made on a low budget. And Academy Award-winner Richard Edmund handled the visual effects. Worth watching.
2023 and still no mention of it on IMDB. Truly a shame
The OTZ was a concept that has stayed with me for decades.
The Doctor character was one of the Lone Gunmen.
When I first saw the Cyborg I immediately thought of the Borg.
What a blast from the past! Was disappointed the two-part pilot was never picked up for a regular series. Thanks for sharing it.
To be fair. I don't know if it would have survived. Star Trek was still a pretty big science fiction fixture for younger audiences at that point in time and Star Trek: The Next Generation's recent premier less than a year earlier meant that Earth Star Voyager would have to compete with it and that wasn't going to be a winning battle no matter how good Earth Star Voyager's pilot was.
There is another thing to consider. Since Earth Star Voyager was always envisioned as a sort of "Kid's Star Trek", it was probably better that it only got a pilot and that pilot happened to end on a strong note. Had the show gone on for a season or so, it likely would have ended up taking a bad turn and that would have left a sour taste in our mouths. It is better to wonder what could have been rather than lament a show that started strong and ended weak.
Finally! I have searched over 20 years for this movie. I watched part of it in my early teens, way past my bedtime. I was fascinated.Thank you for sharing.
“Earth Voyager “ is the very good sci-fiction movie (1988) as I never heard about it before.
I remember this movie!! How did I not find it sooner!!
This was made back when they actually put a little thought and imagination into the movies. No trash or smut.....just wholesome and interesting.
considering this is a made for tv movie starter series .... yes earth star voyager was one of the many space camp style movies ... it was nice back then but then buck rogers came along and erin grey and these kids were left behind the bus for sex appeal
Thanks!
I am downloading it ....
;)
Buck Rogers ran from around ‘78 to ‘81 I believe.
only that it does not reflect true image of Earth human composite...its racist as f&*&&*k
@@resistor27It did, I watched it when I was 7 and 8 yrs old then Earth Star Voyager came out ten yrs later, watched that too.
My son’s and I watched and recorded this off of the Disney Channel. It was one of our favorite movies. Several times we would all end up with the flu at the same time. We would hunker down in the living room on the sleeper sofa. We each took turns picking movies to watch and this movie was always picked by one of us. Thanks for uploading it.
I vaguely remembered this as Disney trying to do an original series.
The one line that I did remember was "do you want a laser that might work or a well-aimed rock!"
One of my favorites ever made! Thank you for recording this and uploading it to UA-cam!
Damn, an actual happy childhood memory.
I love this movie and it has held up very well over the year.
One thing that is interesting to me is that it was shot mostly around the Vancouver area immediately after Expo 86. This made for some amazing location shots as everything looked pretty “futuristic” at the time and meant that set design could be minimized.
Most of the scenes were done on the recently closed Expo grounds. The opening scene for Earth with the monorail was done at the Plaza of Nations. The large glazed corridor behind bridge that was also incorporated in the model was the upper level of the BC Pavilion.. which is now the Edgewater Casino. Expo Tomorrow shows the Science World Omnimax geodesic dome. And the bridge of the Earth Star Voyager itself was made out of the USSR Pavilion.
This is part of why the sets seem to have such an immense amount of space.. even making the positively cavernous Enterprise D seem cosy.
Blue Star Gamma was a repurposed power plant. You can see the boilers. Possibly one of the district heating plants in downtown Vancouver.
thnx for sharing. 👌
😮that is so cool!
Awesome information and thank you for sharing this
The ship is damaged.
"Will make it home, sir?"
"You bet we are."
That kind of grit lacks from sci fi heroes nowadays.
I was thinking about this today, I still can't believe how this extended pilot from Disney stuck in my brain for... well, my entire life! I could still remember certain lines and moments, and this was just really cool to see again for nostalgia's sake.
My tv recepton was horrible plus vhs tape hard to watch
But i repeatedly watched it anyway. I still have.
@@rollsmc5744
You can take this, download it, and write it to a DVD as a backup. I downloaded this to an external hard drive. I need to buy a blu ray drive that can also read/write DVDs.
I loved this movie as a kid. My Dad actually worked on many of the set pieces. It was filmed in Vancouver a lot of which was done at the Expo grounds.
im looking into making a 3d printable model of this ship. if anyone knows of an existing stl or a collection of photos suitable for photogrammetry, please let me know
This was filmed on the 1986 Expo world's fair grounds in Vancouver BC? Cool I was there. It was fun.
Remember watching this when it first aired I was 7 or 8 I watched the first part but never got to see the second part. For years and years never saw it. Thank God for UA-cam can finally see it lol.
Thank you! I saw it in Chile in 1990 and I loved it.😀 It would have been great if they had made more episodes.
Thanks for sharing this memory. I enjoyed it a lot!! 👍👍👍
I loved this movie when it aired (in two parts) in 1988. I was turning 8 that year, and loved space and sci-fi. My parents recorded it on vhs, and I watched it over and over. So good to see it again. I still love it, even with the holes and cheesy technology (hey, they were working with what they had!). Thanks for uploading!
I was in Okinawa Japan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines and Camp Pendelton in 1988. So I kind of missed it.
Misawa in 1988 at 13 years old
@@mattrasmussen3232 FEN didn't exactly carry this kind of stuff.
I was in 14 in Germany in 88, AFN did not air this that I remember either. Cool throwback that I get to see at 50.
How nice for you. A memory coming home to meet you again.
AFTER 30 YEARS, I'VE FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!!
That was really good. Having no corny over the top American exceptionalism made it even better.
I actually, remember watching this on TV when it came out.
The Nostalgia!!
Been reminded of this film multiple times over the last few years, glad I finally looked it up, something. There's something about classic sci-fi that the modern stuff always ignores due to the magic shields that prevent 99% of harm. .
Thank YOU! Thank you VERY MUCH! I hadn't seen this in years, I had lost my VHS copy just after the turn of the century (boy does that make me sound old). I use to watch it off and on often over the years and didn't realize how much I missed it. Thank you again for the trip to the past with this very special viewing treat.
You mean the turn of the millennium?
Same. I taped it for my kids, but the VHS tape finally went the way of all magnetic media... My kids loved it so much, and they're all in their 30s and 40s now, but I'm loving watching it and remembering all the times we watched it together.
Haven't seen this in 27 years. Nice to see it again.
✌😐 live long
The great thing about space Travelers once you hit the speed, that's your maximum. You can turn off the engine and travel for free. For millions of years, if you want as long as you don't get into a gravitational pull, you will forever go straight with the engines off.
I watch this Movie when I was 3 Year old on my Birthday in February 24 and I never get tired to watch it every year on my Birthday, I am a Big Fan of the Man Kind space Exploration starting with the Astronauts of the Project Mercury like John Glen, Gemini Project, Apollo like Neil Armstrong, Sky Lap and Space Shuttle Even Thought I am a Star Wars and Star Trek Fan
This was peak 80s. Wireframe CGI, violin theme music, glam rock gladiators, computers must beepadiboopity constantly, music louder than dialogue, proto-Borg...
Thanks for uploading this classic film. So far never released on DVD and the VHS version is rare to find and only 120 minutes long. I hope others can enjoy this movie forever.
For the record: DUNCAN REGEHR ... was-IS a true gentleman, an ever so talented actor, gifted artist and a gift to any production. I know this because Duncan was the title character / bad guy in a film I wrote called 'THE BANKER' (1989) ...
I was truly fortunate to work with him and gleefully would again in a millisecond given the opportunity ...
D.A.
MeBeTheDB, And it doesn't hurt that u look a bit like him, beard & all. Ha, ha!
Seen it when it first aired, loved it then, love it now, nice to watch a movie without cursing.
I thank you for this! One of my favs from my youth! Wish they had done more with this movie as far as publishing... :)
Most excellent. Ty for sharing. Can't believe this hasn't made it to at least a DVD. Ah well, will be showing my family this.. this weekend. LOL.
Thank you! Wanted to watch this back when it first aired but my family was invited out for dinner so I was not happy. Thank god for UA-cam. Getting to see all the Disney shows I never saw the end of as a kid. This and The Kids Who Knew Too Much.
This takes me back, never thought I'd see it again. I remember watching it back in 1992 or '91 in Poland. It aired in 4 parts about 45 minutes each.
Dokładnie, a tytuł brzmiał "Z Ziemii do gwiazd" i pod tym tytułem usiłowałem go znaleźć, bez powodzenia. Pozdrawiam
thank u for posting this I use to watch this as a kid and glad I found it again.
Thanks for sharing with us, I was station overseas in Germany when this aired in 1988.
I love you I love you I love you!!!!! This was my favorite movie as a kid and my VCR stopped working so i can't watch it anymore! So happy to have found it!!!!!
This was good. I'm surprised they didn't make this into a televisoin series like they did with Battlestar Gallactica. Thanks for posting.
Oh my god I LOVE you!! I used to love this movie when I was a kid. I've been searching for it for years. THANK YOU for this!
I’ve been trying to find this for over 10 years! I only got to see part of it when I was 6 in 1988! Thank you so much. I finally got to see the whole thing and understand what was going on. It truly is a shame it was only a pilot. It had a lot of potential.
good film i wish all the actor's and actress's in this movie well where ever they are.
This is when I really got interested in sci-fi. It didn't hurt that the lead was cute. I kinda liked the Captain too. They were warning us about the environment back then.😮 God I feel old.😢 15:52
Thanks for this! I LOVED this movie when I was a kid. My Dad taped it off the tv and I used to drive my parents nuts watching it over and over lol.
Had my own VHS of this. I've seen this movie a 100 times and I love it. Thanks for preserving it. Disney will never sell this movie for some reason. I never understood it. They made it, they have it, why not put it on blue ray and let us give them money? /shrug
The fact this isn't on disney+ is a shame and also pretty telling of disney's supposedly strong hate for this show.
why?
Hi. THANK YOU for uploading this. I have never seen this scifi movie, and it is pretty Amazing for its time.
wow i cant believe this made it on youtube! I watched this when it came out in the 80's and it was awesome! the opening sequence at the beginning takes place at disney world epcot center when they first built it.. so funny. the way they portray the future. Love the green burgers too!! thanks a bunch for uploading this video.
Thank you SO MUCH for uploading this! I missed it when it originally aired. It's taken nearly 30 years to get a chance to watch this again! :)
Me 2!
I also had a vhs copy, loved it then, glad to see it today
I remember when this came out on ABC in the spring of 1988 I was a teenager.
I remember it too, I saw it on the tank range while on guard duty.
thanks for the upload, haven't seen this in like 20 years
if only I had seen this in 88 when I was 11, I would have LOVED it!
I was... and I did... well I was 7, but ya.
@@DustoMan Same here LOL!
Right!
Me too, was 13 in 88.
I saw it when I was 8, and I’ve always remembered the old lady who says “As right as rain...” and the short scene when they chase the rock & roll. Can’t wait to hear the song they chase in a few minutes...
Wow, just WOW!!!
First I have to say, I never knew this film existed. I'm 53 and this is the first time I've seen it.
I really wish I had seen it back then but at least I've seen it.
What a treat. Lately I have seen a few private made videos and they all suck, but not this one. This is by far the best thing I've seen outside of Star Wars and Star Trek. A lot of people did a great job 👏👍👌🙌😀❤
By the way I was in the Army and overseas when this came out.
Living in Britain I have never heard of it. In 2023, I’m not sure the future will look like this in 2080ish and be like this. It shows how quickly Sci-fi dates.
This is a true story. I was the old lady at 8:00. I died soon after and reincarnated yesterday here in the past. I found this movie while I was reviewing my past lives. It has been very helpful -- now everything almost makes sense. Thank you !
im looking into making a 3d printable model of this ship. if anyone knows of an existing stl or a collection of photos suitable for photogrammetry, please let me know
It's like Riker with a dozen Wesleys.
I was watching this in a public place, read your comment and a lot of heads turned when I laughed so hard.... hilarious 😂
I was a teen when this came on Disney show in '88 and thought it was really cool. Star Trek TNG had just come on syndication, but as I recall there was no other sci fi shows on at the time.
This is where they thought we'd be 60 years from now.
I remember watching this as my family recorded this movie off TV back in 1988. It is still funny and exciting as it was back then as it is now.
Captain Brown is really hot🤩😍
I was just thinking how much I wanted to see this movie again, and then there it shows up in my recommends.
Your phone is spying on you....

I had forgotten that I watched this before, but also watched it when it first came out in the theaters with my sons, so here I am watching it again, oh well, LOL, space travel may be attained one day, but not with the way the world is going right now, so sad….HIGH 5
Why have I been watching this 35 minutes into it, wishing my little grandson was with me? My now 15 yr old grandson, would watch it with me if he were near...he always did. Oh wait, no foul language. Rather nice for a change, even if their keyboard is older than mine!
What is REALLY fascinating is how much the scout looks like a Borg. After some research, I found that even though the first OFFICIAL appearance of the Borg didn't happen until 1989, they were hinted at all the way back to the Vger probe in STTMP. There must have been idea stealing somewhere along the lines :)
The Borg/V'Ger connection is entirely a construction of the fandom itself and not much else. There was never any intention to connect the Borg to V'Ger.
@@startrekmike This. The Fandom connection of the Borg is taken all the way back to TOS; there's the theory that the planet destroyer in 'The Doomsday Machines was built by another race for the specific purpose of destroying the Borg.
@@brothergrimace3859 Yeah. That was likely started by one of the more sloppy pseudo-fan fiction level novels (Peter David's 'Vendetta', I believe). This kind of thing is a big reason why I REALLY don't like stuff from the novels leaking into the actual canon. The stuff in the novels is often just not very good.
Thank you for taking the time to convert this from VHS and uploading it ! It must have taken a LOT of time
How I loved (and still love) this micro-series!
I remember seeing this in the late 80s at age 11 or 12 and thought it's a good sci-fi that was overlooked by the public/critics.
Wow. Thank you for this! What a nostalgic reminder of the late 80's and my first year in college. This would have made a great TV series at the time but I think it got overshadowed by STAR TREK: TNG which premiered the year before. This is a great example of the high concept space adventures I loved as kid and wish there was more of today. It's infused with such youthful vigor, enthusiasm, optimism and even a touch of the omnipresent teen sexual angst that defined so much of late 80's popular entertainment.
TNG needs no apologizes.
@@keithbrenny2889 Yeah, no. TNG is vomit.
Your opinion is worse than vomit
@@mattrasmussen3232 Look in the mirror and see the ugly monster you are T R O L L .... TROLL TROLL TROLL... this is what your life has become... how fucking SAD you are....
Thanks for posting this. It actually holds up fairly well, better than some shows from the 80's. Brings back memories.
runejens, thanks for uploading this. I was just ten years old when this originally aired and I only caught the last half of it. I've had only a vague idea as to the main plot of this movie for so many years. Now not only do I know that I have also learned that Jacob Brown's character was played by Duncan Regehr and not Jonathan Frakes like I always thought. You've really helped me sort out my memories. Many, many thanks.
Great movie ... I miss the 90's
one of the better early sci fi movies, worth a watch,
I was 10 when I saw it for the first time. Those times this movie was really great and still is. What a pity they didn't make more series it would have been a great TV-shows. Thanks for uploading it. Thanks for getting back those feelings I had many years ago watching this movie.
I was only 6 when it came out I remember watching it the and a few time as a early teen bc we had taped it. I've try for a long to to find a copy of it. So I'm really happy it was on UA-cam still love watching it 30+ years later. Never remove this movie
I was a teen in the 80s and would have LOVED this but never heard of it! Thanks for posting this! Going to buy a copy if its available.
Hadn't seen this before, but you know what? It's pretty decent! The writing beats the crappy stuff we get these days, and the sets and costumes are very good for it's day---and on a TV budget no less. You can see how this must've influenced later series like BSG and TNG(that was a Borg if I've ever seen one!) Certainly worth watching.
The Shell was a Borg before the Borg was a Borg
@@Hated_Sien Sorry, but Lord Dread in Captain Power And The Soldiers Of The Future beat both to the punch in 1987.
@@NieR.Amanda OMG, you really just brought up my childhoon on that one. I had the toys that you could play with while watching Captain Power...
Nah this was kinda crappy too, but it's the kinda crap we like! Trust me, my parents complained about OUR stuff we way we complain about today's TV. We're just old. BUt man, did I love these shows from this period.
BSG the movie and TV show (with Lorne Greene, Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict) aired in the '70s. That probably influenced Voyager.
Forgot about SeaQuest...how many of these never saw the light of day, yes, quite good...being 66 and remembering the first ep of dr. who...for its year this is good.
SeaQuest was a cool tv show.
Priceless, thank you for preserving such a treasure.
I had the feeling they were trying this out for a series but couldn't get a green light passed the movie.
Too bad.
That was precisely the plan. That, or follow-up films. This was basically a pilot played as a Wonderful World of Disney family movie of the week...
Never heard of this; never saw it before. Thank you.
I've wanted to see this way back when never thought is get to see it thank you so much
Saw this twice, decades ago. Never completely. Always on TV. Should have been made into a series. Thank you.
A cool idea: Why not reunite these actors , not for a reboot, but a conclusion to the story. It is 30 years later and their mission should be nearing its end.
That is a very funny reaction! :-)
@Oliver Eales
Interesting idea. Or, a network could buy the rights to this movie and film a sequel using any actors, then "join" the two films as a mini-series.
Still, I have to say that I prefer your idea over my lame idea.
They could call it the voyage home. Oh wait star trek has it covered!
