You know what's even more fascinating? They used animatronic whales for almost every scene involving whales (except the stock footage of them in the open ocean). It was so realistic, Paramount got into trouble by animal rights activists and I think had a lawsuit filed against them. Leonard Nimoy had to reassure them by taking people onto the sets and showing them the whales. Even crazier is that I didn't know this myself UNTIL 2 DAYS AGO! It actually blew my mind. My whole life, I thought they used real whales. Man. Talk about amazing filmmaking.
I never really stopped to think about it, but it makes sense, I don't believe any whale species larger than Orcas, Belugas, dolphins etc has ever been held in captivity.
So long ago,but yet seems and feels like yesterday.odd whether here nor there,when shall we learn.maybe just a film why does it feel like so much more.
Hard to believe that 3 of the people in this scene, DeForrest Kelly, Leonard Nimoy, and Nichelle Nichols are all gone. Rest in peace, friends. U r sorely missed. 🥺❤️
The most fascinating part of this film is the mystery of who or what species visited earth long before humans and has a relationship with humpback whales 🐋
Dying , coming back to life, re-growing and re-maturing rapidly was a difficult and shocking experience for Spock. However, as soon as he has a scientific mystery to solve he seems back to normal again!
“Only human arrogance would assume the message must be meant for man.” And herein lies our problem. Humility, not arrogance, is what is needed in this world.
You are correct,. Humility in the world is viewed as weakness, however it is a better quality and shows proper wisdom, because humility teaches us that we have limitations and we must recognize that. People think there are no limitations, however that is also futility and vanity.
Growing up, I was displeased at Spock for saying that like he was saying that Humanity isn't worth talking to and that we're losers for thinking that we deserve to be spoken to or even exist since we're all a bunch of irrational buffoons who don't behave like unemotional machines like Spock was being like at this time.
@@girlgarde Well, lets put it this way Ryan, if you went to a strange island, and the people there ate other people, would you make contact with those people? I think not!!!!
@@girlgarde it's not that he's saying humans aren't worth talking to. To assume that humans (in the billions of years of earth's existence) are the only possible intelligence on earth is arrogant. Also, Spock is reaclimating himself with the "human condition". He just got his soul slipped back into his body.
I'm a life long Trek fan, but this idea was written by a touchy feely, hold hands and sing kumbaya kind of person. We are the dominant species on this planet. More importantly, we are the ONLY species on this planet that has the power to destroy it or save it. Not the whales...not the snails...us. Period.
I'm so glad that not only did the whale noises not have subtitles, but that the Whale Probe itself was never given an origin. There would simply have been no way to do either without making it feel contrived.
@@jasonhagar1758 I think he’s referring to the Xindi. One of the few alien races presented in Star Trek to be compromised of multiple species who all share DNA due to all being indigenous to the same planet, Xindus. There were six species mentioned, but only five actually appeared. The Primates (who are the closest in appearance to humans), the Arboreals, the Reptilians, the Aquatics, and the Insectoids, with the sixth being the extinct Avians. The Primates, Reptilians and Arboreals spoke English, but the Aquatics spoke through whale songs and the insectoids spoke through a gurgles and clicks, and both got subtitles when they spoke. I think that’s what the OP was referring to.
When I first watched this and heard the probe's transmission as it would have been heard underwater, I thought, "Oh, crap. They're doomed. There's no way they can answer that. That's whale song.
yep they originally had subs for this scene with the message being "Where are you why dont you respond? we cant hear you" but Leonard wanted the message to remain a mystery
That probe's signal sounding very different underwater vs. through air reminds me of that golden egg in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", which if opened in air, would give off a cacophony of loud, piercing noises. However, if that same egg were opened underwater, then one would hear that egg's sound as a beautiful song! That song was: Come seek us where our voices sound, We cannot sing above the ground, An hour long you'll have to look, To recover what we took. This also reminds me of that scene from the movie, "Splash", in which the Mermaid spoke her "mermaid" name, which -- at least through air -- sounded like a series of piercing squeals that SHATTERED nearby television screens! However, I have a hunch that, underwater, "Madison's" mermaid name would sound a LOT more musical!
No kidding. If you've ever stood on a beach at night, when all you can see are the waves coming at you and nothing beyond that, and you get the feeling that you are staring into an abyss; that's the feeling I got from this probe. Something so enormous and enigmatic that it just overwhelms the imagination and inspires a primal, instinctive fear. I can only imagine how magnificent the inner workings of that metal tank must be, if there are, indeed, whales piloting it.
Same here. It was so alien and was tech wise WAY more advanced then what the Federation had plus as a kid, I thought the probe was evil because it was destroying the Earth and endangering the safety and security of the Federation with its actions. I wonder who built the probe and sent it to Earth?
When I first saw the scene where they were running an analysis on the probes signals and Kirk,Spock and McCoy were watching the moniters looking for a match I find it strange that a Klingon Bird of Prey would have data on all known forms of animal life on Earth I mean don't you find that just a bit odd.
Since they commandeered it in III, then they went to Vulcan, they obviously uploaded starfleet information on it. Remember Scott said he replaced the Klingon Food packs and converted the Dilithium Sequencer to something a little less primitive.
Thank you! I always felt there was something special about the end of the whale song conversation. This makes perfect sense! Now I can't stop hearing that. Probe: I love you. Whale::We love you.
In Star Trek VI - five years after this - Uhura and the others had to use textbooks of a sort to decipher Klingon language in order to fool a Klingon patrol into thinking they were a routine supply ship while on their way to save Kirk and McCoy from Rura Penthe. Chekhov himself had said in that scene that they couldn't use the universal transmitter because it would be recognized. But in Star Trek IV - five years before - Uhura knew enough Klingon to use the captured ship's computer console to decipher what the space probe would sound like underwater. Granted, I haven't seen either movie in more than a decade so I might be wrong about this.
To be fair, being able to read klingon and being able to speak it are two entirely different things. Though given Uhura is the expert linguist of the crew, I find that a bit odd from the start as well.
It just occurred to me that this is the only film where Uhura's hair looks like it did in the film before. No idea why that occurred to me, but I thought it was neat. I like that she got given important stuff to do.
This is one of the most influential films of all time. Like Bambi before it which saw a marked decrease in hunting a year after its release conservancy groups formed to protect whales and Greenpeace saw a marked uptick in donations. Now Humpback whales in particular have been taken off the endangered species list.
I kinda realized it at 1:25, because at that point it sounds more realistically like a whale singing out of water, which is actually kind of distressing when you think about it, akin to a human being screaming for help while drowning.
@@kadejito12nd: my mom had lots of recordings of humpbacked whales so not only did I get an eerie feeling that's what this was around 1:25~1:30 but almost every other unaltered humpbacked whale vocalization in the movie used after this point was something that I could specifically remember due to repetitious listenings and the emotional feel of each "verbal" passage.
Yes, the way the unaltered probe sounded; the signal variations (modulation) suggested that it was likely meant for cetaceans (whales, dolphins, or porpoises).
It's not just one group of beings on Earth who have been crying out in pain, but many, many, many beings on Her Earth who have been stretching out in the worst agony imaginable. And this particularly terrifying agony is of an emotion of stretching pain many times greater than psychology and psychiatry have ever imagined, yet they are completely unwilling to acknowledge the pain they have directly caused. The C.I.A. and the A.P.A. kept right on abusing and torturing humans and animals and plants and decimating/destroying all the inanimate elements, such as air, water, stones, trees and grass - as well as all beings humans are so willing to call "insects". In my view, it's as though the C.I.A. and the A.P.A. responded repeatedly with: "Well, we ourselves in the CIA and APA are not feeling any pain; no one, except the CIA and APA, actually sees or hears us outside of this room or area, and therefore no one sees or hears us, and that means what we are doing is allowable for the good cause of protecting the Illuminati and the power brokers of money and real estate and sex and resources... so what harm is there in this for us - the CIA and APA? Answer from the CIA and the APA: None :)," they happily have said among themselves. "So let us, the C.I.A. and the A.P.A., continue the torture and abuse; and let us especially torture and abuse Milner Benedict III; afterall, Milner Benedict III, or Mil as he is called, is at the bottom of society: Milner Benedict III left DeMatha, Milner Benedict III refused to allow us to pump or infect him with out Johns Hopkins approved comprehensive sex education, Milner Benedict III says he has a right to be sexually ignorant, Milner Benedict III insists on being a healthy, heterosexual virgin man, and Milner Benedict III can't pay his expenses because no one will give him a good paying job (as in a job which pays him $120,000.00 per year before taxes). So we, the United States of America, will happily force Milner Benedict III onto a street corner in Washington, D.C. - we, all of us in America, the United States, will happily spit on him and point our fingers at him, and we will be happy that Milner Benedict III is poor and destitute because he refused to sell out his right minded integrity to the Rothschild family. According to Dr. Kearney and the Psychiatric Institute of Washington, Milner Benedict III is a nothing adolescent who has no rights, Milner Benedict III has no contribution to make, and we, the Illuminati, therefore have the right to abuse him." Little did the abusive United States of America ever imagine that this human being, Milner Benedict III, would earn the designation of Highlander Jedi Ambassador on behalf of The Goddess and Her Community. ALL THIS HAS BEEN caused by the Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) and all the mental health facilities which the A.P.A (American Psychiatric Association) manages and operates, and/or certifies. Milner Benedict III say the following: "I, Milner Benedict III, am a direct victim of what the C.I.A. and the A.P.A. have done to countless beings on Her Earth. THIS EARTH legally AND fully belongs to, and is owned by, The Goddess. There are many, many, many intelligent lifeforms of technology who are now racing - at the fastest speeds ever created throughout existence - to the Earth to remedy the horrific situations created by the CIA and APA. There are some beings, currently on Earth, who are able to represent the C.I.A. and A.P.A. in these matters, and one of those is me, Milner Benedict III, Highlander Jedi Ambassador." Logically, if the CIA does not provide Milner Benedict III (a man who was born on 25 July 1972 and who is someone who is a good man and who currently resides at 3003 Parkway in Cheverly, Maryland (which has a U.S. Postal Zipcode of 20785-3154)) a job/position at Langley, Virginia headquarters - a job/position which will pay him a salary of at least $120,000.00 each year, before any taxes are accounted for and collected from Milner Benedict III's yearly pay, then the CIA and APA will be "fare game" for the multiple interdimensional civilizations which are racing to Earth to take revenge on the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) and APA (American Psychiatric Association) for what they have done. Enjoy.
*Moral of the film:* _If we whale all the whales to extinction, we won't have any whales to stop an EMP-emitting storm-seeding probe trying to talk to nonexistent whales from wreaking havoc on the atmosphere, power grid and jet stream in the future._ *Moral of me trying to write this comment:* UA-cam NEEDS to get rid of the annoying new commenting bug that only shows me one line at a time when I'm trying to write the comment. This is more annoying than when UA-cam stopped us from putting annotations in our videos.
Spock: "As suspected, these are the songs sung by whales. Specifically.. Humpback whales. Whales were heavily hunted by man. They've been extinct since the late 20th century."
Actually, Spock said that Humpback Whales were extinct since the 21st century but weren't Humpback Whales still non-endangered by the time this movie came out? What could've made them go extinct in the 21st century? Environmental degradation perhaps? The writers should've had the whale species the probe was trying to contact be Blue Whales which're actually endangered and could've easily gone extinct in the chaos and environmental degradation of 21st century Earth.
Actually Spock did say the songs were sung by Humpback Whale. But I did get the century wrong, that was my bad. Stating from the movie, presumably in the early 21st Century, man had hunted the whales to the point of extinction not realizing that an alien intelligence just might come in search of why they lost contact with this species. It stands to reason that, what if this is the case? As Spock pointed out about Human arrogance.. it was humans who could've almost ensured the Earth's demise not knowing that.
@@emeraldknight5522 Luckily, whaling got banned internationally and most nations have agreed to the ban so Humpback and Sperm Whale populations have been increasing since then so not only did we save intelligent beings from extinction for the time being, we also may have saved ourselves from the probe if it ever turns up.
@@girlgarde although despite all attempts at banning whaling as Dr Taylor later said there are still countries and pirates currently engaged in the slaughter of those inoffensive creatures.
@@mikegallant811 Sadly, you're correct but it isn't as widespread as it once was. If only there was a way for whaling to be halted completely as whaling is basically murdering sentient beings. Perhaps someone should start hunting whalers.
Plot glitch #435678, if that is a Klingon bird-of-prey, why would they have scientific information about an extinct Earth whale species? Just sayin', ST4 was still one of the best of the franchise's movies.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Vulcans preparing the bird-of-prey for departure decided to transfer a ridiculous amount of random information to its computers
@@Casocki That's always been my take, the bridge had been overhauled in the time they were on Vulcan. They (The Vulcans) most likely added information to the computers about all of the federation planets into the computers----a library's worth of knowledge of all federation planets. That ship wasn't ever getting back to the Klingons, it would be Federation property in the hands of starfleet.
@@flirtydirty24 and as Mr sulu quite aptly said it on board computer will interface with Federation memory bank. So even though the bird of prey was a Klingon vessel it was able to interface with Federation stuff in other words even including memory alpha.
I'd like to see a confrontation between the Whale Probe and V'ger. I imagine that V'ger /once he realized that Humans are the Creator/ would fight tooth and nail to stop the Whale Probe from ravaging the Earth or at least try to reason with it and explain that its actions are endangering the Creator.
I wish the end had whale subtitles. When you think about it, it's pivotal to the story's plot. Especially when the viewer has enough questions unanswered by the end. Good film but
Earth had nothing to do with it. The book is nearly 600 pages and covers everything about the Probe. An awesome part is that a species in 'square ships' tried to take over the Probe, but were unsuccessful. This entry is about four years before the Borg were introduced on TNG and is considered their first mention.
@@r0bw00d ...yes but they didn't really address it, cause then they would not really be a movie. I know Spock said it would sound like gibberish if they played whale sounds. (Like he knows that) They didn't even try to play whale sounds. Yes, this was a great movie. But the more I think about it, it was really stupid. ha ha....Hollywood fooled us good ! A black log space ship with a soccer ball popping out, that talks to whales , destroys earth. And like they can time travel to the exact time they want. Boy, they have discovered everything in the future !!
Well I think the bird of prey had all that info because in between Star Trek 3 and 4 a few months had past and they were doing work on the ship including adding their database to it
We'd best not ask where they got that Earth specific database from, the Enterprise was destroyed in Star Trek 3 after all. Unless you can believe the Vulcans' records on Earth are *that* extensive. Then again, why not? They'd been dealing with humanity for over 150 years by that point.

The most under rated Star Trek movie, just a good ole fashioned buddy flick.
+TheH3dgie Rated as the second best movie means that it's not underrated at all. Great movie, only beaten by The Wrath of Khan.
Rated where my friend?
Usually when people mention the movies, it's Khan and Undiscovered Country
OTS H3dgie you mean the most overrated. Don't understand why Trekkers say this is the best. It's the worst
then i guess you dont understand anything... pity
My top fave flick of the TOS era.
"If my suspicion is correct, there can be no response to this message." That statement gave me dread as a kid, and still does now.

Best of all the Star Trek movies. Total badassery all around!

A one of a kind work of Art that made Humans realize for a second that they are not that smart or important

This is beautiful.

However, if that same egg were opened underwater, then one would hear that egg's sound as a beautiful song! That song was:
Come seek us where our voices sound,

However, I have a hunch that, underwater, "Madison's" mermaid name would sound a LOT more musical!
I love how it took uhura two seconds to use the Klingon computer to get the underwater sound.
Of all the original ST films, this had the best cinematography.
That probe always scared me as a kid.
Odilwerk
Yes, Very scary when I was a kid
Still not exactly comforting as an adult.
Actually I thought it sad that it was looking for something it couldn't find and was unintentionally destroying the planet in the process.

At least you can do is write a few words of respect about the species

Logically, if the CIA does not provide Milner Benedict III (a man who was born on 25 July 1972 and who is someone who is a good man and who currently resides at 3003 Parkway in Cheverly, Maryland (which has a U.S. Postal Zipcode of 20785-3154)) a job/position at Langley, Virginia headquarters - a job/position which will pay him a salary of at least $120,000.00 each year, before any taxes are accounted for and collected from Milner Benedict III's yearly pay, then the CIA and APA will be "fare game" for the multiple interdimensional civilizations which are racing to Earth to take revenge on the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) and APA (American Psychiatric Association) for what they have done.
Enjoy.

young one. execise.
I need to stick my head in a sink full of water and play this sound to see if they're right.
Don't do it for too long.
Blub ?
So, does this mean blue tangs and clownfish are also extinct? Because Dory can speak whale.
"The President did say it was directed at Earth's oceans."
Did he?
In a way he did
"The Probe is vaporizing our oceans"
0:20….
Spock was do you make that!!!
I don't know why but when whales sing it reminds me of a mermaid singing under water and it makes me cry because I feel bad
The whales need your support. Help stop whaling!
Can you imagine dory in this movie or how she would react
“Wow I wish I could speak whale like that”
Beautiful but kinda spooky sounds
🥰
*Moral of the film:*
_If we whale all the whales to extinction, we won't have any whales to stop an EMP-emitting storm-seeding probe trying to talk to nonexistent whales from wreaking havoc on the atmosphere, power grid and jet stream in the future._
*Moral of me trying to write this comment:*
UA-cam NEEDS to get rid of the annoying new commenting bug that only shows me one line at a time when I'm trying to write the comment. This is more annoying than when UA-cam stopped us from putting annotations in our videos.
Simplistically speaking, the moral is: You don't know what you got until it's gone.
Spock always knows where the bear shits in the buckwheat.
Under the waters of The Firmament.
Kirk: Dory can you translate?
Dory: Can't right now... drinking adrenochrome....
It's 2023 and the whales are attacking boats and showing up in unexpected places. I wonder how far off or adjacent this "science fiction" could be.

Spock: "As suspected, these are the songs sung by whales. Specifically.. Humpback whales. Whales were heavily hunted by man. They've been extinct since the late 20th century."
Actually, Spock said that Humpback Whales were extinct since the 21st century but weren't Humpback Whales still non-endangered by the time this movie came out? What could've made them go extinct in the 21st century? Environmental degradation perhaps?
The writers should've had the whale species the probe was trying to contact be Blue Whales which're actually endangered and could've easily gone extinct in the chaos and environmental degradation of 21st century Earth.
Actually Spock did say the songs were sung by Humpback Whale. But I did get the century wrong, that was my bad. Stating from the movie, presumably in the early 21st Century, man had hunted the whales to the point of extinction not realizing that an alien intelligence just might come in search of why they lost contact with this species. It stands to reason that, what if this is the case? As Spock pointed out about Human arrogance.. it was humans who could've almost ensured the Earth's demise not knowing that.
@@emeraldknight5522 Luckily, whaling got banned internationally and most nations have agreed to the ban so Humpback and Sperm Whale populations have been increasing since then so not only did we save intelligent beings from extinction for the time being, we also may have saved ourselves from the probe if it ever turns up.
@@girlgarde although despite all attempts at banning whaling as Dr Taylor later said there are still countries and pirates currently engaged in the slaughter of those inoffensive creatures.
@@mikegallant811 Sadly, you're correct but it isn't as widespread as it once was. If only there was a way for whaling to be halted completely as whaling is basically murdering sentient beings.
Perhaps someone should start hunting whalers.
Plot glitch #435678, if that is a Klingon bird-of-prey, why would they have scientific information about an extinct Earth whale species? Just sayin', ST4 was still one of the best of the franchise's movies.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Vulcans preparing the bird-of-prey for departure decided to transfer a ridiculous amount of random information to its computers
Really ? External database ?
@@Casocki That's always been my take, the bridge had been overhauled in the time they were on Vulcan. They (The Vulcans) most likely added information to the computers about all of the federation planets into the computers----a library's worth of knowledge of all federation planets. That ship wasn't ever getting back to the Klingons, it would be Federation property in the hands of starfleet.
@@flirtydirty24 and as Mr sulu quite aptly said it on board computer will interface with Federation memory bank. So even though the bird of prey was a Klingon vessel it was able to interface with Federation stuff in other words even including memory alpha.
Ursoid Sounds
This was a creepy moment
i haven't watched tvh yet and when i saw the title i thought they were gonna be singing a sea shanty or something
needless to say i was disappointed
THERE BE WHALES
Too bad they couldn't get dory.
I'd like to see a confrontation between the Whale Probe and V'ger. I imagine that V'ger /once he realized that Humans are the Creator/ would fight tooth and nail to stop the Whale Probe from ravaging the Earth or at least try to reason with it and explain that its actions are endangering the Creator.
I always wished that they had followed the prob to its origin and tried to commnicate with them. Putty they never explored that further.
That's a whole series...at least.
Or read the novel Probe
Wye have STAR TREK 4 ever a PG rating and not a G rating?!!!
+mr.adventure01 "Double dumbass on you!" might be one reason.
mr.adventure01 and that probe was scary as fuck
"One damn minute, Admiral!"
What does GOD need with a Whale and a salt and pepper shaker? @therealnimoy @williamshatner @davidjlaurie
I wish the end had whale subtitles. When you think about it, it's pivotal to the story's plot. Especially when the viewer has enough questions unanswered by the end. Good film but
yeah even today i am still confused on why a probe would want to have a chat with some Whales?
Read "Probe."
Though noting cannon, the aliens were more like dolphins than whales. Earth wasn't the only planet they were contacting.
great several civilizations get destroyed all because that Probe couldn't contact some Whales.
Earth had nothing to do with it. The book is nearly 600 pages and covers everything about the Probe. An awesome part is that a species in 'square ships' tried to take over the Probe, but were unsuccessful. This entry is about four years before the Borg were introduced on TNG and is considered their first mention.
say what? O.O
So all they had to do was play whale sounds under water. Or the Soccer ball alien would of destroy the planet.
That was addressed in the movie.
@@r0bw00d ...yes but they didn't really address it, cause then they would not really be a movie. I know Spock said it would sound like gibberish if they played whale sounds. (Like he knows that) They didn't even try to play whale sounds. Yes, this was a great movie. But the more I think about it, it was really stupid. ha ha....Hollywood fooled us good ! A black log space ship with a soccer ball popping out, that talks to whales , destroys earth.
And like they can time travel to the exact time they want. Boy, they have discovered everything in the future !!
Ooooooookaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, I'm no talking to _you_ anymore! There's no help for you.
@@r0bw00d ....I know the truth hurts ....sorry ! But fantasy is good.
What are you talking about? I'm not the one hurting here. You know what? Never mind; you're helpless.
Made during the mid-80's apex of the "save the whales" fad and Hollywood's lame attempt at mass social engineering for their Californian hysterics.
Stop uploading videos with terrible sound. It is rude
Klingon and Russian ships are the best in the Universe
I know, right? That Bird of Prey's database even had extensive information on extinct species from Earth!
Well I think the bird of prey had all that info because in between Star Trek 3 and 4 a few months had past and they were doing work on the ship including adding their database to it
We'd best not ask where they got that Earth specific database from, the Enterprise was destroyed in Star Trek 3 after all. Unless you can believe the Vulcans' records on Earth are *that* extensive. Then again, why not? They'd been dealing with humanity for over 150 years by that point.
I believe God created multitude of planets so I believe something similar to this is possible
