I really love this sequence. Despite clearly being a big budget Hollywood film, it also really comes off like it could have been an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Not just due to the uniform and set designs being the same as from the show, but also from the camera placement, the musical cues, the way they handle the phaser fight, everything. 0:51 is the most TNG moment ever; that could have easily been from an episode. This was also a fascinating Star Trek movie for me. Because it's the only film in the franchise that does that. Every other film has different uniforms, sets, and even actors. This film, and especially this scene and most of the first act, really feels like a really well shot episode of the show it's based off of. I know many people see that as a criticism, but I love that.
It's kind of weird though because some people have the new uniforms and others still have the old uniforms from the show. Like in this scene, Riker has the new uniform but pretty much everyone else is still using the old one.
I love how space and the ships look in this movie. The cold blue lighting with each shot emphasising how detailed and massive these ships are makes Generations one of my favorites in terms of visualization.
Wouldn’t happen in real life. That movie where they had the joystick was lot more realistic. That’s what you’d use to maneuver the ship in a situation like that. I fly an aircraft and programming the Flight Management System is a lot like this. The pilot not flying does the programming, then asks the pilot flying to confirm the data. Once it’s confirmed the pilot flying says “execute” and with the push of a button the plane changes course automatically. But in a situation where there is busy terminal airspace and you get a last minute change in runways or are off on radar vectors... there’s no time to reprogram it and mistakes are very likely. You need to either hand fly the aircraft or resort to basic lateral and vertical autopilot modes like heading and vertical speed.
It was like that because the set was built for televison cameras, so there would be imperfections visible on movie cameras. This was the reason the Enterprise-D was destroyed at the end of the movie, so that a new set could be built.

@@Joesolo13 I mean.......maybe you need to review your physics, a bit? No, not "everything " is slower than the speed of light. Those reletavistic laws you refer to, state that nothing can travel *through space* faster than c (the speed of light). There are no restrictions to date on how fast space itself can move. Within the Event Horizon of an idealized non-rotating black hole, for example, space is falling towards the singularity faster faster than c, hence any spacecraft that could hypothetically survive falling through the Event Horizon would need to move FASTER than the speed of light to escape (> warp 1). Heck, even space within the universe itself expanded superluminaly after the start of the big bang, per theory. Anyway, plenty of black holes in the universe, so no not "everything." Oh, and next time try a bit of humility when posting rather than going with a condescending, snarky reply. That tends to keep one from looking like an ass of a nominee for the year's Dunning-Kruger award.
@@Bartonovich52 @Bartonovich52 Nope, I've known this forever. I am just glad there was some thought behind the script here, unlike in J. J. Abrams' masterpiece, where the enterprise is going at maximum warp, to escape *outside* the badly depicted Event Horizon of a black hole: ua-cam.com/video/0jdL8b011GM/v-deo.html
Joesolo13 umm actually no, the laws of physics and Einstein equations show that it is impossible for anything to travel at the speed of light. You can get as close to it as possible but never reach it. There’s an asymptote there
Part of the hate was the waste of the "Kirk and Picard" plot element (only being brief moments of interaction and cooperation at the end of the film), ignorance of the episode "Relics" (Scotty sees Kirk die here, but somehow forgot that when Enterprise hauls him out of the Jenolan's pattern buffer; admittedly, this is because his role was originally written with SPOCK in mind), and generally a lot of people dissatisfied with how the Battle of Veridian III played out (shields or no, a Galaxy-class starship should have walked all over a Klingon bird of prey, especially an old one, and I'm convinced they went with a BoP because of stock footage and budget demands). Or, at least, these are the issues I personally have with Generations, despite loving the film as a whole.
The movie has its moments, but overall, it's a terribly depressing film that shoves Captain Kirk into the TNG mix for no good reason -- well, maybe for ticket sales. I guess it could have worked. But Kirk's death was so underwhelming and, in many ways, unnecessary. The same could be said about the Enterprise-D. Knocked out by a Bird of Prey, huh? The Duras sisters, really? Indeed, this movie is so morose. So sad. There's no fun. Adventure. While Data and his emotion chip bring a few laughs, I think people want to see Data be Data, not this clownish-like figure. We want to see Picard be Picard, not crying all the time and getting his ass kicked in the end.
Just Chris It was the first time the emotion chip had been fully installed into his circuitry... and became fused in place... He was overcome by the rush of emotions and let fear get the better of him.
@@LordKane773 If I directed the movie, I probably would add a lot more bird of preys. I dunno what I would do to the story, I'll need more time to think about it
Be prepared for a long paragraph, bc this will be my personal view on how the story should have gone... Basically we open the movie in the same way, with the christening of the enterprise-b. Still include the Nexus and the transport ships, but have the Enterprise-b get absorbed by the Nexus instead of escaping whilst being damaged in the process, then change the line where Riker says "that was the mission where James Kirk was killed." to "that was the mission where the Enterprise-b was destroyed, All Hands lost." Then the Enterprise-d encounters the Nexus, still keeping in mind that it has the that thing where the life signs on the transport ships were phasing in and out of our space time continuum. We'll have Data say something like, "I am reading extreme temporal anomalies coming from the energy ribbon, sir." But what's this? Through some technobabble or whatever, the Enterprise-b re-emerges. So now everyone's confused, however in that time the captain of the Enterprise-b was wounded or something. On a side note, tbh Idk what would happen but we'll say that James T Kirk in some form or another is in command. Boom, you have the perfect opportunity to see both captains work together. But for the villain? Don't make it Soren, still have that character wanting to reach the Nexus and all but let that be a side plucked instead of him being the main bad guy. Instead, make it the Duras Sisters. Bc when you think about it, this was around the same time DS9 Was preparing for a Dominion invasion, and we also know at this point thanks to some Exposition from Deep Space Nine General Martok is a changeling. So what if they're coerced by the changeling with the promise of seizing the empire by force, and considering they're probably still a major family that even after the events of the Klingon Civil War they would probably still have some connections in the Klingon High Council, so then they gather up a small Fleet that can easily outmatch the Enterprise-b, but is somewhat equal to a Galaxy class. So at this point in, it's pretty much a larger scale version of the scene from the episode the way of the warrior, where the defiant fly's in and rescues dukat's ship. But this time say there's a bajoran freighter in the sector, then essentially a brief standoff happens and not too long after a few lines of dialogue exchange between the two captains (exchanging strategies if you will) and a little bit of reasoning, an all-out fire fight breaks out. Resulting in the actual destruction of the Enterprise-b and not too long after the battle because of the explosion from the other Enterprise's warp-core breach, the Enterprise-d is forced to make a crash landing on a nearby planet. So you still got to get the original ending from Generations, but at least you have Kirk (after ordering the remaining crew to the Escape pods of course) goes down in a blaze of glory. So not only does it give Kirk a satisfying death, it also ties into the dominions invasion of the alpha quadrant. Other than that (unless any of you guys think otherwise), that's the way I think this movie should have been handled.
@@goodday2die15 I..Cant think of anything that is that good, so BRAVO!! But what would I do?

yea I remember rushing to the movie to watch this I was so excited and yea the hole look of it was super cool I think that did a fantastic job on the setup on this movie and the uniforms and makeup spot on.
Mate I've literally thought this everytime I've watched every modern star trek show. Absolutely no consideration to tactical placement for survival against unnecessary plot drama.
You would think the helmsman would have positioned the Enterprise facing away from the shock wave knowing that the order to go to warp could come at the last possible moment, instead of having to turn away before engaging.
@@baneblackguard584 Starfleet officers are trained and expected to show initiative, aren't they? With the Captain preoccupied with the rescue attempt, and the first officer off the ship, I would think the best way for a young Ensign to gain some respect from his seniors would be to position the ship such that it has the observatory between it and the shockwave, as far away as the transporter's safe working limit with a course laid in ready to hit the button to engage as soon as the observatory is destroyed or the Captain gives the order.
no it wasn't. Every organisation around the world has a period of changing from one to another, the same way money transitions gradually. Can you imagine $1 changing appearance suddenly on one day to another? Impractical. Get real. Get a sense of intellect or intelligence or at least some practicality.

@@rollerbladinggeek5507 given the fact that the enterprise is full of replacators, surely getting a new style uniform is as easy as asking for one. Or maybe Riker and Data are the only two of the senior staff with replacators.
@@artemiscool67 Ta, it's an odd triggering comment. I should have just said that Paramount were presumably saving money and using costumes from TNG and DS9 wardrobe departments... But, I'm far to stupid to connect those dots
@@solidshake12 Actually, come to think of it, you make a good point as well. Perhaps it'd be impractical by today's standard, but in the TNG universe they technically SHOULD be able to get that done rather quickly.
Great effects and kick-ass music by McCarthy. I recently bought the expanded version of his score, partially because this piece wasn’t on the original.
I've forgotten how here too in the movies we see the inept job performance of Worf as Chief Security Dude. Once again, he watches on as someone is beamed away at 2:09.
Has/ Did anyone notice there was a new bank of computer stations to the right of the Captains Ready Room? that were not there in the original 7 Season run
Picard looks a little happy when he says “Warp 1 engage.” I’d understand if was like warp 5 or even 6...not 1. 😆...that’s like saying “Ensign, go 45 miles per hour, nothing faster.”
Warp 1 is faster than anything in normal space can travel, so it's plenty fast to escape the shockwave and they didn't have anywhere in particular to go yet other than 'away'.
I’m glad Geordi restored the original bridge in Picard - but I love that they reused the Yesterday’s Enterprise bridge with proper lighting for the movie.
You would think the Enterprise would have emergency warp buttons so the helmsman doesn't press the wrong buttons one day during a really panicky situation like the one we just witnessed.
Man the astrophysics of this sequence makes no sense... How is the star ceasing to shine? Even if you stop fusion there's a ton of heat left to radiate away... and what is that shockwave propagating through? Collapsing a star doesn't make its matter go away... it's gravity will still be there... I mean this is a fun movie but someone should have put some thought into this trilithium weapon thing.
and to think if they actually had a security team ready to go instead of having to spend half their time traveling to the ship they could have had a half dozen guys on there, light soran up, grab their guy and been back on the Enterprise before worf and riker would have even made it to the transporter room. But then there really wouldn't be too much of a movie at that point
I imagine it's because warp one is the fastest spool up time for the engine, for lack of a better term. Less energy buildup, quicker warp field generation. Might be the difference between .5 seconds and .75 or 1 second, but still a difference. Just my theory on it.
Generations did a great job at demonstrating how large a galaxy class ship was. Picard likely ordered minimal warp speed because it would take the least time to engage. Its not ever mentioned but I imagine larger ships suffer from a delay when trying to engage maximum warp, probably due to increased power demands. Warp 1 is the bare minimum and requires the least energy.
This is a cool sequence from an otherwise lackluster movie. The refreshed Enterprise D looks awesome on the big screen.....really wish they would have figured out a way to get Kirk on the ship for a few scenes, also wish they would have saved the destruction of the D for First Contact, would have been more appropriate going down against the Borg in an effort to save Earth!
MightyVoice The problem with saving the destruction of D for First Contact is that they were in a time when Earth was a pre-warp society. If any worthwhile chunks of the ship survived, the technology could have altered history. First Contact hadn’t been penned by the point this movie was in production... and while Generations may have been a little lackluster compared to some of the previous movies, they wanted to make sure it was going to be a memorable film. Plus it meant they could decommission the bridge set after so many years of use. To keep on using it would seem like the ship wasn’t getting any more advanced, despite the introductions of newer and better ships. It meant that they could redesign the look of the bridge set in order to keep things fresh in future movies.
@@BYERE You bring up some good points, I still think deciding to have the Ent-D taken down by a single old Klingon bird of prey was a lame send-off for a ship we spent 7 years with. How much more memorable would it have been for Kirk to have gone down with the Ent-D in some heroic effort to save the rest of the crew? As far as First Contact, maybe the Ent-D gets destroyed as the only way to get the crew back to present time, sacrificing itself for the crew, or if it is destroyed in the past, maybe some small parts are recovered by Cochran and it helps Earth jump ahead a bit technologically....that'd be a heck of a homage to the Enterprise line to know that it helped jump-start the whole thing!
@@BennyT_3434 I'd have hated it if Kirk went down with the Ent-D as a big hero. He's already a huge glory-hog, watching him steal Picard's thunder in his own damn movie would have sucked. And I mean, this isn't just any bird-of-prey. It's the Duras Sisters, recurring villains in the series, historic traitors to the Empire, master manipulators of the odds. If it was some new-blood loser, I'd agree, but it was a villain we already knew and loved. And yeah, like, I love Generations. The ship and crew in gorgeous cinematic lighting and camerawork. The big setpieces like Data leveling up to "emotions mode", the fight with the Duras sisters, a member of Guinan's long-endangered race coming into things, and of course the meeting of captain and captain. It's a great end-cap to a goofy yet lovable series. Sidenote, everyone complains that "all Picard and Kirk do together is cook breakfast and ride horses", but isn't that kinda perfect? Like isn't that part of what makes Star Trek so lovable, that its principal characters are doing things that we would, and having big character moments around mundane things? I dunno, I think the expectation for anything else is weird. And it's not like they ONLY do that, like they save the day together, don't they?
@@swishfish8858 you've got some well articulated points there. I suppose the way the Ent-D went down is consistent with storylines from throughout the 7 seasons....which is that the Ent-D is supposed to be this ship of peace that is also armed to the teeth if need be, but oh yeah, it's warp core will breach if u sneeze on it, lol I think Kirk getting killed while going down with the Ent-D would have been good symmetry given the way the movie started with him on the Ent-B....at least figure out a better way for him to die than getting crushed by a bridge in a fight with a villain we've never heard okay, haha. Also kind of a bummer Picard was nowhere near the Ent-D during her last stand I think there were diminishing returns on the Ent-E compared to how the Ent-D looked on screen....there was just something so glamorous about how the Ent-D looked on the big screen compared to the E.....maybe it's the CGI, I dunno
At the end of First Contact the difficulty of travelling through time at will was hand-waved and the crew simply rode off into the sunset to the 24th century. A more fitting end for the Enterprise D would have been for it to crash into Earth at the end of that film after making the jump forward in time by the skin of its teeth. It would also have been slightly more chilling to see the D partially assimilated after coming to know her so well. With the E, in Picard's words, we barely knew her.
Just happened along and want to point out one error. Picard and Troi are in his room on the Enterprise and see the sun go bad before going up to the bridge. Only thing in real life they would not have seen it. The bridge would yes since they have advanced sensors, but the star would look normal for several minuets after it went bad. Here on earth if the sun went out or blew up we would not know for 8 minuets because of how fast/slow light travels. The shockwave would almost already be at the ship and station before anything could be done. They would have no time to get Data and Laforge, they would have to save the ship and warp out right then.
An interesting thought is the shockwave wsd 4:33 seconds away. Gravity and light travel at the same speed. Which means they were almost 5 light minutes from this star. Earth is 8 light minutes from our own star. Venus is 6 light minutes from the sun and mercury closest at 3.3 LM. The array would be roughly closer than Venus. However. If the sun were to blow up, as this star did, we would not have any sign or awareness until this shockwave hit. Because the shockwave of gravity would hit at the same as the light stopping. Still really cool.
If I were helm all the relevant commands for warp 1 would already be entered with my hand hovering over that final input. Beep beep beep beep go. Wrong! Beep Go. Correct.
I love how majestic the Big D was in Generations. And to this day annoys me that their reason for blowing it up was they didn't think it was good enough for the movies. Don't get me wrong, I love the E. Adore the E even. But the D deserved better.
I was just born this morning....but during an emergency, instead of crew members running to the transport room....Can't they do a sight to sight transport to save time
If, in the time it takes for them to go to the transporter room and beam over, the situation will become worse because of those one or two extra minutes, then it was already a lost cause. Although, under the circumstances, as neither the ship nor the facility had their shields up, site-to-site would have been a good idea, given that Riker's team only consisted of himself and Worf.
The ship isn't being extended, it's space around the ship being stretched. "Warped", if you will. The ship is basically standing still while space is bent around it, making it appear to move.
Meanwhile Geordie had started a level 4 diagnostic of the warp core without informing anyone. Star-fleet never did work out what happened to the Enterprise nor all it’s kindergarten children.
Han Solo - "I fly my OWN ship, with just one co-pilot to assist me." Capt. Picard - "I have a whole CREW of suck-ups and soi-bois (like Wesley) to do all of the ordinary work for me, so I can sit in this fancy chair and drink tea all day."
What bugs me about this sequence is that if you know anything about the LCARS layout on the helm console, the square used to execute the command is actually like a browser tab to select Warp Drive operations, as opposed to Impulse , it's not a commit button. No, i don't know what would have been the appropriate Enter key here, but that bugs me, its like they just picked it because it was big and obvious. Although... the 2nd to last panel touched is the "LCARS Mode Select" so perhaps it was that the course was entered and then it was just "select which drive to use to proceed on course"? Eh, it bothers me...
The way the Enterprise's bridge looks in this film is how it should have looked since season 1. I grew up watching reruns of the original Star Trek and when STTNG first came out I was really underwhelemed by how the bridge looked. Five aft workstations, Tactical, Con, and Ops and that was it. I get that it was due to budget limits, but come on, that excuse only goes so far after season 4. They could have done it so that in-between episodes or even between seasons, the D goes in for an upgrade or refit, next episode, you've got all these new stations on the port and stargoard sides of the bridge. Cripes, the end of TBOBW part 2 was the perfect setup point to do this.
I know its for dramatic effect but the 4 or 5 button presses before the final "GO" button, if I was the helmsman, I'd have had that already go to with my fingers ready for Picard as soon as he said ENGAGE. Not gonna play around until the last second to do the warp sequence. haha
Can't deny how awesome that escape warp sequenced look.
Oh 100%!! Of all my fave warp jumps... this is right up there!

“Go that way! No, the OTHER W--“
For a minding-fucking tactic,...I know way too many guys who would shout out the exact same thing too.
The most important call for Warp 1 that has ever occurred in the history of Starfleet.
The reason might be that warp 1 engages more quickly than a higher speed.
Not counting the call for warp one that was ultimately responsible for the foundation of Starfleet, of course.
Probably because warp one is enough to leave the shockwave behind, but not too much that they can't figure out where the other ship went
Warp one, Starfleet's first gear and floor it

Part of the hate was the waste of the "Kirk and Picard" plot element (only being brief moments of interaction and cooperation at the end of the film), ignorance of the episode "Relics" (Scotty sees Kirk die here, but somehow forgot that when Enterprise hauls him out of the Jenolan's pattern buffer; admittedly, this is because his role was originally written with SPOCK in mind), and generally a lot of people dissatisfied with how the Battle of Veridian III played out (shields or no, a Galaxy-class starship should have walked all over a Klingon bird of prey, especially an old one, and I'm convinced they went with a BoP because of stock footage and budget demands). Or, at least, these are the issues I personally have with Generations, despite loving the film as a whole.
@@trisar2146 fair enough and well articulated
The movie has its moments, but overall, it's a terribly depressing film that shoves Captain Kirk into the TNG mix for no good reason -- well, maybe for ticket sales. I guess it could have worked. But Kirk's death was so underwhelming and, in many ways, unnecessary. The same could be said about the Enterprise-D. Knocked out by a Bird of Prey, huh? The Duras sisters, really? Indeed, this movie is so morose. So sad. There's no fun. Adventure. While Data and his emotion chip bring a few laughs, I think people want to see Data be Data, not this clownish-like figure. We want to see Picard be Picard, not crying all the time and getting his ass kicked in the end.
The one time data’s emotion chip screwed him
Just Chris It was the first time the emotion chip had been fully installed into his circuitry... and became fused in place... He was overcome by the rush of emotions and let fear get the better of him.
What about when the Borg Queen turned it on... and then turned Data on?
Man I wish we had at least a couple more movies with the refitted Enterprise-D
They could of at least destroyed the enterprise in a better way in this movie
@@Oceanic2409 yeah like the saucer crash was cool but how we got there, in short the enterprise-d died with a whimper.
@@LordKane773 If I directed the movie, I probably would add a lot more bird of preys.
I dunno what I would do to the story, I'll need more time to think about it
Be prepared for a long paragraph, bc this will be my personal view on how the story should have gone...
Basically we open the movie in the same way, with the christening of the enterprise-b. Still include the Nexus and the transport ships, but have the Enterprise-b get absorbed by the Nexus instead of escaping whilst being damaged in the process, then change the line where Riker says "that was the mission where James Kirk was killed." to "that was the mission where the Enterprise-b was destroyed, All Hands lost." Then the Enterprise-d encounters the Nexus, still keeping in mind that it has the that thing where the life signs on the transport ships were phasing in and out of our space time continuum. We'll have Data say something like, "I am reading extreme temporal anomalies coming from the energy ribbon, sir." But what's this? Through some technobabble or whatever, the Enterprise-b re-emerges. So now everyone's confused, however in that time the captain of the Enterprise-b was wounded or something. On a side note, tbh Idk what would happen but we'll say that James T Kirk in some form or another is in command. Boom, you have the perfect opportunity to see both captains work together. But for the villain? Don't make it Soren, still have that character wanting to reach the Nexus and all but let that be a side plucked instead of him being the main bad guy. Instead, make it the Duras Sisters. Bc when you think about it, this was around the same time DS9 Was preparing for a Dominion invasion, and we also know at this point thanks to some Exposition from Deep Space Nine General Martok is a changeling. So what if they're coerced by the changeling with the promise of seizing the empire by force, and considering they're probably still a major family that even after the events of the Klingon Civil War they would probably still have some connections in the Klingon High Council, so then they gather up a small Fleet that can easily outmatch the Enterprise-b, but is somewhat equal to a Galaxy class. So at this point in, it's pretty much a larger scale version of the scene from the episode the way of the warrior, where the defiant fly's in and rescues dukat's ship. But this time say there's a bajoran freighter in the sector, then essentially a brief standoff happens and not too long after a few lines of dialogue exchange between the two captains (exchanging strategies if you will) and a little bit of reasoning, an all-out fire fight breaks out. Resulting in the actual destruction of the Enterprise-b and not too long after the battle because of the explosion from the other Enterprise's warp-core breach, the Enterprise-d is forced to make a crash landing on a nearby planet. So you still got to get the original ending from Generations, but at least you have Kirk (after ordering the remaining crew to the Escape pods of course) goes down in a blaze of glory. So not only does it give Kirk a satisfying death, it also ties into the dominions invasion of the alpha quadrant. Other than that (unless any of you guys think otherwise), that's the way I think this movie should have been handled.
@@goodday2die15 I..Cant think of anything that is that good, so
BRAVO!!
But what would I do?
Same Intro
Enterprise B suffer minimal damage, while at the cost of the captain, not kirk
Worf promoted
Amigosa attacked but enterprise d arrives in time to find romulans.
Trilithium is taken by Duras
Trilithium was Actually a Federation experiment
Soran is eager to get it back
Nexus arrives, and the romulans are trapped
Enterprise D has a choice(Save the Romulans or Stop the Duras sisters)
Saves romulans, but the enterprise is sent into the nexus due to romulan engine core causing some temporal problem
The crew choose to go back to stop Duras's
they do
Klingon reinforcements arrive
All out space battle
The duras Sisters fire a trilithium torpedo at the sun(after all but one trilithium torpedo is beam off by the enterprise)
Enterprise stops it while also destroying the last Bird of prey
Enterprise heavily damaged
Saucer sep(although the saucer has many holes)
The enterprise crew crash-lands on a planet
The Crew is saved, the trilithium is saved, some major planet is saved and the Romulans are saved. The Enterprise D isn't.

yea I remember rushing to the movie to watch this I was so excited and yea the hole look of it was super cool I think that did a fantastic job on the setup on this movie and the uniforms and makeup spot on.
Surely the Enterprise should have been waiting facing away and set to drift away, so they can A get their guys and B jump to warp quicker...
Mate I've literally thought this everytime I've watched every modern star trek show. Absolutely no consideration to tactical placement for survival against unnecessary plot drama.
You'd think so, wouldn't you?
Rule of cool always seems to outweigh logic in sci-fi.
@@RobsonRoverRepair hate to break it to you but this is hardly modern star trek
To be really controversial, they could have set the jump up to be ready and needing only a single button push!
You would think the helmsman would have positioned the Enterprise facing away from the shock wave knowing that the order to go to warp could come at the last possible moment, instead of having to turn away before engaging.
but.. that doenst 'look cool' on screen :P
If we are going by original series rules the turn shouldn't have been required, the original Enterprise was capable of warp speed in reverse.
not without the order to do so. he might have asked if the Captain wanted him to do so but he wouldn't just do it.
@@baneblackguard584 Starfleet officers are trained and expected to show initiative, aren't they? With the Captain preoccupied with the rescue attempt, and the first officer off the ship, I would think the best way for a young Ensign to gain some respect from his seniors would be to position the ship such that it has the observatory between it and the shockwave, as far away as the transporter's safe working limit with a course laid in ready to hit the button to engage as soon as the observatory is destroyed or the Captain gives the order.
The mix of TNG and DS9 uniforms in this film was odd
no it wasn't. Every organisation around the world has a period of changing from one to another, the same way money transitions gradually. Can you imagine $1 changing appearance suddenly on one day to another? Impractical. Get real. Get a sense of intellect or intelligence or at least some practicality.
@@rollerbladinggeek5507 I don't understand why someone can't just make their point without a snide comment or insult. I actually agree with you, but calling his/her intellect or intelligence into question wasn't necessary (you could've easily stopped after the word 'impractical').
@@rollerbladinggeek5507 given the fact that the enterprise is full of replacators, surely getting a new style uniform is as easy as asking for one. Or maybe Riker and Data are the only two of the senior staff with replacators.

I would have screetched 'helm warp what ever the f outta here' in that situation 😪
You, me and...Tarantino;-)
I've forgotten how here too in the movies we see the inept job performance of Worf as Chief Security Dude. Once again, he watches on as someone is beamed away at 2:09.
Has/ Did anyone notice there was a new bank of computer stations to the right of the Captains Ready Room? that were not there in the original 7 Season run
4.40 they problerly wouldnt have even had time to get to the transporter room in that time lol
Picard looks a little happy when he says “Warp 1 engage.” I’d understand if was like warp 5 or even 6...not 1. 😆...that’s like saying “Ensign, go 45 miles per hour, nothing faster.”
Warp 1 is faster than anything in normal space can travel, so it's plenty fast to escape the shockwave and they didn't have anywhere in particular to go yet other than 'away'.
They are engaging warp drive in a solar system, which has grave dangers. Limiting to just warp 1 minimizes adverse issues.
All I can think about when I watch this is Richard Christy interviewing Engage Guy at the Star Trek convention lmao
u would think the helm would have pointed the ship in the correct direction while they waited
Love the updated d bridge
I’m glad Geordi restored the original bridge in Picard - but I love that they reused the Yesterday’s Enterprise bridge with proper lighting for the movie.
If you notice, you can see in the beginning they still used the set of the future enterprise from the last TNG episode, with the raised floor.

in your OPINION.
@@rollerbladinggeek5507 Why do you feel the need to point that out?
OptimusShr why do you feel the need to point that out?
Welp, warp 1, engage or you're fired.
You would think the Enterprise would have emergency warp buttons so the helmsman doesn't press the wrong buttons one day during a really panicky situation like the one we just witnessed.
It does. Technical reference manual II
Man the astrophysics of this sequence makes no sense... How is the star ceasing to shine? Even if you stop fusion there's a ton of heat left to radiate away... and what is that shockwave propagating through? Collapsing a star doesn't make its matter go away... it's gravity will still be there... I mean this is a fun movie but someone should have put some thought into this trilithium weapon thing.
“How long before the shockwave hits the observatory?”
“4:40 seconds”
“Number one”
“Mr Warf!”
“aye sir,”
and to think if they actually had a security team ready to go instead of having to spend half their time traveling to the ship they could have had a half dozen guys on there, light soran up, grab their guy and been back on the Enterprise before worf and riker would have even made it to the transporter room. But then there really wouldn't be too much of a movie at that point
“Emergency site-to-site transport?”
“No, it’s a lovely morning, let’s walk”
It’s almost liked we watched the same video!
Wow, I didn’t realize that that happened. What else happens in this video?
Winnie the Boogaloo A lot could be solved in this series if there was just one military mind in the entire federation.
I love that once the shockwave passes the camera after destroying the station, it's not a sphere. You can't see the far edges od the shockwave.
What better way to look cool and not afraid of the biggest explosion possible than to run away from it at the lowest possible warp speed?
I imagine it's because warp one is the fastest spool up time for the engine, for lack of a better term. Less energy buildup, quicker warp field generation. Might be the difference between .5 seconds and .75 or 1 second, but still a difference.
Just my theory on it.
Lowest warp speed necessary.
@@suma4m But Warp 1 is just barely superluminal, making it so you won't outrun it,you'd just ride the wave rather than getting away
knightshousegames
Warp 1 is THE SPEED OF LIGHT...
Light is faster than the shockwave which should be limited to subliminal speed.
That ship was going nowhere without that point to engage.
Good thing the ship got away in time
Generations did a great job at demonstrating how large a galaxy class ship was. Picard likely ordered minimal warp speed because it would take the least time to engage. Its not ever mentioned but I imagine larger ships suffer from a delay when trying to engage maximum warp, probably due to increased power demands. Warp 1 is the bare minimum and requires the least energy.
OMG! Third! Never in my life have I been so honored!
WARP ONE, ENGAGE!
I do love this movie. 😊
is the actor that said a klingon bird-of-prey is decloaking, the same actor from the DC series Arrow?
No
This is a cool sequence from an otherwise lackluster movie. The refreshed Enterprise D looks awesome on the big screen.....really wish they would have figured out a way to get Kirk on the ship for a few scenes, also wish they would have saved the destruction of the D for First Contact, would have been more appropriate going down against the Borg in an effort to save Earth!
MightyVoice The problem with saving the destruction of D for First Contact is that they were in a time when Earth was a pre-warp society. If any worthwhile chunks of the ship survived, the technology could have altered history.
First Contact hadn’t been penned by the point this movie was in production... and while Generations may have been a little lackluster compared to some of the previous movies, they wanted to make sure it was going to be a memorable film. Plus it meant they could decommission the bridge set after so many years of use. To keep on using it would seem like the ship wasn’t getting any more advanced, despite the introductions of newer and better ships. It meant that they could redesign the look of the bridge set in order to keep things fresh in future movies.
@@BYERE You bring up some good points, I still think deciding to have the Ent-D taken down by a single old Klingon bird of prey was a lame send-off for a ship we spent 7 years with. How much more memorable would it have been for Kirk to have gone down with the Ent-D in some heroic effort to save the rest of the crew?
As far as First Contact, maybe the Ent-D gets destroyed as the only way to get the crew back to present time, sacrificing itself for the crew, or if it is destroyed in the past, maybe some small parts are recovered by Cochran and it helps Earth jump ahead a bit technologically....that'd be a heck of a homage to the Enterprise line to know that it helped jump-start the whole thing!
@@BennyT_3434 I'd have hated it if Kirk went down with the Ent-D as a big hero. He's already a huge glory-hog, watching him steal Picard's thunder in his own damn movie would have sucked. And I mean, this isn't just any bird-of-prey. It's the Duras Sisters, recurring villains in the series, historic traitors to the Empire, master manipulators of the odds. If it was some new-blood loser, I'd agree, but it was a villain we already knew and loved.
And yeah, like, I love Generations. The ship and crew in gorgeous cinematic lighting and camerawork. The big setpieces like Data leveling up to "emotions mode", the fight with the Duras sisters, a member of Guinan's long-endangered race coming into things, and of course the meeting of captain and captain. It's a great end-cap to a goofy yet lovable series.
Sidenote, everyone complains that "all Picard and Kirk do together is cook breakfast and ride horses", but isn't that kinda perfect? Like isn't that part of what makes Star Trek so lovable, that its principal characters are doing things that we would, and having big character moments around mundane things? I dunno, I think the expectation for anything else is weird. And it's not like they ONLY do that, like they save the day together, don't they?
@@swishfish8858 you've got some well articulated points there. I suppose the way the Ent-D went down is consistent with storylines from throughout the 7 seasons....which is that the Ent-D is supposed to be this ship of peace that is also armed to the teeth if need be, but oh yeah, it's warp core will breach if u sneeze on it, lol
I think Kirk getting killed while going down with the Ent-D would have been good symmetry given the way the movie started with him on the Ent-B....at least figure out a better way for him to die than getting crushed by a bridge in a fight with a villain we've never heard okay, haha. Also kind of a bummer Picard was nowhere near the Ent-D during her last stand
I think there were diminishing returns on the Ent-E compared to how the Ent-D looked on screen....there was just something so glamorous about how the Ent-D looked on the big screen compared to the E.....maybe it's the CGI, I dunno
At the end of First Contact the difficulty of travelling through time at will was hand-waved and the crew simply rode off into the sunset to the 24th century. A more fitting end for the Enterprise D would have been for it to crash into Earth at the end of that film after making the jump forward in time by the skin of its teeth. It would also have been slightly more chilling to see the D partially assimilated after coming to know her so well. With the E, in Picard's words, we barely knew her.
Just happened along and want to point out one error. Picard and Troi are in his room on the Enterprise and see the sun go bad before going up to the bridge. Only thing in real life they would not have seen it. The bridge would yes since they have advanced sensors, but the star would look normal for several minuets after it went bad. Here on earth if the sun went out or blew up we would not know for 8 minuets because of how fast/slow light travels. The shockwave would almost already be at the ship and station before anything could be done. They would have no time to get Data and Laforge, they would have to save the ship and warp out right then.
An interesting thought is the shockwave wsd 4:33 seconds away. Gravity and light travel at the same speed. Which means they were almost 5 light minutes from this star. Earth is 8 light minutes from our own star. Venus is 6 light minutes from the sun and mercury closest at 3.3 LM. The array would be roughly closer than Venus. However. If the sun were to blow up, as this star did, we would not have any sign or awareness until this shockwave hit. Because the shockwave of gravity would hit at the same as the light stopping. Still really cool.
If I were helm all the relevant commands for warp 1 would already be entered with my hand hovering over that final input.
Beep beep beep beep go. Wrong!
Beep Go. Correct.

I agree.
If the enterprise d had to be destroyed, it deserved a better send off than a bird of Prey with a defective plasma coil.

If, in the time it takes for them to go to the transporter room and beam over, the situation will become worse because of those one or two extra minutes, then it was already a lost cause.

Best warp command in the history of star trek.
Wonderful work of script display
If they cancel the warp in the middle of the ship being extended, will it retain its longer shape? Do the passengers get stretched out, too?
The ship isn't being extended, it's space around the ship being stretched. "Warped", if you will. The ship is basically standing still while space is bent around it, making it appear to move.
Her Last own warp Flight for over 30 years
Meanwhile Geordie had started a level 4 diagnostic of the warp core without informing anyone. Star-fleet never did work out what happened to the Enterprise nor all it’s kindergarten children.
Han Solo - "I fly my OWN ship, with just one co-pilot to assist me."
Capt. Picard - "I have a whole CREW of suck-ups and soi-bois (like Wesley) to do all of the ordinary work for me, so I can sit in this fancy chair and drink tea all day."
Could the helmsman have inputted the order any slower?
Ya gotta admire Jae's flair for dramatic timing.
Kinda wish we had this bridge set for Picard season 3 instead of the original
What bugs me about this sequence is that if you know anything about the LCARS layout on the helm console, the square used to execute the command is actually like a browser tab to select Warp Drive operations, as opposed to Impulse , it's not a commit button. No, i don't know what would have been the appropriate Enter key here, but that bugs me, its like they just picked it because it was big and obvious.
Although... the 2nd to last panel touched is the "LCARS Mode Select" so perhaps it was that the course was entered and then it was just "select which drive to use to proceed on course"? Eh, it bothers me...
Man i always thought they just pushed random buttons i had no idea some buttons on the lcars had a purpose lol
Wouldn’t they need to be going at least warp 2 to stay ahead of the shock wave since it travels at the speed of light, and warp 1 = light speed?
Helmsman didnt think to, you know, get the ship pointing in the right direction before the last moment? 😂
This movie is better than critics say it is. It isn't the best, but it isn't the worst either.
Alright Captain, Full Impulse.
ENGAGE
Helm warp 1 engage? What if he spilled coffee on the board at the last second?
Riker and Picard are wearing two different styles of uniform.
The way the Enterprise's bridge looks in this film is how it should have looked since season 1.
I grew up watching reruns of the original Star Trek and when STTNG first came out I was really underwhelemed by how the bridge looked.
Five aft workstations, Tactical, Con, and Ops and that was it.
I get that it was due to budget limits, but come on, that excuse only goes so far after season 4.
They could have done it so that in-between episodes or even between seasons, the D goes in for an upgrade or refit, next episode, you've got all these new stations on the port and stargoard sides of the bridge.
Cripes, the end of TBOBW part 2 was the perfect setup point to do this.
I totally agree, this refit bridge should have been introduced in season 4!
So, with warp drive, could the Enterprise travel just as fast in reverse?
