That final shot where she rides off into the sunset was so COWBOY I almost teared up, mainly because it really gave new meaning to the phrase "Wagon train to the Stars". Bravo Nicholas Meyer, Bravo!

I emigrated to North America in 1976 when I was four years old. We had a small TV that only picked up a few local stations via antenna. One of those stations played reruns of the original series Star Trek. Within six months of arriving, I was speaking perfect English and had developed a strong interest in science and math. Fast forward and I eventually got a degree in electrical engineering and now live a comfortable life. Thank you Star Trek for inspiring a young mind! :-)

There is a model of the NX01 refit, which would have been seen on the show if it wasn't canceled, where it keeps the saucer of the NX01 and nacelles but adds the lower part of the Enterprise.

I was six years old in 1966 when star trek came on me and my dad would watch it on his portable color TV that was a great time...

As a long time fan of the original series Enterprise, seeing this brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for bringing a dream to life. "Of all the ships I have served on, this is the only one I think of; the only one I miss...." Scotty...Chief Engineer

Still the finest Enterprise design of all. Clean, simple, balanced, practical, and beautiful.

I like this video as it shows the Enterprise undergoing a refit before her historic 5 year mission under the command of Captain James T. Kirk and that they're playing the launch music first from Star Trek:TWOK and then when they get ready to launch they start playing the music when they power up the Enterprise and the Enterprise theme song when she launches from the orbital drydock and they even use the same flybys of the planets like they used in Star Trek:TMP.

Well... That was BRILLIANT. Warmed the cockles o' me cold, dead heart.

To those who watched the 1960's series, the ship looked dated when seeing it in syndication. Over the years, all of these movies have tried to update the look of the the ship. When they tried to remaster the original series, they updated it slightly, but tried not to do too much. They should follow your lead and do the ship justice; make it great the way you have . . . great job!
