I grew up with TNG and later but have to admit you're spot on and it's beautiful, Enterprise-D bridge seems like a lounge/living room at times, as did Voyager. I think DS9 did it quite well in Ops but still not as flawless as here to give the feel of really being there.

Such beautiful tranquil moments missing today. Spock's glances as Kirk and then Savik's glance to Kirk as well, WITHOUT SHOWING a cut-away to Kirk's face. Nowadays, the director would cut to Kirk's face which is a condescending way to make sure the audience knows who they're staring at. This way here gives it more impact: They're aware of his presence and power as the highest-ranking officer on deck and a legend, and they're dancing around him with reactions to their own character arc. (Spock is an old friend and having some fun at Kirk's expense/ Savik is nervous and doesn't want to screw up in front of the principal). By not doing a cut-away to Kirk, we're actually more aware of him being there and it adds to the character and tension. It's subtle and adds much... and I'm seeing less and less of it sadly.

As a captain who has pulled such stunts before, throwing a greenhorn the reins in a training situation is great experience. She’s being overseen by a superior officer. In addition he can put her in a perceived pressure situation in front of the admiral without actually having any real consequences for her screwing things up ->good command experience, and a good Captain should want his or her staff to be able to function well under pressure situation in their absence. He lets Sulu plot the course himself too which kind of flys under the radar, not that Sulu is under pressure or a greenhorn, but it highlights how un impactful the training flight is and how the command isn’t there to watch a certain course being plotted, command is there to watch how the operation is performed and how the staff react.

This is the harbinger of doom... it is a final look at the grandeur of the NCC-1701 - the last time we will see her whole - her voyage nearing its end. After this she is a battle scarred "wreck" - her majesty marred by battle with Reliant - and her inevitable demise soon to follow.

I will never ever forget the first time I saw this movie and this part. I was in Junior High(Middle) school in 1982. This sequence went through my head almost every hour of every day. I remember shaking in my seat while watching this movie. It still stands as the most exciting movie I had ever seen in my childhood. I'm a fan for life. Even at the age of 43. :)

For those that were wondering why Kirk was suddenly shaky when Saavik piloted the Enterprise out of the dock. This was a connecting parallel to the hazards of ocean going naval and merchant ships leaving a port or dry dock. In many ports around the world there are often tight clearances, sharp turns to make, and other vessels nearby so the chances of collisions are greater in a port or dock than out in open sea. Some of you have likely seen the KZread videos of ships, within a port or harbor, accidentally ramming docks, tugboats, other ships, or causing other small vessels to capsize as they attempt to leave or come in to dock. Here, even though all Saavik is doing is having Sulu move forward, notice that this space dock has little room on either side of the Enterprise.

Spock said in Movie II, that although he is a good educator and commander, he don't feel like he is able to be a good captain, as he couldn't attach emotionally with his crew. That's one of the reasons, why the Vulcan commanded ships are run 100% by Vulcans, they understand this, but humans wouldn't. And well, he already was working on his new career as a diplomat in and after movie 5, because he has decided to retire from Star Fleet together with the rest of the crew, although he would be only 67 years old then (just to compare: T'Pol of Star Trek was OLDER when she became second in Command in Enterprise, 66 is not a huge age for a species that can reach 250 years of age.) He didn't plan to command after the happenings of the trilogy. (What's interesting of Star Trek is, that ST is in a way the history of Spock (or better said told by Spock), he is the only character who has been from the first pilot until 2389 in duty (as he was after Nemesis the embassador on Romulus again) and even in the newest movie.

One of THE best movie scores ever made, even decades later, and very much my favorite Star Trek movie even since I was a kid

It's unbelievable. The movie is 40 yeears old, but the enterprise still locks good. It does not look old or something. What a great ship.

The attention to detail in this sequence is amazing. The dock working waving as the ship pulls out....the background chatter of the pre-launch checklist. The new ST movies could learn a little from this....

I never get tired of seeing the Enterprise.

I LOVE when Spocks eyebrow goes up he is going to do something. LOL The look of HORROR on Kirks face is priceless! Star Trek 2 will always be the best of the Trek movies and a top five greatest sci fi movies of all time.

the music is AMAZING (goosebumps)

Spoc was such a class act! All these movies give me the fuzzies.

I will always- the way kirk took his napkin and sampled how clean the console was, and scotty's smile of satisfaction was always- humorous. People don't generally think along these lines.

At times in this sequence you can see that Kirk is actually quite pleased with the Cadets. The way Saavik handled the big chair, actually brought a bit of smile to the Admiral's face. Though, I know that part of him was wishing he was sitting in the chair.

Love the preflight checks in the background. So awesome and adds realism!

I never tire of watching this, the ship, the music and how the acting reflects, friendship, knowledge and passing to a younger generation.

39 years later I watched this film and loved it

I really enjoyed the brief moments we see Spock in the chair it really seems like he's more confident & logically giving orders to Sulu without having to give up the seat to Kirk. This is his ship now.

Who says Vulcans have no sense of humor? Spock played a great joke on Admiral Kirk.

2:09; "Would you like a tranquiliser?" So much information on the concerns and feelings of 2 men for the immediate future wrapped up in one short sentence.

"Mr Sulu, you may indulge yourself" I don't think the bridge is the place for that sort of thing Spock.

"Mister" Saavik manages to pull out of the garage without hitting anything.

Mister is the correct naval term for a midshipman. generally, in the forces, you address the rank and not the person and the ranks are genderless. most senior female officers are referred to as "Sir". there are some that insist on being called "Ma'am" or something like that but very rarely especially in the British forces as the term "Ma'am" is used by the Queen (Ma'am rhyming with jam and NOT harm).

After all these years, it still gives me goosebumps.

This film is in my top 3 sci films of all time. The ending is the only time in a film i saw a tear in my dads eyes. Spocks funeral is a masterpiece

@@deltaray3 Because it´s a SHIP with the common specific SHIP-Chain-of-command: Captain gives the orders to the First Officer, who then passes the orders to the (bridge)Crew accordingly and in this case the order was pointed to the HELMSMAN, which is Mr Sulu. That is how it has been done for centuries in REAL life and that´s how it´s done (correctly) in Star Trek. Helmsman is NOT a captain despite he is the supposedly "driving". Helmsman MAY become an "acting" captain only by a given order directly from the Highest Rank Officer on the ship, or in case ALL the other Officers of Higher Rank than the Helmsman himself are DEAD or INCAPABLE of performing their duty.

Seeing this ship always makes me almost cry in awe.

NCC - The art director Matt Jefferies thought of it. It's based on 20th century aircraft registration code. (N used to mean registered to the USA, C stands for civil aircraft. Also because NC was for US crafts and CC CC was for Soviet Crafts, they combined the two.) Also apparently lot of star trek novels and documents say that NCC stands for "Naval Construction Contract". 1701 - 17 stands for the 17th cruiser design and 01 is the serial number.

I'm showing this on the next KickOff meeting for one of my Projects comprised of junior staff & Interns.

A really excellent scene that breathes life into familiar visuals, especially the overwhelming excitement of Captain Kirk and the deadpan offer of a tranquilizer by Dr. McKoy.

Bones just sensing Kirk's blood pressure rising "Would you like a tranquilizer?" Ahh, this movie still holds up fantastically.

Spock: Mr Sulu. You may indulge yourself. Sulu Reaches down. Pulls out a flask of alcohol and some cigarettes.

I love those old uniforms.

2:37 Man, I *LOVE* this score! It's so majestic, perfectly befitting seeing the Enterprise leaving spacedock!

The takeaway from this scene is Spock has a sense of humour...he knows it is stressing out Kirk and McCoy Savik taking out the Enterprise (Sulu is at the helm so it is an odd concern) but he can hide behind his Vulcan logic for the shits n giggles! Love this scene!

The Vulcan humor is, as we have learned in Enterprise, a more subtle one, they like the unexspected, not 100% logical, as it's contradicts their typical experience. And nobody says, that Vulcans don't understand emotions (they have Pon Farr, never to forget), they just don't use them for decision making.

This whole movie was fantastic, but this scene alone is the one that still gives me goosebumps. Every time. That majestic swell, as we see the Enterprise, the pride of Starfleet, leaving Spacedock, ready to explore whatever adventure awaits next. I love the Enterprise D, I love the E, those are excellent designs...but the Constitutional Retrofit Enterprise A is MY Enterprise. This scene was entirely about her, and I loved it immensely. Always will, and I mean, not to mention that Star Trek II was an excellent movie all around. I think the new reboots are still struggling to find the footing that original Trek found in its second movie.

Seems silly today maybe, but my dad was Army and my brother Navy. I used to go out to Fort McPherson-where Leonard Nimoy served his Army service and where his daughter Julie, my sister and younger brother were also born. My sister used to live in Decatur where Deforest Kelley once lived. At North Ga.College, cadets at the back of the campus theatre yelled "airborne" when the Enterprise took off in the movies and those, including non-cadets, yelled "all the way!" For a memorial service to about 6-7 students there omelet week, a bagpipes played "Amazing Grace" on the drill field for them as Scotty played for Spock and a Scottish Rite Oriental Bagpiper also played it for my dad 2 years later. That's why I cried at the end of "ST:4"- for my dad (28 yrs.) and Capt. Spock too.

"Would you like a tranquilizer?" 🤣🤣🤣 If there's one thing that keeps me looking at these classic clips, it's the hopeful vision of the future that Star Trek provides. I need that reassurance quite often these days.

The majesty and glory of these departures from space dock are spectacular!,you can feel the power and pride of the crew!.

Love Kirk's face at 1:54, he's clearly thinking "Awwww, but I wanna do it!"

Kirk Is likely remembering the whole simulator incident and flinching.

1:55 that look on Kirk's face as Saavik is headed towards the captain chair. "But...she's never... my baby!"

The Star Trek uniform is timeless in this era.

Raymond Conlon The problem is they didn't even stay consistent or make sense to the in-universe rules established by the writers. This parallel universe was supposed to be created by the branching off of timelines due to Nero's arrival in the past....but even before those changes, there are marked differences between the stories background information. JJ Abrams basically just created an action movie with some basic words thrown in like "warp drive" and "phasers" and didn't care how it worked as long as there was flashy lights and lots of mindless action. Which, if you take it merely on the context of being a popcorn action flick, it works well enough. But as Star Trek, in any form? No....it's not. And it never will be.

compmanio36 The divergent point isn't Nero's emergence from the black hole, it's as far back as Edith Keeler. Since the Enterprise will not have the same time-travel adventures vs seen in the original series/films, so to will future Starfleet crews have alternate adventures, which will affect the past.

compmanio36 Well, just consider: how can the time-travel adventures of the Kirk Enterprise, Picard Enterprise, Deep Space Nine, Voyager etc occur as we saw them in the Prime timeline following Nero's incursion's? Whether or not they were part of established history or not, they no longer happen now. Soon as that black hole formed in the past, the timeline - past and future - was completely different. Sort of like in the episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" to some extent. It's a bit difficult to wrap your head around, but it explains why Starfleet is so different (USS Kelvin).
