yeah it has some good ones. one thing i didn't get though, these shuttles and mines at the end of the video, where did they come from? i mean they sorta jumped back or forth in time warping in the sun or something and suddenly they all got these powerful mines aligned behind that moon. nah anyway, was a nice vid. scenes with actors were taken from new voyages I guess?

Woah Matress likes! I was gonna say that maybe Bethesda should employ the guy that made that...but then I thought I wouldn't wish that fate on anyone. :lol: :lol: :lol:

The mines and shuttles were laid out by the big E half way through the battle - they repeat it again later but the Daedalus lures the Planet Killer into it instead. Where exactly those mines came from isn't explained, but Scotty must've thrown them together as part of Kirk's plan. I actually thought the Shuttles and Mines were some sort of station when I first saw them because the camera was too far away to make out what the 'structure' was!

The one thing that I don't understand is how on earth the Enterprise managed to fly through the Guardian of Forever - it was only just big enough for Kirk to walk through in all the images of it that i've seen... :?

Definitely cool CGI though. THAT'S how Trek should be. Spacebattles are 3D not 2D and ships should be able to do loops and twists like that! Enterprise, the Dominion War and the TNG Episode With The Galaxy-X Version Of The Big E Destroying A Klingon Cruiser From Below With Its' 'Phaser Canon' After It Uncloaked are the only times in Trek that I can remember the battle really seeming to be 3D.

the ships should not be able to turn like that, the size of them would make it impossible :D akso the doomsday device did not wiggle it`s tail to get around sorry but that was just stupid, apart from those things though it was pretty good.

I meant they should actually be able to turn Jig - apart from the Defiant and Enterprise, most ships in Trek seem to move like blocks of stone - in that they don't. :roll:

I agree with jig they turn a bit too fast, much like a cartoon bee or something like that, a little more gravity and impulse effect should be palpable for the watcher. Something in between stones and bees would be nice ;).
