Just last week I cut out the "Look, it's the Enterprise!" scene from the beginning of Star Trek: The Motion Picture for my 2-year-old son. I thought it'd be neat to have just the ship scenes from the movies -- and here they are!
I made the mistake of choosing Star Trek III. "Enterprise, Enterprise, Enterprise goes inside. Enterprise, Enterprise. Enterprise goes outside. Enterprise! OHHHHH NOOOOOOOOO!"
Luckily I stopped the movie right as the bridge was being destroyed. I told him the Enterprise is okay and there was just a small fire.
If you think about it, the ship always gets the short end of the stick in every Star Trek movie. Let's review:
I: New ship has bugs in it.
II: Ship gets the crap beaten out of it by Khan.
III: Ship gets blown up.
IV: There's no Enterprise in this one, except right at the end, but the Klingon Bird-of-Prey crashes into San Francisco Bay.
V: New ship has bugs in it. Again.
VI: Ship gets the crap beaten out of it by Klingons, including taking a torpedo through the saucer section.
Generations: Enterprise-B gets the crap beaten out of it by the Nexus. Enterprise-D...half of it gets blown up, the other half does a crash landing.
First Contact: Ship gets assimilated.
Insurrection: Ship gets the crap beaten out of it by the Son'a.
Nemesis: Ship gets the crap beaten out of it by the Romulan guy, including losing the entire front of the bridge.
Reboot Trek: Ship got the crap beaten out of it by whoever the bad guy was in that movie (I forget).
Into Darkness: Never saw it, but I'm pretty sure the ship got the crap beaten out of it there, too.
I'd hate to be the Enterprises' insurer...
