Electric Snapshot: Star Trek - the Motion Picture (1979)

ATTACK OF THE KLINGON BATTLE GROUP

Absolutely the best moment in the movie. Everything about it is perfect. Epic in scale, the visuals give that vital impression of hardware weight in the vast slowness of space. Stir in the superb Goldsmith music with the brilliant design and you've got a classic sequence in a movie that is awe inspiring and disappointing in equal measure. It also proves that a bit of super glue, reams of fibre optics and sticky back plastic has more gravitas than any amount of CGI super doodling will ever have. A truly great special effect experience.

  1. Alright, you're sort of forgiven.

    Glad the laptop is working again.
