gone where no other has gone before if

perfect then that’s the way it showed me
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down the top 10 Star Trek
movie moments just to be clear we’re
focusing on the standout scenes that
were not only unique but raised the
stakes and were instantly iconic I’ve
heard you and I wish to go on her – yeah
number 10 meeting God Star Trek 5 the
final frontier you go seek proof yeah
you don’t ask the almighty Thor’s I
kicking off our list is the moment that
epitomized kurtz need for pain I don’t
want my pain taken away I need my pain
arriving on the god planet at the center
of the galaxy Kirk and company meet what
appears to be the Almighty only to
overhear that it needs a ride leave it
to Kirk to point out the elephant in the
room
excuse me it will carry my power to
every corner of creator excuse me I’d
just like to ask a question
what does God need with a starship
number nine crash-landing Star Trek
generations there are plenty of ships
that blow up in Star Trek but it’s rare
to see a starship albeit half of a
starship crash land on a planet here the
enterprise-d is forced to make a
harrowing and spectacular landing an
unforgettable scene it’s an awesome sign
off to the ship that we love throughout
the next generation series proving that
even in space
you should always buckle up
number eight Vulcan rescue mission Star
Trek with a Romulan mining ship from an
alternate future attacking Vulcan the
enterprise arrives late seriously
outgunned and unable to use its
transporters as a result Kirk Sulu and a
red shirt decide to attempt an
atmospheric skydive to shut down the
drill good luck
this adrenalin pumping scene led to one
heck of a nod to the original series
while the unexpected destruction of
Vulcan no doubt caused a few vans to
implode number seven the cloth warbird
Star Trek six the undiscovered country
if there’s one constant in the Star Trek
universe is that a Klingon bird-of-prey
cannot fire while cloaked well Q
everyone’s surprised when a rogue
Klingon general uses a ship to prevent
the enterprise and the excelsior from
saving a peace summit the result is a
harrowing one-sided space fight that’s
only resolved when Kirk fires a special
cloak seeking torpedo hyah
Shakespeare can’t help you now to be
number six battle with the Borg Star
Trek first contact this is easily the
franchise’s most sweeping space battle
yet here humanity’s most terrifying
enemy arrives at earth causing the
entire Federation to give the cube
everything they’ve got while their
battle comes across as hopeless and Worf
gets a chance to gleefully attempt to
sacrifice his own ship prepare for
ramming speed
Picard arrives and saves the day in the
nick of time sea Picard’s calm demeanor
it’s just a ruse that dude is seriously
pissed No number five 1980s San
Francisco Star Trek for the voyage home
don’t mess on you time travel is often
used in the franchise but this time it
was all about the fish-out-of-water
comedy ironically the wayward crew went
back to the 1980s to find a whale in
order to satisfy a destructive alien
probe shenanigans ensue including Chekov
unsuccessfully asking for directions
it’s better they keep the nuclear door
whistles and Spock neck pinching a
street punk
number four Mutara nebula and the death
of Spock Star Trek to the Wrath of Khan
in what is widely regarded as the
greatest Trek film ever Kirk and his
crew faced off against Khan’s captured
ship in the Mutara nebula a blind
showdown it ultimately ends with the
damaged Enterprise coming out on top
fire
however when Khan decides to use the
Genesis device to kill them all
Spock sacrifices himself to save the day
but this romantic sacrifice is only the
second biggest tearjerker of the
franchise oh we shall be your friend
number three self-destruct Star Trek 3
the search for Spock code zero zero zero
destruct
sure of all the ways the starship has
ended its run nothing has been as
emotionally draining or visually
gratifying as Kirk sacrificing his one
true love
next to Spock here Kirk set the original
enterprise to self-destruct before
beaming to the planet below as an
alternative to surrendering to the
Klingons that had killed his son
you’re not a die-hard fan unless you get
a little bit choked up seeing the old
girl go
number two final farewell
Star Trek six the undiscovered country
captain I have orders from Starfleet
Command where to put back to space dock
immediately to be decommissioned if
there’s one thing sadder than seeing any
of the characters or ships meet their
end it’s this scene which ended the
original casts 25-year run here the crew
is ordered to return to base and be
decommissioned you can feel the emotion
as even the actors knew that their time
was up having earned that dignified
send-off they decide to take the ship
for one last ride before hanging up
their uniforms captain’s log stardate 95
29.1 this is the final cruise of the
Starship Enterprise
under my command this ship and her
history will shortly become the care of
another crew to them and their posterity
will we commit our future they will
continue the voyage as we have begun and
journey to all the undiscovered
countries boldly going where no man
where no one
has gone before
number one Kirk’s yell Star Trek – the
Wrath of Khan taking the top spot on our
list is the most famous and certainly
the most mimetic Star Trek moment ever
this one came from Kirk losing the upper
hand and realizing that he had been
bested by his arch nemesis who took
great pleasure leaving Kirk stranded on
a barren moon without the possibility of
rescue all things considered Kirk takes
the news pretty well agree with our list
