Captain Kirk's 1. Best Movie Moments.
Everyone remembers Kirk’s classic TV series moments on Star Trek: his battle with the Gorn, his irresistible charm with women, his fighting style (especially when he uses his legs to kick away his enemy and then flip himself back up), and the twinkle in his eye when he says he’s doing one thing, but planning another. What we’re exploring here, however, is big screen Kirk; we’re looking at all of his best moments in the movies, which includes both William Shatner and the new Kirk, Chris Pine. Both actors have embraced Kirk in all of his glory, whether he’s furious, delighted, amused, cocky, or perplexed. He’s a larger- than- life character, which is why there’s an abundance of showy, entertaining Kirk moments on the big screen, whether he’s just beginning his journey into space or nearing its bittersweet end. We’ve narrowed the list down quite a bit; no doubt you’ll let us know which ones we missed. These are Captain Kirk’s 1.
Star Trek is a 2009 American science fiction adventure film directed by J. Abrams and written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. It is the eleventh film in the. The 2009 science fiction adventure film, Star Trek, is a reboot of the Star Trek television series that aired from 1966 to 1969. It features the original.
Best Movie Moments. When he asks Sybok to help him cross the barrier in the Enterprise, Kirk knows it’s time to step up. He almost raises his hand, as if he’s in a classroom.“What does God need with a starship?” he asks. Mc. Coy is appalled. Kirk pushes it, raising his finger up. It’s the same thing everyone in the audience is thinking, and he says it exactly the way we would, for the win.
We all know how much Shatner’s Kirk regretted his promotion, and want to shout out, “Don’t do it!” but it was a pretty safe bet that he’d change his mind. He did. He did. At the end of the movie, Kirk is back with Commodore Paris, and the ordeal he’s been through, instead of adding to his voyage fatigue, has rejuvenated him.
He knows why he matters, and why Starfleet matters, and the idea of sitting at a desk on a space station has lost its appeal. When Paris offers him the position, he gets a familiar Kirk- twinkle in his eye. She admits that they don’t. Bring it on. 1. 4. The main story line of the this one may be that Earth is in danger of being destroyed and needs extinct whales to save it, but once the crew travels back to the 1. When Dr. Gillian Taylor is perplexed by Kirk and Spock. She thinks about it, and her curiosity gets the best of her.
She relents. They go back and forth with their yesses and nos in a bit of an old school comedy routine, and then Kirk takes command.“Yes. I love Italian and so do you.” Spock accepts the order, and gives his final answer to the question that mystified him so. Marcus beams his daughter back from the Enterprise, to get her out of harm’s way, and that’s when Kirk realizes the rest of the crew is in for it. There’s the fun Kirk, who likes to take risks and make wisecracks and handle himself in a bit of a reckless way, but here he reminds us that he’s more than that. Romance Films Macbeth (2015). He steps up to the heavy burden of command, and tells Admiral Marcus that he and he alone is responsible for the actions of his crew. He tells Marcus he will do anything he wants if he lets the crew live.
He means every word. Marcus isn’t having it. But if it’s any consolation, I was never going to spare your crew.”Bad, bad news. Fortunately, Scotty steps in and saves them all, but it was still a hell of a gesture from Kirk, and there’s no question he would have followed through.
Kirk Admits He Hates Klingons. One of the central philosophies in Star Trek is that it takes place in a world where humans have already worked out our differences, united as a planet, wiped out hunger and poverty, and have learned to embrace diversity in all of its combinations. So it’s a brave moment for Kirk in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country when he admits to Spock that he harbors deep anger against the entire Klingon race. He’s tasked with a diplomatic mission that will put them on his ship and make him responsible for their safety, thanks to Spock’s interference, and it’s the last thing he wants to do. He’s furious with Spock for setting the whole thing up.“How could you vouch for me?” he asks. Download Superman Lives (2015) Online here.
Shatner plays it beautifully, knowing he’s not supposed to think what he does, knowing he thinks it anyway, and aware that he still has one final mission to carry out. In the end, Kirk and crew save the Klingons after all, or at least the right ones, and find closure in their very last movie together as a united group, but it was a struggle to get there, and this conversation shows us that the tactical challenges were no less difficult than the internal ones, and can be mirrored in all of us. Kirk Dies. In an homage to Spock’s legendary death scene in The Wrath of Khan, the Kelvin universe Star Trek: Into Darkness explores the question “What if Kirk had sacrificed himself instead of Spock?” What starts out as a tribute becomes a powerful scene all by itself, as Kirk reveals that he is, after all, afraid of dying. Kirk has been accused of cheating death in both universes, and this time, he knows his luck has run out. Although Spock’s outcry “Khaaaaan!” isn’t as powerful as Shatner’s original, the death of Kirk is every bit as moving and tearjerking as the movie to which it is a tribute. Captain Harriman hardly seems like the best man to take on the legacy, and not only because he’s played by Alan Ruck of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
As Harriman struggles, Kirk squirms and twitches, paralyzed by the conflict of wanting to take over and knowing he’s not supposed to. At this point, it’s still being played for laughs.
Kirk Pretends He’s Not Going To Steal The Enterprise. This is a short scene but a good one from The Search for Spock. Kirk has determined two important facts: one, the Genesis planet may be the place that can save Spock’s body; and two, his consciousness (katra) lives on in Dr. He brings this information to Admiral Morrow, Commander of Starfleet, who has already told him that the Enterprise is to be decommissioned, and asks to take it out for one last go. Morrow is clear: only the science team is allowed on Genesis, and the ship is not in shape for another journey. There’s a moment here that’s pure James Kirk, when he realizes that he’s not going to change the Admiral’s mind. You can almost see the cogs in his brain turning as he shifts his tone.
A minute later Kirk meets up with Sulu and Chekov, who want to know if he had any luck getting his ship back.“The word, sir?” Sulu asks. Kirk Wears His Glasses In Front Of Khan And Saavik. Five minutes earlier, Kirk didn’t even know Khan was still alive, let alone that he’d been harboring a vendetta for decades, waiting for his chance at revenge. Now Khan has fired on the Enterprise before they could get their shields up, and they’ve been crippled. He wants all the data on Genesis, or he’ll destroy them.
Kirk asks for more time, and Khan ungenerously gives him sixty seconds. Damn. But Kirk, as always, has a plan up his sneaky little sleeve.
He has to put on a bit of a show, since Khan can see him through the viewscreen, but as he leans over a panel he explains his real strategy to Saavik and crew: he’s finding the prefix code that will give him control of Reliant, the Federation ship Khan has stolen. And in the midst of danger and cleverness and secret plans, what does our brave Captain do?
He takes out a delicate, little pair of reading glasses and perches them on the end of his nose. He squints through them, finds the right code, and punches them in. Reliant’s shields go down, and the Enterprise fires. He’s saved the ship again, thanks to some by- the- book knowledge and a pair of granny glasses. Kirk Saves Jaylah.
Jaylah? And jump, he does. Star Trek Beyond was a lot of fun, but one of its less credible choices included Kirk finding a working motorcyle on an abandoned ship. Still, it came in handy, when it was time to rescue the crew. Kirk provided a distraction by combining it with Jaylah’s technology to make it look like there were multiple Kirks on multiple motorcycles, and the crew got away safely. In the end, Jaylah was left to face the man who’d killed her father, and it looked like her worst fears were coming true.
