Insurrection Teaser

[c0rnedfr0g]

I was watching the teaser for Insurrection,

and noticed that at 1:27-1:28 is a brief shot of 3 Fed ships shooting from FC. Has anyone else noticed this? Why did they include this? To make it seem more exciting?

Why did they include this? To make it seem more exciting?

Yes. Most of the visual effects probably weren't done by then anyway.

You'll note that a lot of the battle scenes in the teaser for "First Contact" are taken from Voyager and TNG as well, for similar reasons.

They included several clips from television episodes of TNG in the Generations trailer with the unmistakable intention of misleading fans as to what the story was about.

Shots such as the old-style Miranda-class ship emerging from the past in the episode that had Kelsey Grammar guest-starring as the captain-out-of-time at the end were spliced amoung real Generations scenes.

Taken out of context, it looked quite obviously as if the film had Kirk and Picard's time-frames merging in some capacity, rather than Kirk being fished out of the Nexus and running around on a sand planet.

The marketing guys evidently knew the real film had failed to capitalise on the much-awaited meeting of the two with its envisioned scenario.

I wish they'd stuck to their original idea for Generations: The ENT-D and ENT-A do battle.

Better an old, outdated Enterprise take out the D than an outdated BOP.

Still, imagine the fandom meltdown if Kirk destroyed the ENT-D.

Maybe they could have compromised... the Ent-A shoots down the Ent-D, but Kirk dies when a console on the bridge explodes in a shower of sparks and plastic rocks.

There were lots of shots from FC in the INS trailer, including Picard's "fire" line when they attacked the sphere.

GEN, FC and INS all used recycled footage in their teasers. I can understand using f/x shots from other movies as "stand ins" for the unfinished visuals, but why the hell do they think it's okay to use scenes from completely different movies? That always bothered me.
