Cinematic Parallels
Star Trek: First Contact (1996) & X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
Some more sweet flybys of the Enterprise E from First Contact
First Contact battle
I just love all the ship classes here. Not only do you get the tasty new designs of Sovereign, Akira, Steamrunner, Saber, and Norway, but you also get some continuity from the Defiant, Miranda, and Nebula classes also there. DS9 really over-used the Excelsior, so it is kind of nice not to see it here.
I tell you, seeing this scene for the first time in theaters was more nerd-gasming than the reveal of Darth Maul’s double-bladed lightsaber.
You?
I remember watching this in theatres thinking “We’re just jumping right in are we? I pity those who are going into this movie blindly”
Someone needs to do a comparison between this shot and the one from Days of Future Past

I love how First Contact is unapologetic about “If you don’t watch Star Trek, TNG, DS9 and VOY this movie isn’t for you” And you just jump right in.
