The opening scene of Star Trek: The Motion Picture is one of the coolest and eerie sequences in the franchise’s history that pits the newly designed Klingons against an unstoppable entity hidden in a massive cloud of energy. The three K’t’inga-class warships slowly advance upon the entity as their theme music swells. Known for shooting first and asking questions later–if at all–the Klingons power up their weapons and fire at their mysterious target, but their firepower proves useless. After absorbing their torpedos, the entity unleashes a plasma field that disintegrates all three vessels.
