I really like the fidelity and color choices you've made, like your materials for the ice and a lot of other scene effects. A lot of your "Blink and miss it" changes are nice as well. It brings some potential realism to the opening that was missing from the original.
I'm not sure what you did, but the ship feels like it has some weight to it. Like a large scale studio model and in-house practical effects transposed on top of a composite landscape...Spacescape? A lot of CGI animations I've seen look and feel artificial for a number of reasons (none of which I've been able to overcome myself).
With that in mind, personally, I'd have changed the sense of scale for the scene when Voyager coasts above the planetary rings. Both by scaling the starship down and by expanding the ring system to better reflect the Roche limit. I also noticed you didn't add the engine glow to the particles as Voyager sailed above them. An interesting decision, that.
Other than that nitpicky quibble, it's a fantastic scene-for-scene recreation that's truly spot on.
Just seen this on Facebook posted by someone else..
Man everyone comments on the reflection in the rings lol I think that shot looks gorgeous.... and not having the reflection doesn't make the rings and planet look tiny
I've seen tones of fan made voyager intros and the ship always looks really cg... in those first two shots especially.. you've captured the feel of the studio model brilliantly... I agree that the little touches like the ice are lovely... but all the details like the nebulas in the star fields are really great to... Can we have some desktop images please
Great work.... but surly that's just to be expected Inspiring.... thanks

Just breath taking. I doubt a HD remaster of the original film can look this good.

Would love to have some individual frames in HD for wallpapers if that's possible.
