Apart from the odd dialogue, I've another inconsistency.
Whent hey depart, Saavik asks for the course and Kirk says "Captains disgression." But later on, he tells Sulu "Warp 5." And Sulus responds with "So much for the training session."
These two don't match up really...

Beyond that, great work, I really love it.
Thanks
But why don't match this, in case we forget all what we know about ST TWOK.
Enterprise leaving spacedock with a starfleet academy crew on a training course. There is no direct order to the heading. Kirk only give the order to warp speed and Sulu affirmed the training cruise. I think this could match with a little bit of imagination.
Well, that's the thing. He said "Captains disgression." but then gives orders himself. That's the first thing, as he's not a/the captain at that time, Spock is.
And second, Sulus line clearly points to something not going the way things should go. Not what he says, the way he says it is important. And the facial expression also accounts to that.

Very cool, I think it needs just a touch more shimmer/wobble/ripple or whatever you choose to call it as it moves when cloaked, like the cloaking field is distorting the light that is seen through it. Really looking forward to this next animation.
I agree in the shimmer, but it als should be somewhat faster. As I recall, cloaking/decloaking is, when the ship's most vulernable, and that's far too long even for cinematical dramatic standarts.
For the cloaking effect, I'd use compositing in AE, with the BoP on a separate layer, giving it some kind of ripple effect, keyframing it's strength, or whatever to 0... that's how I did the cloaking effect in my TNG "Defector" VFX video.

The cloaking effect has 3 layers, background, mask of the BoP, and the BoP himself, the used effect is a blend effect with a moving iris lens. I think this is working good to make the background a little bit blurred. I'll playing with some clomplex wave effects to generate the ripple effect, must be easy to realize.

Seriously, I've been following this on YouTube and if I had half your skill, I'd have it made! Good work, Sir, and am looking forward to seeing how this progresses.
I'd suggest not making the transition from Warp to impulse just as abrubt as the acceleration jump to warp.
If you did it like Star Trek VI where the Camera Pans around as the Enterprise comes out of warp it would feel a bit more graceful. Or as the camera pans the warp streaks disappear and the ship passes and then fires torpedoes moving rapidly on impulse....That might make a pretty intense transition scene.
Inspired of MadKoiFish's thread about the TMP pearl effect, I worked on my setup and made a little test render. It's not easy to get this effect right, there are too many parameter to edit.
It looks very pretty, but at about the 15 second mark, the lens flare from the sun, and the pearlescent effect combine on the right-top of the saucer to make a really odd looking reflection.

Not sure what you're talking about there, viewed it in hi rez and could see any issue at that time. The only thing I can see that it might be is the light glare lens effect coming from the sun, which has nothing to do with the pearlescent effect.
I think he's just saying that the lens glare effect makes it appear as if there is a weird reflection on the hull's surface that isn't there. I noticed the same thing and had to take a second look (yeah, twist my arm) before I realized it was just lens flare from the sun's glow.

Did some tries to the audio, I think this sounds much better
As others have said "It's not of ours" is an odd way of putting it. "It's not one of ours" would be better.
Also, "The information is not clear" is another strange way of putting it. "Sensor readings are unclear"
So, it would go:
Kirk: What do you make of her?
Voice: It's not one of ours. Sensor readings are unclear, but it could be a Klingon ship.
Thanks
I fixed "It' not one of ours" but the others don't work with the voice, it sounds really bad because of the pronunciation but I'll try something.

You mean "Captains' discretion", of course.

Next project is the recreation of the VFX of Star Trek - The Final Frontier
First part the title

(After zooming around the screen capture, I'm even more impressed with the ship than I was.)
This was just a quick render, the lens flares could be optimized
