This got me thinking about how they ended Kirk in ST: Generations and the huge plot hole of how Kirk was hit by just a fraction of that energy ribbon in space and was still inside it like a century later but somehow Soran needs it to pass through a planet in order to stay inside of it or it'll not work or something. He could have flown a shuttle into it and it still comes off as lazy and contrived. I'm still disappointed by that writing.
Because the ribbon blew a hole in the hull first, it didn't completely destroy the ship. The shuttle would blow up after 1 hit, but the question is why doesn't he fly a ship in front of it then just get out in an EVA suit?
For the same reason Zod didn't use the terraforming machine on Mars or another planet in the solar system instead of Earth in Man of Steel. It would make too much sense.
Perhaps they meant to say that no starship could withstand the energy ribbon and by being on the surface of the planet, they were able to enter the fissure? Who knows. That movie was laughable, with the low-budget dune buggies and bazookas. Or was that another movie? :')

All the TNG movies are garbage.

I think that was Nemesis which was far worse. They were looking for the parts of B4 (for fucks sake) on the planet surface.
