“This? It took the Starfleet Corps of Engineers ten months in space suits to tunnel out all this. What we did in there, we did in a day.” - Carol Marcus, “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan”. Project Genesis was a theoretical process to terraform dead planets by means of a genetic explosion that would reduce the surface of a planet to its elementary particles.

The Genesis cave was one of the most memorable scenes in Star Trek movies. This one was difficult to create. The waterfalls were very tricky, given the limited assets available. Special effects included a moving stream, sunbeams, and steam. The Genesis Device was created from sci-fi parts. There is an apple in the scene, and if you don’t know why, you are not a Star Trek fan.
