[Series Completion Plan] "Star Trek IV: Rescue the Future"

It’s said that the fourth part of "Star Trek" is the best-looking in the entire series. Before I have watched the next few parts, I still dare not jump to conclusions, but at least among the first four parts, this episode "Rescue the Future" "It is indeed the most outstanding work. If in the first three parts, the choreographer was still groping between "art" and "commercial", then in the fourth part they finally found a balance point-in this episode, as in the first part The humanistic connotation also has a tense and wonderful "traversal" plot. I don't forget to make a little humorous and romantic. All kinds of elements come together, and they are quite coordinated and smooth. Even now it seems quite interesting.

In the 23rd century, an alien probe came to the sky above the earth, sending out a signal similar to the "song" of a whale, requesting a dialogue with the humpback whale. But at that time, the humpback whale on the earth was extinct, so how can alien visitors give up? , The world suddenly changed and the earth was in danger, so Captain Kirk could only lead his crew to travel to the end of the 20th century to seek help. First of all, the "humpback whale" alone admires the scriptwriter’s whimsical ideas, which not only arouses the interest of the audience, but also brings out the theme of environmental protection. Who would have thought that the survival of the earth would be tied to a kind of animal. Secondly, the plot of "traversing" is the icing on the cake, allowing these space elites from more than two hundred years later to have a close contact with humans at the time. The process is unpredictable and sometimes jokes. When it comes, a beautiful doctor will be brought with you. Back to the future. In the end, the earth successfully escaped. Although it did not explain the real intention of the alien probe (is it just to talk to the whale? This is a bit perfunctory), but it basically does not hinder the overall situation and can be regarded as a common appreciation.

Here is another digression. In 1988, at an international conference held by the world’s Nobel Prize winners in Paris, Dr. Hannes Alvin, a scientist from Sweden, suggested that if humans want to survive, they must go back to the twenty-five centuries ago and learn from Confucius. wisdom. This allusion must be familiar to everyone. Its authenticity is still controversial, and the subsequent crazy spread may also be blindly promoted. But aside from this, it is still advisable to use past philosophies and thinking to solve current or future problems. The way. Putting it another way, what we do now will also have a profound impact on the future. As the so-called "one drink, one peck", it also means "sustainable development." Traveling back to the past is only in the movie after all. If there are really aliens coming to the earth to chat with giant pandas or Siberian tigers, otherwise it will destroy the earth. We may indeed have no face to face future generations.

    Hey, time travel! The interstellar series of shots are very straightforward, even if it is a sci-fi film, the details of the time and space jump are very direct, and it is also good to warp and fly. My favorite is! This detector is actually sent by the same kind of humpback whale! Can kill all human technology! This setting loves to indirectly promote environmental protection, forgive me for not being able to look directly into the whale's eyes T_T. . . Ah ~ such a lovely piece ~ watching sci-fi movies can only ignore bugs and IQ
