[Series Completion Project] "Star Trek Seven: Star Trek"

The "Star Trek" series has finally ushered in an update. Although the older generations are classic characters that are worth remembering, after a long period of time, they are a bit tired. New actors and new roles bring freshness at the same time. Perhaps it can also inject new vitality into this series.

We can find a lot of familiar faces among the new actors in this film. The most famous one is Patrick Stewart (Professor X), and Malcolm McDowell (in "A Clockwork Orange") Alex), Ubi Goldberg (Delores in "Nuns Are Crazy"), Glenn Moshor (general agents in military and science fiction films), and Janet Go De Stein (John Connor's adoptive mother in "Terminator 2") and so on.

The focus of this work is an energy zone called "Nexus". People who enter this energy zone will have a beautiful illusion, and they are not bound by time, which is quite reluctant to think about it. However, the film is vague about the mechanism of how to get in and out of the "time gathering", which leads to a somewhat blunt logical feeling. For example, at the end of the film, Captain Picard wakes up Captain Kirk and persuades him to deal with the postdoctoral Su Lun together. The two of them easily escaped from the "Shihui" and returned to the critical moment before the explosion of Weixing. How to break away, and how to return to such a precise point in time, seems to lack persuasiveness for a relatively rigorous science fiction film. But apart from this, the bridge section where the two captains teamed up to defeat the enemy is quite inherited and quite exciting. In the end, Kirk made a heroic sacrifice, and the old captain embodied his lifelong pursuit in this way.

The humanity of this film lies in how to control emotions. The direct part is expressed through the various changes and reactions after the artificial human "data" is implanted into the emotional chip, while the indirect part is derived from the section of the "time gathering". stretch. People are animals with memories and imaginations, so we will have various emotional experiences about sadness, joy and anger. Once we are immersed in a certain emotion, we will be confused by man-made illusions, just like in "time As in "The Meeting", you can never take the next step, and your life will stop there. Therefore, it is very necessary to learn to control one's emotions. Even if it fails to reach the state of "not to be happy with things but not to sad for oneself," one can still maintain a good mentality as much as possible.

Star Trek: Generations quotes

  • Picard: Guinan, can I leave the Nexus?

    Guinan: Where would you go?

    Picard: I don't understand.

    Guinan: Well, as I said, time has no meaning here. So if you leave, you can go anywhere, any time.

    Picard: All right, I know exactly where I want to go. To the mountaintop on Veridian III just before Soran destroyed the star. I have to stop him, but I need help. Now, if you were to come back with me, together...

    Guinan: I can't leave. I'm there already, remember? But I bet I know someone who can. And from his point of view, he just got here, too.

    Picard: [cut to him approaching a cabin in the woods and seeing someone chopping wood] Kirk. James T. Kirk.

  • Kirk: Come on in. It's all right; it's my house. At least it used to be. I sold it years ago.

    Picard: I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship... Enterprise.

    Kirk: The clock.

    [going to a clock on a mantelpiece]

    Kirk: I gave this clock to Bones.

    Picard: I'm from what you would consider the future, the 24th century.

    Kirk: [hearing a bark and seeing a dog in the doorway] Butler!

    [petting him]

    Kirk: Butler. How can you be here? He's been dead seven years.

    Antonia: [off-screen] Come on, Jim. I'm starving. How long are you gonna be rattling around in that kitchen?

    Kirk: Antonia. What are you talking about? The future? This is the past. This is nine years ago.

    [opening a box and taking out a gold horseshoe]

    Kirk: The day I told her I was going back to Starfleet.

    [going to the kitchen]

    Kirk: These are Ktarian eggs, her favorite. I was preparing them to soften the blow.

    Picard: I know how real this must seem to you, but it's not. This isn't really your house. We are, both of us, caught up in some kind of temporal nexus.

    Kirk: [cracking the eggs into a skillet] Dill.

    Picard: I beg your pardon?

    Kirk: Dill weed. In the cabinet, second shelf to the left. Behind the oregano.
