From the current point of view, it is difficult to say that this movie has the potential to become a legend: the
plot setting is sci-fi, but it is far from wonderful. The movie is 2 hours long, and it can be said that the pace is quite slow. Nebula is actually a probe launched by the earth that has been modified to give life to it. The setting is good, but why does he think he is called V'ger because of the dust on the nameplate? Without context, the Klingons, especially the few cannon fodder ships in the opening scene, seemed unnecessary.
The performance of the actor is known from the movie and the nominations for the award: there is no nomination of the actor. The performance of the actors is more like a drama, powerful but unnatural. The performances of many idol starlets look natural and vivid than the performances of the actors in the film. Captain Kirk was okay with a small smile at the corner of his mouth to make trouble.
Once the biggest highlight should be the special effects of the film. After all, the time is too long, and the special effects of the works closer to the present are still quite real and shocking, but as early as 1979? Those special effects that are said to be shocking and award-winning today seem to be unmatched even by Ultraman. In the film, I like to use a long lens to shoot from one end of the spaceship to the other. It must have been a bunker at the time, but now no director would spend a few minutes on the surface of a Lego toy (I find it strange, Even for movies with dazzling special effects such as Transformers, when presenting giant spaceships and other behemoths, they only use shots of up to tens of seconds instead of using such long and slow shots as in Star Trek 1. Is it because everyone’s demand for rhythm has become faster?)
Even if there are so many shortcomings that seem to be present, I can still imagine the uncles (children at that time are now uncles) when they first saw such a "masterpiece" for the first time (like even though they do not fan Star Wars) , I can still remember the shock of the imperial robot at the opening), the excitement brought by the familiar theme song. This is the legend that belongs to that era, engraved into the culture of that era. Maybe one day our offspring will make the same complaints when they see the current Lord of the Rings or Transformers, hoping that the development of time and technology will bring them more joy.
