This famous line in the "Star Trek" series actually originated from a brochure issued by the White House in 1957 after the first satellite of the Soviet Union was launched. It can be regarded as a summary of the spiritual core of this classic film and television series: if "Star Wars" is a contemporary mythical story in which the light defeats the darkness and the prince wins the princess, then "Star Trek" is to expand the territory and explore the unknown. The cowboy spirit of the American West is combined with the space age. The former is a closed legend of a family, so if you shoot outside of the six parts, you can only find another protagonist to make a rumor, while the voyage of the latter can continue indefinitely and never ends.
That being said, after all, the old version of "Star Trek" is still outdated. If you want to bring the old legend to new life, you must change. In fact, in recent years, Hollywood superhero movies have been looking for changes. New Direction. So we saw the free and sloppy iron man image of "Iron Man", the gloomy tangled image of Batman in "Black Knight", and the retro style of "Watchmen"—almost all such blockbusters are trying Dig into the hearts of heroes and add some deep thoughts. But in this regard, no one is smarter and understands better than JJ Abrams. He is not a fan of Star Trek (according to the degree of infatuation, they are generally divided into three ranks: trek fan, trekker and trekkie), and he is also I don't want to use superhero movies to compete with "Citizen Kane" like Nolan. The new version of "Star Trek" is just a good-looking science fiction film, lively and compact, can not only meet the pursuit of ordinary audiences to watch science fiction blockbusters, but also allow star fans to relive their old dreams and ignite new hope. Said to be a prequel, in fact, this film brings "Star Trek" back to a starting point, and the whole story actually takes place in another parallel universe. In this way, even if there is any plot conflict between this movie and the first 10 movies-such as the future Captain Spock, who has never appeared in the old version of the movie-it is totally fine. This also means that from the beginning of the film, the Enterprise can start a new journey, and the future of "Star Trek" is completely free to create.
Probably from this perspective, the Abrams version of "Star Trek" is not so much an adventure legend as it is a growth story. Obviously this can attract a large number of young audiences, and it is easier for ordinary audiences to understand the ins and outs of the characters. In fact, no matter in terms of plot, connotation, special effects, or action scenes, there is nothing surprising about this film, no innovation, no very unique expression, but the best part is that Abrams can combine everything. It's just right-except for some male viewers to complain that there are no beauties in the film. Seeing actors, apart from the unrecognizable Eric Barna and Winona Ryder, there are no big stars at all. There are only a group of actors that often appear in American TV dramas, which saves money and is convenient; watching the plot, it is still Abra. Ms’s old routine is like a TV show, a climax in 10 minutes, a lively period in 15 minutes, fast-paced, far beyond the average blockbuster; watching the special effects, in fact, there is no drama comparable to "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith" 》The gorgeous and exciting space battle in the first ten minutes, but fortunately it was arranged properly, and there was no cold spot; for fun, some of the little humor in it was very colorful, and the accent of the Russian boy could not help you not laugh...
good-looking and interesting , Detailed and lively, "Star Trek" is a summer blockbuster that you can hardly fault. But in the bottom of my heart, there is still a kind of regret: after reading it, I found that I didn't want to watch it again and again. I can’t even remember which scene is a classic, and it’s worth repeating. In a word, I didn’t experience a feeling in this film, the kind of excitement when I first saw "Star Wars", and I first came into contact with "The Ring". The shock of "The King". Maybe I have passed that age, but I still hope that a certain film can take me onto a spaceship, sailing to another world, to the future.
