Special effects will be outdated, good stories and good ideas will not

It’s a movie 30 years ago, and it still has a taste today. Special effects will be outdated, but good stories and good ideas will not. The so-called science fiction is not about the flying of spaceships and the shooting of laser cannons, but how the foundation of science advances and how human thought evolves. The goal of science is to make people's lives more "humanistic" and softer, not more "mechanical" and harder. Get rid of the Cold War, apartheid, and environmental destruction, with more civilized language, more friendly human-computer interaction, and more humane medical solutions. This is the best "fantasy" for the future. In this sense, this is a true science fiction movie, and one of the movies that best fits the original ideas of "Star Trek".
