The Maiden Voyage

After reading it, he immediately gave it five stars without hesitation. As for the good things, I don’t want to spend any more words. The plot is compact and the pictures are gorgeous. Of course, there is another reason I have to say: familiar characters, familiar uniforms, familiar spaceships, familiar gestures and familiar ones. The words returned to the screen again. At that time, they were just a group of fresh-spirited young people, preparing to use the maiden voyage of USS Enterprise to compose the first youthful and dangerously gorgeous movement. This is enough to make every "Star Trek" diehard sigh with emotion and full of emotions.

If you haven't heard of "Star Trek" before, please read the following passage first and then sigh consciously.

Star Trek is the name of the item collection, which refers to the 6-generation sci-fi TV series (726 episodes in total), 11 movies, 591 novels, all set in the same fictional universe since the 1960s, 515 comics, 122 games and many other fan works.

Although the plot of this film is compact and winning, please allow me to use a Spock-style vision to pick a little thorn: It is a bit unclear how Uhura and Spock had emotional explanations. The first sign is that Uhura followed Spock into the elevator and started kissing Spock while comforting Spock, who had just lost his mother. There may be three reasons: first, Uhura has been admiring Spock for a long time; second, Uhura and Spock had a relationship before, and the movie did not explain at all; third, Uhura just wanted to really comfort Spock at first, but the two accidentally happened. emotion. What the hell is it? God knows~

Another interesting detail: Uhura’s roomie is the woman with green skin and curly hair who tried to make love with our beloved Captain Kirk before Uhura came back. It turned out to be Rachel Nichols, also known as "GI Joe". Scarlett, the redhead in the room.

A conversation between Spock and his father and the conversation between Spock, an old and a young, at the end of the film are particularly classics, excerpted for the diehards to observe:

Sarek (Spock's father): Speak your mind, Spock.
Spock: That would be unwise.
Sarek: What is necessary is never unwise.
Spock: I am conflicted as I once was as a child.
Sarek: You will always be a child of two worlds. I am grateful for this, and for you.
Spock: I feel anger for the one who took Mother's life, an anger I cannot control.
Sarek: I believe that she would say, "Do not try to." You asked me once why I married your mother. I married her because I loved her.


[Spock notices an elder Vulcan walking in the docking bay]
Young Spock: Father...
[the elder Vulcan turns and is revealed as Spock Prime]
Spock Prime: I am not our father.
[Young Spock, now recognizing who he is, approaches]
Spock Prime: There are so few Vulcans left. We cannot afford to ignore each other.
Young Spock: Then why did you send Kirk aboard, when you alone could have explained the truth?
Spock Prime: Because you needed each other. I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together, of a friendship that will define you both in ways you cannot yet realize.
Young Spock: How did you persuade him to keep your secret?
Spock Prime: He inferred that universe-ending paradoxes would ensue should he break his promise...
Young Spock: You lied?
Spock Prime: Ah... I-I implied.
Young Spock: A gamble.
Spock Prime: An act of faith. One I hope that you'll repeat in the future in Starfleet.
Young Spock: In the face of extinction, it is only logical that I resign my Starfleet commission and help rebuild our race...
Spock Prime: And yet, you can be in two places at once. I urge you to remain in Starfleet. I have already located a suitable planet on which to establish a Vulcan colony. Spock, in this case, do yourself a favor: Put aside logic. Do what feels right.
[Spock Prime turns and leaves]
Spock Prime: Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving, I shall simply say...
[Shows Vulcan hand salute]
Spock Prime: Good luck.

Star Trek quotes

  • George Kirk: What are we gonna call him?

    Winona Kirk: We could name him after your father.

    George Kirk: Tiberius? You kidding me? No, that's the worst. Let's name him after your dad. Let's call him Jim.

    Winona Kirk: Jim. OK, Jim it is.

    George Kirk: Sweetheart, can you hear me?

    Winona Kirk: I hear you.

    George Kirk: I love you so much. I love you...

  • Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Permission to speak freely, sir?

    Spock: I welcome it.

    Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Do you? OK, then. Are you out of your Vulcan mind? Are you making a logical choice, sending Kirk away? Probably. But, the right one? You know, back home we have a saying: "If you're gonna ride in the Kentucky Derby, you don't leave your prize stallion in the stable."

    Spock: A curious metaphor, doctor, as a stallion must first be broken before it can reach its potential.

    Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: My God, man, you could at least ACT like it was a hard decision.

    Spock: I intend to assist in the effort to reestablish communication with Starfleet. However, if crew morale is better served by my roaming the halls weeping, I will gladly defer to your medical expertise. Excuse me.

    Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: [as Spock leaves] Green-blooded hobgoblin.
