A sci-fi film that is still acclaimed when I can fall asleep

To be honest, the tempo of this film is really slow, so audiences who are used to the fast-paced and compact plot may not adapt to it.
But this has not affected the charm of the movie. The beautiful enterprise full of ultra-modern science and technology, the extremely beautiful, mysterious but full of mysterious and extremely dangerous nebula, and the team members of the enterprise with distinctive personality, Let this film become a classic in science fiction.
By the way, the first time I was suddenly awakened (to be frankly admitted, and dozed off in front), it was when the duplicate female pilot appeared. It was so amazing that she was actually duplicated back after being taken away by the beam. So I immediately came to my spirits and realized that this nebula is definitely not just a natural phenomenon, and the subsequent plot development did not disappoint me. Curiosity and imagination were completely mobilized, and I saw it so heartily!
At the end of the film, it is still memorable. When you imagine "another universe", "another evolutionary form of mankind", "pure logic", etc., people become more and more fascinated by the universe and technology.
I think the film not only creates a magical imagination of technology for the future, but also promotes logic and emotion, and injects spiritual blood into this film. In that era of rapid technological development, I don't know how many young people are affected, making them resolutely devote themselves to science and technology.
In short, the influence of this series of films is too deep, it is a classic, and even a symbol of the times.

    Vulcan master: I sense this consciousness calling to you from space... your human blood is touched by it.

    Vulcan master: You have not yet achieved Kolinahr. He must search elsewhere for his answer. He will not find it with us. Live long and prosper, Spock.
