[Series Completion Plan] "Star Trek Six: Future War"

After the last episode of William Shatner’s barren cavity directing, the guide tube of "Star Trek" was finally returned to Leonard Nimoy. As a result, this sixth episode naturally resumed its due rhythm, and the degree of completion was also very high. It can be said that the degree of excitement is not below the first and fourth episodes.

In fact, the most fascinating feature of this episode is not its philosophical or humanistic connotations, but the addition of "suspense". Most of the time it revolves around the bizarre murder of Klingon Speaker Gao Gang and others, and the The various investigations and analyses carried out by the suspect are not inferior to some suspenseful reasoning works.

Of course, in addition to entertainment, this work has not neglected the connotation considerations. The Klingon Empire’s exhaustive mining of minerals caused its satellites to explode, and the ozone layer was severely polluted. The oxygen on the planet Kronos would be exhausted within 50 years. This setting obviously refers directly to the earth in reality. As we all know, the importance of the existence of the ozone layer to the earth is self-evident, and its growing hole is also one of the global environmental problems. At the same time, the film also used the changes in the relationship between the Klingons and the Star Alliance to insinuate the contradictions and wars among nations, nations, and races in the world. Just as the classic line of the new Klingon Speaker (the daughter of the former Speaker Takaoka) implied in the classic line "War is outdated, we are all outdated", although contradictions cannot be eliminated in a short time, peace is always a historical development. The mainstream, at least represents the aspirations of most of us. Interestingly, nineteen days after the film was released, the Soviet Union disintegrated and the Cold War was brought to an end. It was a coincidence.

You can think of "Future War" as a link between the past and the next. On the one hand, its story ended the long-term hostility between the Klingon Empire and the Star Covenant and opened a new era. On the other hand, this movie is also a curtain call for the members of the first generation of Starship. The roles of "Captain Kirk", "Spock" and "Doctor McCoy" have all completed their historical missions. At the end of the film, the main actors in turn signed their names on the big screen, leaving the last memories for the fans of "Star Trek".
