The plot can't make up for the delay caused by the special effects due to time constraints

First of all, this drama really has a sense of age, pictures, special effects and so on.

As an audience who has watched a lot of today's advanced special effects technology, there will undoubtedly be a strong sense of disobedience when watching this drama. In addition, there are no era filters, and the plot is particularly important at this time. It is understandable that the technology at that time was not as good as it is now, but only film and television works that can still attract audiences after a long time are good works. The plot of this movie is not that good.

It's almost over, and I don't see what I'm talking about. I went to see the introduction of the story, which is basically not seen in the movie, very boring.

I still want to feel that the hairstyle is really special. In addition, I don't quite understand why you should abandon your emotions. What's the difference between that and a robot?

A lot of long shots are used to describe the grandeur of the space station, but to me, these shots are not very attractive.

    Vulcan master: Our ancestors cast out their animal passions here on these sands, saving our race through the attainment of Kolinahr.

    Vulcan master: Kolinahr - through which all emotion is renounced and shed.

    Vulcan master: You have labored long, Spock, and proved yourself worthy to receive from us this symbol of total logic.

    [Spock rejects the Kolinahr pendant]

    Vulcan master: Your thoughts... give them to me.

    [she mind-melds with Spock]

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

    [pulls away]

    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.
