"Ultimate Pioneer" has always been the most criticized film in the "Star Trek" series. In fact, it can be seen from the directorship from the previous two films "Spock" to "Captain Kirk". Clues. William Shatner is not the material to direct the tube. He has directed very few movies in his life. Except for this episode of "Ultimate Pioneer", there is only the little-known "Hacker" in 2002. The reputation of this film is even more bleak, the poor 2.4 points on IMDB is enough to discourage most people.

In fact, judging from the concept of this episode, it is similar to the first episode, both of which are the pursuit of "metaphysics." The first episode is "The Mystery of Life", and this episode is "The Existence of God". However, in the narrative, "Ultimate Pioneer" is far less natural and complete than "Infinite Space". In the first half, the part of "Spock"'s elder brother "Sepock" who hijacked the hostages and the spaceship was obviously for entertainment and entertainment, and the process was hastily, without showing a thrilling feeling, it was a failure. In the second half, seeing "God" and demonstrating its tricks should be the top priority of the film, but it is also very disappointing. It is a waste of the original plot because of its intellectual philosophical verbalism and no twists and turns of plot design. Quite a good idea, it's a pity.

If you have to cite a bright spot, then the role of "Sepok" still has a certain charm. Although it is suspected of being a stick, he dares to act and is quite heroic. In the end, it is found that "God" is just a fake. After the goods, he sacrificed himself resolutely and repaid his sins with his life. However, under the influence of the low standard of the whole film, this character is also difficult to shine, and eventually becomes a drop in the ocean.

    ST5's emotional drama is a little bit small, although there are some hugs and triple choruses, ST3 is still awesome!
