So he hijacked a Federation warship and then stole a devastating weapon made by Captain Kirk's son and old lover. And lure the enterprise into his elaborate trap
The most influential and popular star trek film in the Series of movies is also the object of parody of the just-released Star Trek: Dark Frontiers tribute. As the focal point of the "Khan" is the most famous villain in the Star Trek worldview, the film once again successfully shaped the image of Khan, and secondly, the storyline of Captain Kirk was pushed to a climax: that is, the death of Spock, the parting paragraph that made countless fans cry was reversed and reproduced in "Dark Frontiers".
It was still Captain Kirk and Spock, a good friend, who led the Enterprise to encounter the Khan Group again during the deep space exploration, thus staging one of the heaviest life-and-death parting scenes in the ST world.
The birth of Genesis Star not only brought planetary visual shock, but also the first time in film history that full CG synthesis was used to complete the special effects screen.

Starring: Caspar Van Dean / Diane Mel / Denise Richards / Jack Busse / Neil Patrick Harris / Clancy Brown
Release: 1997-11-07
After graduating from high school, Rico, at the instigation of his girlfriend Carmen, against his father's will, joined the Mechanized Infantry Academy, and Carmen also joined the Naval Academy. Shortly after they entered training, Earth was attacked by insects from alien planets. Rico's relatives were all brutally killed, and Carmen transmitted the captured images to Rico. The grief-stricken Riko led his men into battle against alien insects. However, the army underestimated the strength of these insects. In an encounter, 100,000 troops were killed, leaving only Rico, Carmen and a few others to escape. Riko witnessed the horrific killing scenes and was surprised to learn the secret of how clever and powerful the insects had become. Rico realizes that more advanced weapons must be built to deal with these insects, and the human counterattack begins!
"Galactic Fleet" is based on the famous novel of the same name by science fiction master Heinlein, but its text has been controversial because of its involvement in totalitarianism, external expansion, genocide and even Nazism. The film is also the characteristic of early war movies and monster movies, with the most advanced CGI computer special effects at the time to produce a large number of realistic and cruel war scenes, and the blood index is quite high.
In order to prove that he did not rely on his parents to mess with his face, Rico, a rich second-generation high school student, began his military journey with his girlfriend in a fit of anger. From a cannon recruit egg gradually grew into a brave and fierce mechanized infantry warrior, and threw himself into the endless war between humans and insects, realizing the full meaning of a warrior's existence.
The magnificent picture of the gathering and departure of the human space fleet, the long-distance meteor attack of the Zerg, the landing battle of the Human Legion parachuting into the Zerg planet, and the close-range killing with the Zerg are the biggest highlights of the film.

The story takes place in the twenty-third century, and human technological development has reached the point where interstellar travel can be achieved. Born in 2230 on the planet Vulcan, Spock, a boy whose mother, Amanda Grayson, was a human being, was often ridiculed and bullied by his peers. His father, Sarek, was a diplomat on the planet Vulcan, and Spock struggled from an early age between a serious Vulcan logical education and his human emotions. Growing up, Spock met Kirk, who also had great ambitions, and although the two were constantly contradictory, they gradually began to understand each other through various task tests.
The status of "Star Trek" in the entire popular science fiction culture is equivalent to the "Bible", and the new version in 2009 is also a new reboot of JJ Abrams' integration of his own image style and blockbuster setting, which not only completely reshapes a number of classic characters, but also has won the recognition of a new generation of fans through rich tributes and information, exquisite visual effects spectacle, and a twisty and compact storyline.
Captain Kirk and Vulcan Scientist, who play the main supporting role, have always been the most popular kings in this series of space operas. The fledgling young and vigorous Kirk not only sneaked on the "Enterprise", descended from outer space to destroy the Romulan mining ship, exiled the frozen star and was hunted down by monsters, and fought with the Romulans, which can be described as shining, and the limelight overshadowed the William Shatner version of the year.
The old captain of the Enterprise was Christopher Pike, and the crew included medical officer "Old Bone" McCoy, chief engineer Scott communications officer Uhula, helmsman Sulu, and 17-year-old navigator, the genius teenager Chekov. The elderly Spock from the future travels through time and space, telling Kirk that Nino, the remnant of the future Romulan Empire, has also returned to the present, and leads a large group of people to take revenge, Nino destroys Spock's hometown of Vulcan, and the next target is Earth
The Star Wars in which Captain Kirk's father meets the Romulan mining ship at the beginning of the film makes people find the visual sense of "Star Wars", and the time and space shuttle black hole that appears in the film, and the second encounter and confrontation between the Enterprise and the mining ship are all pictures that make the new and old fans extremely enthusiastic.
TOP6: Apollo 13 (1995)
Director: Ron Howard
Starring: Tom Hanks / Bill Paxton / Kevin Bakken / Ed Harris / Gary Sinis Genre: Drama / History / Adventure
Release: 1995-06-30
Also known as: Helios 13 / Apollo XIII
On July 20, 1969, The American Neil Armstrong, aboard Apollo 11, successfully landed on the moon, taking a major step of great significance to mankind. Meanwhile, veteran astronaut Jim Lovell and friends and family and friends watched the historic moment closely on television. Jim flew near the moon on Apollo 8, and he also hopes to realize his dream of landing on the moon in his lifetime. The moment soon came, and just 3 months later, Jim was appointed commander of Apollo 13, and he would once again take off to the moon with his partner, Frey Dehans Jack Swift. They were full of hope, but they did not expect that there were infinite tribulations waiting ahead
Adapted from the most spectacular and dangerous space accident in the history of human spaceflight, it is also the first film produced by the film industry in cooperation with NASA. The excellent interpretation of Tom Hanks and others, the tense plot that restores the facts themselves, and the exquisite special effects production make this film the most popular of director Ron Howard's works.
Apollo 13 was the third manned lunar mission of the Apollo program. However, two days after the launch, the explosion of the oxygen tank in the service module seriously damaged the spacecraft, causing a large loss of oxygen and electricity; the three astronauts used the spacecraft's lunar module as a lifeboat in space and successfully returned to Earth through many difficulties and obstacles.
Thanks to the strong assistance of NASA, this film fully demonstrates the daily training of American astronauts, the landscape and precision equipment of the space center, and even the daily training. The most memorable thing is the whole process of the spacecraft launch, the separation of various types of cabins, docking close-ups and various self-rescue measures staged by the three astronauts in the narrow cabin facing the endless dark space, and the acceleration when the spacecraft officially returns to the Earth's atmosphere constitutes the maximum climax of the release of the emotional points of the whole film.
TOP5: The Moon (2009)
Directed By: Duncan Jones
Starring: Sam Rockwell / Kevin Spacey / Dominic McEligot / Kaya Skodario
Genre: Drama / Sci-Fi / Suspense
Release: 2009-07-17
Also known as: Lonely Moon Shadow / 2009 Lunar Rover / Moon
In the future world, with the rapid progress of science and technology, the pollution of the earth is becoming more and more serious. In order to curb this situation, a company called Yueneng Industrial Co., Ltd. came into being. The company is working on the development of lunar energy to meet Earth's energy needs by harvesting helium-3. Moon energy has a base on the moon, and Sam Bell is the only staff member on the base. Sam, a contract worker hired by the company, has been living alone on the moon for 3 years, accompanied only by the intelligent robot Gotty. The tedium of life makes Sam feel like an arrow, and when he leaves the moon in two weeks, Sam accidentally encounters an accident. When he woke up, he found that Gotty seemed to be hiding something from him, and the company's top management refused his request for a return trip. Sam takes the opportunity to escape from the base, but finds himself at the site of the accident.
The Los Angeles Times once commented on the film: "If you want to talk about the future impact of the Moon, then he is simply a 2009 Space Odyssey." This is a work that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Whether exaggerated or not, this masterpiece of the delicate alienation relationship between humans and machines raises myths about life cognition and identity that deserve our repeated consideration.
Sam Bell, an employee of Moon Energy Industries Co., Ltd., stationed at the base to develop lunar energy helium-3 on the moon, has spent three years alone. In addition to his basic work, he is accompanied only by intelligent robots and his home planet, which can be seen from the top. However, just as he was about to return, he discovered a shocking secret that made him collapse.
Although the whole film does not have the visual spectacle that often appears in previous space-themed science fiction movies, its repeated scenes of looking at the earth in the curtain have become the only classic pictures, representing the indelible source of human homesickness and the deep sense of powerlessness that is close at hand but cannot be traced.
TOP4: Robot Story (2008)
Director: Andrew Stanton
Starring: Ben Belt / Alyssa Knight / Jeff Gelling / Fred Willat
Genre: Comedy / Romance / Sci-Fi / Animation / Adventure
Release: 2008-06-27 (USA)
Also known as: Wall-E (Taiwan) / Star Story / Robot Wall-E / walle
In 2700 AD, human civilization was highly developed, but due to the large increase in pollution and domestic garbage, the earth was no longer suitable for human habitation. Earthlings are forced to leave their homeland in a spaceship and embark on a long, boundless journey through the universe. Before leaving, they commissioned Buynlarge's company to clean up the earth's garbage, and the company developed a robot called WALL•E to take on this task.
The robots worked hard day after day, year after year, but as time passed and the harsh environment eroded, the WALL•Es were damaged and stopped moving. In the end, only one is still on this seemingly never-ending work. After a long period of time, it began to have its own consciousness. It likes to carefully hide the treasures it has collected, likes to look at the song and dance films of hundreds of years ago after work, and has a cockroach friend as a companion. Until one day, a spaceship from space broke its unchanging life.
With this film, Pixar has created a new pattern of animated films, not only greatly improving the production technology, but also amplifying the introspection of the theme of deep reflection and human destiny, successfully integrating the anti-traditional story concept into it, borrowing the perspective of a non-human character without lines to examine the human world twice, and obtaining excellent word-of-mouth and box office feedback.
The lonely but humanized waste disposal robot WALL-E is the only humanoid lifeform left on Earth, and in order to recover his beloved robot EVA, he sacrifices his life to enter the wandering spaceship of human beings in space, thus performing a romantic adventure.
Wall-E crossed the moon, the sun, and nebulae before arriving on the human mothership in order to follow the EVA to the space patrol ship, and the picture of WALL-E stroking the stardust dust by hand is one of the classic moments of this film. In addition, the plot of WALL-E and EVA touring the earth's plants together and dancing together in the deep air outside the mothership is even more intoxicating.
TOP3: Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Director: Irving Keshner
Starring: Mark Hamill / Harrison Ford / Kelly Fisher / Billy Di Williams / Peter Mays / Frank Oz / Alec Guinness / Anthony Daniels / David Boros
Release: 1980-05-21
Also known as: Star Wars Episode 5: Empire Strikes Back / Star Wars Episode Five: Empire Strikes Back / Star Wars Episode V: Empire Strikes Back
Filmography:
Lord Vader drove the resistance out of the base and sent thousands of probes to find Luke Skywalker. The Resistance ambushes the icy Planet Haas, and Luke is accidentally captured by the Snowman during a patrol mission, and after using the Force to escape, he faints when he hears Obi-Wan Kenobi asking him to go to Dick Star to find master Yoda, the Jedi Knight, for training. The Galactic Empire sends an army to attack Haas Star, and Han Solo and the ape Chubaka take Princess Leah and the robot C-3PO to escape in the Millennium Falcon spaceship, and arrive at The Bespin Cloud City of Rando Karisin, Han Solo's old governor, to temporarily rest, only to find that Rando has already made an agreement with Lord Vader to betray Han Solo's trap to lure Luke. Luke, who has not yet completed his studies, insists on paying alone despite Yoda's persuasion, and a fierce battle is inevitable.
Many people consider Empire Strikes Back to be the deepest, darkest, most mature, and most thoughtful star wars in the series.
Luke Skywalker grows further in this episode and learns his true origins. Not only did he go to Dick Star to find Master Yoda the Jedi Knight for training, but he also had to rescue Han Solo and others alone, and more importantly, he recognized the Black Samurai and refused his persuasion, laying a sufficient foreshadowing for the finale of the trilogy.
For any Star Wars, the magnificent starship air battle is a rare visual spectacle. However, more people remember the thrilling lightsaber duel between Luke and his biological father, the Black Samurai, in this film, and the complex emotions and extremely opposing dramatic contradictions are indescribable.
TOP2: Alien (1979)

Genre: Sci-Fi / Horror
Release: 1979-05-25
Also known as: Alien Killer / Star Beast
In the future world, human beings can easily travel between the stars and carry out commercial activities in space. The Nosmo is one of many interstellar commercial transport ships active in space. Once, when it returned to Earth with a mission full of space ores, it suddenly received a strange set of signals, and since this could be a distress signal, the spacecraft was instructed to go to the source of the signal for search and rescue.
After a flight, the spacecraft finally reached the place where the signal source was sent. The crew found that there was indeed a crashed spacecraft here, but after some searching, they found that the ship's crew had long since died and turned into fossils. At this time, Ripley, the third commander left behind in the Nosmo, had deciphered that the signal was not a distress signal, but a warning signal! The life-and-death struggle of the team members has begun!
As an immortal monument to the space science fiction horror genre, Alien has created a classic horror monster character with unlimited nightmares for the entire human race, and the confined space battle battle contained in the film itself, the brave and powerful undead heroine, and the grander world view behind the story have made the charm and influence of the film enduring.
From a transport shipwright to a female warrior fighting for survival, Ripley completed the role change in just a few days. Even if the opponent is the most ferocious and cunning ultimate monster in the universe, Ripley can calmly cope with the danger, with excellent survival skills and combat skills and excellent psychological qualities, and eventually become a legendary astronaut who has been tied to the alien for hundreds of years.
The planet LV-426, the beginning of all the stories in the Alien series, shows the rare wild planet landscape in science fiction films, and the long and endless nights and extreme atmospheric activities make the rescue activities more unknown and unsettling. The first enigmatic space race, the "Space Jockey" (the "Engineer" in Prometheus), became a mystery that lingered in the minds of movie fans for decades.

A large black stone stands in front of prehistoric humans, who have just begun to recognize tools and have entered the milestone of evolution. The same black stones still appear in many parts of the universe, they stand on the moon, floating in space, with some mysterious meaning.
Now in 2001, in search of the roots of Blackstone, humans are embarking on a jupiter landing program. There are three hibernating astronauts on the spacecraft, Captain David, Frank pilot, and a highly intelligent computer called the HAL9000. HAL went haywire during the spaceflight, killing Frank and three hibernating personnel, leaving Boman to fight the computer.
David, who returned from the death line, turned off the main brain system in one breath, and the HAL completely failed. Now, David is the only one left in the vast universe, heading for Jupiter. Through the magnificent stargate, David seems to go to a strange time and space, where there is an endless cycle of life and death of human beings and the ultimate knowledge of the universe.
The greatness of "2001" lies in the extraction of human imagination and the interpretation of a spiritual and philosophical space epic with concepts such as the universe, time and space, limit, and life, which is grand and profound.
At that time, in 2001, in order to explore the roots of Blackstone, humans launched a jupiter landing program. The spaceship astronauts on the way to Jupiter are killed one after another by the ship's artificial intelligence HAL-9000, which produces a confused autonomous consciousness, and the only surviving human being has accidentally glimpsed the ultimate secret of the universe after completely shutting down its host.
The most impressive thing about the film is the appearance of the star child in the universe, his transcendental existence, so that everything in space returns to the original origin, as if the universe becomes one at that moment waiting for the first bloom.
