10 Classic Science-Fi movies that were inspired by Star Trek

Original Star trek The series was revolutionary. It changed how people thought about science-fi at television, and it also pushed the envelope in other ways. It was a social comment, and it was not a dodi or camp as it came before.

Effect of Star trek It is evident to see most of the coming SCI-Fi. Either clearly, or in a more subtle way that the manufacturer may not realize. So I thought that I would boldly suggest a list of films that have a little part of the genes made by late, great gene roaddenberry.

Star Wars: Episode IV -a new hope

Given that this is a strange rivalry between star trek and star Wars fans, you may be surprised to hear that first Star wars The film has any connection for the Star Trek. After all, Star Wars (by George Lucas’s entry) is a science-franchise rather than being a science fiction.

And yet, Lucas is on record saying that Star Wars stood on Star Trek’s shouldersIt is not that Star Wars had inspired a lot by it, but that the popularity of Star Trek created fertile ground for some like Star Wars. Today, both of us enjoy the franchise and it does not seem that either of them is going anywhere.

Silent running

Silent running My favorite classic is one of the science-fi movies, and has a worldly and direct relationship Star trek Its director through Douglas Trimbal. He later went to make special effects visual Star Trek: The Motion PictureSo much of visual language Silent running The first trek will end in the film’s DNA.

However, this is an inspiration in the opposite direction, so how do I really think that original Star trek Inspired this film? For me, all this is about messages and vibe. Silent running gun-blazing space is not opera. It is a slow-running eco-winter film that gradually makes a finger finger on us collectively. I really think that Star trek Focus on more cerebral vibe and social issues of day, such as racism or warfare, actually feels it Silent running Post-plant is part of the science-fi landscape on the screen.

Enemy

Based on the 1979 novel by Barry Longier of the same name, Enemy Perved poorly at the box office, but later became an impressive creed-classic. This is another personal favorite, but how it is inspired Star trekOkay, I can’t say if the longer was directly inspired by the trek, but the plot of Enemy Star Trek reported that there is a lot of in-line with the types of stories.

Humans are in war with a foreign caste, and a human and foreign pilot are trapped together on a desolate planet, which are forced to work together to survive. Knowing each other and understanding each other’s attitude, two races progress in their struggle because two persons took this first step.

Longyer’s novel was very impressive in itself, and, irony, I think you can see its effect in later trek episodes, such as “Darmoc”, The Legend 1991 TNG episodes where Captain Picard and Captain of a Tameryan ship captain will have to cross a communication barrier to avoid death. Tamerian is also a strong similarity for aliens Enemy,

Explorer tape

Jean Rhoddenberry and Star Trek Screen Author Jean L. Koon’s brain yield, Explorer tape Not so inspired Star trek From the same pregnancy from birth. There is also a proper bit of Asimov foundation Even as there, but it begins with a mysterious missing professor who leaves a advanced Android behind which no one else can understand. You know, like Dr. Data called Nonian Song and a certain Android.

Conspiracy Explorer tape Easily there could have been a trek episode, dealing with the upliftment of more primitive species, but without direct intervention. What does it mean to be human beings working in the background, and what is the meaning of learning a fish out of water. This TV film was actually a secret TV pilot for a series that was actually a greenlight, but the project was demolished due to disagreement between Roddenberry and Network. Interestingly enough, Leonard Nimoy was considered for the role of the title Android, doing makeup tests. Given that the data effectively had a spock stand-in in the TNG, which simply makes this pre-TNG Roaddenberry film more interesting.

You can buy Explorer tape View on Blue-Ray or DVD or for free Internet archives,

Spaceball

Ok, then this creed-classic parody by clearly interacted is a large extent rafing Star wars, but Thanks to the shrinking transporter gag and character, it matters technically, and it gives me a valid excuse to insert me Spaceball In this list so that people who have not seen it can fix this regrettable difference in their pop culture knowledge.

Fight beyond stars

It is a large extent “motivated” Roger Commen Cultic (characteristic of visual effects by a young James Cameron) Star warsAs anyone will tell you. However, although the plot tells a lot about George Lucas’s film, it is not really the bit that Cormon has distanced away from a galaxy. Since both films are overshadowed by Kurosawa films Hidden fort And Seven samurai, This is more like both of them take inspiration from the same source. No, the biggest star for me is in the effect scenes. This is the look and sound of the blasters. Space’s cinematography, and epic parts that are most clearly trying to see and feel Star warsBut on a very small budget.

This happens when we switch to the interior of ships, in the sequences of the multi-species, that I get a strong trek TV series vibes. This can be completely casual, but this film, from the perspective of visual and production, seems to be Star wars on on the streets, but Star Trek In sheets. Aside, the film shares with a musician Star Trek II: Khan’s anger As James Horner, and you can definitely hear similarities.

arrival

Yes, despite being a relatively recent film, I consider exactly arrival A Classic Science-Fi film, although A Modern Classic. It is based on the 1998 short story, titled Story of your life Ted tells the story of Ted Chiang and a foreign caste that makes the first contact with humanity, affects gifts, but we expect us to help them in the future. It seems a lot how the vulcan made the first contact with the Earth Star trekAnd then later formed a federation with humans and other species.

I also think that heroes have a lot of trek for academics and scientists. I have no idea that Chiang really likes the trek or was directly inspired by it, but his writing certainly resonates the same progressive themes similar to the trek, so I think Jean Roddenberry would have liked his work.

Calmness

Calmness There is a film that brings dear fans to close something Fiery The TV series, which was infamous after looking like a network subotage. Honestly, I think the strongest impact on the show and film was probably ShepherdBut the relationship with the trek for me is that this universe is basically anti-trac. It sounds like a reaction to a similar base. Star trek A space was also conceived as Western, or at a very least in the space version of the explorers on the front of the civilization. You know, “last limit”.

In the world of peace, however, it is wild vest, and humans have not made any progress towards moving beyond their greed, fear and prejudice.

Avengers: Endeme

I am sure you did not expect to see climatic resolution for the Grand Superhero Movie Arc iron Man Film here, but Endgeame Draws from a broad spectrum of effects, and Star trek In my mind, it is undoubtedly one of them.

The second half of Andgem is a fully developed star trek time travel episode. From the science-talk-Haavi mission briefing to “don’t touch the past, or you will mess up the timeline”.

Galaxy Quest

First Orville Was there Galaxy Quest. A parody not only Star trekBut with the culture of Phantom and the lives of the actors, who became famous for some extent for influential science-fi shows.

The thing about this film is, while it is funny Star trek And its fans, it also manages to be an excellent Star trek The movie, which often takes it to an ancient honorary place in the list of best trek films. It has the right feeling, performing by artists is unprecedented, and one of the reasons, as a core trek fan, I watch this film at least once a year.

Travel To date continues to develop and affect science-fi, due to being affected by fresh voices in style, which affects itself. I always love TNG as “my” trek, but I am almost anything open. Okay, except Lower deckSomeone should have some kind of standard.
