Star Trek: Generations By David Carson Minefield Tragedy
Star Trek: Generations by David Carson Minefield Tragedy.
Star Trek: Generations directed by David Carson wasn't appealing to viewers because it lacked good graphics and had many plot holes. Although Carson used two very significant characters, Captain Kirk and Captain Picard, the storyline he created was dissatisfying to many due to the film feeling more like an episode from the series Star Trek: New Generations. Other Star Trek movies have produced double the profit that Star Trek: Generations made because of better funding on graphics and a well-written enriching story line.
The story takes place a couple of years later after Captain Kirk’s ship, Enterprise, is ravished by an energy field. The new captain of the starship Enterprise, Captain

    Blood Simple Film Analysis

    The Coen brothers can be considered an example of what not to do when first starting out as a writer and director in the film industry. From the beginning, they did not try to get a big name producer, go for big name actors, or write movies they knew would be hits. Instead, they raised money from the citizens of their hometown to make their first film Blood Simple, which starred pretty much no-name actors and actresses in an absurd plot. However, this put their name on the map, and it was because of that movie that we have masterpieces today like Fargo. They use their own techniques that, if tried by any other director, would seem forced, but when put to fruition by the Coens create a film that captivates many.…

    Mark's Survival In The Transall Saga By Gary Paulsen

    It is a fact that without water in severe conditions, you could last less than 24 hours, but may last as long as 3 or 4 days. Food depends on your body type, of course. Generally, heavier people last longer - assuming that they store more water - than most people can go for at least a week without food though. However, will Mark learn to survive on his own in the desert, or is his life suddenly faced against life or death? The Transall Saga is a speculative/science fiction written by Gary Paulsen. When Mark goes out on a hiking trip in the desert, he is enclosed in an abnormal blue light and transported to what appears to be another world. He's injured in the tribulation, and must recover while trying to stay alive. Once he's well enough to move around more freely, he makes discoveries, namely monkey-like creatures and fruit, as well as evidence of people. One day, he is seized and imprisoned by a group of indigenous people. As time…

    An Analysis of the Historical Events Incorporated in the Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury

    In The Martian Chronicles, Bradbury ties in historical events and uses them to make certain points about human society. The three main topics he explores are colonization, technological advancement and censorship. These issues arose during the 1900s, throughout a significant part of Bradbury’s life. They had an extremely influential role on human society and way of life. Competition between countries and the protection of national ideals were catalysts for technological advancements and brought new types of problems to the world that had never been there before. During this time, the American government began to control and regulate more parts of life. Colonization and growth continued to eliminate cultures that were unable to protect themselves and for the first time, mankind had created a weapon that had the potential to destroy the entire civilized world. He utilizes these events to show how man strives to expand and advance, but ultimately ends up destroying culture and important aspects of life in the process.…

    2001 A Space Odyssey Analysis

    Straight into the beginning, Carr starts his article with a scene from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey where Dave is trying to disconnect HAL, the space robot, from its artificial brain because of the mishaps HAL made. Carr uses this scene to connect to how he can feel that the internet is reprogramming his brain negatively to think differently than how it was before. He includes how he is struggling with the negative effects of technology that he developed like poor concentration. Carr mentions that anyone can fall into training their brain into losing the capacity to focus, including him. He has difficulty focusing on reading after two or three pages and begins to look for something else to do. Carr states that the internet “is chipping…

    The Illustrated Man Kaleidoscope

    The story begins when the rocket has just exploded and the crew is falling through space. They have space suits on, so they can breathe and talk to one another through a radio. They estimate that they have an hour or so to speak to one another before they drift too far apart. Hollis, the main character, is falling towards the Earth, while the Captain is falling towards the moon. They are all scared and Hollis kills one man who starts screaming uncontrollably because they cannot talk to one another on the radio while he screams. As they talk, at first they try to calm each other down, but then some of them become mean. Applegate tries to hurt Hollis by saying that he destroyed his career and Hollis lashes out at Lespere when he reminisces about the fulfilling life he has had.

    The Self-Destruction Of Mankind In The Birthmark By Nathaniel Hawthorne

    The story of “The Birdmark” against humans use science and technology to meet the individual's endless greed and want to express the view that modern humans should control the various desires pursued by the material, the proper use of science and technology properly, and ultimately the benefit of mankind, rather than bring man-made disaster. The truth is the most valuable, and all through other means to meet the satisfaction but is self-defeating only. Scientific experiments that violated the laws of nature and did not bring any benefit to mankind, but the self-destruction of mankind. It said that the famous “The Birthmark” is based on a real story. One day, Hawthorne was reading a book: a young scientist was busy in the laboratory all days…

    Why Is Star Wars Better Than Star Trek

    Star Wars is better than Star Trek. Star Wars has a whole army of clones. I feel like Start Trek has limited cast. Star trek has less weaponry. Star Trek also has less vehicle types. I like a lot of weapons and vehicles in science fiction movies and television. Star Wars gives us more action packed scenes and a more diverse selection of vehicles and weaponry and characters. I also think Star Trek is a bit more realistic and Star Wars is true fantasy. Like I said before, that’s just the way I like it.…

    The Sun Also Rises Lost Generation

    In the novel The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, the reader follows the travels of expatriates Jake Barnes, and his friends Lady Brett Ashley, Robert Cohn, Mike Campbell, and Bill Gordon. As the characters travel around France and Spain, Hemingway describes their various interactions with people that both took part in the war and those that did not. The term “Lost Generation” is applied to the people that fought or witnessed the war and is “lost” because of their experiences in the war. Through the characters, the reader can see how the Lost Generation is drastically different from the rest of society at the time. For example, many of them drank heavily, lost faith in religion, and stayed up late through the night in order to avoid thinking about their past. An important…
