#nichellenichols — Public Fediverse posts

Das hier ist wahrscheinlich die widersprüchlichste Filmreihe der Popkultur. Kein anderes Franchise schwankt so radikal zwischen philosophischer Science-Fiction, politischer Allegorie, Alterswerk, Blockbuster-Spektakel und gelegentlichem völligen Wahnsinn. Die dreizehn Kinofilme erzählen nicht nur von der Zukunft der Menschheit. Sie erzählen von Hollywood, vom Kalten Krieg, vom Ende des Kalten Krieges, vom Aufstieg der Nerdkultur und von einer Filmindustrie, die vergessen hat, warum Menschen wie ich „Star Trek“ ursprünglich so sehr geliebt haben. (NUR im TV auf ZDFneo!)
