Summary: My favorite of TOS movies
Review: This was a great movie - I loved the plot - they needed a humpback whale to communicate with a probe but the humpbacks are extinct in Kirk and Spock's time so they time travel to the 1980's to get some whales! I love seeing the whole crew of the Enterprise wandering around San Fransisco in the 80's - the makers of this movie came up with some great lines and scenes! It is a challenge to get a couple of whales beamed up to the Enterprise properly! I can't stress enough how well they put this movie together. I think anyone would enjoy this, not just Star Trek fans. When I first saw it I wasn't a fan yet and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

Summary: One of the best of the original six!
Review: Star Trek IV The Voyage Home, in my opinion, is clearly one of the best out of the TOS six. Although not as high in the suspense aspect, like Leonard Nimoy says, it was good to lighten up a bit and have a good time with Star Trek. While other reviewers might feel the humurous aspects of this film wearout after repeated viewings. I understand that statement, but don't feel the same. I can still get a laugh out of these scenes even though I've seen them more times than I can remember. I especially love the scene with Scotty being handed a mouse and him trying to talk to it. Again, one of the best Star Trek films out of the original six. If you're one of the few people who've not seen this or are new to the genre, I definitely suggest you add this DVD to your collection.

Summary: Nuuuuucleeeearrrrrr ¿¿¿¿¿ Wessels
Review: The last installment of the Trek trilogy is widely regarded as the best movie of the franchise by many because it was the most mainstream movie in the franchise. This film has a very light-hearted story based on what happens when mankind is too shortsighted that they end up almost causing their own extinction. It's also got some of the best comedy the Trek franchise has ever seen because the characters are forced to endure life in the 20th century for most of the movie. The humor works very well, and it helped Star Trek get more of an audience than it ever had before. It was a daring attempt to broaden the Trek franchise and it worked out for the best. As far as I'm concerned, this is where the Trek movies with the original cast should have stopped. I have no interest in parts V or VI because in my opinion, neither one of them had the excitement or the charm of any of the films in the II-III-IV trilogy. This movie is highly recommended for both Trek fans, as well as non-Trek fans.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: Star Trek IV: Voyage Home was the best so far out of the series!
I love how they travel to the 20th century and they try to cope with our invirement. Awesome direction by Leonard Nimoy and all of the crew of the Enterprise are neat too. Need to see 1-3 before seeing this one(It doesn't make sense till after watching Search of Spock)

Summary: Gets Back to the Spirit of the Original Series
Review: Leonard Nimoy did a masterful job directing this mostly comic episode involving time travel and prior reviews have said, Saving the Whales. After the very disappointing Star Trek III (sorry, but it was sooo dull after the great Khan), what could be more fun than another time travel episode of Star Trek. The mom from "Seventh Heaven" is Kirk's love interest in this film and she also perfectly suits the tone of the piece. Another plus is that Mr. Scott, Uhura and other cast members have considerably more to do for a change. Highly recommended. Believe the curse about odd numbered Star Treks. Five is the worst of all time. Three and one were so-so. Two and Six (both directed by Nicholas Meyer) and Four (Nimoy) were great.

Summary: Save the Whales!
Review: This is a good movie if you want comedy. Anyways, the entire crew is back, back to the past that is. A probe causing earths atmosphere to go haywire sends the crew back to 1986 or so to find two whales, preferabbly Humpback. Spock calculates everyhing from memory, but leads the crew into a dilemma. The dilithium crystal in the "enemy wessel" (don't ask-they're in a klingon warbird) has run dry and they have to find more. They each split up into teams: Kirk and Spock find the whales; Scotty, McCoy, and Sulu find the plexiglass and helicopter; and Uhura and Chekov find the dilithium. Everybody but Uhura and Chekov find everything. Due to radiation, only one can beam up at a time. Uhura beams up, and the guards find Chekov. Prepare for the chase scene! It doesn't last very long though. He falls off a ledge and ends up in the hospital. Prepare for another chase scene!! Kirk and McCoy go to the hospital, and when they get back, they've got the beam up coordinates and everything set to go. The whale-chick(forgot her name) wants to go with them, and stay with George and Gracie(the whales), proving the point that "you don't see a marine biologists everyday in the 24th century." Using the sling-shot effect with the sun, the crew makes it back to the 24th century, to face the charges agaisnt them. But, since they did all that they did, the headguys forget all the charges, but demote Kirk back to Captain. The probe leaves and everyone is happy. The End!!!!

Summary: Shifting Momentum
Review: Star Trek IV was the well anticipated sequel to The Search for Spock. Trek III left a cliffhanger so large that the filmmakers had a veritable world of possibilities available. The mid-eighties Eco-trend was pulled off perfectly in its time, and the present. Species are still on the brink of extinction, global warming, and rainforests are still a problem. STIV takes the trek fans and non-trek fans on a wild ride back in time to 1986 to combat the extinct species problem. The 23rd century is devoid of: Whales. An alien probe is unleashing punishment on man for his abuse, and ultimate extinction, of the "humpback" whale. Kirk and crew (minus the Enterprise) have to go back in time to bring a couple of whales to the 23rd century to thwart the probes destruction. Spock is not himself, but he's far more hilarious, and the crew must travel in a rust bucket Klingon ship that is battle damaged from the late starship Enterprise. The movie is filled with twists and turns that are sure to still please fans and closet fans alike. Remember, Kirk and Co. are still outlaws in the 23rd century, and strangers in the 20th.
