Widely considered the best movie in the "classic Trek" series of feature films, Star Trek IV returns to one of the favorite themes of the original TV series--time travel--to bring Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Uhura, and Chekov from the 23rd century to present-day San Francisco. In their own time, the Starfleet heroes encounter an alien probe emitting a mysterious message--a message delivered in the song of the now-extinct Earth species of humpback whales. Failure to respond to the probe will result in Earth's destruction, so Kirk and company time-travel to 20th-century Earth--in their captured Klingon starship--to transport a humpback whale to the future in an effort to peacefully communicate with the alien probe. The plot sounds somewhat absurd in description, but as executed by returning director Leonard Nimoy, this turned out to be a crowd-pleasing adventure, filled with humor and lively interaction among the favorite Star Trek characters. Catherine Hicks (from TV's 7th Heaven) plays the 20th-century whale expert who is finally convinced of Kirk's and Spock's benevolent intentions. With ample comedy taken from the clash of future heroes with 20th-century urban realities, Star Trek IV was a box-office smash, satisfying mainstream audiences and hardcore Trek fans alike. --Jeff Shannon

Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home, was one of the best Star Trek movies involving the original cast. The movie was continuation from Star Trek III - The Search for Spock. During the opening scenes of the movie, Admiral Kirk and his crew, were making the hard decision to return to Earth to answer for their violations of Starfleet rules and regulations. At the same time, the alien space probe was approaching Earth and creating major problems. During the flight home, Kirk, Spock and McCoy discover the ... Read More

My title sounds like a romantic comedy, but watching the Enterprise crew trying to fit in with the 1980s world is just great.
The back story of the hump back whale is also a lesson to all of us about what can happen if we do not wake up and take care of Gods creatures.
Some people consider this movie silly because of the ease of time travel whenever convenient, but that is why it is called science fiction.

The Good Things
*Some good special effects. Some of it is quite memorable.
*Filming style is good.

*Characters are still good. You get to learn one or two more things about them all. Good acting.
*This is mostly a comedy, so there are loads of funny scenes. Lots of memorable dialogue. Good writing.
*Strong themes about the environment ... Read More

Gene Roddenberry's original concept for the second Star Trek movie was time travel. Paramount wanted nothing to do with the idea and successfully "replaced" Roddenberry with Harve Bennett, and, thereby, "stealing" Star Trek from it's creator. Yet, in a truly ironical twist, Paramount reversed itself when Bennett approached them with Leonard Nimoy's ideas for time travel. Again, Roddenberry had "no" say in this movie--nor does it use any of Roddenberry's original ideas that I am aware of--and the ... Read More

And that is the truth. They shot scenes from this fine film in my high school's backyard (The Former Alameda Naval-Air Base). And that was years and years before I ever met the likes of Blane, my production manager at the trophy shop, who laughs at me whenever I talk Trek with some of my customers. Heck Blane, I know you own this title on DVD AND VHS! Just like me. Why don't you just admit it already. It won't make you any less annoying to let the world see the fact that you are a nerd, like us ... Read More
