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

I even prefer this one over Star Trek 2:The Wrath of Kahn. Ths story starts off on Vulcan (Spocks' home planet) but you'll forget that setting soon as then--via- a little time traveling-- most of the action takes place in 1986 San Francisco). Shatner and Nimoy (Kirk and Spock) have good often deliberately humourous chemistry and I love all of Kirk's scenes with that Gillian Taylor (Catherine Hicks) who works at an aquarium where the Enterprise needs to acquire a few whales.

I absolutely love this film! It takes place in my hometown, first of all (and Sulu's! Of course he's be from San Francisco...) and it's absolutely hilarious. The comedy in this film is TOO much, I was cracking up every five seconds. Spock's character is just incredible, I loved it. The first two films, Wrath of Khan and Search for Spock are nothing compared to Voyage Home. It's a good laugh, and I could watch this film over and over again!

Star Trek IV takes a bit of the last film and a bit from the first one. We have alien invasion, an environmental message about the destruction of whales as a species and Man as well. We learn a lot more about Spock (as he becomes re-educated after his ordeal on the Genesis planet, last film) and time travel!
Lots of fun lines in this one. Only whales can communicate with a probe that sucks energy from anything in its vicinity and proceeds to evaporate the Earth's oceans. The problem ... Read More

The Enterprise crew travels back in time to... 1980s San Francisco. Not exactly the high point in American culture. The acting falls flat and the humor loses its novelty. I really liked this movie as a kid, but now it just seems silly and stuck with that 1980s vibe. It hasn't stood the test of time, in my opinion.
What do I mean by stuck in the 80s? Case in point: Kirk and Dr. Taylor go to a fancy Italian restaurant in San Francisco, at which their table is set with breadsticks, and Kirk ... Read More

Not as good as Star Trek 2 (but then nothing is), this one has a scene with beer, a hot marine biologist and a grumpy McCoy growling about the primitive state of "modern" medicine. I really liked it.
