Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is one of the best movies I have seen. It has a great story line and great acting. It is better then the show. It is also better then the first Star Trek movie. Star Trek V is better. But still this a great movie.

Filipe Neto This film is the fourth film of the franchise and clearly addresses a naturalistic theme, very dear of this time, when ecological movements began to be noticed. In fact, the script itself consists of a trip to the past to save the last representatives of a certain species of whales. Obviously the issue around time travel is pure science fiction and the way the Enterprise craft does this seemed unlikely, but everything else is extremely positive in the movie. I loved the way the script made comedy with the shock of the future travelers (especially Dr. McCoy) with our social and technological backwardness. These moments of humor are the strongest and most appealing point of this film. The technical details of the film are roughly the same as the previous films, in particular with regard to the special effects that these days do not seem very surprising due to the computer effects we get used to. And as for the actors it can be said that it is the film of DeForest Kelley par excellence, in that the actor gets some of the most memorable scenes. The remaining cast, however, live up to our expectations, contributing to make this film a worthy continuation of the franchise.

pkpera I watched it again, some 30 years after first time. And liked it even more. No, it is not perfect, could discuss about some plot holes, being not serious and like, but I give it 10. Because it does what one movie should do: entertain, warm up our hearts, and even teaches. For how many of newer movies you can tell the same ? Visual effects are top notch, of course considering when it is made. And acting too. Catherine Hicks was nice surprise, she gave most of soul to the movie, but others too. I'm sure they all liked the story and message. And it is actually Leonard Niroy movie - he directed and he was main story author. Such a great talent ! For the end of this small review I can say this: I will surely watch this again one day. Maybe even more than once - due to sad lack of movies with real story (story what makes sense), soul (and not some superpower boredom) this days. I watched this in one breath, what could not say for latest Star Trek movie at all.

Tweekums Following the events of 'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock' the crew of the Enterprise are summoned back to Earth to face a court martial for their actions in that film. With the Enterprise destroyed they travel in a Klingon ship they had previously captured. While they are heading home a probe approaches the Earth broadcasting a signal that nobody can understand towards the oceans; if it isn't stopped the Earth could be destroyed. Spock surmises that the signal is being directed at an ocean living species; the humpback whale. Unfortunately by the 24th Century there are none left to reply. To save the Earth they will have to travel back in time to catch a humpback whale!They travel back in time and find themselves in mid-80s San Francisco where, as luck would have it, there are a pair of humpbacks in captivity. Of course it won't be easy; Scotty must build a tank capable of holding the whales and the ship is out of power so Uhura and Chekov are sent to find a nuclear reactor they can tap to recharge the ship's power. To make matters worse there is a time limit as the whales are due to be flown to Alaska and released. In their attempt to get the whales Kirk and Spock find themselves working with Dr Gillian Taylor who has been working with the whales in the museum; at first she is suspicious but ultimately ends up helping.Of all the Star Trek films this is probably the most light-hearted; at times it even borders on the silly but manages to remain funny rather than irritating. The central story may be a bit light but the addition of side stories about getting the materials for the tank and refuelling the ship means it is more than capable of filling the film's run time without dragging. There is less drama than in most of the film but that is made up for with all the laughs; Spock's attempts to fit in '80s Earth are particularly fun. The cast do a fine job and are clearly having a lot of fun with the material. Leonard Nimoy is particularly impressive as he doesn't just play Spock; he also directed the film. The 'Save the Whales' message is not exactly subtle it is hardly a controversial message so is unlikely to detract from the film. Overall this film is a lot of fun; fans of the franchise should really enjoy it.
