Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home Review

Great movie! I loved that the cast of Star Trek TOS had to go to 80's America. Also the jokes and gags are hilarious, like when Chekov was talking to the officer(mind you it's the mid 80's and he's russian) asking "May you please tell me where the Nuclear WESSELLS are in Alameda", or when Kirk tells Gillian that Spock had a little to much LDS.
Though most "Trekkies" probably don't like it because there's not enough fighting or space action, this is my ABSOLUTE favorite Star Trek film,and one of my 5 favorite films of all time.

Now about the VHS tape I have, the '91 directors edition, it's fair though the random commercial about renting videos was a bit random(the dog rents a movie and it's normal O_o). The introduction interview with Mr. Nimoy was okay, but a bit bland at most. The Widescreen is GREAT much better than full screen, which was more popular in it's time.

In the all in all I'd recommend the Movie to most people who like Star Trek and Comedies. Though the Director's edition Widescreen VHS is more a collector's item, the special edition DVD would be more "Logical" to purchase.

Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home Specifications

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
