Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

CriticsCritics: 76
AudienceAudience: 7.5

When a mysterious alien probe threatens Earth, a starship crew discovers that its message may be linked to humpback whales, long extinct in their era. They travel back to 20th-century California to find whales and bring them into the future, encountering unfamiliar technology, customs, and environmental concerns along the way.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a lighthearted, character-driven time-travel adventure with environmental themes and fish-out-of-water comedy; Not for you if you prefer serious space drama or tightly explained science-fiction plots.
