Ok, but how cool is that lady? Seriously, she hitched a ride to the 23rd century leaving everything behind without even thinking about it and then she ditched the guys she came with to find out what she could like and be useful with after a two-centuries jump?! JUST. AWESOME. This is probably the least noteworthy detail in the movie but I was so impressed I had to write about it somewhere, don't mind me!

A lot of people consider this to be the best of the Star Trek movies. I do not count myself among them. It´s not that I dislike it in general it´s just a lot of little things I personally didn´t like that add up. The idea of again having an alien probe coming to earth. The method how they bring the message in this part feels like delivered with a hammer. Normally I percieved Star Trek to be more subtle in that regard. I´m all for humor in a movie and there were some really great funny scenes but all in all it´s too much. And than there is the part of messing around with the past. Time travel is always a great tool in SF but I often wondered if there where budgetry reasons involved. After all it is less expensive putting the movie in the (then) present. Alltogether as I mentioned not bad in general, but it always felt to me being just a movie and not a Star Trek movie.

Yes, the plot about whales is kooky af but goddammit the ride is just so undeniably fun - plus, I'm a sucker for both time travel stories and fish-out-of-water humour. Obviously, for those Trek fans of a more serious disposition, they will probably find this a bit too lightweight but it's one of my favourite Trek movie entries.

A nice family film with some laughs. It's the best Star Trek film according to critics. According to fans Wrath of Khan is the best and they aren't wrong.

[8.0/10] Here’s a dirty little secret -- I never really cared for the “let’s go back in time” episodes of *The Original Series*. Whether it’s the nonsensical sneakery of “Tomorrow Is Yesterday” (which *Star Trek IV* borrows its time-travel method from) or the perturbing backdoor pilot More

I guess when I was 6 i liked it, and every generation needs it's time travel movie doesn't it?

But, no, bringing them back to contemporary 80s earth just doesn't work. It's sort of too close to home to be good. Star Trek is Sci-Fi, sure, but this just doesn't work.

They live in a future that C More

The plot is strangely imbalanced. There's this gigantic threat to Earth. And it's the Enterprise's crew time to shine. Now, after we have learned more fascinating stuff about Half-Vulcans, the band of brothers is back and I really like the comradeship that was lacking in movie III due to the "absenc More
