ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME (1986)

 

“Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home” is a Sci-Fi Action Adventure based on Gene Roddenberry’s original creation, screenplay written by Steve Meerson, Peter Krikes, Harve Bennett and Nicholas Meyer, story by Leonard Nimoy and Harve Bennett and Directed by Leonard Nimoy.

 

It is the 23rd century and Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and his fugitive crew, Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Scotty (James Doohan), Sulu (George Takei), Chekov (Walter Koenig), Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) and Saavik (Robin Curtis), return to Earth at the same time as a mysterious alien probe.

After trying to communicate with what sounds like whale call, and receiving no response, it threatened by its actions to destroy the Earth, evaporating the oceans, and devastating the atmosphere, so Kirk and his crew must time travel back to San Francisco in 1986 to retrieve the only beings who can communicate with the probe, humpback whales.

But despite their extensive experiences in the far-off reaches of the galaxy, none of them were prepared for what they found in 1986.

 

A decent Star Trek adventure with an important message with all the usual faces and a few additions, Jane Wyatt as Amanda, Mark Lenard as Sarek, Brock Peters as Admiral Cartwright and the delightful Catherine Hicks as Gillian.
