Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Movie Review

Chekov - San Francisco in the 1980s, perhaps leather pants wasn't the best choice... Trading space battles for time travel, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home sends the crew back to 1980s Earth on a mission involving whales, culture shock, and a very different tone from what came before. Does this lighter, fish-out-of-water Trek still hold up decades later, or does this whale tale sink under the weight of its message and comedy? Continuing the Trek toward the reboot, our hosts dig into the humor and heart, and whether this unexpected detour remains one of the franchise’s smartest moves.
