Review of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) by Warren M — 12 Mar 2015

A wonderfully crafted movie by Nimoy who finally gets to show his skill behind the camera. His knowledge of the characters and the franchise really help push this movie in to my top ten favorites. The story is thought provoking and just as pertinent now as it was in 1986. Another interesting angle to this movie is as times goes by and the 80's get further away from us. We can't help but feel a little like the intrepid crew. As we peer back in to the past at San Fransisco on the 80's.

Star Trek IV uses a minimal level of effects and embodies what many fans enjoy most about the franchise. It's ability to tell a good thought provoking story. Something which was sadly lost in the most recent "Into Darkness" movie. Which seems to replace a good story for an excess of CGI, lens flares and poor dialogue.
