Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home


Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, 1986. Kirk & friends time travel to the 1980s. Directed by Leonard Nimoy. Written by Steve Meerson, Peter Krikes, Harve Bennett & Nicholas Meyer; story by Bennett & Nimoy; based on a TV show by Gene Roddenberry. Starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy & Catherine Hicks.

Concept: 1/4 (Bad)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 3/4 (Good)
Dialog: 4/4 (Great)
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 8/10 (Great, 4/4). Nine times out of ten, when humor and the original Star Trek cast mix, the result is a disaster. But in this case, it's brilliant. It's not quite as good a movie as Wrath of Khan, but it's close.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.7/4 (Good)
