Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
[DVD Star]
As
Kirk and crew return home to Earth they find that there is an alien
probe approaching and is causing massive power failures across the
globe. The signals emitting from the probe are determined by Spock to be
vocalizations similar to those of a humpback whale. Because they must
communicate with the probe, but humpback whales have gone extinct, their
solution is to go back in time and kidnap/rescue a pair of whales. They
travel back to the late 20th century and it's funny to watch the crew
in that environment. They split up with different tasks, catch whales,
build a tank in the space ship for the whales, and find some way to
restore the ship's power. This is a great movie. While it does pick up
shortly after the last movie ended, you could watch this as a stand
alone. I'd recommend it if you like time travel movies, science fiction,
or humorous movies with a good plot. -- recommended by Kristen A. - Gere Branch Library [ see Kristen's Reviewer Profile and more of her reviews ]
