I arrived while Spock was talking to Amanda and in the very next scene had to ask someone nearby what the hell the big screaming space cigar was. By the end of the film, I wanted more Trek, and not long after that I found a VHS rental shop nearby. I’ve been hooked ever since.

I'm from the USA and a huge fan of British science fiction (Wells, Clarke, Quatermass, Hitchhiker's, Who, etc) and it's really fun to hear a British take on one of our old American science fiction warhorses. I do remember seeing this at age 15 or so, it was a small town theater but there were fans in uniform from the slightly bigger town 20 miles away. The Challenger dedication at the beginning received general and respectful applause. That's John Shuck as the Klingon ambassador, he was the dentist "Painless" in Robert Altman's MASH (1970). His scene does indeed set up Undiscovered Country in a bit of blatant foreshadowing that I need from a Star Trek film in the same way I need Sylvester McCoy's Doctor to get bit by an alien he's trying to pet.

Though it’s a toss up between Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country as my favorite Trek film because they’re both so solid, I can’t dispute The Voyage Home’s contribution to Trek as a whole. I have the fond memory of my folks taking me to see it in theaters when it originally released. Seeing the dedication to the crew of the Challenger while still fresh in the American consciousness was a sobering reminder. And smart to put it at the beginning versus the end dampening the joyous tone. I can’t wait until you guys get The Final Frontier. It had such a problematic production but it had such great moments with the three leads. The bickering was very on point for the franchise. They carry the film.

If you're wondering how or why they put in accurate engineering about the amount of "transparent aluminum" they would need to make a tank like that, remember that they filmed this partially at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which hand opened only two years before. The Aquarium has enormous two- and three-story tanks of water with transparent sides. If James Doohan (or any of the rest) had politely asked any of the engineers who had worked on those tanks to draw up engineering plans for refitting a Klingon Bird of Prey with transparent aluminum bulkheads, I'd imagine they would have been thrilled to help.

The scene where Sulu sees the Yellow Pages ad on the side of the building, he was supposed to meet his great, however many great, grandfather. But there was a problem with the child actor, and the scene was scrapped. Much like, the original scripts, Sulu was helming Enterprise as a favor to Kirk, because he had six weeks free before his next assignment. And when they get back to Earth, because he had been there for Genesis, that assignment was taken away from him. He WAS captain of the Excelsior.

Really, any currency they had in the 23rd century would be completely different. Your Federation Credits are no good here on 20th century Earth. That's why every time traveler in the real world ends up stranded here, homeless and crazy ranting about stuff in the future but completely dismissed and ignored by everyone from our present day. They have no means to recharge their technology. They have no tools to repair anything. Whatever crazy alloys they have no value to anyone in the present because nobody can identify them as valuable or have any way to make them useful. So what happens to a person with no money, no valid ID? On the streets, maybe committed forcefully into an institution if they say the wrong things. The absolute best case scenario is they keep their mouth shut, manage to find some under-the-table unskilled manual labor since none of their advanced degrees in whatever future skills or knowledge are useful in the present and can't be proven anyway, and make enough cash to barely survive a very quiet, uninteresting life while trying to go unnoticed by any authorities.

1:16:18 The strange part is that the original series clearly and repeatedly established these characters use money in their era, there are lots of references to the crew of the Enterprise are paid, there is a galactic economy in episodes like "The Trouble With Tribbles" etc. This is literally the first mention of them not using money, a notion that carries through all Star Treks from here on out, but it's just a funny throwaway line. Heck, even in the previous movie, McCoy tries to buy passage to Genesis in the bar scene. Now, physical money, that's really all Star Trek IV needs to imply. Kirk understands how money works, he just isn't used to handing it around in paper notes and coins.

It's good to see you guys to continue with this series and it's funny to see MauLer trying to be diplomatic so he he won't offend Trek fans.😂That being said 19:19 - silly Longman, people of Federation don't have missiles, they have photon torpedoes ! And all though we've seen them being fired at considerable distances - episode TNG Wounded shown torpedoes being effective at the distance of 300 thousand kilometers - I doubt that firing at the probe would work. Yes, inertia should carry projectiles at intend target but there are at least few way to deal with objects without it's own propulsion in ST; 1. tractor beam - it can not only capture & immobilize objects but it also can push it away. 2. phasers - it was shown being capable of shooting down large amount of small & relatively fast moving objects. 3. transporters - it was shown on occasions that you can beam up objects moving trough space. And that's only few ways in which probe could defend itself because being alien ancient technology it can have other defensive measures unknown to Federation. And assuming that he wouldn't simply changed course and flew around incoming projectiles. Should Starfleet try to do something to stop the probe? Probably but I don't see what realistically they could do without writers using some kind of deus ex machina? So, maybe line of dialog about countermeasures failing would be desirable but still I think that UFP was helpless against this probe. That being said I enjoy those conversation you guys have and I wonder how MauLer will react to Star Trek V ? 😂 Live long and prosper! 🖖

This isn't the best Star Trek movie, but it is the one I enjoy the most. It's just a lot of fun. I'd watch this any time and be in a better mood after than I was before I put it on, every time. I've found it flipping through channels late at night (back when I still even owned a TV) and would always stop flipping and just watch this. I'm sure it's the Star Trek movie I've watched the most times, and I'm sure it's not even close.

Notice how the Enterprise crew struggles with the 20th century's "colourful metaphors" - with a running theme that 1986 is a primitive place compared to the more elevated 23rd Century that Kirk and his chums are from? And then along comes Kurtzman with his "sheer (expletive) hubris" line - from a 25th Century Starfleet Admiral, no less - to detonate an f-bomb under all that.

Yeah, so much for the more evolved sensibility...

Remember that time Geordi was confused when Zephram Cochrane said he needed to take a leak because people in the 24th Century speak differently to people in the 21st? *sigh*

The humour you get from the original cast and especially in IV, is something that i’ll always find lacking in subsequent generations of series and films.

"Kirk and Spock have such good timing, you could just have the two of them walking around a town and that would be fun" Huh. THAT would be an interesting thing to put into a random SciFi show.

Fish out of water stories were very popular in the 1980s . Like Balky from Perfect Strangers or Paul hogan of crocodile Dundee fame . It was a genius idea after the heaviness and grief of the previous films to do one of the finest Star Trek comedies ever . Star Trek is one of my favorite science fiction . Being a former 1980s kid was amazing to grow up with so Many great films .

Funny to think, Star Trek Generations is the TFA of Star Trek i feel. A missed opportunity to pass the torch in the motion pictures.
