Synopsis
Still on the planet Vulcan (where audiences last saw them at the end of The Search for Spock), Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov and Uhura prepare to head home to receive their comeuppance for stealing the Enterprise and taking it to the forbidden Genesis planet. Spock, who has been recuperating from the fal-tor-pan procedure that restored his katra to his physical body, decides to accompany them so that he can testify at their court martial proceedings. But as their ship nears Earth, they receive an emergency transmission, warning all incoming vessels to steer clear of Earth. The reason: a mysterious alien probe has rendered all nearby ships and planetary defensive systems powerless, and is now wreaking havoc on the biosphere.
Review
It's fun, it's quirky and it's the weirdest, most eccentric Star Trek film ever made, in a great way. With the crew basically thrown into a fish-out-of-water circumstance, extreme measures are taken in order to survive the most dangerous era the world had ever lived through - the 80's! Armed with the very unconventional story of whale-searching (another way to raise contemporary environmental concern), the crew's interaction with people of Earth is golden and very funny. To sum things up, The Voyage Home could be the most special Star Trek movie of them all, and I enjoyed it very much.
Rating
Full 5 Stars
