Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home

I'm not much of a Star Trek fan, but I really felt compelled to check this one out after watching a trailer of it on youtube. I had to buy the DVD on Amazon.com earlier today. Kirk and The Enterprise go back in time to the year 1986, which is also the year the movie came out. They need to recover some hump back whales to defeat the bad guys in their present day or whatever, and I hear that this one is heavy on comedy. And it looks that way too. Especially judging from one of the posters I've seen for the film. I have a feeling I'll like this film alot, and I won't even need to be a big Star Trek fan to enjoy it.

I live within walking distance of the aquarium they filmed at. Somewhere I've got pictures from the inside, too.

"Well, a double dumb-ass on you!"

"Hello, computer."

"Somebody remember where we parked."

Seriously, one of the best movies ever.

I love those "colorful metaphors" lol.

"Well, double dumb ass on you!"

I own this movie on VHS, I bought it and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock at my local Goodwill for two or three dollars each about two years ago.

Ahh an even numbered Trek film....always the best. 2,4,and 6 are by far the best. I like 4 for the humor...the punk rocker on the bus anyone?... and 2 and 6 for the action.
