It completes the loose story trilogy started in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and continued in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.Leonard Nimoy directed as well as starred in The Voyage Home, which earned four Academy Award nominations, for Best Cinematography, Best Effects, Best Music and Best Sound. The original music score was composed by Leonard RosenmanThe film begins three months after the events of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock as a large cylindrical object moves through space heading towards Earth, sending out an indecipherable signal and disabling the power of any vessel or station that it passes. As it takes up orbit around Earth, it continues signaling and disrupting the global power system, and then starts causing extreme weather patterns to develop over the planet while evaporating the oceans. Starfleet Command, on the last of its power reserves, sends out a subspace signal warning of the danger.On Vulcan, the former officers of the USS Enterprise living in exile decide to return to Earth to face the punishment for the theft and willful destruction of the ship; Spock, still recovering from being reborn on the Genesis planet, goes with them. The Enterprise officers use the seized Klingon Bird of Prey, renamed the HMS Bounty, to return to Earth. As they enter the solar system, they hear Starfleet's warning and the alien signal; Spock is able to determine that it matches the song of humpback whales, long since extinct on Earth, and that the object will continue to wreak havoc on the planet until it can be answered. The crew devise a plan to slingshot around the Sun to time travel back to the late 20th century and return with a whale.William Shatner as Admiral/Captain James T. Kirk – Shatner was initially unwilling to reprise the role of Kirk until his salary was increased to $2 million, and was promised he could direct the next film.[1] Shatner described The Voyage Home's comic qualities as one "that verges on tongue-in-cheek but isn't, it's as though the characters within the play have a great deal of joy about themselves, a joy of living [and] you play it with the reality you would in a kitchen-sink drama written for today's life."[2] Leonard Nimoy as Captain Spock DeForest Kelley as Commander (Dr.) Leonard McCoy James Doohan as Captain Montgomery Scott George Takei as Commander Hikaru Sulu Walter Koenig as Commander Pavel Chekov – Koenig commented Chekov was a "delight" to play in this film because he worked best in comedic situations.[3] Nichelle Nichols as Commander Uhura Catherine Hicks as Dr. Gillian Taylor Majel Barrett as Commander (Dr.) Christine Chapel Grace Lee Whitney as Chief Petty Officer Janice Rand Mark Lenard as Ambassador Sarek Jane Wyatt as Amanda Grayson – Wyatt commented that although she disliked working with actors who were directing, she found Nimoy an exception because he could concentrate on working with being part of the cast as well as setting up the crew.[3] John Schuck as the Klingon ambassador Robert Ellenstein as the Federation President Brock Peters as Fleet Admiral Cartwright Robin Curtis as Lieutenant Saavik Madge Sinclair made an uncredited appearance as the Saratoga captainRead full review
I love all the star trek movies, I would rather have it on a dvd, but this was fine. It was in great shape. Getting the movie plus getting extra movies along with it. This was a plus with me. getting more for the money. Thank you for asking. Glenn "Guitarman1947"
I love this movie and the quality of this product. I feel like I am reliving the 80s and I am in the movie theatre
I NEVER REALLY ENJOYED THE REPLACED CREW OF STAR TREK. THE ORIGINAL CREW MEMBERS ARE TRUILY THE HEROS OF STAR TREK.
