Product Description
Product description
Star Trek Iv: The Voyage Home (
Set Contains:
The Star Trek Special Editions produce a solid amount of fresh material, and this chapter, produced 16 years after the film, is no exception. Through optional subtitles, the authors of The Star Trek Encyclopedia give us blow-by-blow facts of behind-the-scenes action, reveal flubs, and balance the series lore with pithy injections of humor. Anyone who considers Leonard Nimoy/Spock and William Shatner/Kirk "friends" will certainly enjoy their casual commentary track. The second disc has a new 30-minute look at the making of the film but is better when it ruminates on the scientific ideas presented in the story, as told by a variety of experts. The segment with sound designer Michael J. Benavente is a must-see for anyone who wonders how all those sounds are created. --Doug Thomas

If you haven’t seen this movie you should.
True fans of the original series know that it had loads of humor. From Spock and Dr. McCoy's verbal battles to Kirk getting buried under tons of tribbles to Kirk and Spock's impersonation of old Chicago gangsters to the Enterprise crew's tangles with Harry Mudd, the series was rife with comic relief that made the characters all the more appealing. Even the most serious episodes had moments of humor. For example, in the classic City on the Edge of Forever, when Kirk and Spock travel back to New York City circa 1930, Kirk must try to explain Spock's appearance to a police officer. He explains that Spock is Chinese and that his ears are the result of getting his head caught in a rice picker. The scene is hilarious and works beautifully even within the very serious story line.
That's why Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home works so well. It has an entertaining story that even non-Star Trek fans can enjoy. But it still remains faithful to the tone and character of the original show. Gene Roddenberry and crew brilliantly addressed problems in modern society through the use of science fiction. In this case, the crew of the Enterprise must counter 20th Century man's short sightedness by retrieving two humpback whales -- which are extinct in the 23rd Century -- so they can communicate with an alien probe that will destroy the Earth unless it can communicate with the whales. As Spock says, "To hunt a series to extinction is illogical." The audience can't help but agree.
But Leonard Nimoy, who directed and co-wrote the screenplay, does not beat the audience over the head with the message. The previous two films were very heavy and serious in nature, so Nimoy opts for a light touch reminiscent of episodes like "The Trouble with Tribbles," "I, Mudd" and "A Piece of the Action" from the original series. Kirk and company must deal with hostile traffic in 1986 San Francisco, bus drivers demanding exact change, punk rockers with 40 decibel boom boxes, an ornery female marine biologist and other hazards of the 20th Century. After watching Spock's death, the Enterprise crew's mutiny against Starfleet, the death of Kirk's son and the destruction of the Enterprise, the jovial, humorous tone of this film is a welcome change.
Naturally Star Trek fans will get the most out of the film. When Spock's father Sarek (Mark Lenard) and mother Amanda (Jane Wyatt) appear, a dedicated Trekker can't help but remember the great episode "Journey to Babel" where we learned of Spock's complicated and often hostile relationship with his father. And when we see the brand new Enterprise at the end of the film, only Star Trek fans can truly appreciate what a happy moment it is.
But the fact that this film was the most commercially successful of the series -- over $100 million in 1986 -- shows that general audiences and not just Star Trek fans found the film entertaining and appealing. Roger Ebert, who was very lukewarm about most of the other entries in the series, raved about The Voyage Home. Star Trek fans have always seen the films as surrogate family reunions. The actors playing the characters may have aged and gained weight, but the fans loved seeing Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu and Chekov return for another adventure. Star Trek IV, however, allows even non Trekkers to enjoy the reunion.
Voyage Home is unique. It's the funniest of all the Star Trek films, and among the most popular. To understand the humor, you need to understand the place Voyage Home holds in the great story arc, the fourth in the series. Voyage Home is basically part of a trilogy of Trek films that tell one big story, and it's fun to watch them back to back. Voyage Home picks up just days after the ending of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, which follows shortly after Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, where Spock must sacrifice himself to save the Enterprise; III is the journey to recover Spock and restore his katra (soul) back to his renewed body; and in Voyage Home IV, we meet a Spock newly recovered but still transitioning back into the fullness of his old self.
The hijinks begin once they successfully arrive at 20th century Earth. Spock looking like a hippie, a crew unused to things like money and traffic lights, and a passionate whale scientist who finds them oddly intriguing. Kirk passes Spock off as a hippy who may or may not have indulged a little too much "LDS" back in the day. The sash tied around his ears completes the ruse.
I won't offer any other spoilers, but Voyage Home navigates a wonderful balance between high stakes action and great comedic moments. It's one of the most commercially successful of all the Trek films, and small wonder. It's a great adventure, and a lot of fun! Live long and prosper!

Reviewed in Mexico on September 14, 2023
le film est pour moi sans surprise et toujours apprécié, car je suis amateur presque inconditionnel de Star Trek... cet épisode est particulièrement intéressant... de montrer des extraterrestres qui s'intéressent plus aux Baleines qu'aux humains... pour entrer en contact avec la Terre... mais cela à l'avantage de diffuser l'idée juste et vrai que les baleines sont mille fois plus intelligentes et sensibles que ce qu'en croient et pensent de nombreuses personnes (en particulier les imbéciles qui les tuent de puis bien trop longtemps en ne respectant ni la loi ni la vie et détruisent notre monde pour se faire du fric...) allez savoir, on aura peut-être ce problème sur le dos dans un temps futur ? D'ailleurs c'est aussi valable pour toutes les autres espèces vivant AVEC nous sur notre planète... enfin c'est plutôt nous qui vivons avec elles, car les animaux etc. sont des milliards pus nombreux que nous humains, et c'est eux à eux tous qui sont la vie dominante sur notre planète... si on les détruit et éliminent on est assuré de disparaître à notre tour... d'une manière ou d'une autre, et là, la proposition de Star Trek en est une possible... c'est à méditer pour agir dans le bon sens dans le respect de la vie qui nous entoure.
Kirk und Spock ersinnen eine Möglichkeit, mit der Sonde Kontakt aufzunehmen. Leider sind die Buckelwale in der Zukunft bereits ausgestorben und können so der Sonde nicht antworten. folglich liegt die Lösung in der Vergangenheit in die man sich natürlich sofort begibt.
Die Betreuerin der beiden Buckelwale, die in San Francisco in Gefangenschaft leben, Gillian, stellt sich als offener heraus, als Kirk es zunächst erwartet, Letztlich bliebt kein anderer Weg, als sie mit in die Zukunft zurückzunehmen. Mit im Gepäck auch ihre beiden Buckelwale, die ohne die Enterprise wahrscheinlich von Walfängern getötet worden wären.
Hauptthema des Films ist also eigentlich nicht die Zeitreise oder die Zukunft sondern der schlechte Umgang des Menschen mit der Natur. Somit ein weiteres Plus für den rundherum gut gemachten Film, der bei keinem Trekkie in der Sammlung fehlen darf.
Sehr lobenswert auch der Soundtrack von Leonard Rosenman der hervorragend zu dem Film passt.
