"The fourth big screen installment in the Star Trek saga may be the most commercially popular of the series, but, like the previous film, can't break away from the time period in which it was made. The result? A light-hearted, "save the whales" message just tangentially taking place in the Trek universe.En route back to Earth from Vulcan, Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and the crew of the former U. S. S. Enterprise are warned away from the planet. An alien probe is evaporating the ocean and blocking out the sun while draining power from anything it meets. In their captured Klingon Bird-of-Prey, the crew journeys back in time to procure two humpback whales-the only creature which can answer the proBe-and return to the 23rd century.In Star Trek III, the production outfitted the new U. S. S. Excelsior in pink chairs, Chekov (Walter Koenig) in a pink jumpsuit and a snarky sense of humor, at least in some scenes. Here, instead of being confined to one or two scenes, the very plo ...

"It has been a few months since members of the late "Starship Enterprise" had gone to the "Genesis Planet" to bring the reanimated body of "Spock" (Leonard Nimoy, who also directed the film) back to "Vulcan" so it could be reunited to its' "katra", the "Vulcan" living spirit. Now they are refurbishing the captured "Klingon" vessel so the crew can face charges brought against them after they went to the restricted planet despite being ordered not to go. Meanwhile, in another part of the "United Federation of Planets" territory, a huge probe of unknown origin is playing havoc with the systems on "UFP" ships in its path. The probe eventually reaches Earth, and causes even more havoc as the transmissions from it are focused on the oceans. Back on the "Klingon" ship now manned by the "Enterprise" crew is listening to the multiple distress signals caused by the probe, followed by by the probe signal, which "Spock" studies and discovers that, in the right condition, the transmissions resem ...

"Though the third Fast and the Furious installment, Tokyo Drift, wasn’t a huge box office disappointment with its $63 million domestic gross, it was significantly less successful than its predecessors, The Fast and the Furious ($145 million) and 2 Fast 2 Furious ($127 million). A fourth film would normally see an even bigger drop in box office receipts, but next week’s Fast & Furious has a good chance of actually being the highest-grossing film in the series yet, due to the return of original cast members Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordanna Brewster and, most im "

"The one with the whales. And, no pun intended, it’s a pretty fun fish out of water movie. And it incorporates time travel. Good stuff. "

"After watching the new Star Trek trailer leaked on YouTube and coming away completely confused, I was happy to discover that the spot was receiving a proper, official release this morning. But after also watching the higher-quality version on Apple.com, I’m not any more enthused. It still looks cluttered with too much CG and potentially weak direction — kind of like the first Star Wars prequel, of which I’m also reminded thanks to that lame, child version of James “Siberius” Kirk. And it still lays on the characters and sets up the plot as messily as possible. Worst of all, it doesn’t at all pique the interest of a non-Trekkie like myself. I know, looking at the

"Star Trek IV: The Voyage HomeI've been watching the Star Trek films sequentially and for the first time. I think I feel as though each one gets better and better. Not that I feel this one is anywhere close to a masterpiece, but it's nice that they were able to have a little bit of fun with it.In the commentary they say that Harve Bennett wrote the scenes where the crew are in their own time and Nicholas Meyer wrote all the stuff where they are on Earth in the 1980's. It certainly feels like two different movies. Kind of strange that there seems to be humor in one world and not the other. Why does it make the future seem like it's so humorless? Apparently people in the future no longer swear or understand sarcasm. It's hard to believe that we could change so much, but maybe if we were to meet other life forms.... whatever.The most amusing parts of this are of course those interactions between the crew of the Enterprise and people from 1980's Earth.
