There is a villain in this movie, human ignorance.

This is probably the most 80s Star Trek movie. Not just the setting, but the overall vibe. It feels like a movie I'd watch alongside E.T., The Goonies, or Explorers. It's definitely turned into my favorite of the bunch.

After all these years, my brother and I still quote "hello computer?" at each other.

The humor still holds up, like a fine wine IMO. I did not know about the whale props, thanks for the wonderful movie fact!!!

The film has so much heart and is a testimony to Leonard Nimoy’s humanity

Everybody in the theater cheered when Spock neck pinched the punk rocker with the boom box on the bus. (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDIjLSwk9c4&t=397">6:37</a>)

Still gets how emotionally impactful that simply line of "I feel, fine" from Spock actually was.

Good Star Trek doesn't use overused tropes like heroes and villains. For instance in the classic "The Devil in the Dark" at first it seems like Captain Kirk vs Space Monster but in the end we find the Horta was trying to protect its young and Kirk had to admit he was wrong. ST4 was classic Trek at its best as in the end the problem was miscommunication between two alien species.

This Trek was for EVERYBODY. Not just the fans, but for the general movie going audience who didn't need smartened up with all the lore to appreciate and enjoy the well written and well told story. Even my mom, who had never watched an episode of Star Trek in her life, thought this was just the best thing ever. THAT'S why it made so much bank at the box office, because EVERYBODY went to this.

It is amazing what can be accomplished in a movie without violence and vulgarity and thats what I find so appealing about movies like this and i consider these the most rewatchable. Oh correction on the vulgarity because I remembered "double dumb *ss on you!" Hehe
