The rest of the crowd shared my enthusiasm as they chanted “ Start the m ovie!” and “ Star Trek! Star Trek! Star Trek!” After sitting through six previews of coming attractions, the film finally started; and when it was over, I walked out of the theater both pleasantly surprised and — at the same tim e— disappointed. Star Trek IV picks up right where III left off. Spock, who was literally “ reborn” in the third installment, has been retrained on Vulcan, where the rest of the crew of the late Enterprise has decided to return to Earth to face the consequences of the actions they took in III (in which they deliberately disobeyed Starfleet’s orders). When they arrive, however, they discover a giant alien space probe hovering over Earth, threatening to destroy everything unless it can communicate to a whale. Since whales are extinct in the 23rd century, Kirk and friends decide to go back to the 20th century, where they find a couple of whales and a lot of humor. They manage to beam the whales onboard, but will they be able to make it back to the exact time when they left? If they do, will the whales communicate the right message to the probe, or will the Earth be doomed? The best phrase I can think of to describe Star Trek IV is “ radically different.” According to Leonard Nimoy, the film’s director: “ This one is very different in setting and tone. Star Trek IV starts out like a Star Trek movie and then it makes a left turn. It is intentionally very dif­ ferent.” But does this make it a better or worse film? It makes it both.
