So continuing my rewatch, tackled Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
I put this off because, as I think I said, I wanted to use this movie to introduce my lady to Star Trek. I picked it because it's a bit more fun, less serious sci-fi stuff, and just an overall good enjoyable movie. She gets the first 1/3 which is traditional Trek, then a movie that features fantastic character work and core elements of Star Trek philosophy in a more easy to swallow pill. She loved it.
And I love it! It's a Star Trek movie without a single big space battle. I think, and I might be wrong, the only time a phaser is fired is when Kirk needs to lock a door in the hospital. I don't think they had any other fighting going on, minus possibly Chekov trying to escape the naval ship.
But yea, we all know it's a great movie. So I won't spend a ton of time on it, but I just enjoyed every minute of it. Some dumb moments? Sure. Some plot holes? Obviously. But the movie worked so well that you can look past this stuff.
Next up is Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. I know this movie gets a bad rep, but I remember liking most of it until the last act. Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly. Either way, hopefully I'll get to it this week.
