89/100 Beginning with "save the world" importance and ending with life-affirming joy, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home is a film which shreds its urgency as it goes along, supplanting stakes for a sweet dose of environmentalism and shaggy comedy. Our characters are already…
SilentDawnApr 7, 2022Insane that this works. On paper it's a mess. A bunch of visibly aging people from the future travel back in time to save two whales and the whole thing has a lightly comedic fish-out-of-water tone. What if this was the first Star Trek anything? I'll tell you what if: it…
Branson ReeseSep 29, 2013can you imagine a fourth entry in a lucrative franchise taking a hard swerve into comedy like this these days? although it's certainly choppy since it's still got a goofy, expository and "relevant" sci-fi adventure to deal with, you put a few beers in me and i'll start…

Ian WestMay 13, 2013You're proposing that we go backwards in time, find humpback whales, then bring them forward in time, drop 'em off, and hope to Hell they tell this probe what to do with itself?! -McCoy With 24 seasons over 5 television series and 12 feature films, The Voyage Home has…

My favorite ‘fish out of water’ comedy of the 80’s. Love how this relies less on effects wizardry and evil villains and just goes for the comedy and cast chemistry—which is wonderful in every way. Ranks high on my list of most watched movies and most beloved movie posters,…

So I'm giving this a "like," but it's borderline, because it's not as bad as the first one, but definitely the second worst up until now. They just spent SO much time in the 20th century, and it kind of took you out of it, and for me, the whales plot line wasn't that interesting
Iso lovedStar Trek IV: The Voyage Home9.5/10 “I think he had a little too much LDS.” A stark contrast to the other Star Trek films with its humorous and fun approach, this is my personal favorite thus far. I laughed more than once at its absurdity and it was a really comforting break from the usual action. Loved.
Platypus Lord lovedStar Trek IV: The Voyage HomeJust delightful. I love it to an irrational degree. Maybe it's a bit ridiculous & far-fetched, but it's also hilarious (usually in actually clever ways) and a heartwarming, light watch. Nothing too deep here, but it gets a pass because of the sheer joy of watching it.

Metacritic
Nimoy directs the comedy in a loose, relaxed, almost sketch-like manner, but when the film moves into its multiple-cliffhanger climax, he's still able to generate some genuine dash and tension. The only drawback is that the Enterprise gang is starting to look a little long in the tooth for such strenuous action.
Dave Kehr
Chicago Tribune
William Shatner's Kirk is less stoic here than in III--he's pleasantly daffy. The others in the crew also have an easy, parodistic tone. But the picture doesn't have much beyond the interplay among them and the jokey scenes in San Francisco.
Pauline Kael
The New Yorker
The ecological message is commendable, and there are some amusing situations with the space travelers in contemporary scenes. Nimoy's direction keeps a lively pace and the special effects are state of the art, as always. [08 Jan 1987]
