THIS FOURTH INSTALLMENT of the Star Trek film franchise is not quite as good as Star Trek Ⅱ: The Wrath of Khan, but it's a close second, and certainly worth watching again-even if you're not a Star Trek geek. The Voyage Home brings back the most beloved characters from the original 1960s television series, including Mr. Spock, played by Leonard Nimoy (who also directs the film), and William Shatner as Captain (now Admiral) James T. Kirk. Though Kirk may have gained a few pounds, he still exudes that Starfleet charm. Even the fabulous Klingon cloaking device makes an appearance-so to speak. The story has Kirk and his crew traveling back in time from the 23rd century to San Francisco in 1986 to retrieve a humpback whale so that it can communicate with a mysterious probe that threatens Earth (humpback whales have become extinct by the 23rd century).
