Viewing Notes

via Netflix

In the 23rd Century, a mysterious probe is threatening Earth. To save their home the Enterprise crew must travel back in time to save the humpback whale from extinction.  This is basically how you do Star Trek and make a poignant comedy about saving the planet at the same time.  The second Trek film directed by Nimoy, this film harkens back to episodes like Trouble With Tribbles while still delivering that message that Original Series episodes often did.  The effects work is fantastic and the model work with the humpbacks was so good they ended up using it in several other films and ads.  The music in the film is the most radical departure from the other films and is fairly light and fits the film itself.
