Viewing Notes

via Netflix

Fugitives of the Federation for their daring rescue of Spock from the doomed Genesis Planet, Kirk (William Shatner) and his crew begin their journey home to face justice for their actions. As they near Earth, they find it at the mercy of a mysterious alien probe whose signals are slowly destroying the planet. In a desperate attempt to answer the call of the probe, Kirk and his crew race back to the late twentieth century in the hopes of finding the only living creature that can talk to the probe, humpback whales. Just about pitch perfect and on point with social commentary, this is classic Trek meeting the save the whales movement head on and embracing it, all while weaving that into a time travel based flick where they have to save the planet. This is also a great comedy if you even know just a little bit of Trek lore as we get a great deal of fish out of water moments. The command crew really feel like a family here and the character moments drive the film which isn’t a bad thing at all.
