This week, Star Trek makes a triumphant return to form, as we
are joined by
Tom Salinsky to watch the
1986 film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, in which the crew of
the Enterprise meet their match, as they confront the most
terrifying alien species of all time — Americans from the 1980s.
Star Trek: Generations is a Christmas movie, but more than
that, it’s the moment when
Star Trek: The Next Generation makes its first tentative and
ultimately unsuccessful step into the venerable movie franchise.
Julian Bashir’s crazy uncle has a horrific plan to get to heaven by
killing a bunch of people we don’t see and don’t care about, and can
only be stopped by two middle-aged white guys clambering over some
gantries or something. Oh, and the Enterprise crashes and the
whole crew is killed. Happy holidays, everyone!

After a botched first attempt back in 1994, the
Star Trek movie franchise brings back many of the beloved
characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation in a thrilling
adventure, packed full of action, scares and laughs — as well as some
sexy moments with an undead cyborg lizard and an optimistic message
about the future of humanity. Five stars, really.
