Great option from Amazon to download. I had never seen it and was told it was great. wanted to see it but wasn't something I'd watch often enough to buy. Great movie, a little different than most Star Treks.

Don't buy this edition! Leonard Nimoy confirmed there would be a special edition DVD release in the commentary track on the "Star Trek III" DVD. So just wait for that edition! DVD Grade: D-

Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)Simply, for my money, this is the best movie done exclusively by the Star Trek - TOS group. Adventure, social commentary of the 1980's (it is getting a little dated but holds up well). Some may not like the preachy attitude as well. The movie is just the start, all kinds of special features that will keep you entertained and informed. My personal favorite was the text commentary, as it is in all of the movies that I have in the Star Trek (Two Disc Special Collecters edition).

The movie starts off well but degenerates badly once the characters arrive at earth. The beginning of the movie is also reminiscent (unfortuantely) of the early part of the first movie. In this movie, just substitute an alien whale-lover for V'Ger.There are some humorous moments here and there once the crew returns to 20th-century Earth, but the movie is irreparably marred by a thinly-veiled and silly political agenda on the part the movie's producers. It turns into an embarassing "Save the whales" commercial.

Oh no William Shatner has to save the whales......please!! Come on, this is the worst sci fi movie concept ever. Sending the crew to do social comentary on pretecting the environment. And then there is the fact that the script was terrible and there were some pretty cheasy acting moments. I would even rather watch Starship Troopers or dare I even say Jar Jar Binks commentary on Star Wars Episode 1!!!I'm sure I'll get negative reviews/votes from Trekies who have no life. But they worship their god (william shatner) with so little regard to the real world, that they can't see that this movie is actually worse than Plan 9 From Outer Space. And that shatner isn't a good enough actor to be on a lame show like days of our lives.But the real kicker is that this is one of the best Star Trek moves!!!!!

By far the worst of the Trek Films. It makes the Search for Spock look like Grand Illusion. As a series, the Star Trek Films have been going downhill since The Wrath of Khan.The attempts at humor remain attempts. The characterizations are sketchy. The situations are cliched. And the ridiculousness of a two-hour Save The Whale commercial lifts this turkey right into Ed Wood territory.
