Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home*           

(US 1986)
Paramount/Industrial Light and Magic. 119m. Panavision

Kirk and co. travel back in time to present day Earth to retrieve an extinct species to communicate with a mysterious life force.
The Star Trek series regains some momentum in this nonetheless leisurely and sometimes pompous fourth outing, with an ecological message and some wry comments on contemporary 1980's society, although both are treated rather casually.
