Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home 4K 1986 Ultra HD 2160p

Story Movie

Returning home from Vulcan in an expropriated Klingon spaceship, Kirk and his team prepare for the worst in advance. Although the duty of honor has been fulfilled, and Spock is alive and well with us again, the team has no more reason to rejoice, especially when they begin to remember the wrongdoings along the way.

Disobedience to the order, the hijacked and then self-destructed "Enterprise", sabotaged "Excelsior" - all this makes them make far from rosy assumptions about what the Earth will meet them with.

But the reality turns out to be much darker - a huge spaceship of unknown design approached the Earth, broadcasting requests to the planet in the language of whales, which were completely extinct by the 23rd century. A strange ship has the ability to affect the weather, which arranges continuous showers, thunderstorms, hurricanes and tornadoes on Earth. Analysis of the situation suggests that if, thanks to some miracle, whales appear on Earth again, this will stabilize the situation and resolve the impending conflict.

And who do you think is capable of performing a miracle? Naturally Captain Kirk and his crew! They are ready to travel to the past in order to find whales and deliver them to the future in order to save the entire planet.

Their journey begins ...

Review 4K Movie

Star Trek 4: The Homeward Bound is Leonard Nimoy's second directorial and the first full-length comedy in the franchise. Against the backdrop of the dark and exciting events of the previous three films, such as Spock's death and his return to life, the death of Admiral Kirk's son, "The Way Home" provides a stark contrast, being something cheerful and cheerful. In the fourth film, there are more references to the popular culture of the 1980s.

Plot

I must say that the plot has become more naive compared to previous films. A giant ship of unknown origin is approaching the earth, capable of destroying it. The only creatures able to establish contact with him are whales. However, at the time of the events in the film, the whales are completely extinct, and now Captain Kirk and the team will have to travel back in time in order to deliver two whales in due time. The fact that to communicate with a powerful ship, whose dimensions and forces are so great, in my opinion already sounds quite naive and a little fabulous. As well as the fact that the ship is trying to destroy the Earth, only because it could not contact the whales. In addition, I am confused by the fact that none of the civilizations, including the earthly one, has never encountered it. And if it did, it did not warn humanity about it. Some scenes from the 80s seemed to me stretched out. But most of the scenes are really funny and original. My favorite episode is the one in which Spock "turns off" a guy listening to loud music on the tram, after which the rest of the passengers begin to applaud him. The dialogues became especially fun. The plot remained true to the idea of ​​self-sacrifice, courage, bringing something new and interesting.

Cast

It was especially interesting to watch how the characters of the series interact with people from the past. The Enterprise team was already in the past, but those were the 30s. The authors treated the journey of people from the 23rd century to the 20th as the journey of their contemporary, say, to the 19th century. The team is trying to figure out everything, to explore the 20th century. The way Scotty tries to control the computer with her voice is hilarious. Despite the fact that the fourth film is a comedy, there are serious moments in it. Throughout the film, the team is divided into groups and work harmoniously, trying to find the whales, submerge them without attracting attention and return home. Kirk and Spock have a lot of humor despite everything that happened to them in the last two films. Spock's seriousness only reinforces the comic effect. We've learned a lot about Kirk, Spock, and Macoe over the course of the TV show, but we don't know much about the other members of the crew. Here they are outside the ship or the Federation, so they have a chance to prove themselves in terms of humor, and we have a chance to get to know them better. Plus "The Way Home" introduces a new character - Dr. Taylor. As much as it is interesting to watch people from the future trying to orientate themselves in the past, it is so interesting to observe the reaction of Dr. Taylor.

Visual and technical part

The Star Trek film series usually resembles bizarre sci-fi titles like Star Wars or A Space Odyssey in terms of set, cinematography and effects. The way home reminded me of Back to the Future with its cheerful but mobile setting. When the characters first enter San Francisco, leaving the 23rd century, it feels like you are watching a completely different movie. The only thing I regret visually is the absence of the Enterprise. However, the Klingon ship Excelsior looks impressive in the movie.
