Members of the Starship Enterprise sit marooned light years away
from home with their vessel destroyed, in possession of an alien Klingon craft,
and facing a laundry list of Federation charges. When an alien probe inadvertently
begins to destroy Earth due to their inability to contact now extinct whales,
the crew travels back in time to the twentieth century to retrieve a pair of cetaceans
and end the planetary meltdown. The
Voyage Home is a well-filmed, satisfying entry with a ridiculous premise
and corny, sometimes amusing screenplay which still ultimately feels like a
prolonged episode.
