Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
good shit
It's a great family movie. Exciting and action-packed, but not violent. There's no on-screen deaths. And there's an amazing happy ending that feels earned.
My parents are Trekkies and had all the 80s movies on VHS, the whole collection together looks like the Enterprise. Pretty cool.
So much nostalgia in that little collection! I truly believe that there were no bad TOS movies. They were all great in their own ways. We go from high-concept classic slow-burn sci-fi, to a tense naval battle between brilliant captains with major consequences, to an exciting adventure story for the sake of friendship, to a family-friendly non-violent fun romp through time, to a slightly silly story that's straight out of TOS but also has some fantastic moments with our main trio, to an action-packed mystery thriller that gives our crew a heartwarming send-off.
I would re-watch any of those movies happily. Yes, even #5. It's only "bad" by TOS movie standards. It's way better than any TNG movie or any episode of Discovery or Picard. Sybok's actor deserves a lot of credit for his work. He's that best and most interesting kind of antagonist: someone who thinks he's the hero of the story, and who thinks he's doing the right thing to help others.
