I visited the aquarium just to see the spots where they filmed the movie. I thought there’d be a plaque on the wall but there was nothing. Even the employees had no idea Star Trek had been filmed there. I was shocked. But I was pretty excited to walk down the same stairs and stand near the same “water tank” that Shatner and Nimoy did!

I watched The Voyage Home on VHS as a child. The one scene that I always remembered was Kirk and Spock walking near the Golden Gate Bridge. It's a distinctive shot in a specific location, and I knew that someday I'd see it in person. A couple of decades later, I spent my days off hiking, photographing, and wandering around San Francisco. I eventually sought out that precise location and took one of my best photos. And I never would've known about that location had not seen this movie.

I actually enjoy Kirk in this iteration. He acts more human, like a Dad.

I still adore Kirk's reaction to seeing Spock in the whale tank.

Imagine what this film would have been like if the probe wanted to communicate with Tyrannosauruses instead of whales.

My brothers and I went to watch this downtown.  I was a few months shy of six years old, and very frightened by the opening sequence, but when the Probe tilted downwards, my eldest brother leaned over to my ear and whispered: "It's a giant turd!"

After that, I wasn't afraid.

I recall very fondly how the audience was a riot of laughter.  The intensity of the slingshot around the sun was thrilling.  The heads coming out of the clouds was very surreal.  Spock swimming in the whale tank really stuck with me, and the candles in the restaurant scene reminded me of a chicken restaurant my family would eat at from time to time.

I've not watched this one in about 10 years, so I guess it's time for a rewatch.

My favourite scene is the Scotty and Bones one in the glass factory. Scotty talking into the mouse like a microphone and then when he's forced to use the keyboard he says "how quaint". Then when Bones questions the ethics of giving the manager the formula for transparent aluminium and Scotty says "how do you know he didn't invent it" and Bones facial expression. Superb comic timing and performances from everyone.

"Well, double dumb ass on you !!"
Admiral James T. Kirk 1986

Voyage Home was great that they didn't need an Enterprise for the story so the Klingon ship was a natural continuation and it appearing above the whale ship is one of my favourite shots of the film.

Best Star Trek movie ever made!
Love it how Spock can't swear properly with colorful metaphors.
Lol!!

My grandparents and I went to go see this when it came out, and it was so much fun. To this day I'll always remember The Voyage Home because of that.

it's a stick in the heart every time I hear someone call the motion picture "sluggish" or "boring"

I have to strongly disagree with the criticism of the music. This soundtrack is amazing and fits the movie PERFECTLY.

A great time to have lived. To have Nimoy, Mark Lenard, and Jane Wyatt together again in a classic Star Trek story

Having Eddie Murphy in this would've been like having Richard Pryor in Superman 3...

Wrath of Khan maybe the better movie, but I always felt Voyage Home was the better Star Trek movie. By far my favorite entry in the series.

This one is so special to me, I loved it as a kid, and still revisit it. And it still works, the plot is bananas, but it works. I love it.

For a film that's 36 years old it holds up pretty well.  That quote by Oliver got me thinking.  When we watch films like Body Heat (1981), The Maltese Falcon, Gone With the Wind, The Women (1939) or Auntie Mame we never use statements like the Oliver quote.  Why?  Because those films don't rely on PEOPLE.  The performers (talented, and convincing), the writing (engaging and taut), and directing.  Sure, lighting and set design, costumes and so many other film aspects count, but it the first 3 that really mark these films out as classics.  These days we rely so heavily on cgi that in 10 more years people will be looking at the Infinity Saga and focusing on the cgi--does it hold up?--instead of on the talent of the performers, the writing and directors.  I think we lost something.

Probably my favorite Star Trek movie (tied with Wrath of Kahn). Loved the Christmas music theme, loved the overall pace and the message. I remember going to San Francisco back in 2019 and watched the movie the night before my flight. I also packed my Monster Maroon and wore it all around the city. I even cosplayed as the "Puck on the Bus", too. In some ways, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was the launching pad for Star Trek: The Next Generation. I even loved the small orbital space tugs; some of my favorite ships in the franchise. As someone who just graduated from film school and a fan of making model spaceships, boats, and airplanes, I was immediately in love the miniatures and models they used for the sets. It's sad that we don't do models anymore.

I have to say that in my taste the score works really well, very uplifting, without it we may had a very different movie. Nothing memorable, but fresh, simple and perfect for this particular adventure.
