Other posters have indicated the best lines... but I remember sitting in the theatre with my best friend... and when the title came up, as if it were "beamed" in...

The house was packed , the crowd was juiced, and we all LOVED it! That was 27 years ago and it stands out as one of the movie-going highlights of my life. I still love this movie and it remains without question my favorite of all the Trek movies.

The Gary Seven episode (with Teri Garr!) and "Tomorrow is Yesterday" were great fun. So I loved the hook for "Voyage Home". <br />The only weak link was Catherine Hicks, who just isn't very good. OK, she's flat-out bad.

It was especially funny because one of my roommates hated it because he thought it made trek too silly, so we watched repeatedly to mess with him (it helped we were all under the influence). There's definitely laughs to be had; my personal favourite being Spock putting the Vulcan nerve pinch on the obnoxious punk rocker on the bus.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04634087887519608773noreply@blogger.com
