Watching ST4:TVH right now

Sector 7

Vice Admiral
Admiral
I just got the dvd from Netflix today. Have only seen it on VHS before... nice Menu...
If anyone has comments or tips on what to look for... post away... it will be like watching it with friends. :vulcan:
 
I'm really enjoying the interaction between Scotty & McCoy. :rommie: It also reminds me that we lost 2 very good actors who's chemistry on screen was fantastic!
This is the Star Trek I grew up on and miss today. :vulcan:
 
:vulcan:I have to stop to feed mom (she's invalid). I'm paused where Gillian drops Kirk off after dinner. :vulcan:
 
Even now I love this movie... as much as when I first saw it in the theater. It was an evening well spent.
Thanks for the comments all.
 
I watched it myself the other night, I enjoy it very much each time, it's a completely different kind of Trek movie but still maintains a sense of Star Trek. I love it :D
"One damn minute Admiral"
 
I just watched this a week ago and I gotta say I think I laugh harder every time I watch it. Such a fun, light-hearted movie, very enjoyable.

"They like you very much, but they are not 'the hell' your whales."
 
Great movie -- and the whole point of the "nuclear wessels in A-LA-ME-DA" is still just priceless to this day. :lol:

That and the "Will you all break up? You look like a cadet review!!" line... :guffaw:

Cheers,
-CM-
 
"What the hell were you doing?" "Attempting the hell to communicate..." And swearing in front of a nun!!!
 
That film had an Ocean's Eleven feel to it. The actors were in on the gag, and enjoying themselves immensely, but they didn't spoil the fun for the audience by letting on overtly. Very deft touch; it's hard to create that atmosphere without coming across as smarmy. See, for example, Ocean's Twelve or Ocean's Thirteen.

I very much like the TVH Kirk, as opposed to the bombastic one of Generations. Shatner is a better comic than dramatic actor, as Priceline has figured out.
 
I loved this movie as well. My favorite scene is when Kirk accidentally goes out into traffic and this guy goes: hey watch where you're going, you dumb ass! And Kirk says: Well, dubble dumb ass on you!!!!!!! :lol: I think he also starts throwing gang signs at him too...HILARIOUS!!!!! :guffaw: And the part where Kirk looks around trying to find Spock..and he's in the whale tank mind melding with those whales!!!! :lol:
 
Agreed with all the comments... it's one of those movies who's comic aspects wear well with time. So many of the character interactions we always loved about the cast are still there in this movie.
I also believe this movie spawned more quotable lines than any other. Spock's learning of colorful vernacular actually made me clean up my own language! My grandmother always said, "Foul language is the last resort of people who can't use proper English." She had a good point, IMO.
 
I'm also watching this movie right now on HBO Family on my TV. :) I was just stating in another thread just how much I enjoyed this movie and how much I loved the comical reliefs of McCoy and Spock. :) I am wondering if this movie helped to influence the saving of the whales thing later on???
Favorite parts of the movie: The punk rocker on the radio. :D:D Spock gave him the vulcan neck pinch to shut his ass up! :D:D
When Kirk and party get to San Francisco and accidentally run into a taxi cab:
cab driver: hey watch where you're going, you dumb ass!
Kirk: well, double dumb ass on you!!!! :D:D:D:D :lol:
And when they were at that institute and Spock was in the water mind melding with those whales. The look on Kirk's face when Spock was missing was priceless!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care what anybody else says about this movie..I really enjoyed it. It's all positive and about saving the Earth and humanity! :D
