I just watched Star trek IV The voyage home. I could use some humor after the repair man told me they can't replace our leaking hot water tank without drilling a new vent in the house. Damn government regulations.

It's been a long time since I've seen it and to be honest the first half hour isn't very good. Too much unnecessary time spend on the aftermath of the previous movie, and time wasted on a trial that never matters. The last 20 minutes suffer from the same problem. The probe was well done, but the rest is very average.
What's in between is still full of charm and great humor. It works even better nowadays set in 1980's San Francisco, great time piece. I wish they had spend a little more time around SF, those 75 minutes were over too soon.

My favorite time travel story with the original series crew still is The city on the edge of forever, Dr McCoy accidentally altering earth's future after ending up in depression era earth.
