I also love the article starting with that parked quote, Billie. That whole bit makes me laugh to this day. I do like Khan better, but it's close, very close, and this movie is an absolute joy to watch.<br /><br />As I was a teenager in 86 (graduated high school in 88), the setting is a personal favorite for me, and I don't feel it's cringe at all. The culture shock moments are among my favorites and there are so many moments of delight in this movie, that I don't know where to start! <br /><br />It may not be as impressive or dramatic as Khan, but it's still a great movie, and worth watching!Morellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852528242739450099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-7426529334624942162013-09-16T15:19:03.613-04:002013-09-16T15:19:03.613-04:00Billie, yeah it's a common abbreviation there....Billie, yeah it's a common abbreviation there. I lived in Utah long enough that it didn't occur to me that others might not get the connection. I always assumed it was an intentional joke on the part of the screenwriter, but maybe not. Either way, my friend and I thought it was funny.

Oddly enough, nobody else in the theater was laughing.<br /><br />A great movie.

It doesn't have the same timeless feel.<br /><br />But, this is still a great movie. So much fun to watch. And I love that the supporting cast all get their moments to shine as well.<br /><br />Just an all-around fun film.<br /><br />KatKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609424771874961444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-44224890802667139032013-09-09T08:29:48.482-04:002013-09-09T08:29:48.482-04:00While still enjoyable, I don't think this movi...While still enjoyable, I don't think this movie has aged well.<br /><br />When released in 1986, it was modern day to the viewer so you got to enjoy seeing the people from the future fumble around the things we dealt with everyday.<br /><br />However, now it's like watching any movie from 1986... mostly cringing at outdated clothes and hairstyles, while being reminded of your own awkwardness from that time (again, mostly your own bad hairstyle).<br /><br />This greatly differs from the wonderful "The City on the Edge of Forever". Most viewers now (I can assume) are too young to remember 1930! Therefore, it's much easier to enjoy the "past" since you're experiencing it for the first time along with the characters.<br /><br />Still, "The Voyage Home" is the most watched Star Trek movie in our household. My kids (all born after 1995) can't believe that crazy time known as 1986 :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-17501798490631874202013-09-08T19:33:47.007-04:002013-09-08T19:33:47.007-04:00"In fact (is it sacrilege?)

Hilarious, warm and perfect family viewing.<br /><br />But it is indeed sacrilege to say you wish it was the last, because not matter how awful V was (and it was, indeed, truly terrible), The Undiscovered Country is great.
