Montalban and Shatner are at the top of their games, effortlessly owning every scene they’re in, yet providing the perfect counter for each other. Picking up the threads of The Original Series episode “Space Seed”, Khan is a retelling of Moby Dick as the genetically superior Khan chases his white whale, Admiral James T. Secondly, if you’re only going to watch a single Trek film, this is the one.

Chekov asking anyone if they know where the “nuclear wessels” are, Scotty cooing “Hello, computer” into a mouse, Kirk yelling “Double dumbass on you!” to an angry driver – it’s all immensely charming and genuinely funny. The ecological message wasn’t exactly subtle, but Voyage isn’t preachy. The crew of the Enterprise travel back to 1980’s San Francisco to snatch a mating pair of humpback whales and return them to the future, preventing the unanswered probe from destroying the planet. An alien probe is trying to communicate with Earth, but the only creature that could respond, the humpback whale, is long since extinct. It eases off the sci fi, instead going for a classic fish-out-of-water scenario.

It has interpersonal conflict, heroics, hubris, and a brilliant reveal about V’ger’s true nature. The Enterprise is the only ship within intercept range of the cloud, because how else is Kirk going to have an excuse to take over command? The Motion Picture shows its age more than most of the other films of the franchise, but was a perfect vehicle to move the Enterprise and her crew from the small screen to the theater. The plot is pure Trek: An energy cloud housing a living machine is headed for Earth, destroying everything in its wake. The ponderous pacing and pure 70s-ness of the costumes makes The Motion Picture a slog, but at least it’s a spectacular slog.

At no point is a viewer not acutely aware that this movie had to happen to get Spock back on the Enterprise, and it almost isn’t worth it. You could generously call it an homage to Trek’s humble beginnings, but it’s very strange after the lush visuals of Khan. Also, the entire film looks bizarrely cheap.

Thus begins a “how do we get Spock’s consciousness back into his newly reborn body” reverse-heist film that is crammed full with awkward moments. After his sacrifice saves the Enterprise from certain destruction, Spock’s casket is shot into space, eventually settling on the Genesis planet. On the plus side, it has Christopher Lloyd as a Klingon.
