A space probe is approaching Earth. Its requests are causing great havoc. They can not be answered. That is unless Kirk and his crew can go back in time to fetch the Intended parties. Of all of the post-series original movies, this one captures the essence of the series best. Yes it carries on important message, as That is the purpose of sci-fi. The technology is consistent with the series. And the charters conform to type. But what makes this movie stand out is the character interaction. You have seen it many times in episodes like [Star Trek - The Original Series, Episode 28: "The City on the Edge of Forever" (1966).] Oh, you say That was history but it what so love, not humor. OK how about "Spocko" and Kirk trying to drive in the twenties [Star Trek - The Original Series, Episode 49: "A Piece of the Action" (1966).] Yes you say there are exceptions but it would never happen on the Enterprise. What little you know. [Star Trek - The Original Series, Episode 42: "The Trouble with Tribbles" (1966)] and there are quite a few more examples. I will not bring up all the fun scenes as it is more fun to watch them unfold. There is a lot of trivia did make this film interesting. What I found interesting what the scenes at the Institute in Alameda, Because I was there and it is really the Monterey Aquarium.
