Considered a dark comedy, this campy fare gave the anti-science crowd a reason to watch a Star Trek movie.
Where Wrath of Khan is considered the best of the movies, this is the most popular. No need to relate to an episode that first aired in the 1960s, the simple time travel mechanism gets rehashed.
Beware the rubric movie that ticks the boxes for the year it was made, it won't age well.
Does it make any sense that 23rd century scientists and linguists can't replicate whale sounds even though they can replicate actual food? Don't care!
Why wales? Go big or go home! The environment!
Is the late 20th century so obscure? Most people have a fairly good idea of what life was like 300 years ago and that's without computers that react to voice commands. I'm looking at you Scotty.
The science that makes Star Trek plots plausible and thought provoking are replaced with Druidic paganism and messages worthy of discussion only at the fourth grade level, most people already got the lesson before the title sequence.
