I guess I am the only viewer that did not think that this was one of the better Star Trek movies. V and VI were much more entertaining because the storyline in this is plodding, at best. It does not get up much momentum at all. Like one viewer said, the pace is so slow, the story is dead in the water.
I did not care for the fact that the silly probe did not seem to have any purpose but to make annoying noises throughout almost the whole movie. The destruction of earth because of some old probe was really a hokey, contrived plot. I loved the whales, but going to rescue whales from the 20th Century simply to have them "speak" to an old probe did not make much sense to me. It did not even make any sense in the end, either.
Catherine Hicks' performance was so over the top, she became really annoying several times. I suppose her range was never all that broad anyway, but I did not end up ever liking her character, and she was supposed to be one of the "good guys" in the film. Perhaps the script did not have enough substance to make her more than a plastic character.
You have to love Chekov and his "nuclear wessels." Although that was dumb, too, at least it was entertaining. Of course, who wouldn't smile at "too much LDS"? Overall, not too great because it was so slow moving and not suspenseful. At least some of the other movies had some suspense.
