Star Trek IV: The

Voyage Home

DVD, Blu-ray,Prime Video

It might seem strange to jump

intoafilm series somewhere

in the middle, but the fourth

of the originalStar Trekfilms is

so much fun, it’s agreat place

to start (and you don’t need

to know the characters or

back story beforeyou press

play). Released in 1986, this

is ascience-fiction adventure

with an environmental tale

at the heart of it. It takes the

characters from the futuristic

Star TrekTV series andplants

them back in the1980s.

It’s really funny,and

anexcellent film to start

with if you’relooking to

explorethis long-running

and popular series.
