Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home review

72. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Rewatch. A strange probe has arrived at Earth, draining power and evaporating the oceans. Spock quickly determines that only an extinct species could respond to it. Thus, Kirk and the former Enterprise senior officers go back in time to get some whales. The fish out of water comedy was done very well. Especially with Kirk and Spock’s interactions with Gillian. The environmental messaging wasn’t heavy handed at all. Overall a rather good film. 9/10.

Aladdin (2019) review

73. Aladdin (2019)
Rewatch. This story of the ‘Diamond in the rough’ also holds up. The genie was portrayed well enough, as was Princess Jasmine. However, some aspects suffered due to the adaptation to live action (mostly related to Jafar, but it didn’t really detract from his villainy), but not many. It is still rather good, with early foreshadowing that pays off towards the end. Aladdin may be much the same, but other characters are either further developed or are different enough. Overall, it was a good film.
