In 1984, Leonard Nimoy boldly went where he had never gone before - into the director’s chair of a feature film. His being allowed to direct Star Trek III: The Search for Spock was part of his deal to return to the franchise, as if they had not allowed him this opportunity, the search for Spock might be ended with them… ya know… not finding him. While critics were cool on the film, audiences and fans liked it enough to make it a considerable financial success, earning $76.5 million domestically - just below the $78 million The Wrath of Khan had made. However, like the previous film, its success was limited to North America, with it only making about $10 million internationally compared to the $20 million Wrath of Khan made. No matter, like its predecessor, it was a significant hit on home video and cable, and soon plans were in the works for a fourth film which would retain Nimoy in the director’s chair. But, the director would take the series in a much different direction, emphasizing comedy over action and bringing the cast to the 20th Century. The resulting film would be pricier than usual for a Star Trek movie, but it would be a rare thing for the franchise - an international blockbuster and the highest grossing Trek film of all time - even surpassing Star Trek - The Motion Picture. Yes, folks, the time has come to revisit Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
