My dad was a massive Trekker. From the time I could understand movies, he would break out the VHS, Lazer Disc, and later Bluray to show my sister and I Star Trek films. My child brain managed to latch onto Star Trek IV (don’t judge), meaning my sister and I wore down that VHS tape watching and rewatching it over and over in the basement. Titan Books’ upcoming book Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home The Making of the Classic Film is a celebration of the film and a detailed exploration of what went into the creation.
Josh and Mara Jose Tenuto wrote and compiled Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home The Making of the Classic Film. The book is full of fascinating trivia and behind-the-scenes look at make-up, art, special effects, and the fact that Leonard Nimoy learned first-hand how hard it was to direct and act in the same film when you start your day with several hours in the makeup chair. Loaded with pictures and concept art, the book is an enjoyable way to spend your afternoon. For some, this will be reliving a childhood memory; for others, this is an in-depth look at a film that gets a lot less love for having two whales in it and may just make you reconsider your stance.
