I saw this movie first when I was a kid, so I knew it was one of the most appropriate for my kids to see. Outside of a few relatively mild curse-words (d*amn, a$$, etc.) it was perfect. The message of saving the whales for the future of humanity is very positive, as is the comeraderie of the crew of the Enterprise and their willingness to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.

12 and up??? Really? So "It's okay to make out on your bed in your underwear" is what we want our kids believing???
The commercial, alone, is unacceptable for my 12 year old. She is very interested in "relationships" and it is not helpful to have unmarried couples, in their underwear, "making out" on a bed. How do we, as parents, convince our kids that they should "wait" when nearly every show, implies 1st date sex???

STAR TREK IV is a good movie, and is appropriate for preteens and up. Outside of some tense scenes, language is the only thing wrong with the movie. There are several "a*s"s, "s**t"s, and "d**n"s. Spock uses "hell" in almost every phrase when he thinks it is appropriate to curse on Earth "ex: They told us the hell to come back to Earth". A man flips another off.

This star trek movie is like almost all of the other star treks. The only main Difference is the the social behavier because there is alot more swearing. The message is also very interesting because a probe is sent to earth to see if there are any whales on the planet. But there aren't any, so Kirk goes back in time to get a whale. Kirk gets the whale for two reasons. First all the have been hunted to extiction, this is the message: save the whales, and to save the the planet.
