Yes. Yes it is.

    “Okay, fine. I’ll try a movie. This one looks okay. Wait. Why are they in San Francisco? Why are they… are they stealing a fucking whale?”

        I can’t go to San Francisco without thinking about the nuclear wessels. My husband is legitimately worried that I’ll start asking random strangers about them.

        Actually - considering the amount of unsolicited (and invariably wrong) advice we got from SF locals who saw us looking at transit maps and butted in to offer some friendly assistance… I may just do that at the next visit.

        “Are you looking for Fisherman’s Warf?”
        “No.”
        “It’s just down that way!” \ “I think we’re good! Thanks for the help!”
        “Actually, we’re looking for nuclear wessels. Do you know where I can find nuclear wessels?”

        \ He’s right to be worried.

        Oh I’m not saying it isn’t. Just going with the trope of “Star Trek is deep!” and then seeing something ridiculous. Wonderfully ridiculous, but ridiculous.

        I’d say it’s the best. None of the other ones are at the top of their genres as far as action or dramatic sci-fi goes, but Star Trek IV is right up there with the best sci-fi comedies of all time.
