I'm not sure.. I thought some of the original Star Trek movies were a bit less
cerebral, even when Roddenberry was still alive (such as Star Trek 2: The Wrath
of Khan and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home). I suppose The Voyage Home had some
social commentary (Save The Whales), but still it seems to me that they tried
to put a lot of humor and action in it.
