One of my earliest memories is trying to sneak downstairs to watch this movie on TV at about four years old. It remains one of the films that has structured how I think about everything.

On the "All I Need to Know About Life I Learned from Star Trek" poster I had, one of the items was "even in our own world, sometimes we are aliens," and that's one of the things that always stuck out to me--the Enterprise crew, collectively, have spent a hell of a lot of time in San Francisco, but this San Francisco isn't their San Francisco. I thought about this movie a lot when I lived abroad for the first time; in its own way, the movie is very accurate at portraying that kind of dislocation.

And of course in the end they go home and save the whales, Earth, and the day, so what more could you ask for, really. Sometimes you can go home again.
