How on Earth can they save the future? Whales... two whales. That's what this movie has to work with, it's not a spoiler but it certainly is convoluted. Despite that, however, this movie clicks. As I sit here and think on it too, this may be my favorite Star Trek movie I've seen. It has a nice blend of heart and humor, it has stakes, and it even has a bit of environmental commentary to boot. The entire crew is top-notch here and Bones may perhaps have some of the best lines in this whole thing. While I can get behind heavy dramatic outings for Trek like Wrath and some of the great TOS episodes, it's when the franchise decides to let loose and have fun that I tend to enjoy myself more and want to return and give it another watch. While this is technically the finale of a three-film story arc, it does suffice as a standalone if one so chooses and one should.
