Movie Reviews of Star Trek III - The Search for Spock

Movie Review: Spock Need Brain!
Summary: 4 Stars

The Good Things
*Lots of good special effects and action . Includes some really big epic scenes, such as the Enterprise self-destructing, and planet Genesis exploding.
*Filming style is good.
*Storyline is not bad. Includes lots of dramatic scenes and some good funny comedy.
*Characters are not bad. They aren't as great as the last film, but they have their moments.
*Writing is not bad; lots of good lines.
*Music is good (practically the same themes as in the last film).

The Bad Things
*Seems short, sweet, and simple.
*Oh, did Kirk's son really have to die?

Although this film seems shorter and weaker, it is essential viewing for the series. It boasts some of the biggest action scenes, and has some very dramatic parts. Not to mention, a lot of funny parts too. It's definately a lot of fun.

The one-disc version had okay video and sound quality. The two-disc version has good quality, and contains a number of featurettes and trailers.

Summary of Star Trek III - The Search for Spock

You didn't think Mr. Spock was really dead, did you? When Spock's casket landed on the surface of the Genesis planet at the end of Star Trek II, we had already been told that Genesis had the power to bring "life from lifelessness." So it's no surprise that this energetic but somewhat hokey sequel gives Spock a new lease on life, beginning with his rebirth and rapid growth as the Genesis planet literally shakes itself apart in a series of tumultuous geological spasms. As Kirk is getting to know his estranged son (Merritt Butrick), he must also do battle with the fiendish Klingon Kruge (Christopher Lloyd), who is determined to seize the power of Genesis from the Federation. Meanwhile, the regenerated Spock returns to his home planet, and Star Trek III gains considerable interest by exploring the ceremonial (and, of course, highly logical) traditions of Vulcan society. The movie's a minor disappointment compared to Star Trek II, but it's a--well, logical--sequel that successfully restores Spock (and first-time film director Leonard Nimoy) to the phenomenal Trek franchise...as if he were ever really gone. With Kirk's willful destruction of the U.S.S. Enterprise and Robin Curtis replacing the departing Kirstie Alley as Vulcan Lt. Saavik, this was clearly a transitional film in the series, clearing the way for the highly popular Star Trek IV. --Jeff Shannon
