Star Trek III: The Search for Spock: Don't Get Me Wrong, I Like Spock...

by AliventiAsylum AliventiAsylum is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Mar 18 '01
Pros: special effects are great, story not as bad as I remembered
Cons: Saavik recast, killing off Kirk's son
...but I was really upset with this movie for a long time.

Star Trek lore has it that Leonard Nimoy himself wanted Spock killed off in The Wrath of Khan and the writers followed through on it - sort of. Supposedly, at the...

Spock is Dead. Long Live Spock!

by JediKermit JediKermit is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jul 06 '01
Pros: Establishes the crew beyond their shipboard setting, comedy, special effects
Cons: Establishes the Klingons as THE villains for the next 4 movies, not enough Spock
What would you do for a friend?

I may have seen the last 40 minutes of this movie more than any other movie. Ever. My brother and I (we're kind of like Frasier and Niles Crane, but much much geekier) recorded "Star Trek III" when it was on...

"The word is no. I am therefore going anyway..."

by alexdg1 alexdg1 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jul 08 '04
Pros: Good story, wonderful villain (Kruge), nifty effects and score.
Cons: Modest budget shows more in this movie than on Star Trek II.
After the success of Nicholas Meyer's Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, it soon became apparent that the Trek franchise could continue, with or without Spock. Despite rumors to the contrary, Leonard Nimoy had never stipulated in his contract for Star ...

CLASSIC FINAL VOYAGE OF ENTERPRISE I, STAR TREK III AND THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK

by Granniemose , Jan 05 '03
Pros: The good old days are revived
Cons: They need a little more resuscitation
OK, Is it my interest in space travel, or is it nostalgia? Is it because I was a captive audience when Star Trek was a TV series? Is it because my oldest son was and is a fan of Star Trek and Gene Roddenberry? To be honest, I don’t know –...

When the Needs of the One Outweigh the Needs of The Many

by Bruguru, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Apr 29 '06
Pros: Great effects, good continuity, decent acting.
Cons: Robin Curtis as Saavik, not quite as good as II and IV.
Star Trek fans are a curious lot. After their beloved TV series was canceled in 1967, they protested, wrote NBC to restore the show, and, when that didn’t work, stumped for a big screen version of their favorite Sci-fi adventure. When they got that ...

Leonard Nimoy’s Star Trek III 1984, Third Time is the Charm Write off.

by artbyjude Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 05 '03
Pros: The Old crew, music isn't bad, a few of the one-liners
Cons: The story, the pacing, the pain of growing older, the pain, the pain, the pain
THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK

****spoiler alert****SPOILER ALERT***spoiler alert****

Kirk- you do this you'll never sit in the captain's chair again!

by sadgit Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 06 '05
Pros: completes the circle, authentic characterisation
Cons: violent, slow, could have had more action and confrontation
It is the 23rd century and the starship Enterprise, under Admiral James T. Kirk, limps home to Earth, battle-scarred but triumphant after their fight to the death with the galactic terrorist Khan Noonien Singh and his band of ...

Star Trek: The Seach for Spock should have stayed 'unfound'

by quitesimply , Jun 16 '08
Pros: Hmmmm....a couple of good action sequences.
Cons: Disjointed, low budget, illogical captain.
With such an ambivalent title for the third movie (do you sense a little sarcasm there) that really doesn’t leave much to your imagination, you ponder how the crew of the Enterprise will manage to find and save Spock’s soul. After two movies, ...

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock -- Will He Forever Rest in Peace?

by sweetcece Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Oct 30 '01
Pros: Intense emotional expression of characters
Cons: Too violent, in my personal opinion
Most people who love the original Star Trek television series and the subsequent movies were in a state of shock after the airing of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In that film, one of the main characters, Mr. Spock, died while rescuing the...

Pros: Continuity, effects, level of character

Star Trek III: The Search For Spock" succeeds as a perfect film when combined with its predecessor. That is, the ideal way to experience this is to sit down for a night with "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn" (reviewed at: ...

Good continuation of story from Star Trek 2

by the_mow , Aug 05 '06
Pros: Performances from most of the cast, good lead villain, story
Cons: lead villain only a one-shot appearance, some special effects don't hold up, character development
Not long after the funeral of "Spock" (Leonard Nimoy) and the reassignment of most of the "Enterprise" training crew, the Federation flag ship is on her way back to Spacedock for decommissioning. "Chief Medical Officer Leonard McCoy" (the late ...

Oh Spock Where Art Thou?

by bonsi6337 , May 16 '06
Pros: The movies are getting better
Cons: None if you like Star Trek
Yes I know this is my third Star Trek review in a row but I am determined - if hubby insists on making me watch the films, then I am going to share my opinions with all my fellow reviewers here! This can be acquired on the net for just a few dollars ...

"I have been, and always will be, your friend."

by thepremier , Feb 07 '02
Pros: Christopher Lloyd, visual effects.
Cons: Nimoy is behind camera, not in front, and lack of crew involvement.
”He’s not really gone, if we find a way to remember him…”

From the shadow of the wrath of Khan and the birth of a new planet and system, our heroes return to Earth weak from battle and cheerless from the loss of their beloved Captain...

"One. One, A."

by thewasp , May 28 '04
Pros: "One. One, A. Two, B."
Cons: "One, B. Two, B. Three."
"Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" takes all of the principal characters rather beyond the final frontier, to which, at the beginning, we hear Leonard Nimoy offering the same paean that opened every episode of the original series. Spock, for one, ...

This movie is totally logical captain

by SimonCook , Sep 05 '01
Pros: greatly improved on the first two movies.
Cons: May not appeal to the mass public.
Star Trek must now be the most successful movie series of all time. Jaws had four movies; Star Wars had 4; Rocky had 5; Star Trek now has 9!

As the series progressed, the effects got better and the story lines improved thus enticing more and...
