Summary: Star Trek III: My favorite!
Review: I haven't yet bought the DVD version of this fine movie, but I have watched the VHS version until my copies have all been reduced to tatters. One thing I haven't read in other reveiwers' comments is that this is the ultimate Star Trek movies' take on love. Mr. Nimoy's perspective on the freindship and love our heroes deal with during these trying events is exactly the reason I've spent thirty six years being addicted to Star Trek. If you wouldn't sacrifice everything for the people you care about, then what are they (and you) worth? Once again, James Kirk has shown us a proper path to justified existence. It's not about a battle, or a threat to human existence. It's all about the people we care about, and what we are willing to do (and lose) to keep them safe. I love this movie more than any of the other "classic" Trek films, because it is the most human of them all. Every time I watch it, I feel reaffirmed in my dedication to compassion, love, and loyalty. Mr. Nimoy deserves great credit for his work, as does Mr. Bennet. "Greater love hath no man than that he would lay down his life for a freind".
This movie has inspired me for years.

Summary: Great Star Trek Sequel
Review: ... "ST III: The Search For Spock" is a great movie and it has everything that a Star Trek [lover] could want: humor, action, adventure, emotion (especially for Kirk...poor guy), solid acting, tension, shock value(the scene with the Enterprise and the Klingon boarding party) and best of all hope and resurrection. I personally love this film, as I find it to be a little bit darker in tone than "ST II." Plus it has Christopher Lloyd in a fantastic over-the-top performance as Kruge, a rogue Klingon commander who enflicts some serious emtional damage on Kirk. Composer James Horner continues his string of soundtrack hits here, improving and adapting the score that he used from "ST II." A great extension of its predescessor, "Search For Spock" continues the wonderful tradition of Star Trek(in my opinion rather proudly) and should be welcomed for not only being a great Star Trek film, but a great sci-fi film as well. Oh, and stop the comparisons!!!!

Summary: A solid addition to Star Trek
Review: STIII:TSFS is a fine addition to the ST universe. After the chaos of STII (don't get me wrong, I love that movie) it was appropriate to Star Trek to have number III slow down a little bit. The scope of the movie is about the same as Wraith of Khan but it really turns inward and deep to expand on the final moments of Kirk and Spock in the death seen of STII. I like the emotion and depth of this movie. I cannot write a review of this movie without commenting on the music. Jerry Goldsmith out-did himself with the first movie and James Horner had a difficult task to add-to and change the music enough to be unique but fit well with the series. Personally I love the themes of STII but I really didn't think they were fleshed out as well as they could have been. Mr. Horner got it right in STIII. STI and STIII really standout to me as great movie music. I think it really helped Mr. Horner to have another movie to expand on what he had done previously. It seems the music matured with story. The motif of the Mind Meld between Sarak and Kirk is mesmorizing. The percussion used for the Klingon themes is so powerful. The movie is truly enhanced with this music.

Summary: "The needs of the One outway the needs of the many."
Review: I like this Star Trek III:The Search for Spock Special Collector's Edition! It gives new meaning to this beloved Star Trek film. Adimiral Kirk (William Shatner) riskes his own life to save his lost friend Captain Spock (Leonard Nimoy). Kirk finds out from Spock's Father Sarek (Mark Lenard) that Spocks Katra is missing. Sarek tells Kirk that in Star Trek II, Spocks body was near death but his living spirit, his Katra must still be alive. Kirk and Sarek findout that Dr. McCoy (Deforest Kelly) was the one that carried Spock's Katra. Sarek persades Kirk to bring both Spock and McCoy to Vulcan so that his mind and body can be put back together. Admiral Kirk is under direct orders from Commander Starfleet not to go to the Genisis planet. Of Course, Kirk disregards the orders and steals the Starship Enterprise with the help from the main crew. Kirk confronts the Klingons and the main Villian in this film is Kruge (Christopher Lloyd) Kirk and Kruge battle to the death but Kirk loses many things in this film. Kirk loses his son David. he is also forced to self destruct the his ship, The Starship USS Enterprise! I like the commentary by director Leonard Nimoy and text commentary by Micheal Okuda on Disc 1. They give more helpful information on how this Star Trek Movie was created. I enjoyed this DVD a-lot and the new interviews with William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Harve Bennett, Christopher Lloyd and Robin Curtis On Disc 2 are great! The Movie trailer and other special features on Disc 2 are good too! Buy it! Highest possible Recommendation!

Summary: The Search For Spock ...Finds 5 Stars!!
Review: The teary & emotional ending of the classic SSII - THE WRATH OF KHAN (so classic that the film is mentioned in an episode of SEINFELD...as Jerry and George get choked up remembering the film) continues in THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK. Was it possible for the filmakers to outdo one of the most famous death scenes and eulogies in sci-fi film history? Well, almost! The two scenes are used to open 'SEARCH' and the movie viewer is reminded of the emotional power of 'WRATH' and what's in store for 'SEARCH'. The sequel delivers with continuity (minus Bibi Besch, and Kristie Alley as Lt. Savik is replaced by Robin Curtis) as "Genesis" is again one of the subjects of the plot. The crew must race back to the Genesis planet to retrieve Spock's remains and to go back to the planet Vulcan to deliver his "essence" placed in the mind of Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) by mind melding with Spock before Spock's death. . At the same time, a Klingon crew have found out about Genesis and they too rush to the Genesis planet. Again, as in 'WRATH' another great cat and mouse game, with Captain Kirk (Shatner) and crew, this time against the Klingons, ensues over Genesis and this time, The Enterprise is destroyed - -... Overall, THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK is great film in the STAR TREK mythos, directed by Spock himself (Leonard Nimoy) with the continued emotional depth started in WRATH OF KHAN.

Summary: A great continuation
Review: Star Trek III The Search for Spock is a wonderful, middle movie to the more or less trilogy of II, III and IV. I was a little disappointed that Kirstie Allie couldn't pick up where she left off in the role of Saavik. Robin Curtis does do a very good job though. Christopher Lloyds Klingon Commander is absolutely Klingon through and through. All of the original cast members are true to their characters. Overall, Star Trek III is not the best of the original six, but it's most certainly not the worst either. A wonderful story that, like all the rest, I've watched more times than I can remember.

Summary: Helps Fill The Gap Between The Two Best Trek Movies
Review: A lot of people say this movie started the odd-numbered curse of Trek movies. What I like about this film though is the consistency because it takes place immediately after Wrath of Khan and right before The Voyage Home. It has a lot of action and introduced Trek fans with a new look for the Klingons along with a new ship. While I didn't think Christopher Lloyd was a very threatening-sounding Klingon, I still think the Klingons make good villains in this movie. What is unfortunate about this movie is that Kirstie Alley is replaced by a pretty bad actress, the dialog between her and Kirk's son is pretty awful, and some of the sets of the Genesis planet are clearly shot on a soundstage with a matte painting behind them. So while the story is pretty consistent as part two of the Trek II-III-IV trilogy, other parts of the movie are not. Overall it's an enjoyable movie though, and it definitely should be viewed as part of the Trek trilogy.

Summary: Just another Star Trek movie!
Review: Begins after Wrath of Khan, Spock's casket fell on Genesis bringing life back into Spock and the crew of the Enterprise is destoned to find him. Standard sequel that was needed in order to make more Star Trek filcks. Mostly dull and needs a better script. Overall it's not the best ,but what would Star Trek be without Mr. Spock.

Summary: Slow, but essential to the trilogy.
Review: Star Trek III takes a lot of flak for being slow-moving and a bit pedantic and, hey, in many respects this is fair criticism. I choose instead to focus on two things: 1. The "Star Trek Trilogy" (Movies II, III, and IV encompass one long mission) is a great story, and this movie is a fine bridge between the Khan encounter and the time-travel mission to Earth. 2. (SPOILER ALERT FOR THE THREE PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE) This movie contains two of the most entertaining happenings in the Star Trek universe -- the theft of the Enterprise and the destruction of the ship. The new DVD will finally make the movie, rough on both widescreen VHS and the earlier DVD, look refreshed. The Search for Spock isn't the greatest voyage in the Trek universe, but it's a good ride and serves its purpose well. Recommended.
