Summary: Average ST Film.
Review: Alone, I believe that this film could not stand as a good one. Hanging in between 2 and 4, this one is much stronger. Put the three together, this trilogy can hang with others, including Star Wars. Non-Trek fans probably wouldn't be interested, esp if they haven't seen TWOK. Trek fans might mark it as a member of the odd number curse, which is a little un-fair, since this film delivers the bridge story between 2 and 4. I think that it also has the best Star Trek film moment ever: Kirk steals the Enterprise...Great. Those expecting another Wrath of Khan will be disapointed. Those expecting another Motion Picture will be delighted. An average film.

Summary: Sucks and blows!
Review: God, this movie is painful to watch! This is a major disappointment. Picking up where the previous film ended, THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK is plotless, slow, boring, and, in general, a complete waste of film, money, time, and popcorn.Even the reincarnation of Spock at the end can't save this cinematic death-trap. I'd rather date a Klingon than watch this.

Summary: another great trek film
Review: Another great adventure with the first (one and only) generation under the command of James T Kirk. ST3 follows up the dramatic incidents in Wrath of Khan and the story is exiting with interesting elements such as the twisted Spock-infected dr Bones. For the first time in the movie-series our crew confronts Klingons. The klingon leader, is great portraited by Christopher Lloyd. The ending on Vulkan is fantastic where and the friendship between Spock and Kirk is really proved in an honest and beutiful way. One of the best. A must for Trek-fans. Well directed by mr Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy.

Review: no trek fans must miss this compelling film

Summary: Overated, dreary, badly written and poor production values
Review: This shabby conclusion to the Wrath of Khan is the film that really started the star trek motion picture curse of the odd numbered films. Sadly, the Next Generation are still plagued by it.

Summary: Outstanding pickup to "Star Trek II: The Wrate of Khan"
Review: The third movie in the Star Trek series is the second segment in the ongoing storyline that spans over three of the Star Trek movies, and is often considered to be the weakest of the three. However, I think the movie comes off quite well and stands on its own out of the large shadows of the successess of "The Wrath of Khan" and "The Voyage Home." Leonard Nimoy is brilliant in the director's chair. William Shatner turns in a solid performance as the defiant Admiral Kirk, who disobeys orders and steals the Enterprise. And he does all of this in order to save his fellow officers and friends Spock (Nimoy and several different child actors) and Dr. McCoy (DeForrest Kelley.) Christopher Lloyd is captivating as the ruthless Kruge and Robin Curtis, having the difficult job of trying to fill Kirstie Alley's shoes, does a fine job as Lt. Saavik. You'll certainly want to see the followup movie.

Summary: SPOCK LIVES!!!!!
Review: 3rd installment in movie series. Leonard Nimoy directs his fellow crew members in the FINEST ST film. Picking up after the events of the 2nd film. "KIRK" brings his battletorn starship into space-dock,where he learns that it is to be decommissioned. Later, in his quarters, "SAREK" confronts "KIRK" and chews him out for denying his son his future. He informs him that "SPOCK" was dead ONLY in body, but that his "katra" [his living,eternal soul] was still alive. Believing that "KIRK" is the host, "SAREK" mind-melds with him,and sadly discovers that he isn't. Just as he is about to leave, "KIRK" informs him that if there was so much at stake for him that "SPOCK" would have way to transform is soul into a host. Reviewing the "ENTERPRISE" computer tapes, the pair DISCOVER that "DR. McCOY" is the host. (Remember, the Vulcan mind-melded with the good doctor at the climax of the 2nd film). DISOBEYING direct orders of a Starfleet official, "KIRK" and his legendary crew ("UHURA", "SCOTTY", "CHEKOV" and "SULU") hi-jack the "ENTERPRISE", and with "BONES" in tow, travel to the forbidden planet "GENESIS" to rescue "SPOCK" before he's lost to them forever. Christopher (BACK TO THE FUTURE I, II,III) Lloyd is FANTASTIC as Klingon Commander "KRUGE". And John Larroquette (of the TV sitcom "NIGHT COURT") has a charming cameo appearance as the Klingon "MALTZ". 5 STARS once more to director Nimoy and his legendary crew members.

Summary: Check out the ships
Review: Contains the most beautiful ship exterior screen shots of all the films. I wish more film makers would show longer shots of ships like they do in this film. Check out Spacedock, it is breathtaking.

Summary: Overall, a worthy film for the 'Trek' series
Review: Don't take me as a bad Trekkie, but the Enterprise blowing up was a great scene. I can think of no other way I'd want the Enterprise to go. If it's Chistopher Lloyd you watching for, you'll see he makes a fine Klingon as Commander Kruge. You may not like what happens to him in the ending. I think Star Trek III has the best doctor McCoy role of all. And with DeForest's recent passing away, it gives that role a certain special meaning. The main plot of reviving Spock seems a little hard to believe at first, but you know Star Trek, they have a sound scientific explanation for it, which I think was rather creative. I particularly like Kirk's story in this film. He destroys his career and his loved ship to save his friend. And who can forget the demise of his son, which comes back to haunt him in Star Trek VI. Overall, Star Trek III's Pro's outweigh it's con's, Making it a fair addition to the series.

Summary: A moving study in friendship, sacrifice, and heroism
Review: This film is underrated. The effects and cinematography are beautifully realized, James Horner's score is brilliant (at appropriate times irresistibly fun, at others, chilling, or spectacular), and the storyline puts Kirk and company in the wry and unexpected but thoroughly enjoyable role of rebels risking everything to save their beloved comrade. (Spoiler alert...) Most importantly, Star Trek III takes risks, and an almost unbelievably dark turn, as Kirk's luck finally runs out and his son is murdered while he listens helplessly, and he decides to destroy the Enterprise to defeat his Klingon adversaries. (The explosion that shattered that seemingly invincible ship's primary hull rocked me back in my seat. I couldn't believe it.) The (Prokofiev-assisted) scene in which Kirk and his officers watch the cometlike trail of their ship burning in Genesis' evening sky is one of the series most memorable moments, eclipsed only by the climax: bloodied from a Klingon commander's senseless attack, and with the Genesis planet literally coming apart in flames around him, with Spock moments from death again and no ship with which to rescue him, and as Horner's score reaches its crescendo, Kirk shows us what the word "heroism" means. His love of Spock will not allow him to surrender a situation 999 people out of a thousand would consider hopeless, and he robs death once again. Moments later, as Kirk commands a stolen Klingon ship wheeling away from the dying world, vibrant scoring and ILM's spectacular explosion provide an epic counterpoint to his simple farewell to his son. "Goodbye, David." I guess you can tell that this is my favorite scene from all of Star Trek. It is a courage-giver. The denouement is a bit of an anticlimax after all of this, but moving and imbued with a sacred feeling by Horner's near-infinite organ note...then capped with a gentle moment of subdued lightness as our friends are reunited. It beats any Star Trek film done since.
