My first Star Trek film I saw in theaters. Has a great story. Great to see the Klingons are the main villains. Has a great cast.

MCT:October 29, 2008Picking up where "The Wrath of Khan" left off, McCoy seems to be going mad, the Enterprise is being retired, Kirk mourns the loss of Spock and his son Dr. David Marcus is off exploring his newly created Genesis planet with the lovely Vulcan vixen Saavik (exit Kirstie Alley, enter Robin Curtis). Kirk then finds out from Sarek (Mark Lenard, who had a brief, unrecognizable role in the opening of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" as an ill fated Klingon Commander and played a Romulan before playing Spock's dad) catches up with Kirk and tells him that there's a chance at resurrecting Spock, who's mind and spirit are housed in McCoy's brain while his body is on Genesis. Feeling obligated to return the favor for saving them all at the end of #2, Kirk and the gang hijack the Enterprise and rush towards the Genesis planet to rescue Spock "in whatever form he may still be alive." Meanwhile, a bodily resurrected and rapidly re-aging Spock has been found by Saavik and David and they are stranded on Genesis after their ship is destroyed by Klingon Commander Kruge (Christopher Lloyd) and he comes looking for them in hopes of unlocking the secrets of the Genesis project, which he thinks could be used as a weapon against his people. Who will survive?
Considered by some to be trash and by others to be the only good odd numbered Star Trek film, this is a sufficiently entertaining bit of science fiction yarn that continues following the theme of what happens when you mess with mother nature. Good performances as usual, with Lloyd giving one of his best as the Klingon Commander Kruge, who becomes oddly sympathetic in light of his blood thirsty actions when you consider that he was just looking out for his own brood and was willing to spare the crew of the USS Grissom. Shatner's brawl with Lloyd is also fun to watch, and the film still has that great James Horner music. Don't miss Shatner kicking Lloyd in the face shouting "I... have HAD... enough of... YOU!"
Robin Curtis is a capable Saavik. As a bit of trivia, Saavik apparently engaged in sexual intercourse with Spock while he was going through his aging phases and, as part of an idea never utilized in the films or even in the spin off series, Saavik became pregnant with Spock's child, which was originally why she was supposed to stay on Vulcan in "Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home". -

Many people cite Star Trek III as the exception to the Even/Odd rule, but I think it fits well in the Odd club. The movie isn?t bad by any means, but I think it?s undeniably a step down from Star Trek II. Basically, I just think the whole thing is kind of uninspired and perfunctory. Basically, the movie seems to exist for no reason other than to explain Spock back to life. Granted, they didn?t really have any other choice, but they could have done it in a more interesting way. That said, there?s no part of the movie that I really take much of an issue with, there?s no big flaw and all the elements seem to work fine. The whole thing is a fun little episodic adventure that bridges the series together in a perfectly competent but un-ambitious way.

MCT:October 24, 2008A direct continuation of the last flick we have all the stars on point as they attempt to claim back one of their own. This really feels like a wrap up to the last movie and less of it's own story. I like the crew having to steal the ship but after the space battle it feels like it loses momentum.
A watch. -
MCT:September 15, 2008Perhaps the best story of the first three this is an engaging and imaginative film directed by Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy. The characters really start to form and come alive and continue to throughout the rest of the films. A simple plot makes it feel small yet the conciseness of it makes it very good.

not the best star trek film, but certainly not the worst. it was a shame to bring spock back though after the brilliant send-off he recieved at the end of the previous film.
