3 Stars Spock Lives Long & Prosper!!!
After Spock dies from radiation and dropped on the Genesis planet, he is slowly reborn! Kirk and the crew are forced to go rogue, and steal the Enterprise in order to go save him. They must deal with greedy Klingons who want to control Genesis. This isn’t one of the best sequels, but it’s pretty good! If you are a Trekkie, you’ll love STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK!!!

5 Stars The most thoughtful of the original Star Trek movies.
An under-rated ST movie in the series.

One of the few movies where the acting is quite natural and understated.

No Kirk yealling: “Khhhaaaaaannnnnn!!!!”

Not as boring/”deep” as ST1,

Not as over-acted/”loud” as ST2

Not a blatant “comedy” episode as ST4

Not as bad as ST5

Not as overly “serious” with a message as ST6

5 Stars Pure Satisfaction
Everyone should watch Star Trek II and then immediately put this in. It becomes very satisfying. I felt very content with the script and the believability of the story, though some may knock it. To me, this is the best of the films. I felt like watching it, I was being sucked into the character’s world and paying attention to their needs. I guess that is what a great film does. I think people don’t give Nimoy the credit he deserved for this movie. I mean seriously, looking back on it who else could have done it? I used to think that II was better film, but now that I am older I really appreciate this movie. I personally think it carries all of the momentum from the The Wrath of Khan over. People who give this movie a bad review, should watch II and then immediately watch this.

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

3 Stars Genesis? Only the Beginning!
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock is a jumping off point for the series like a giant diving board!

As we left our last episode, boys and girls, Khan, in a mad bid for Kirk’s destruction, set off the Genesis device and in so doing created the Genesis planet out of the dust and debris of this nebula that Kirk was trapped in. Just before that, Spock died. Yes, he sure did, and no fan boy or girl of the time could believe it. What the heck do they do now?

Sarek, Spock’s father returns with some news regarding Spock. McCoy has his part to play as a “vessel” (not to spoil too much). The film is not bad, with disobeying the Federation (what else is new) and seeing Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future) as a Klingon!

The Klingons want the secret of the Genesis device as it would make them a power to reckon with. Kirk wants Spock. Quite a problem.

As in other odd-numbered ST films, this one is not a strong one, but does tie together the Wrath of Khan with the next in the series, The Voyage Home. Directed by Leonard Nimoy and written and produced by Harve Bennett.
