Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
jacobjohntaylor1 This is a great movie. It is better then the TV show. It is also better then the first 2 movie. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. Star Trek V the final frontier is better. Still this is a great movie. See it.
Tweekums Following on from the events of 'The Wrath of Khan' the crew of the Enterprise have returned to Space Dock and it looks as if they will be going their separate ways; Scotty has been transferred to a new ship, the Enterprise is due to be decommissioned and Dr McCoy is behaving strangely. It turns out that before Spock died he mind-melded with McCoy and now his consciousness is in McCoy's mind. Spock's father tells Kirk that he must get both McCoy and Spock's body back to Vulcan.There is a major problem though; Spock's body is on Genesis and the only ship allowed near there is the research vessel monitoring the planet. Kirk, along with McCoy, Scotty, Sulu and Chekov steal the Enterprise and head to Genesis. While this is going on a Klingon commander has learnt of Genesis and heads there hoping to get the data on the project which he believes could be used as the ultimate weapon. By the time the Enterprise arrives at Genesis the Klingon's have destroyed the research ship and captured three people on the surface; Saavik, Kirk's son David and a young Spock! Kirk and his crew will have to think fast if they are to rescue Spock; not only are the Klingons threatening to destroy the Enterprise but Spock is aging at a rapid pace just as the Genesis planet is undergoing rapid evolution and becoming unstable.After the really impressive 'Wrath of Khan' this might seem a bit disappointing but it still has some fine moments. The Klingons can usually be relied on to be good villains and the fact their leader, Kruge, is played by Christopher Lloyd is just a bonus. The death of Spock was one of Star Trek's most moving moments but it isn't a huge surprise that this iconic character would ultimately return. The story is solid enough and includes a real surprise when Kirk must make a sacrifice if he is to save his crew. The special effects are a bit mixed at times they look really great but at others it is almost as if the makers wanting to hint at the look of the old TV series! The ending leaves a few questions unanswered which sets things up somewhat for the opening of the next film, 'The Voyage Home'. Overall I'd say that this film was better than I remembered and fans of classic 'Star Trek' should enjoy it.
Filipe Neto This film is the third of the franchise and addresses the theme of death and resurrection of Spock, something that I honestly could not understand immediately but, being an alien, did not make any knot in my head when I've got it. The script is not bad but it gets even better from the moment the Klingons, a welcome element of action, are added to the story. However, being a film that continues the story of "The Wrath of Khan," it is natural that both are similar at several points. On a technical level, they're almost identical, the sets and costumes are the same and the special effects are still what we could expect at this period. And as for the actors, this film is almost entirely of Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley, actors that the script privileged and that they had the capacity to shine. In the end, we get a film that honors its predecessor without, however, being able to match it.
trashgang Never seen the Stat Trek franchise and heard so many negative things about it I must say that I was again surprised by the outstanding effects that are still working today. Directed by Leonard Nimoy (Spock) himself I must say that he did a great job.The story starts exactly where part 2 ended so you must have seen part 2 to understand it all even as it starts with the last 5 minutes of that particular part. Where as part 2 (The Wrath Of Kahn) did had a lot of action here we do have more of a psychical story. There isn't that much action going on but when the enemy shows up it do works out fine. The effects of the dog is well done. Pure latex but still it works.Maybe the only negative thing is the fact that it is sometimes a bit too long on parts but not as boring as the original movie had. Worth seeing and even as I, not a Trekkie, I did like it even as I had my doubts about the acting of William Shatner (Kirk)Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
