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 scriptThis 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.… Expand

I kind of have split feelings of this movie, on the one hand I really enjoyed everyone's performances. Lloyd, Shatner and Nimoy in particular. Each seem to extremely dedicated to their roles and act with such passion.

So what didn't II kind of have split feelings of this movie, on the one hand I really enjoyed everyone's performances. Lloyd, Shatner and Nimoy in particular. Each seem to extremely dedicated to their roles and act with such passion.

So what didn't I like? pretty much everything else. Story more or less belittles the fabulous ending of ST2. Then again, its great to have Spock back. A shame they didn't find a better way to do it that didn't feel so cheap.

Overall:
ST3 feels more like an extension of ST2 to the point that it feels more like a really long episode.… Expand

Star Trek : The Search For Spock

The rudimentary process in here is the downer that never allows the feature to raise the bar at any point of the feature addition to that its first two act grows obvious and dull as it barely move past its premise which too lacks enough potential to feed the audience throughout its runtime. It is short on technical aspects like visual effects, sound department and editing as usual. The script could have been supervised a lot better by Harve Bennett and on terms of execution Leonard Nimoy needs some work for it comes off chalky around the edges. The performance is decent by William Shatner, DeForest Kelley and Christopher Lloyd although there isn't much space for Leonard Nimoy to factor in as Spock, he never disappoints. The makers seem to take fandom for granted in here as their assumption for chewing off the characters too much, is definitely not good on terms of the quality that it is responsible to offer. The journey of young Spock in here is the best sequence in here where one can see the rich details in writing. Star Trek : The Search For Spock is actually a seek for mediocrity which is frankly not feasible for the actors, makers, audience and franchise.… Expand
