Better than the first two movies, but still not a thrilling movie. However, the series goes into the right direction!

A direct follow up to the previous film, this middle part of an unofficial trilogy continues the melancholic feeling of the previous entry. Devoting an entire film to what is essentially a cheat may seem unnecessary, but despite the film's obvious flaw, It does well to tie its plot to threads from the previous film which helps to sell the implausibility of its central story, and importantly the characters suffer consequences to their actions, notably Kirk with another fine performance from Shatner. The film can't help but suffer from the absence of Nimoy from the film and its exploration of Vulcan culture is more suited to devotees of the Trek franchise and less accessible to a general audience than the previous film. That being said, the film contains some great sequences, as Kirk and his crew go out on a limb for their friend and face down the Klingon villains and it forms a cohesive companion piece to Wrath of Khan. More importantly, it does not lessen the impact of those moving final moments from Khan, which are replayed here at the beginning.

[5.8/10] In television criticism these days, there’s a great deal of talk about “table setting” episodes -- those installments that don’t move the ball forward all that much, but get the major players in place and set things up for something bigger. These episodes aren’t bad necessarily -- More

Solid film. Slightly outdone by Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, but still great. We get to explore the relationships between Spock and Kirk & McCoy, see some Vulcan culture, and watch Christopher Lloyd play a Klingon! (To be honest, I couldn't help but visualize Doc Brown from Back to the F More

You Klingon bastards! Kirk gets personal.

It is what it is folks, it's a good honest Star Trek story, it beats a real emotive heart and although some may decry the lack of blistering space battles, or end of the universe peril scenarios, it's an essential film for dealing with the protagonists we More

I kind of feel that this gets a lot more hate than it deserves... because it follows Kahn and because it rewrites an emotional death.

I know, I know, I love Spock too, but, really, should have left him dead. That was part of the emotional roller coaster of II.

But, they didn't and that does so More
