Since this movie had a rather bad rep, I wasn't expecting much from it and since I had rather low expectations, I thought it was not bad at all. I mean, since they still try to get the smallest budget as possible, the whole thing still looks pretty cheesy and I thought it was rather long and slow when in fact the movie lasts only a little more than 90 minutes but still there were many things I enj... read more
Admiral Kirk and his bridge crew risk their careers stealing the decommissioned Enterprise to return to the restricted Genesis planet to recover Spock's body.
"The startling, upsetting death of Genesis planet hostage Dr. David Marcus (Merritt Butrick) - stabbed in the throat by a Klingon on orders from treacherous Klingon Captain Kruge (Christopher Lloyd), and Admiral James T. Kirk's (William Shatner) stunned reaction to the news of the death of his son delivered by Lieut. Saavik (Robin Curtis) ("Admiral, David is dead") -- he stumbled backwards to the floor when trying to sit in his captain's chair on his own hijacked starship USS Enterprise, and croa"
"This 1984 film's few and unimpressive special effects evidently qualify it as science fiction, but the genre it really belongs to is the male weepie: there hasn't been a gooier buddy romance on the screen since Joe Buck took Ratso Rizzo to Miami.

I have always considered Search For Spock to be one of the weaker entries in the Trek series, but it really isn't all that bad, it just suffers in comparison to some of the other ones, particularly Wrath of Khan - this movie picks up right where Khan lef"
"19.1.
Kolmannen Trek-elokuvan ongelma on sen alkuasetelma. Khanin viha lopetettiin johonkin muuhun kuin status quoon, ja kolmannen osan ainoa tarkoitus on vain äkkiä palauttaa perusasetelma.

Lopputaistelukin käydään joku puoli tuntia ennen elokuvan lopetusta, ja sen jälkeen nähdään vain jotain hyvin tylsää henkiinheräämisriittiä. Periaatt"
"Excellent follow-up to Khan, this film picks up right where they left off. I love that! Even better they replaced Kirstie Alley w/ Robin Curtis to play Saavik, a definite improvement!
