Star Trek : The Search For SpockThe 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.

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.

Sandwiched in between the most critically loved and the most commercially successful of the original series movies, "The Search for Spock" is often overlooked. It was not the dramatic action adventure masterpiece that was "The Wrath of Kahn", nor was it the fun comedic ride that "The Voyage Home" was, but it weaves its own tale and stands on its own as a Star Trek story of power and magnitude.Right from the beginning we see what "The Search for Spock" is going to be about. Picking up on the themes at the end of the previous film, this one makes its point known. This movie is all about life and death and the struggle between the two forces. So many times throughout this film we see the struggle presented overtly and through metaphor. Whether we have to watch the death of Kirk's son David make way for the rebirth of Spock or the symbolism of the new Excelsior replacing the old and past her prime Enterprise, the struggle of life and death has its imprint all over this one. Heck, even the whole Genesis planet is an overt metaphor for the struggle, life from lifelessness that now dies. Yes, "The Search for Spock" comes nowhere near the quality of film its predecessor is and it does not live up to the good time fun of "The Voyage Home", but it has its own voice and it speaks it quite eloquently leaving the third Star Trek film in a place among the top ten of the entire original series.

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock is directed by Leonard Nimoy and has music by James Horner. The film stars William Shatner, DeForest Kelley, Christopher Lloyd, Robin Curtis, James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, Walter Koenig, Merritt Butrick, Mark Lenard, Judith Anderson and Leonard Nimoy.This is a very good film and pretty underrated compared to some of the others. It has several moving scenes and is really funny too. McCoy trying to charter a ship in an alien bar is hysterical. The mind meld scene between Kirk and Sarek is very moving and Christopher Lloyd is excellent as the cunning Klingon Captain. It's a bit odd that Carol Marcus isn't in this film, you'd think she would have wanted to study the Genesis planet.The Search for Spock is set shortly after the events of The Wrath of Khan. Kirk (William Shatner) and the crew are returning to Earth, Kirk is devastated by Spock's loss and is struggling to come to terms with it.David(Merritt Butrick) and Lt. Saavik(Robin Curtis)have been assigned to the Starfleet ship Grissom, they are in orbit of the Genesis planet and are studying how the planet is evolving. That sector is off limits now to anyone apart from their science team.When the Enterprise returns to Earth, Kirk is told the ship is to be decommissioned. Dr. McCoy(DeForest Kelley)appears to be having some sort of breakdown and Kirk is visited by Spock's father Sarek(Mark Lenard).Sarek pleads with Kirk to return Spock's body to Vulcan(at the end of the previous film he was buried on the Genesis planet), he tells Kirk there is a ritual that could restore Spock to life. It is discovered that McCoy is now carrying Spock's memories and personality within his own mind, that is why Spock melded with him at the end of Wrath of Khan.Spock's memories must be taken from McCoy and placed back into Spock's mind. Kirk, Scotty, Sulu, McCoy and Chekov steal the Enterprise and head to the Genesis planet.Rogue Klingon Captain Kruge(Christopher Lloyd)has found out about the Genesis device and realises the potential it has to be a weapon. He and his crew head to the Genesis planet.This film has some very interesting things in it, such as the mystical Vulcan ceremony that can restore life and the accelerated development of the Genesis planet. It makes you think also about the positives and negatives of building a device like Genesis.Although it's great that Spock lives again, I think this lessens the impact of his sacrifice at the end of The Wrath of Khan. I think it would have been better if he stayed dead, and then we could see the impact on Kirk and McCoy and how they coped with that loss.Well directed by Nimoy, with strong performances from the cast. Shatner is good as the devastated Kirk who will stop at nothing if there is even the slightest chance of saving Spock. Robin Curtis is good as Saavik, but it is a shame that Kirstie Alley didn't reprise the role.Doohan, Takei, Nichols and Koenig get more to do in this film and that's great to see. DeForest Kelley steals every scene he's in as a very different Dr.McCoy.
