Star Trek III: The Search for Spock is the nostalgia movie we wanted!! Unlike Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which focused too heavily on nostalgia and not on the plot. While this movie did have some plot holes and everyone was wearing their 80's best instead of futuristic costumes!! This movie gave us the feeling to watch it again!! Between dialogue and the acting, you might feel that way too!! It was also interesting to see Christopher Lloyd in Star Trek!! If you want to hear the in-depth review and rating of this movie, come and check out Hopeful Reviews! A podcast that-surprise-reviews and rates TV shows and movies!! 9.1/10 #blessed.

Picking up closely from the second film, this sees our crew of adventurers defy their superiors and steal the Enterprise in an attempt to rescue "Spock" from the Genesis planet. This is probably the best of the films for both DeForest Kelley and James Doohan as they both have some more of the play than normal; Christopher Lloyd is on fine form as the Klingon commander "Kruge" and there is plenty of phaser action to keep us all entertained. Not quite as well put together as the "Wrath of Khan" but it continues to develop the characters in an entertaining fashion.

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 sort of cheapen Kahn a bit. However, it's really not a bad entry on it's own. It's a solid film. It just followed the greatest of the bunch and pales in comparison.

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 know and love. Into the mix here we have our favourite alien enemies The Klingons (led by the oddly cast Christopher Lloyd), Spock's father, Sarek, who adds grace to the story, and crucially Kirk gets an emotional kicker. While elsewhere hardcore fans get a big surprise with the beloved Enterprise. It's of course merely a set up for the next (and delightfully great) instalment of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, but on its own terms this stands up as one of the better character pieces in the series. Due in no small part to having Leonard Nimoy directing it because he shows care and thought about a subject he obviously knows quite a bit about. 7/10
