These are classic directorial occasions, and Nimoy rises to them with fervor, in effect beaming his film up onto a higher pictorial plane than either of its predecessors.
An emotionally satisfying science fiction adventure.
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.
This is a good but not great Star Trek movie, a sort of compromise between the first two.
The humanity of the Star Trek series, unexpected as it is in a sci-fi setting, remains the series' best feature.
'Star Trek III' takes nearly forty minutes, much of which is filled with silly, mystical exposition about the current state of Spock's soul, before things start moving. The last twenty minutes are equally slow, but the stuff in between is quite enjoyable.
Stirring, successful science-fiction enterprise.
Without falling into some of the silliness and self parody of the next movie, this one manages to show genuine emotion and sentiment. (Blu-ray Collection)
...a somber, mournful installment of the Star Trek franchise. And when the defining trait of your series is dullness, this isn't exactly the best strategy.
Not bad, but the series would boldly go to better places.
It's reasonably entertaining fare for non-fans.
One of the best of the series.
It has the physique and will of a bold adventurer, but it's afflicted with acute brain-stem damage. Mixed in among some of Trekdom's best moments are some of the canon's sloppiest choices...
May be the unappreciated middle child of the Trek franchise, but it's still one of better and more indispensable episodes.
Decent SFX, but a little more action wouldn't have gone amiss.
