Star Trek III: The Search for Spock is much better than its reputation would lead you to believe.

An uneven and at times quite ridiculous follow-up to The Wrath of Khan, but still worthwhile thanks to solid performances and great character work.

Star Trek III does what it needs to do by restoring part of the original status quo and setting up a new one to be resolved at a later date.

This "Star Trek," the liveliest and most likable of the three, will satisfy hard-core Trekkies and win more than a few new recruits to their ranks.

"Star Trek III" has a genuine spirituality, and, at its end, you may be surprised, especially if you're not really a Trekkie, to realize how moved you've been.

Not many Trekkies would list The Search for Spock as their first viewing choice, but it rarely lets you down.

Almost certainly the best of the "bad" Star Trek films... and for the first 30 or 40 minutes, it's not really even bad, to speak of.

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.

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...
February 11, 2006
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.
