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 od...

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.

Between dialogue and the acting, you might feel that way too!! I...

I think Star Trek III The Search for Spock is one of the best Star Trek films. The story centers on a rescue mission in which our heroes take their starship to a dangerous planet to save Mr. Spock. Captain Kirk leads them into action once again. I think this time I was more invested in what was happening because (frankly) I was eager for Spock to return and I enjoyed a lot of the character moment...
