fardell2440 Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
Rewatch. The third Star Trek movie. After the events of the previous movie, Kirk and his officers are mourning the loss of Spock. Then after a confrontation with Sarek, Kirk is moved to do something about that. However, he has to steal the Enterprise and confront a Klingon commander who is after the secrets of Genesis. All the various plot threads come together to form a good movie (but not as good as the previous film, not to say that Nimoy wasn't as good as Meyer is). At the Genesis planet, the Grissom's investigation is shown very well.
Especially with how David and Saavik go about investigating the planet. However, this is cut short with the Klingons coming and destroying the Grissom. Kruge is willing to go to any lengths to get his hands on information about Genesis. This leads to an adversarial confrontation with Kirk towards the end of the movie. (And the destruction of the Enterprise). These moments are poignant, the officers know that they are about to loose an old friend, especially Kirk. It is done rather well, with Kruge trying to save his officers from the trap.
It is also shown that Spock's body had been rejuvenated by the Genesis Effect. The effects of this are well presented, with him re-growing from childhood until the age he was when he died as the planet grew older. This has implications for Saavik, as this includes the effects of pon farr... The ending also gives insight into Vulcan culture, although a lot of mysticism is involved. But it isn't as good as the previous film. 8/10.
