Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
jellopuke Set directly after Wrath of Khan this is a decent movie about undoing a death scene. Kind of hokey in parts, it does have its moments, but it's no 2, 4, or 6.
kieranwilliamsonmt I'm a more recent Star Trek fan and have recently moved onto the movies. I have to say, this one was a bigger disappointment to Star Trek I for me. After the how brilliant 'The Wrath of Khan' was, I was hoping Star Trek III would be a worthy follow up, but even the title seemed a little unimaginative now I look at it. The story takes forever building up, has some great moments during that, for example, the Klingons are brilliant but it just lacks some imagination much like how 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' often felt. It's like the franchise took one huge step forward, Star Trek II was an exciting film but still about morality at the end of the day, but this film offers none of it.
smatysia I loved the TV series. I was a child when it ran in the Sixties. Then, as I grew up in the Seventies, they invented UHF stations that ran "old" series in syndication, and Star Trek was on every day. So I was delighted that, in the Eighties, as a young adult, it came back, via the movie screen. Some of the space effects in this film were excellent, even viewed now. Some, like the planetscapes the characters trod and fought through, not so much. In the inevitable comparisons, this film is not as good as II and IV. But, as these three films were a serial in a way, the events of all three combined taking place in the space of a few weeks, one must see it with the others. Don't get me wrong, it isn't bad, but it may suffer a bit by comparison. (I've never seen any of the other Star Trek series or the movies based on them, so I cannot compare this to them)
trashgang Never seen the Stat Trek franchise and heard so many negative things about it I must say that I was again surprised by the outstanding effects that are still working today. Directed by Leonard Nimoy (Spock) himself I must say that he did a great job.The story starts exactly where part 2 ended so you must have seen part 2 to understand it all even as it starts with the last 5 minutes of that particular part. Where as part 2 (The Wrath Of Kahn) did had a lot of action here we do have more of a psychical story. There isn't that much action going on but when the enemy shows up it do works out fine. The effects of the dog is well done. Pure latex but still it works.Maybe the only negative thing is the fact that it is sometimes a bit too long on parts but not as boring as the original movie had. Worth seeing and even as I, not a Trekkie, I did like it even as I had my doubts about the acting of William Shatner (Kirk)Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
