Brad CKA L https://youtu.be/eNt3dij294A?si=2IDX8sPdlXKmjbVU ^^^check out my longer review^^^ If somebody had told me Christopher Lloyd was a Klingon in this, I would have watched these years ago! And John Larroquette?! Amazing. A must watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Garrett B Not the best but certainly not the worst Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Charlie M Pretty slow and forgettable, but nothing quite offensive, and a decent enough follow up. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Joseph C One of the most underrated star trek films i've ever seen. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Julian L It's good but slower than the previous film and less emotional (except for David's death and the destruction of the Enterprise.) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Audience Member Being 40 years old it would be tough to make a decent follow-up to 'Wrath of Khan' which is still considered to be one of the best Star Trek films It's no easy task but the late Leonard Nimoy who's very popular playing Vulcan Spock does his first directorial debut of the original Enterprise Crew William Shatner, the late Deforest Kelly, the late Nichelle Nichols, the late James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, Robin Curtis, and Christopher Llyod It takes place right after the end of the second film with Captain Kirk reeling from the loss of his beloved second-in-command Spock who gave his life to save everyone from Khan's wrath But now they discover maybe they can bring him back ‘Bones' McCoy is also acting very strange almost like Spock's mind is inside him They head for the planet Genesis while also having to contend with Klingon Kruge wanting the terraforming device for creating life on planets for destruction This is actually a very well-made sequel despite the even numbered entries making fans and critics very disappointed It still has big death scenes, strong moments, and it feels very operatic Lloyd makes for a decent villain but the character is more of a one-note player unable to match the late Ricardo Montalban Kirk gets some very dark character moments gaining something but losing something in the process And despite the controversy of fans addressing a huge retcon while also making Starfleet an antagonist the film still works thanks to fantastic special effects, some cool mythos when it comes to the Vulcan species, a decent pace, and balances action, adventure, and character drama James Horner's score is spectacular as always Each of the crew members get their chance to shine And there's many biblical themes of life, death, and rebirth The concept is nice even though Spock is not on screen for a lot of the running time his spirit and essence is present throughout The destruction of the Enterprise is quite epic too and they give it a lot of weight The characters' affection for each other going beyond the uniform clearly shows as well as how imperfect an organization like Starfleet is A crew is willing to sacrifice everything for a fallen friend showing this movie's sentiment and spirituality Nimoy manages to get across Christian themes and scientific ethics--how quickly it moves and the dangers of it It’s not as great as its predecessor but still a very watchable entry in the franchise being the more drama-based one Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
