    There are no real surprises in this ponderous journey to the final frontier, in which Admiral Kirk hijacks the starship Enterprise to help in the rejuvenation of the deceased Spock on the planet Genesis. It's a good character-driven story, marred by Leonard Nimoy's workmanlike direction, a pseudo-mystical ending and an all-pervasive funereal tone that permeates every frame. Amazing special effects supply the wonder and emotional charge missing from what is, in essence, nothing more than a bloated TV episode.

    An Ok film

    The search for spock follows on from the Wraith of Khan following Kirk and the Enterprise crew stealing the ship and travelling back to Genesis to rescue their fallen comrade.

    Not the best of the original cast Star Trek Films, however not the worst (Star Trek Five). Does however manage to pull it off with moments like the thief of the Enterprise and the punch up between Kirk and the Klingon commander (Christopher Lloydd). Would recommend to anyone who is a vivid fan of the original series.

    Very Endearing

    I thought that this film was rather sweet and that the special effects were light years better than those from the original series. I also liked the fact that there was no mawkish romance. However, I think you have to be a Star Trek to fully appreciate it.
