Here is my Star Trek III review:
Star Trek: The Search for Spock Review
This movie leads right where the second movie ended (which is different from the first two movies, which had quite some time in between themselves and the show), continuing the emotional turmoil in Jim for Spock dying and discovering that he has a son. Also continuing is the looming breaking point that Jim has with being an Admiral yet, naturally feeling the urge to do things that aren't very Admiral-like. Eventually, without spoiling too much, he goes rogue, in a manner, and has to save the day again. Compared to the first movie and the second one, this movie feels smaller in size and impact. It is clear that the enemy in this movie seek the genesis "torpedo" to have as a weapon, to what end is never explored due to a personal hatred that blinds logic on the Klingon's part. At the end of it, with Spock's revival, the movie ended on an incredibly powerful note with him remembering who he was and who his friends are. This movie was more focused, less "big picture" than the first too, and yet more emotionally involved because of it. If the first movie was the response to Star Wars, and the second movie was a return to character development focus that made the original series so wonderful, this was the movie to focus on the emotions of fellowship and brotherhood, regardless of where you come from or what kind of person you are, and in that respect it hit the nail on the head. Notwithstanding, this was, in my opinion, a drop off from the quality seen in the first two movies and particularly in Kahn.
