Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. There's an adage among Star Trek fans that the good films are the ones with even numbers (at least not counting reboot) and many fans dismiss The Search for Spock as a mere reset film--resurrect Spock since Nimoy decided he didn't want to be rid of the character after all. I think that's unfair to this film which was very enjoyable and had no moments that made me want to slide down in my seat and hide my eyes. In fact this had more than one moving, memorable moment--even if the film isn't anywhere near as powerful as Wrath of Khan. And I have to admit--Kirstie Alley will forever be my Saavik--not Robin Curtis. no reviews | add a review

It's close to being a good movie. The script is quite nice, regardless of my pet peeve with the The Third Act Of All Films, Regardless Of Genre, Must Be An Action Sequence formula. If only that action sequence had been any good. Why are Klingons even in this movie? Because if you didn't have battles and fisticuffs, it would be too damn science fictiony, I guess. Okay, blowing up the Enterprise is pretty cool - but is it worth turning what could have been a unique psychological drama into a mediocre action vehicle?
