Synopsis
In the aftermath of the Genesis planet’s creation and Spock’s heroic sacrifice to save the Enterprise crew, a somber Kirk and company return to Earth, where Kirk receives an unexpected visit from Spock’s father. Sarek is under the assumption that prior to his death, Spock gave Kirk his katra (or “living spirit”); it’s therefore Kirk’s responsibility to deliver Spock’s katra, along with his body, home to Vulcan. Unfortunately, Kirk left Spock’s body back on the Genesis planet, and he doesn’t have Spock’s katra— although he has a sneaking suspicion who does.
Review
Directed by Nimoy himself, the third Trek does have its moments. While plot inconsistencies are here and there, and Kirk's reaction to the death of his son is not help at all in mending the cracks, 'The Search for Spock' boasts great, fun performance from the crew in their journey of rescuing their miraculously resurrected friend, Spock. Mayhem ensues as Klingons make their presence felt by serving as a subplot menacing the entire mission. However, the film delivers as a solid entry in continuing the chronology of the original Enterprise crew.
Rating
