7/10
An excellent followup film
15 July 2006
This movie, at first, seemed dumb when I first read about it. After all, how can the crew search for Spock when we all saw him die in the last film?! Well, it being the great and scientifically advanced future, death is not necessarily the end of the line! Spock's body was jettisoned onto the planet where the Genesis Probe had been deployed in the last film. It seems that Spock's consciousness was deposited into McCoy and they needed to try to find his body as McCoy wasn't particularly happy or useful as a multiple personality. So, they go off to search for the body and see if they can shove the two back together. But, Klingons, lead by the rather amusing Christopher Lloyd (no he does NOT play a combination of a Klingon and Jim Ignatowsky), are waiting in ambush.

The film has very similar production values and acting from the last film. About the only negatives is that STAR TREK II was so exciting and bold that this film can't help but pale in comparison. But it's still an exceptional film that fans of the series should enjoy and others should also like if they are open-minded.
