Movie Reviews

DVDJournal.com - 9/10 by Mark BourneIt has the physique and will of a bold adventurer, but it's afflicted with acute brain-stem damage. Mixed in among some of Trekdom's best moments are some of the canon's sloppiest choices...
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Jay CarrThis "Star Trek," the liveliest and most likable of the three, will satisfy hard-core Trekkies and win more than a few new recruits to their ranks.
TIME Magazine - 8/10 by Richard SchickelIt features as ghastly a group of interstellar pirates, the Klingons, as ever entered the star log, plus a spectacularly self-destructive planet and plenty of technically adroit and sometimes witty special effects. These are classic directorial occasions, and Nimoy rises to them with fervor, in effect beaming his film up onto a higher pictorial plane than either of its predecessors.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliWhile the sluggish beginning and ending mar this Star Trek outing somewhat, there's still enough here to please fans of the series, and, to a lesser extent, movie-goers in general.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertThis is a good but not great Star Trek movie, a sort of compromise between the first two.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Charles CassadyStirring but sad science-fiction enterprise.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave KehrThis 1984 film's few and unimpressive special effects evidently qualify it as science fiction, but the genre it really belongs to is the male weepie: there hasn't been a gooier buddy romance on the screen since Joe Buck took Ratso Rizzo to Miami.
Time Out - 8/10 by Derek AdamsDecent SFX, but a little more action wouldn't have gone amiss.
Newsweek - 7/10 by David AnsenLeonard Nimoy, who directed this third installment, hasn't matched the playfulness and energy of ''Star Trek II,'' but he's way ahead of the first film, making up in earnestness what he lacks in style. That kind of conviction, while sometimes verging on undue self-importance, goes a long way toward making the material touching.
Filmcritic.com - 7/10 by Jeremiah KippDirected by Leonard Nimoy, this episode could best be described as functional, in that the situation is interesting enough for a routine episode of the TV show.
