It's an anniversary episode for Out of Contreks, which means that this time, we're tackling The Search For Spock. Join Ryan and Brady as we discuss the first Trek movie that feels like a long TV episode, some incredible '70s fashion that just happened to appear in the '80s, and how, to woo Leonard Nimoy back to the franchise, the Trek helmers allowed him to direct a movie about how Trek isn't as good when he's not in it (which is true!).
On this the third episode of our mission we are going to talk about the third and fourth Star Trek Original Series movies, where we discover a literal strange new world and our own world is rediscovered with Star Trek The Search for Spock and Star Trek The Voyage Home.
The amazing, fantastic Wrath of Khan is followed up by...a kinda cheap, sloppy retcon? Sadly that is the case as we review "ST III: The Search for Spock" ! While the crew pulls off the prototype 'Starfleet has no security' heist, Doc Klingon Brown and his lads show up for some Cold War allegory.
Spock Lives! It's been 40 years since we saw the resurrection of our favorite Vulcan and the death of our favorite ship. This week we talk about Star Trek III The Search for Spock.
This week the MovieFilm boys beam over to the 23rd century to mark 40 years of STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK! Listen separately or watch along with us as we delve into the behind-the-scenes journey of the third big screen Trek, pausing occasionally for humorous asides, random trivia and much more!
Wiz DOES NOT RECOMMEND Star Trek V: The Final Frontier Before I get to the review, I just want to say that it's interesting how Star Trek ping-pongs between different styles of stories and it still somehow feels right with the series itself. In the past four, we've had artsy and contemplative (The Motion Picture), tense revenge film (Wrath of Khan), a more standard action drama (Search For Spock) and a parody of sorts (The Voyage Home) and somehow they seem to fit well with the overall feel of the series. With The Final Frontier, Shatner's crack at directing, it's more of a cheesy 80s action comedy. There seems to be more banter and quips between all of the Enterprise crew which in turn leads to some fun character moments. But this comes at a cost: special effects are, yet again, worse then they were in previous films. Whether it's a sign of how the effects were back then or not, they lack an impact and visual fidelity that both the first and second have, but three and four sidestepped the issue by not having so much of those elements in their films. Not so with The Final Frontier: Stunts and special effects seem goofy and unnatural, especially when spliced with obvious green screen effects. The action, otherwise, is passable: there are some decent shootouts and some okay fight scenes that could have been better. But the film does an about-face when it comes to tone by the third act. This is due to the villain of the film Sybok, played by Laurence Luckinbill. Through most of the film, Sybok is portrayed as a cult leader of sorts that brainwashes people to joining his cause. But as the film moves forward, his "power" gets incredibly muddled in it's explanation. It's not clear whether it's a power he possesses or that he is just a good emotional manipulator, but somehow Bones, Kirk and Spock aren't affected because...reasons. And then there is the end of the film. Let's just say that when the main villain is "God" (or someone like him), the discovery and what happens next needs to work in a profound or interesting way...and it does neither. In honesty, The Final Frontier has a problem with both tone and consistency. This isn't something to fault William Shatner on in the director's chair. No, this started in the script phase and either they should have made it a more spiritually focused journey or Lethal Weapon in space. The half-and-half approach didn't work. Despite the film still being entertaining in spots, it's something I wouldn't recommend.
Show notes provided by Jack Adrien How does a rejuvenated science fiction franchise follow arguably the best installment in its long-standing television and movie series? Well, if it's the decades-long Star Trek franchise and following Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan's (Khan's) critical and commercial success, Paramount Pictures greenlit for producer Harve Bennett to write a sequel the day after Khan opened. But how would that work? We watched and mourned Mr. Spock's heroic sacrifice to save the Enterprise and her crew, marking the “death” of not only one of the franchise's most beloved and well-known characters, but also a character that embodies the science fiction genre. And Leonard Nimoy, the actor who brought Mr. Spock to life, had long expressed his frustration with the weight of playing the character, most notably in his first autobiography released in 1975, I Am Not Spock. With Khan, did Paramount grant Nimoy's wish? Whereas Star Trek: The Motion Picture rebooted the franchise for cinema audiences, Khan reintroduced a memorable antagonist from one of the series' first season episodes. Although the third film in the Star Trek film franchise,Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (Search) marked the second part of what many consider a three-film story arc – beginning with Khan released in 1982 and ending with 1986's Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (Voyage) – that shows how the original series characters accept aging in the franchise's world building. Within this loose narrative trilogy, Captain James T. Kirk met his son, David Marcus – neither of whom had met before – and Kirk witnessed the death of his best friend, Mr. Spock, in Khan. And in a startling reversal, rogue Klingons kill Kirk's son and Mr. Spock is “resurrected” in Search. Memorably, to save his life and those of his crew, Kirk must kill the franchise's most central character in Search: The USS Enterpriseitself. Nestled as the story-arc's midpoint, Search allowed the Star Trek franchise to mature and move beyond its television series roots. Released three years before the successor television series in the franchise, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Search delivers on poignant story arcs for its characters, particularly William Shatner's portrayal of Kirk. As Paramount released more films over the years, the fandom (i.e., Trekkies) settled on an “Odd-Even Rule” (i.e., the even-numbered films are often considered better than the odd-numbered ones). But that shorthand has often overlooked and underrated Search's significance to the franchise. Foremost, Search marks Leonard Nimoy's motion picture directorial debut, deftly balancing action, humor, and tension. Nimoy later garnered acclaim for his direction of Voyage and Three Men and a Baby, respectively. Further, Search formally introduced the grammar, syntax, andvocabulary for the Klingon language. The constructed language gained greater notoriety when its creator, Marc Okrand, and Pocket Books published The Klingon Dictionary in 1985. Moreover, Nimoy cast Christopher Llyod against type as the primary Klingon antagonist, Commander Kruge, and whose standout performance paved the way for his later iconic role as Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy. Lastly, Kirk's destruction of the USS Enterprise over the Genesis planet in Search would later introduce the USS Enterprise-A in Voyage, the replacement for the destroyedstarship, creating a legacy of distinguishing successor ships of the line with the next letter in the alphabet that has endured in the franchise. Join the Mint Condition crew of James, Joe, John, Josh, and Jack as we go behind the scenes and discus Search's history, our impressions when we saw the movie, and where the movie fits in the Star Trek film franchise today. Moreover, we discuss alternative castings and storylines, and does Search disprove the Odd-Even Rule. Because the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many.
In our most unhinged episode of Holodeck Divas, we discuss the rest of Star Trek III - The Search for Spock. The Klingons are about to make a big mess while the crew of The Enterprise head to the Genesis planet. There's a lot of cool 80s action movie stuff, and we see some Vulcan mysticism.

After the success of Wrath of Khan, Paramount Pictures immediatley worked on the next Star Trek movie. Is the next Trek story just as memorable as the second Star Trek movie?

Wiz RECOMMENDS Star Trek III: The Search For Spock After three Star Trek films I have come to a realization: I'm a Star Trek fan. The characters are charismatic and interesting. It has a clear and distinct vision. And for someone who likes military on film, Star Trek's intellectual spin on militarism is surprisingly fun and interesting. But Star Trek III: The Search for Spock continues where the excellent Wrath of Khan left off with a simple conceit: Spock is believed to be on the Genesis planet and Kirk has to find a way to get him back. And that simple story leads a fairly brisk 1 hour and 45 minute film. The film is slight, but doesn't feel it: it's just a fun, engaging film that continues the story. But one interesting the film showcases is Vulcan mysticism: the whole concept of Spock's "mind meld" and what it does to Bones is interesting, but it is paired with the fascinating beliefs of the Vulcans. But the film has a few snags: first, the special effects are a step down from Wrath of Khan...which in turn was a step down from The Motion Picture. In defense of Spock, there is one action scene involving the Enterprise and a Klingon warship and it's not a bad sequence, it just isn't as visually interesting. Also, the hand-to-hand combat in the end...laughably bad. But the biggest step down from the last movie is that of Saavik. This character was a training recruit of Spock played by Kirstie Alley, who did a decent job in the role. In this film, it's played by Robin Curtis...which is a rather sizable downgrade. Now, I can imagine that playing a character who is supposed to be unemotional but still someone who is likable is a hard thing to manage...but Curtis essentially plays her as someone who sounds like a robot. On top of that, she looks unnatural in the role itself. Still, The Search for Spock does two things well: make it's story entertaining and want to watch the next story, which is precisely what it did. After Wrath of Khan, it's a satisfying continuation of the story.

This week on the Exciting & New Podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Mike back on the show as we discuss the 1984 Sci-fi borefest Star Trek 3 - The Search for Spock. Everyone who knows anything knows the odd numbered Trek movies ain't that great, and Part 3 is no exception. It's not terrible, but nothing really happens either. Dr. Brown is brought along on this mission as the big bad Klingon, and Kirstie Allen couldn't bother to come back as Savak, so they had to recast. Anyway, all this is to say that something happened during the recording of this podcast and the last half of the show got cut off. Production issues are nothing new (or exciting) to this podcast, but we are all kind of getting sick of it. Maybe it is time to fire the current producer and bring on someone better. Enjoy what you can of this podcast. The summer of sex starts next week with Bachelor Party and we come out of the gates strong.

In part two of our deep dive of "Star Trek III" on "Enterprise Incidents with Scott & Steve" (along with special guest John Rocha), Admiral Kirk and his loyal crew violate Starfleet orders in their efforts to save Spock and McCoy. They steal the Enterprise and return to the Genesis planet, only to find that the Klingons are already there interrogating the survivors of the U.S.S. Grissom -- Lt. Saavik and Dr. David Marcus -- about the so-called Genesis "doomsday weapon." But the Enterprise is not up for a full-on battle with the Klingons, forcing Kirk to make a huge sacrifice and once again turn death into a fighting chance to live. The second half of "The Search for Spock" features many scenes that are among the very best from any of the "Star Trek" films: the stealing of the Enterprise, the battle with the Klingons, Kirk's emotional reaction to the death of his son and, of course, the destruction of the Enterprise itself (which, for many fans, was even more traumatic than the death of Spock at the end of "The Wrath of Khan"). But rather than end with a big action scene, "Star Trek III" concludes on a more intimate note with the resurrection of Spock and his reunion with his friends. It's an emotionally satisfying conclusion that's more effective now than it was back in 1984, thanks to the benefits that come with time and perspective. To put it another way, think of it like this: If Spock died saving the Enterprise in "Star Trek II," then the Enterprise returned the favor in "Star Trek III." "The Search for Spock" may often be criticized for being a bit too somber when compared to its more vibrant and exciting predecessor, but the mood would definitely pick up after that during their voyage home.

On Episode 149 of the RETROZEST podcast, Curtis kicks off a celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the premiere of STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK! This film is a 1984 American science-fiction action/drama written and produced by Harve Bennett, directed by Leonard Nimoy, and based on the television series Star Trek. It is the third film in the Star Trek franchise and is the second part of a three-film story arc that begins with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) and concludes with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986). After the death of Spock (Nimoy), the crew of the USS Enterprise return to Earth. When James T. Kirk (William Shatner) learns that Spock's spirit, or katra, is held in the mind of Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Kirk and company steal the decommissioned USS Enterprise to return Spock's body to his homeworld. The crew must also contend with hostile Klingons, led by Kruge (Christopher Lloyd), who are bent on stealing the secrets of the powerful terraforming device, Genesis. Assisting Curtis in this endeavor in an exclusive interview is ROBIN CURTIS, the actress who portrayed Lt. Saavik in the film. Before Star Trek III, Robin had already made several film and made-for-television movie appearances. Her performance in the film drew a mixed reception from Trek fans, since she replaced Kirstie Alley (who portrayed Saavik in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan). She reprised the role of Saavik for a brief appearance in 1986's Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, and also in the podcast series Starship Excelsior. Curtis and Robin had a great discussion about the making of the film, and how it is her first and biggest acting role. Please connect with her on Facebook and Instagram. Contact Curtis at podcast@retrozest.com, or via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Also, check us out on TikTok!
Just in time for the 40th Anniversary of "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock," Scott & Steve are stealing "Enterprise Incidents" for a special 2-part deep dive into this underrated "Star Trek" classic. Soon after the U.S.S. Enterprise returns to earth bruised and battered after Captain Spock died saving the ship during the battle in the Mutara Nebula, Admiral James T. Kirk learns that his beloved starship is going to be decommissioned. Plus, all is not well with his friend, Dr. Leonard McCoy, who has not been acting like himself. That's when he receives a visit from Spock's father, Sarek, who questions why he left Spock's body behind on the Genesis planet. It turns out that Spock's essence had been merged with McCoy's, and now both of them are in danger, unless Kirk can take matters into his own hands and bring them to Vulcan. Originally released on June 1, 1984, "Star Trek III" has always been seen as a solid, but somewhat unspectacular installment of the "Genesis Trilogy," even though it featured the directorial debut of none other than Leonard Nimoy. But upon closer inspection, "The Search for Spock" is a better movie than it was ever given credit for, and it features stellar performances from William Shatner, DeForest Kelley and Christopher Lloyd as Klingon Commander Kruge. Scott and Steve are thrilled to be joined for this conversation by Steve's partner from The Cine-Files (and fellow Star Trek fan) John Rocha.

On Episode 116 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Skye is joined by returning co-hosts Adam Rackoff, Bill Scurry and John Arminio to continue Film ‘89's coverage of the original Star Trek films. Having covered The Motion Picture and The Wrath of Khan on previous episodes, the guys now celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Following on from the harrowing events of the second film and the loss of Spock, actor Leonard Nimoy would make his directorial debut and craft a film about death and, as the title suggests, rebirth. Employing superb practical and optical effects that more than hold up 40 years on, the guys fight the corner for a Trek film that they feel is somewhat underrated as well as providing their usual passionate and in-depth analysis in this celebration of the film and where for them it ranks amongst the numerous big screen Trek outings.
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (Commentary)
The second part of what's known as the Genesis Trilogy, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock has a mixed legacy amongst fans. As an odd-numbered film in the series, it's sometimes labeled as one of the "bad" Trek films. The crew of the Enterprise go on a journey to find their recently-deceased comrade, Spock. Does that make sense? It's okay if it doesn't. Guest Paul Kind returns to the podcast to share his thoughts on The Search for Spock. ___ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whywasntitbetter Twitter: https://twitter.com/WWIBpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wwib_official Subscribe!

Mark Maddox returns for a discussion of the third Star Trek film – THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK! The odd number films are generally derided but both of us feel the positives outweigh the negatives in this one. Of course, we pick at every nit we can spot but we do also praise the film for the elements that stand tall and resurrect the dead! We dig into the genesis (he he) of the story with Leonard Nimoy's desire to step into the director's chair leading to several interesting choices. We discuss what it means to be the middle chapter of a trilogy with Mark claiming that The Undiscovered Country is part of the story as well. I bring in details and story additions from the excellent novelization of the film by Vonda McIntire that enhance the story and the secondary characters. The casting of the Klingons is a point of contention with Doc Brown as an alien bad guy becoming an amusing cinema crossover I had not considered before. We lament the stage bound nature of the Genesis planet segments and agree that some location filming would have improved things overall. The special effects get some attention with the destruction of the Enterprise being singled out for praise and we also express our pleasure at having another performance from Mark Leonard as Sarek. This is turning into a fun revisit to this series of movies! If you have any comments about Star Trek or anything else we've covered on the show thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send them. We'd be thrilled to hear from you. Thank you for listening and we'll be back soon.

Continuing the mini-series #mysummerofstartrek this episode sees Paul, Kieran and I discuss 'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock', directed by Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy. This time around Paul and Kieran talk about their favourite Trek films, we talk about casting Klingon's, the acting of William Shatner and question just how far the pon farr went in this movie. Also, just like our last Star Trek ep, the Star Trek podcast which gets mentioned is Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast, which we recommend you check out. Next episode we take a break from this series of films, but join us as we spend some time with a certain Mr Jean-Luc Picard and his friends. Oh, and the Josh Hartnett film Kieran tries and fails to remember the name of was '40 Days and 40 Nights'. In case you wondered.
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984), though not as well executed as Star Trek II, successfully carries its big emotional moments, from the shocking murder of Kirk's son to the heart-crushing destruction of the Enterprise. Loss after loss, the story weighs heavily on anyone rooting for Kirk. Here, Dr. Drea describes the risks he faces psychologically, due to the shock and suddenness of his personal losses and explains the differences between typical grief and traumatic grief.
