He's nailed it perfectly - some great ideas, and some truly great scenes, but they couldn't stitch it together properly.

I'm surprised he didn't pick up on the obvious problem of how Spock remembered his exchange with Kirk as he died, despite that occurring after the Katra-dump.

Part of that exchange between Spock and Kirk was a repeat of the exchange between them both in Spock's quarters, just before Kirk took command. Is Spock not remembering that exchange?

Still the second-best of the odd-numbered movies, behind XI.

I've always thought of it as sort of a middling movie.

For an odd numbered trek movie it wasn't that bad. Not that good either. Oddly enough growing up it was the Trek movie I saw ALL the time because it seemed to get the most play on TV.

It was good because it opened up more of the Star Trek universe. That and the Excelsior/chase scene.

I don't understand why kill David? Kirk just met him. They didn't even have a traditional father/son game of catch.

It was just the writers trying to make us feel sympathetic towards Kirk. The problem is that, as the review correctly points out, it has damn all of an impact.

That and issue of Saavik too.

The sets look cheap too.

Though the death of Enterprise was done pretty good. The mourning done nicely and hell the Enterprise went down as a burning streak across the sky. Though I didn't know the Enterprise was that close to the planet.
