== Synopsis ==
Overall, this movie was...not very good. I was struggling to finish it, but I powered through just so I could do a write up. You’re welcome.
So, we pick up where Star Trek II left off, with a long replay of Spock’s dying scene where he and Kirk share a bro moment and then they torpedo his dead body off to the new Genesis planet. Kirk is still devastated, he’s crazy missing his Vulcan brother from a human mother, but he brings the Enterprise back to home base for repairs post-Khan battle.
As the Enterprise pulls into home base, they pass a humongous new ship with the latest in starfleet technology (which hopefully means technology that prevents others from taking over the ship just by using a simple code, amiright?) So you get this scene of the war-worn Enterprise next to the shiny new vessel, and you’re like damn, son. kinda like a G1 brick sitting next to an HTC One.
This is all setting up for the moment when they tell Kirk and team the Enterprise is being retired. Kirk’s all like, hell no, we just need some repairs, and they’re like

...and this is where I left off on June 5th at 9:57pm (according to my draft revision history). I can’t remember enough about the movie to finish the write up, but I do remember that I was NOT a fan of ST3. Bits and pieces are starting to come back to me and dear god, I can’t watch it again. Not even for the integrity of this blog. I just can’t.
but like a diligent, responsible blogger, I took notes during the movie:
- recap blue box
- kirk sad. miss you dude.
- valkris bad eyebrow shaping
- doc from BTTF green ship
- damn look at that other ship
- Japanese crackers
- tarantula face
unfortunately, unlike a diligent, responsible blogger, my notes make no sense. I literally have no idea what they could mean. zero. japanese crackers and tarantula face?? wtf.
so that’s it, I’m calling it for this post. I just needed to purge myself of the Star Trek III guilt so I can get to the whales. yesss.
