Airtight plotting and brilliant direction by Nicholas Meyer (5 more)
Excellent character moments and growth
Ricardo Montalban as the film franchise's best villain
A climax which can still bring me to tears
James Horner's score
Thematiacally compelling
Considered the best for a reason
Dumps the cerebral 2001 tone of the previous film and is instead a smaller, more character focused film. Not only one of the best Trek films but one of the Sci-Fi greats imo

Lots of campy fun in the vein of TOS (2 more)
Christopher Lloyd is a Klingon
Lots of good character moments
Not as many memorable moments (though there are a few) (1 more)
Does kind of feel like franchise maintenance (bringing back a fan favorite character)
A good movie overshadowed because it's in between two great ones
Search for Spock is a good movie, but is largely forgotten because it is in between two great ones. There's just not as much here to make it noteworthy as in II or IV. There aren't really any major problems though and it is a fun watch.

An absolutely ridiculous premise, turned into an actually good film (4 more)
Lots of "funny fish out of water" comedy
Every character gets their moment to shine
The whale probe has an aura of mystery about it
Infectiously upbeat
Not as thematically engaging as previous films (2 more)
May be too light for some
Saavik is dropped randomly
The funniest Trek
"The one with the whales" might seem ridiculous at first glance, but it's played with such sincerity and heart from the cast that it becomes genuinely funny and endearing. A great crowdpleaser.
