Richard Schickel
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.
Variety Staff
An emotionally satisfying science fiction adventure.
Not bad, but the series would boldly go to better places.
Dave Kehr
This 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...
Derek Adams
Decent SFX, but a little more action wouldn't have gone amiss.
Roger Ebert
This is a good but not great Star Trek movie, a sort of compromise between the first two.

Star trek III A great addition. It was fun and i loved christopher lloyd. I thought davids death was terrible
Awesome addition I love this one because it shows how deep the connection between the characters are. They are willing to sacrafice everything to do the right thing. This movie is part of the 2,3,4 trilogy so make sure you watch wrath of Khan first.
Is good Not the best trek movie, but it is part of a trilogy, st2 wrath of khan and st4 the voyage home. Helps tie them all together and of course brings back Spock.

Star Trek
The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew's maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before.

Pacific Rim (2013)
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end.

But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
