Following Kirk's encounter with Khan that left the Enterprise severely damaged and Spock dead, they return to Starfleet so that Enterprise could be repaired. Kirk's hoping to go back to the newly-created Genesis planet where he laid Spock to rest. But upon arriving, he is told that the Enterprise will not be repaired and that Genesis has become a delicate matter and until it is resolved, no one is allowed to go there or talk about it. McCoy is also acting strangely and is later detained when he starts talking about Genesis. Kirk is visited by Spock's father Sarek, who tells him that he betrayed Spock because being placed on Genesis was not what he would have wanted. He tells Kirk he is supposed to bring Spock's body along with his soul or katra as the Vulcans call it which he passes onto someone, and bring it to Vulcan for the final rites.

This movie picks up where the last movie left off...well sort of anyway. That movie was full of action, had a great villain, and had a very good and interesting plot. This one has very little action, takes a bit to long to get going, and the villain in this one is Christopher Lloyd who sounds like Christopher Lloyd trying to be a Klingon. It just does not work, and for the most part neither did the movie for me. It is better than the first Star Trek movie, but it shares some of its problems. Also, it really is a bummer they could not get Kristie Alley back for this one as she is missed here too. You also do not get Lenard Nimoy for almost all the movie, granted if he was in it a lot the movie would have to have an entirely different title now wouldn't it? I am not the biggest Star Trek fan though so it is surprising how much I did enjoy the previous one. After that one, watching this one is a bit of a bore and a let down. Still, there are some good things, the finale is rather good, and it is nice to see a movie's sequel progress from one storyline to another with the previous movie not being ignored. It was also nice to see the Genesis planet up close. Still, give me a few more aerial battles.
