Direct pick up from part 2 with Kirk trying to save Bones, and retrieve Spock by stealing the Enterprise. Because they're looking for Spock, his absence until the end isn't noticed. The film has learned from Part 2 to keep the regulars at the forefront - the plot is about rescuing Bones, and finding Spock, and the Enterprise blows up, and Kirk's boring son is in danger and dies (he doesn't even get a close up the poor guy).
Kirstie Alley's replacement as the female Vulcan isn't as good. I like Chris Lloyd's nasty Klingon - Shatner gets to beat him up and throw him off a cliff presumably to make up for not doing with the Khan.
Some nice lines, Shatner has a fine old hammy time. Sorry these stories are a little silly. Why didn't Nichelle Nichols go on the mission? It seems weird just with Scoy, Sulu and Chekov.
Nice to see Australia's own Judith Anderson at the end.
