Bullshit. Search for Spock, ftw.
Meh. I just actually watched this last night (and the Wrath of Khan, the night before) after years of not seeing either, and I was kind of disappointed in ST3. Khan was easily the better movie. The script had great character development and was REALLY tight -- everything tied together, the whole movie deals with aging and death and how it's an integral part of life. (Even the Genesis concept is part of that vision.) Just really good writing.
However, there were particular scenes in ST3 that were decent, and it was the first time I think we saw the new spin on the Klingons, including their language, their crabby foreheads, their costumes, and their culture.
I also actually like Robin Curtis' portrayal of Saavik much better than Kirstie Alley's -- the latter of which I don't consider much of an actor. She merely was every geekboy's wetfandream IMO, but she really didn't do much with the role. Saavik is half-Romulan, half-Vulcan, and I felt that Curtis' portrayal was MUCH more on target and also modeled later presentation of those races in the various ST tv series.
Favorite scenes.... Kirk finding Bones in Spock's quarters, Sarek's visiting Kirk, stealing the Enterprise (just a cool idea), and then what Kirk does to "turn death into a fighting chance for life." I saw that movie in the theater with a friend in high school, and my heart broke watching that entire scene; it was the end of an era. But the crew kept on going.
RE: Super 8. It was one of those movies (like Gattaca) that I was kind of disappointed in the first time I saw it... and then I found myself watching it again... and then again... and again. I really like both of those movies now. I guess it just didn't fit my expectations the first time out.
