Review Detail

While obviously not as a strong a film as Wrath of Khan or Voyage Home, I never had any issues with the original Search for Spock so I watched this mostly out of curiousity for what choices BionicBob had made with his edit. His restructuring of the scenes made perfect sense and I can totally understand the logic behind many of his deletions, even if I quite enjoyed the comedy of those McCoy scenes.

The two biggest improvements in my view are the addition of Horner music to the death of David and the Kirk vs Kruge brawl. Those scenes are definitely given more oomph from Horner's bombastic score.

If you had issues with Search for Spock, I suspect this edit will go a long way towards making the film go down easier for you. Looking forward to seeing what BionicBob does with Final Frontier, another maligned Trek entry that I never thought was as bad as its reputation,
