[John Yelverton · Rating 3 out of 5]

A cute and nice children's adaptation of the film "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock", but it definitely takes some liberties to make a family friendly film even more family friendly than it already was in the first place.

Unfortunately Star Trek III: The Search for Spock Storybook is a rather poor adaptation of the film. After a fierce battle the Enterprise and her crew return to Earth for repairs but are soon called to action when it’s learned that Spock merged his mind with Dr. McCoy’s before his death, and that he has to be taken to Vulcan to have Spock’s mind removed; meanwhile the Klingons attack a research team that’s made a surprising discovery on the Genesis planet. While the story is told fairly well, the characters of David and McCoy are rewritten to be broad caricatures. And, there are some minor differences with the plot and dialog that come off as awkward and clunky (the likely result of being based off of the screenplay instead of the finished film). Despite a good effort, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock Storybook loses something in the translation.

A photo storybook of the third Star Trek movie.

Follows the movie pretty exactly with stills from the film. A good reminder of what happened, especially if you haven't seen the movie recently.
