Why watch this?
This is the second best of the original crew's films... and there's whales.

Dad's Preview:
After Wrath of Kahn, expectations were very high.
Star Trek III
(1984) was
good, not great. Thankfully, Leonard Nimoy kept the directorial
reins and gave us this wonderful, thoughtful film.
Mostly set on Earth way back in 1985, there are many
great moments where the futuristic crew has to acclimate to
Earth of their past. Many of these interactions are hilarious. The heart of the film is the
crew's quest to find
two humpback whales and bring them forward in time to
save the earth's future from its destructive nature. This film
is beloved by Trekkies and regular folk alike. It's perfect.
