Instead of being unceremoniously de-commisioned, the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 fought like a warrior in its last battle and died a beautiful death in space. I'll miss this ship like everyone else of course, but at least she died the way a historic Federation Starship like that was supposed to - giving everything it had right up to the last second.

Luna Rose Of course, I wouldn't call the Klingons in this film "The Bad Guys"... From Kruge's point of view, the Federation had been testing a weapon, not a terraforming tool, one that would completely change the balance of power, and could potentially be used on them. Kruge sacrificed a lot for the Klingon Empire, including his wife and his crew, and he lost only because Kirk tricked him, which is absolutely humiliating for a Klingon. It's one of the things that makes this film so underrated... The Klingons are antagonists, but certainly not Villains. As far as they knew, everything they were doing was just and honorable.

The Enterprise was such a major character in this movie, probably more so than any of the other films. As when she docks in after returning from her battle with Khan and everybody on the space port looked at her and her battle scars and were shocked to see the damage she took like a broken soldier that will never be the same again. Or how she was going to be decommissioned "Put down" like a lame horse who just ran the greatest race of her life but was too broken to ever win again. It was a bitter sweet ending for her, but she went out on the field in battle like all great warriors should go. Not in a dock or a dark room, but on the field of honor where she dominated and made herself the legend she was.

This is how you create characters that force the audience to get emotionally invested. Kirk is now officially a survivor. His only son and child brutally murdered. That arm on bones tells us that he has broken down for a moment or two, but he quickly gathers himself, spins around in the Captain's chair, and he's back: Captain Kirk Machine, all systems back online. "I swear to you, we're not finished yet." The Enterprise is completely paralyzed, the Klingon Bastards still have Spock and Savik at knifepoint, but so long as he's alive, Kirk is going to keep the Dice🎲Rolling no matter what. Those are universal human virtues that people the world over will cheer for.

Although i never saw this movie before, Admiral Kirk was like "Alright fine. You wanted the Enterprise? Well you can have it! It'll be my final gift to you, and this is one gift that'll go out with a big BANG! Enjoy it, suckers!" as he, Scotty and Chekov set up the self-destruction command just like in the original series.

I'll bet when this movie played at every theatre when it first came out and this scene came up as everyone in the theatre watched the destruction of the Enterprise I'll bet there wasn't a single dry eye in the whole theatre as to a lot of people the Enterprise was a very much loved icon from when she first zoomed across t.v. screens in the 60's to her return to the big screen in Star Trek The Motion Picture.

This scene alone shows why STAR TREK III: The Searchg for Spock is one of the best Star Trek films, certainly the best of the odd-numbered ones. I know this isn´t a popular opinion, but I actually found this more compelling than Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, which of course was also great along with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
