In the wake of Spock's ultimate act of sacrifice, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise returns to Earth from the newly formed Genesis planet. Upon arrival, the crew learns that life back home will not be easier: Scotty gets reassigned, Dr. McCoy appears to be going insane, and the Enterprise is to be decommissioned. It is only when Kirk is confronted by Spock's father that he learns his old friend may have another chance at life, if the crew can survive a Klingon attack and return to the Genesis planet.

Paramount has widely released a UHD SteelBook packaging variant for the 1984 franchise film 'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Paramount's SteelBook is a very dark and glossy blue and black and will attract significant fingerprints. The front panel features a black border and a
embossed permitter inside of which is a dark blue and black starfield. Center is an outline of Spock, which is embossed. The rear panel is also very dark
and shows one of the most iconic shots in Star Trek history depicting the Enterprise crew standing on a plateau, watching the ship
crashing onto the Genesis planet. The spine is black with the film's title in white letters, center, filling almost the entire length. A white Paramount logo
appears at the top. The SteelBook also ships with a clear plastic slipcover that adds the film's title at the top in white, center, along with the
Enterprise top left and a Klingon Bird of Prey bottom right.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one UHD and one Blu-ray, are situated on the right in
staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that features a prominent image from the film of the Enterprise approaching
space dock.

What a great SteelBook! It's very simple but very elegant. Star Trek fans are going to fall in love with it, and here's hoping that every Star Trek movie gets its own SteelBook in the coming months. Highly recommended, but do note the existence of another SteelBook, which is currently exclusive to Wal-Mart and contains a few extra goodies.
