Perhaps it's success had to do with this film focusing less on overdone special effects and over the top villains and more so on a story people could get behind and humanized characters. It's domestic gross was the highest for the franchise up until 2009's Star Trek, so it's safe to say it was an crowd-pleaser. ![]() Ironically, it out-grossed all of the other Trek films leading up to it by far. In fact, the only real link to Search For Spock is just the fact that Spock still hasn't fully adapted to being a member of the Enterprise as his memory is still weary. It doesn't really fit into the film series at all, and it may have been better served as an extended episode. And that's what this film essentially is.
