IDK, I've watched it twice recently. It doesn't suck, but neither is it awesome. It falls somewhere into the gaping middle of meh.
Merits of Search for Spock: crazy!McCoy - especially the scene where he tries to nerve pinch a guy, Sarek showing up at Kirk's place and being all, "I'm cool with your gay relationship with my son, but you fucking lost his katra?" Uhura cutting a bitch. Kirk not killing that Klingon, just because he was done with death for the day.
Un-merits of Search for Spock: interminably long baby!Spock scenes followed by uncomfortable finger-touching pon farr cut away, the fight scenes in general, long ass Vulcan ritual feels long-ass, annoying recap and long lead up at the beginning because it was before VHS...
What I mean is: it sucks less than the first and fifth one, and it's still better than Genesis.
