It was so awful, I actually walked out of the theater with about 20 minutes to go. I couldn't take any more. That was the only time I've ever done that.
What was up with the way the Klingons were talking? Did anyone eve figure out why they were switching back and forth between Klingon and English in the same conversation? It's like the writers and directors didn't even care enough about the whole silly mess to attend to even the most basic details. The whole film was a disjointed, disorganized joke in my opinion. -

I have to admit, I wish I had walked out on it, but my friend and I were big Trek fans back in the day, and we had to see the whole thing. In retrospect, walking out would have been the thing to do.
The Klingons switching languages was bothersome, but I was so blinded by the fact that it was a Star Trek film, one that had some fairly high production values, that I stayed to see the whole thing.
To me Trek ended with STII. Spock died, and everyone went on to live their lives. What happens after that is up to fan fiction or speculation. -

We waited in line on opening night. The first 100 people got free commemorative STIII glasses. On the glass it has a synopsis of the plot, including Spock's resurrection. So - years avoiding spoilers in magazines and commercials, and handed a spoiler on walking in.

Saw it a couple of times and enjoyed it. I was a bit disappointed that Kirstie Alley wasn't back; but, Robin Curtiss did a good job. It wasn't quite the classic that Wrath of Khan was; but, it was a darn good film.
Fortunately, Ah keep mah feathers numbered for just such an emergency! -

I also saw it again in cinemas in 1987 as part of a I-IV marathon at a local cinema (I remember seeing the ad for it in a comic store and was like I gotta go to that!) It was great as back then buying films (on vhs) wasn't the norm (too expensive) so really you just had to wait for them to come on tv (and tape them off there if you had a home video recorder - which I didn't). TMP id never even seen on the big screen just once on tv (and tvs wernt that great back then were they) so that was an event in itself. II had seen once in 82 but was way too young to appreciate it, and once or twice on tv a few years later. id seen III twice in 84 and had forgotten most of it so this was almost like seeing it for the first time again. and IV had seen a couple of times that year already but that was ok as I couldn't get enough of it
