My favorite of all the Star Trek Movies -
MCT:October 30, 2008Hands down the best Star Trek movie ever produced. Humor, a great villain (from an original ST:TOS episode), and great performances from all (who says Shatner can't act?!?). Have tissues ready...

I've always held a special place in my heart and mind for this second installment in the "Star Trek" movie series. Mostly, because this is a movie that appeals to both places.
Not only is this movie loaded with the original characters from the series, it also touches on such subjects as revenge, family, duty, age and, of course, sacrifice. That was the best thing about the series - that it touched on topics that were (pardon the expression) universal, no matter the species.
Everyone is uniformly fine right down the line, especially Montalban's Khan (returned from the "Space Seed" episode of the original series); all hatred, vengeance and single-minded of desire to see his enemy laid out before him. Namely, Kirk.
Alley is rather fetching as Saavik and it's a shame she wasn't carried over to the next film. I can't help but, seeing her on TV anymore, to expect her to raise an eyebrow in contemplation. Buttrick makes a complex character out of David, the son Kirk never knew he had. Hurt feelings and resentment meld somewhat explosively with a new-found father/son relationship.
And what can one say about Spock, Bones, Sulu, Chekov, Uhura and Scotty? They are characters some pivotal to the plot at hand or not, it's always good to see them.
For anyone who hasn't seen the movie, I won't discuss it in great detail. The story is simple enough (scientists find way to rejuvenate life on dead planets; Khan finds escape from prison planet, vows revenge on Kirk), but there is one plot point that will, if you are unfamiliar with it, blow you away. Suffice it to say, never has friendship been elocuted so well in this or any movie before or since.
Ten stars and a special Kobuyashi Maru simulation for "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan". -

Now this is more like it. After the slowness of the first movie we are treated to a great adventure with this one.
Khan is brought back as he seeks revenge on Kirk and I enjoy every line that is spoken from this man. Each scene he is in I drink up as I am amazed at his delivery.
The rest of the cast is on spot as well and the story flows well and feels like a big screen version of the show we knew from days long gone.
It has a great space battle and an ending that always pulls at the ol heart strings.
The music is amazing as well. -

This film took a minor villain from the original series and elevated him to one of the most memorable baddies in movie history. He's the only villain that ever truly humbles and frightens Kirk. Spock's courageous death
