Info

It is the 23rd century. The Federation Starship U.S.S. Enterprise is on routine training maneuvers and Admiral James T. Kirk seems resigned to the fact that this inspection may well be the last space mission of his career. But Khan is back. Aided by his exiled band of genetic supermen, Khan - brilliant renegade of 20th century Earth - has raided Space Station Regula One, stolen a top secret device called Project Genesis, wrested control of another Federation Starship and sets out in pursuit of the Enterprise, determined to let nothing stand in the way of his mission: kill Admiral Kirk... even if it means universal Armageddon.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Audience Reviews

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Osmosis Iron The best Star Trek movie, and among the finest of the genre! The effects and look still hold up today, but the main draw here is obviously the plot! A tale of revenge and and sacrifice, that plays out much like a Greek tragedy in space. With plenty of memorable characters and quotable lines! If you wanna know what all the fuss is about Star Trek, see this film!
TownRootGuy I love Star Trek so it should come as no surprise to other fans that this is one of two in the series that I consider worthy of an 11. 'The Voyage Home' is the other. I don't know which I like best, they're both fantastic. This has an outstanding cast, great action, good FX, an excellent bad guy AND more funny than you might expect from a revenge plot. If you ask a Star Trek fan which movie is their favorite, it's probably this one or the 4th one. If you ask them which one has the best villain, it's this one. This show is superb and I can watch it yearly.
Drew Malone It's my second favorite Trek movie after First Contact. Much superior to the JJ. Abrams remake in 2013. I give it a 8/10 for the following reasons in order of best feature to lesser feature 1. The Score by James Horner is absolutely what drives the major scenes in this film. When the Reliant and the Enterprise meet for the first time, the score anticipates the danger, Kirk doesn't know he is in. It also illustrates Khan's character as imminently dangerous and reckless. See also the masterpiece Mutara Nebula Score 2. The Character's are fantastic, in particular Ricardo Montalban as Khan. You can see Montalban really enjoys playing the revenge obsessed character. And I enjoyed watching Khan pursue Kirk all over the place. Khan is so consumed by his hate for Kirk that he fails to remember he has the Genesis weapon that he can leverage over the galaxy. In Space Seed they say Khan ruled 1/4 of Earth in the 1990's. Yet, because of his obsession he fails to have any conception of the bigger picture. Shatner does well in this film provoking Khan. And of course Spock's sacrifice for the ship is a tear jerk-er. Such a well acted and genuinely sad scene for anyone who calls themselves a Trek fan.3. The modeling of the ships in this movie were beautiful and made the movie quite artful in ways. I am particularly referring to the Battle in the Mutara Nebula.What the movie lacks: 1. Not a big fan of the sets. They are pretty plain and not very colorful. Not a big fan of the uniforms either. But that's just me.2. The Theme of whether or not people should have the ability to choose what is to be created/ destroyed is very interesting, but is not carried through the movie as well as it could be.8/10
alexanderdavies-99382 "Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan" is a much needed improvement over its more expensive but poor predecessor. The above film actually delivers what it promises, via a good story, some action, fairly good acting and a brilliant villain in the form of Ricardo Monteban (excuse the poor spelling). The violence is rather explicit for a "Star Trek" film and indeed, a few edits were made before the film went out on general release. The budget had to be greatly reduced but it is of little consequence. The film picks up after the episode called "Space Seed" (one of the very best from the series). I rate "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan" as one of the defining ones, easily.
