    This big-screen sequel to the 1967 TV episode Space Seed is truer in spirit to the beloved space opera than the first feature and a firm favourite with some fans. Here, genetic superman Ricardo Montalban wreaks vengeance against the Enterprise crew for sending him to a prison colony. Nicholas Meyer — who also directed Star Trek VI — stresses the narrative values that made the original series so compelling and vibrantly weaves the thematic motifs of life, loss and adventure together as he expertly continues the saga. Leonard Nimoy has rarely been so moving.

    The Best Trek!

    KHAAAAN!

    The second Trek installment went back to the Original Series and took the best elements, mixed them in with a good budget, fine story and top class direction. The result the best Trek movie ever.

    The directors edition of this is a little redundant. There are a few little interesting aditions, but it is most notable fo rthe ommision of the confirmations of Savikks half Romulan parentage (showing that Kirsty Alley was not a poor actress by showing an emotional vulcan). The scene exists as any quick search on Google will get you an MPEG of Kirk and Spock discussing this after the Simulator exercise.

    Mayers commentary is hard work to listen to. He's not exactly the captivating of speakers. But in the end who cares. Ricardo Montalban plays the ultimate adversary for Kirk and dominates every scene he is in. Shatner presents a more mature Kirk than in even later movies and the cast work well.

    By far the best paced, most entertaining Trek movie. Enjoyable even for non-Trekkers.

    Rated - 4 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    The Best Star Trek Film

    I'm not a massive fan of Star Trek, but as a science fiction fan I tend to watch most of the Trek films.

    This one is a corker. This is easily the best written, best acted, and best looking of the star trek franchise. William Shatner does his best acting job to date, creating a very believable 3D character - There are some genuine moments of pathos in this film, where the consequeces of war are all too real. The story is an age old tale of revenge, and redemption told as space opera (George Lucas take note), the special effects do look a little dated by todays standard, but they all play an integral role in the story. The space battle near the end like ancient Galleons squaring up is excellent. There will be no dry eye in the house when the film ends.

    So why only 4 stars? The Transfer to DVD is very grainy. This film deserves a Star Wars style digital makeover.
