The Best Trek!
By John-James Worrall from Warrington , 06 Nov 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
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.- Was this review helpful to you?

(42)Ultimate Trek
By TheWatchman (521 reviews) from Suburbia , 07 May 2013While many will hail the 2009 Star Trek reboot as the best ever outing of the franchise, it may have the special effects and the adrenaline rush to even rival Star Wars, but, somehow, it doesn’t have the sheer dark moodiness of The Wrath of Khan. The second Trek film is helped by the fact that it follows a not particularly well-received first movie, therefore many considered that anything was a step up. However, the franchise seemed to step too far (where no man has gone before, perhaps?) and created a movie that has yet to be topped. Here we see Kirk up against an old foe from the TV series, genetically-engineers super psycho, Khan. It’s a homicidal game of cat and mouse as they constantly chase and elude each other until they come to the ultimate climax – the death of one of the regular cast members (I’m sure you know which one!). Whereas one of the Star Wars franchises main strengths is its sheer ‘mass appeal.’ It’s hard to find anyone who hasn’t at least watched (and most likely enjoyed) one of the films. However, Star Trek will always carry more of a stigma about it and there are connotations of nerdy geeks wearing tight-fitting costumes at science-fiction conventions. That’s the reason that, no matter how good a Trek film is, it’s unlikely to win over many new fans. The Wrath of Khan will always live as the fans’ favourite, until you come to the next generation (of us fanboys, not the cast from the eighties) who may well choose the 2009 reboot. If you like your sci-fi a little more moody and intense than simply a little pointy-eared green man talking backwards and then whacking a bloke in a cloak with a glowing stick, then you may just enjoy this, too.- Was this review helpful to you?

The Best Trek Film to Feature The Original Crew.
By MAXIMILIAN (180 reviews) from BURNHAM , 05 Aug 2012STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN is the best film in the Star Trek canon to feature the original crew. It's plot touches on revenge, madness, sacrifice, friendship, ageing and mortality. Aswell as all this it has humour, genuine suspense and tension and great space dogfights between the Enterprise and the Reliant. The late, great RICARDO MONTALBAN gives a career-best performance as the antagonist KHAN,and SPOCK's death scene at the end still gives you a lump in the throat. The Blu-Ray extras are informative and Director NICHOLAS MEYER's commentary reveals that he is a very clever man as he talks about a whole range of topics. The only thing wrong with KHAN is the fact that JERRY GOLDSMITH didn't come back to score the film (it was deemed too expensive to hire him), so JAMES HORNER was brought in to replace him and HORNER did a great job, but his music doesn't quite get under your skin (like one of KHAN's ear bugs) in the same way as GOLDSMITH's score for STAR TREK - THE MOTION PICTURE did.- Was this review helpful to you?

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNN!! (Angry Shat)
By Sweenpole (6 reviews) , 21 Feb 2012This is by far the greatest Star Trek film ever written. All the rest were pretty poor until First Contact to be honest. This film has got it all, evil villains, ear slugs, more beaming that you can shake a photon at and most importantly 'Angry Kirk' screaming KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!- Was this review helpful to you?

'I don't like to lose'
By a customer , 13 Feb 2012Awesome film.
Arguably the best Star Trek film ever made. Only film that comes close is First Contact but that is TNG so technically different category.
Enjoy.- Was this review helpful to you?
