Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Pros: Great story, good special effects, the ending.
Cons: Do I have to list a con?

In my opinion, this is the best Star Trek movie. It is one of those movies I can watch over and over again. From the music to the story, I love every aspect of this film. Captain Kirk has been promoted to admiral and currently works on Earth. ...

Pros: Great acting, plot, effects, musical score.
Cons: DVD remastering could be better.

There’s an old adage among Trekkies that the even numbered films in the series are the best. That holds true, at least until the sixth film, I think (though that one was better than the fifth). And since the premise begins with Star Trek II: The ...

Pros: well-written story, keeps you in suspense
Cons: the ending, some plot holes if you haven't seen Space Seed from the original series

This was the first of the Star Trek movies that was completely developed for the big screen featuring the original cast - and in better uniforms!

Kirk is now an Admiral. Training young recruits is not exciting, but he appears to...

Pros: Nick Meyer's directing, Harve Bennett's input, a great plot, and Khan (Ricardo Montalban).
Cons: No major Khans, er, cons.

Part One: Odds and Evens. When I first wrote a review of a Star Trek film for Epinions back in December of '03, I figured tackling the series in sequential order would be a good approach. After all, the 10-film series has at least a semblance of ...

Pros: Meyers, Shatner and Nimoy.
Cons: None.

For me, the one Star Trek film in the series that continued into The Next Generation that will stand the test of time, is Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan. It came on the heels of the first film, Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The first screen Trek was ...

Pros: Very complete and satisfying movie with a great plot, good acting and some goo effects.
Cons: May only appeal to sci-fi fans.

After watching the first Star Trek Movie (The Motion Picture) and being utterly disappointed, I did begin to re-watch the series. While it’s still not my favorite Star Trek series, it did kindle my interest and it was therefore with part trepidation ...

Pros: Strong writing, great cast, wonderful direction - a real winner.
Cons: It's a pity the rest of the Star Trek series isnt this good.

If you ask 10 just average men on the street which one was the best Star Trek flick, usually 9 times out of 10 you'll get an answer like "That one with the guy from Fantasy Island", with the 10th time being a Star Trek nerd who goes on at length ...

Pros: Great Action, Non Stop
Cons: None

Ricardo Montalban was GREAT! He played the part of a individual that was tormented by grief and revenge and that was all that kept him going. He hated, he knew who he hated, and he wanted nothing more from life except to get even with who he hated,...

Pros: Widescreen format, great sound, best acting and writing of the series
Cons: NO EXTRAS

Let me say first of all, that this is a review of the movie ON DVD, not necessarily of the content of the film itself. I personally think that Star Trek II is the best of the Star Trek flicks, even better than First Contact. A lot of wonderful themes...

Pros: the end scene with Spock and Kirk
Cons: the scene where that critter was put in Chekov's ear

After the floundering "Ster Trek: The Motion Picture" (couldn't they have come up with a better title than THAT?), this movie is a glorious triumph. Following up on an episode in the show's first season, the movie centers around Khan, a...

Pros: strong acting performances and much more convincing dialogue, well shot action scenes
Cons: CONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is my favorite movie. I couldn’t say how many times I’ve watched it, but I had a taped copy of its television premier from 1983 or so (judging by the Pontiac commercials, heh). It’s interesting to note that ...

Pros: Excellent plot, Character elements, Effects, DVD bonuses, Great acting
Cons: None!

Following on the heels of the "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" The Director's Cut (reviewed at: ht tp://www.epinions.com/content_ 52546342532 ) which remixed and redid the special effects of the first, dreadfully slow ...

Pros: Great visual effects and soundtrack
Cons: Some unbelievably bad acting by minor characters

One of the things that I love about television or movies is when a really popular program decides to return several years later to produce a sequel or resolution to a particular situation. I’m sure that most of us (who were old enough) to remember the...

Pros: Decent story, Elements of the original series are back in this movie.
Cons: There are much better Star Trek plots available.

Introduction Although Star Trek - The Motion Picture was way below expectations, I decided to go ahead and check out the second big screen movie of the series, Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan. The decision turned out to be good. ...

Pros: Ricardo Montalban's performance, exciting space battles, wonderful themes
Cons: Some of Star Trek's most gruesome moments.... also drawn out in places.

In the 23rd century, fifteen years have gone by since Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and his gallant crew of various different races and species once travelled the galaxy aboard their starship- the USS Enterprise. Now Kirk is an Admiral, and has...
