Summary: Khan Lives!!
Review: This is the best of the Star Trek movies bar none. Its the only one i will review as i would give them all a 5* rating and in truth this one is most likely the only one deserving of such (except maybe for III and IV). Khan is alive and on the loose. His heart is full of hate for Kirk and he will stop at nothing to destroy him and perhaps the universe as we know it. If you buy only one of the original crew Star Trek movies this is the one. Of course after this one Star Trek III The Search for Spock will be a must have as well.

Summary: The best of the best
Review: I think all the Star Trek movies have their strong points, but Star Trek II is definitely the best of the bunch-- followed closely by Star Trek: The Motion Picture, The Search for Spock, The Undiscovered Country, and Generations. Great acting, great musical score, great story, great movie.

Summary: A teriffic, action packed movie
Review: This was a big success. I like Kahn in Star Trek. I don't want to spoil this movie, but I can say that this was directed very well, and it has a teriffic amount of action. But this movie is also very sad as well as funny. Why? You'll have to find out for yourself. Enjoy!

Summary: By Far The Best Of The Star Trek Films!
Review: This second of now several Star Trek motion pictures, in my opinion, is the best of the lot! Lots of great action is in store for the Enterprise & crew in this 1982 space adventure! Ricardo Montalban is excellent as the main bad guy, Khan, resurrecting his role from the TV series. Any Trek fan will love this picture!

Summary: Live long and prosper with this DVD!
Review: Indeed, it is one of the best "Star Trek" movies of all that tells a good story with a very perfect villain! This sequel to the "Space Seed" episode is a perfect vehicle for bringing back Khan(brilliantly played by Ricardo Montalban) to take his revenge on Admiral Kirk(William Shatner: the man!), and the crew of the starship Enterprise! Having been left on the planet Ceti Alpha V by Captain Kirk, Khan is accidently discovered by a federation starship! Soon Khan takes control of the ship, and a very powerful weapon called Genesis, for his plan to finish off Kirk once and for all. With time running out, it's up to our federation heroes to save the universe! Fast paced, and action-packed, it's a must for any "Star Trek" fan!!!

Summary: Worthwhile sequel and one of the best trek films.
Review: This film is not as good as First Contact or The Voyage Home but this film looks and feels more like a trek film then the first film outing it is in no means a perfect film but for
those who did not like the first film will no doubt enjoy the
action and the danger and the drama that this film presents in
my opinon this is my fourth favorite of the films.But this one
has a tone to it that makes it feel as if it were from the show
,but in fact it is a continuation of a Star Trek episode Space
Seed much bigger and more specal effects, director Nicholas
Myer who also directed The Undiscoverd Country brought this
sequel to the screen.Admiral Kirk is heading up a training crew
but he want's command of his starship.Meanwhile on City Alpha 5
, a crew with Chekov on board is investigating reports of a life
form on the baron planet ,Chekov get's an intuiton that the ship
may be known to him and there's danger involved but when they try to escape it's to late as Kirk's arch nemisis Kahn stops
them from leaving , a group of scientists are in development
of the genisis torpedo ,Kahn gain control of the ship and
begins to presue Kirk at all costs , they clash in battle for
one it is revenge , for the other it is the chance to redeem
himself as a starfleet captain but at the cost of his one true
freind spock who dies while saving the ship from danger in this
action packed Star Trek sequel. Not much options except a trailer but a worthy addition to your DVD collection.

Summary: The best of the classic Trek cast
Review: Star Trek has great potential to be stuck in the hokey-schlok-weird-alien-meets-handsome-human-explorer rut. Although the franchise still occasionally visits this pit, more often than not it avoids the fall. Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan works the best out of all the classic Trek movies (ending with The Undiscovered Country) because of its superior story and action, its special effects (which still look pretty good today) and direction. Wrath of Khan also caters two strengths Star Trek that have made the franchise so enduring: character and theme. There are universal themes throughout the movie that make this sci-fi world applicable to our own; aging, facing and confronting death, the value of life, etc. The themes are subtly woven into the text and character interaction so that they're not didactic bombardment, but rather thoughts to be examined later. Another great part of this movie is that this was the first time that you saw your favorite Trek characters and its beloved ship actually wounded to a severe extent, physically and emotionally, by an unexpected, malevolent force. The stakes had never been this high before. This was a true crises and its wonderful to see the shock, the response, and the ultimate price. This review has a 4.5 star rating actually, and the only downgrade is for the low, occasionally rotten, acting. Most of the time the cast sticks to their roles admirably, but some lines (particularly by Shatner and Montalban) are either grossly underdone or laughably overdone. Nevertheless, the script (by long-time Trek writer Harve Bennett) and solid direction of Nicholas Meyer move the story at just the right pace. Plus, they manage to create a truly honest, tender moment between Kirk (Shatner) and his son, David. With a notoriously over the top actor like Shatner, creating that kind of moment is a true accomplishment. Don't let the acting fool you. This is a beautiful script and a well told story.

Summary: The Best Star Trek Film and More
Review: Not only was this the best of the films, but I feel it outstrips any of the episodes as well. One of the key reasons for this is the comraderie between Kirk, Spock and McCoy had become that of life-long friends who had been through unbelievable adventures together...and you believed it. The characters had matured and you felt genuine reactions to thier trials.
Ricardo's Kahn was perfect, expanding on his role from 'Space Seed' to the extent that we saw someone who felt a little less superior after losing his wife and living with both failure and the desire for revenge for so long. This is a villian who didn't just want Kirk dead; he wanted him to suffer.
Spocks death still brings a tear to my eye after all this time. Even though the powers-that-be decided to bow to pressure to bring him back in 3, it still stands out.

Summary: Really Gets You Going
Review: The Wrath Of Kahn is probably the second best show, but I'm not really sure because I stopped seeing them nearly half a year ago. Anyway, the "Napoleon" from the Eugenics Wars comes back and seeks revenge on Admiral Kirk. Then it erupts into a mean battle when Sulu lowers the Reliant's shields and blows some of her. But I'm not telling you any more since it's better than any battle. Enjoy seeing this motion picture.

Summary: Classic Trek...
Review: The Wrath of Khan is the best and most dramatic Trek movie, featuring vigorous acting from Ricardo Montalban, a great script and explosive (for Trek) special effects. The scene when those brain bugs go into the ears of two of the characters still gives me the creeps! After this, the Trek movies seem to get more and more ponderous, as if the Trek cast, crew and production company are all-too-aware of their cult status. Trek 4, Trek 6 and Star Trek: First Contact are the best theatrical Trek films, IMHO. Enjoy!
