Summary: Easily the Best Trek Film
Review: The most literate and character-driven Star Trek film, this second outing takes the series to a level not yet repeated. An aging Kirk goes head-to-head with old nemesis Khan (played with convincing wrath by Montalban) in a multi-layered story that ultimately forces him to confront his own flaws and mortality. Moreover, secondary characters, particularly Spock, shine in moments that may actually bring a tear to your eye. Superb special effects, a suitably nautical score by Horner, a wonderfully subdued tone marred only by occasional corniness, and a bravo performance by Shatner make this one a must-see. Although the DVD lacks extra scenes (strangely, shown on TV several times), the widescreen view allows your eye to savor details, even director Meyer's typical anachronistic ones (check out the "no smoking" sign and obvious 20th-century fire extinguishers.).

Summary: Khan -- The best Star Trek Villain
Review: I have to admit that I never watched the Star Trek TV series much,but I love the movies.I'd say Wrath of Khan is no.2 on my list behind Star Trek VI.The special effects are great,the musical score by James Horner is very good,and it's got the best villain in a Star Trek film,Khan.I really like the chemistry between the cast,especially Kirk,Spock,And McCoy,and I loved Kirstie Alley in the role of Saavik,it's just to bad she didn't come back in Star Trek III&IV.Overall,I'd say it's a great film and one of my favorite sci-fi films.

Summary: Along with 2001: A Space Oddesy. . .
Review: . . .this film is, by far, the greatest pure science-fiction movie ever made, regardless of whether or not one is normally a fan of "Star Trek".A quality drama, with good character development, wonderful special effects, a remarkable villain (played with incredible melodrama by Ricardo Montelban), and an unbelievably powerful and emotional ending (complete with the catharsis of a Greek tragedy) make this the most unforgettable movie in the "Star Trek" series -- and arguably one of the greatest Sci-fi flicks of all time.

Summary: A Great Start
Review: "The Wrath of Khan" begins an important set of events in the entire Star Trek saga as well as being the basis of an exciting trilogy. "Khan" is more of a sequel to the "Space Seed" episode than to the first Star Trek film. The events that happen in this installment are actually just run of the mill Star Trek fare. What's special about it is the way the characters are presented. Kirk, Spock and company are years older than they were on the series and they are well into middle age. With this graduation they are presented with much more wisdom than before, even Kirk. The characters in this installment haven't been given such noble traits since the "City on the Edge of Forever" episode in 1967. There is greater sense of danger than ever before for these characters and it is a decision that one of them makes which will take the film series into an exciting direction. This is where Star Trek got good!

Summary: Great Movie - Horrible Transfer!
Review: This is probably my favorite ST movie. Ricardo plays a great role and this is a great 'tactical' battle that holds a lot of suspense. Unfortunately the transfer to DVD is one of the worst that I have seen and heard. The transitions in the movie are crude and the quality is only ok, at best. The audio portion would rate in the negative scale. Switching from 5.1 to Dolby produced no difference, it sounds like it was recorded underwater.

Summary: A DVD review
Review: Good picture and sound, no extras other than a trailer. I hoped for a little more from this DVD. One I have in my collection because it's my second favorite Star Trek film. I might wait for a special edition version.

Summary: "Live Long And Prosper!"
Review: This is the second best film in the TREK series (STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY is the best). Wonderfully made, the film finally started taking on new storylines, instead of borrowing from the original series (which they did for the phenomanally successful STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE). Khan is still, in my opinion, one of the greatest foes Kirk ever had to face. The only downfall: Spock dies. I was unhappy at first. But when they brought him back in STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK, I really didn't mind. This film is for all of them TREK fans out there. Beam up this movie today! Grade: A+

Summary: KHAN ! The best evildoer in space !!
Review: From 1982, this is by far my choice for best Star Trek. The story is interesting, it's exceptionally well written, and William Shatner looks mighty fine. What makes this film special and worth 5 stars, is my all time favorite screen villain, Khan. Ricardo Montalban is absolutely fabulous. There are subtleties in this performance that make it a joy to watch repeatedly...his expressive, beautiful hands, his amazing voice..."Let them eat static !". This is not a one-dimensional character. He is smooth, evil, and even sympathetic at times. What a stupendous bad guy ! I must add a personal anecdote about the man behind this marvelous villain. Mr. Montalban is the kindest, most giving soul I have ever met. I'm sure he had no idea, nearly 40 years ago, what a huge impact his humanity had on my life. Thank you Ricardo, for being a guardian angel on this earth.
