I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Crappy film

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

The acting in this movie is really good.

I'm not a real fan of Star Trek; I saw a few episodes of the 1960's television series and found them amusing, which was the idea. The show was not a comedy or parody as such, but it kept the tone interesting. My favorite part when there was a shore leave fight between the Enterprise crew and some Klingons, and when Captain Kirk asks if the fight was over his being insulted, he is dismayed to be told no.I picked this one up because I heard it was supposed to be the best of the 1980's Star Trek movies, but found it disappointing and didn't finish it. It drags on, makes its points about Kirk being in a midlife crisis early on and goes on too long with the idea, and the villain Khan is not frightening like he should have been, I remember all the fuss by fans when the original movie came out and how that turned out to be nothing special. I had high hopes for this one because it was supposed to be the best, and learned the lesson that the other movies must have been even worse.

Having been one of the shows that was part of my childhood and growing up, the original 'Star Trek' still holds up as great and ground-breaking, even if not perfect.'Star Trek: The Motion Picture', to me, is a better film than its reputation but was also a disappointment and could have been much better. Every film franchise has to start somewhere, and 'The Motion Picture' paved the way to better films. Of which the second film 'The Wrath of Khan' is among the best, a strong contender for the best. Much appreciated its darker tone, emotional wallop and that it was much better paced and action-oriented than 'The Motion Picture'.It may not be as visually stunning as 'The Motion Picture' (the production values is one of only two areas that is done better in that film to here), and William Shatner still goes overboard in his acting. Then again Shatner was never known for subtlety and when he was restrained (like 1958's 'The Brothers Karamazov') those instances were rare.'The Wrath of Khan' is hardly cheap-looking though, having better production values generally than the original series. The sets are more elaborate, the photography is moody and stylish and the special effects are hardly hokey. While Jerry Goldsmith's music is missed a little, James Horner is more than up to the plate, not as rousing but typically beautifully orchestrated and high in the thrills factor. The sound effects are suitably eerie.Writing is an improvement, getting to the point more and less talk heavy, it is very intelligent and thought-provoking without being overly serious. The story has no pacing issues, being much tighter and with much more going on. Credit is due too for exploring (beautifully) dark and universal themes. Nicholas Meyer is a more than welcome replacement, showing more of a sense of loyalty to the original series while bringing his own style without being too ambitious.Acting, with the exception of Shatner, is good. Leonard Nimoy has rarely been more moving, with a truly powerful final scene, and Riccardo Montalban rarely so deliciously campy (without ever hurting the film's tone and still being entertaining) and also menacing. No pointless or underwritten characters here.Overall, great and one of the best 'Star Trek' films. 9/10 Bethany Cox

"Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan" is a much needed improvement over its more expensive but poor predecessor. The above film actually delivers what it promises, via a good story, some action, fairly good acting and a brilliant villain in the form of Ricardo Monteban (excuse the poor spelling). The violence is rather explicit for a "Star Trek" film and indeed, a few edits were made before the film went out on general release. The budget had to be greatly reduced but it is of little consequence. The film picks up after the episode called "Space Seed" (one of the very best from the series). I rate "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan" as one of the defining ones, easily.

I still remembered most of this film from my childhood, I was 10 years old when my parents to me to see it... I saw it a handful of times as a teen too. All these years later I still find the film just as great to watch as I did when it first came out. Who in the heck can forget those creatures in the ears?! *Shivers* How can I forget the battles between Kirk and Khan or the saddest ending in Star Trek history?! There is a reason for this film to be a top pick of all the Star Trek films among the fans - it's highly entertaining.Kirk's old nemesis Khan is back for revenge. Khan blames Kirk for the death of his wife and will stop at nothing to get back at Kirk. There is also a device called Genesis which brings death to life and, likewise, life to death. Khan wants it and it's up to Kirk and Crew to stop him before he kills them.You do not have to watch the Original Film in order to watch Wrath of Khan... this is another story or chapter in the voyages of the starship Enterprise.10/10
