Although Star Trek: The Motion Picture had been a box-office hit, it was by no means a unanimous success with Star Trek fans, who responded much more favorably to the "classic Trek" scenario of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Inspired by the "Space Seed" episode of the original TV series, the film reunites newly promoted Admiral Kirk with his nemesis from the earlier episode--the genetically superior Khan (Ricardo Montalban)--who is now seeking revenge upon Kirk for having been imprisoned on a desolated planet. Their battle ensues over control of the Genesis device, a top-secret Starfleet project enabling entire planets to be transformed into life-supporting worlds, pioneered by the mother (Bibi Besch) of Kirk's estranged and now-adult son. While Mr. Spock mentors the young Vulcan Lt. Saavik (then-newcomer Kirstie Alley), Kirk must battle Khan to the bitter end, through a climactic starship chase and an unexpected crisis that will cost the life of Kirk's closest friend. This was the kind of character-based Trek that fans were waiting for, boosted by spectacular special effects, a great villain (thanks to Montalban's splendidly melodramatic performance), and a deft combination of humor, excitement, and wondrous imagination. Director Nicholas Meyer (who would play a substantial role in the success of future Trek features) handles the film as a combination of Moby Dick, Shakespearean tragedy, World War II submarine thriller, and dazzling science fiction, setting the successful tone for the Trek films that followed. --Jeff Shannon

This movie flat out rocks. I mean it is awesome. Star Trek the Motion Picture was a critical failure, garbage pile that it was, but a financial success. The studio decided to try making one more movie, with a much lower budget. They didn't let Gene Roddenberry have much involvement with this project, which is probably a good thing. They hired Nicholas Meyer to direct this movie, who had no knowledge of Star Trek. He watched the entire original series, and particularly liked the episode "Space ... Read More

You Won't Like Him When He's Angry
The original series Star Trek films were an interesting study in what fans wanted versus what the directors wanted to produce. Some were banal, some were exciting, and some were cursed. Wrath of Khan is seen as one of the more exciting space adventures of Kirk and crew.
As in the first film, "The Motion Picture", the script is based on an earlier episode of the original Trek, except "Wrath" could be called a sequel of sorts.

This was a terrific episode in the original series, developed into a wonderful movie. Ricardo Montalban is the ultimate villain, not just a cut-out bad guy, but charismatic, sympathetic, compelling. If you love the original series and cast members, this movie is for you. They're all here doing what we've always loved. The years have made their relationships more complex and interesting.

If Star Trek: The Motion Picture was the Star Trek film based more on the original TV series philosophical side, then the second would, perhaps, be considered the Star Trek film more in line with the action oriented side of the series. Yet while seeming to be action based, Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan would also have some of the series most dramatic moments as well. The result of this, in the hands of director Nicholas Meyer would be the best of the Star Trek films.

I've watched this so many times that I think I've memorized it. And why not? It's always entertaining. You can't beat Montalban hissing and threatening as the insanely vengeful Khan, Shatner in a controlled performance as the aging Kirk who finds out about a relative he didn't know he had and also loses someone close to him, Bibi Besch as the lovely and sensitive Carol Marcus, Nimoy and Kelley maintaining the right balance for Shatner, Nimoy giving a very moving performance towards the end, and Koenig ...
