Before watching this movie, we had heard it was one of the best Star Trek movies, if not the best! Compared to the first movie and all the slow scenes for the visuals and nostalgia, this movie blew that one out of the water! We loved how it actually focused on the plot! Also, the CGI and effects were outstanding, having updated the transporter effect and the phaser effects! Along with the new effect for going to warp!! Also, to top off the plot, the dialog was excellent! Don't get me wrong, there were things that could have been better, like the fact that Saavik didn't have the eyebrows of a Vulcun or there being some scenes where it sounded like we were listening to it under water. But those very few things can be overlooked when compared to the overall quality of this movie!! If you want to hear the in-depth review and rating of this movie, come and check out Hopeful Reviews!

Oh, hey everybody, there is another review pointing out that this is the greatest Star Trek movie every made. And, hey, there is another review saying how much they loved how it recalled an episode from the original series and turned it into a movie with such high stakes and such a great antagonist. And, hey look, here is yet another review saying how much they loved how it set off a chain of events that lasted for the next few Star Trek movies and forever changed the lives of the Enterprise crew. Yeah, I'm just going to say what everyone else has been saying for about 40 years now... ... but, it is all true. It really is, this movie is fantastic in its own rights, but, in the mythos of the Star Trek universe, it is EPIC, just epic. I almost feel bad reviewing it, you have read this before, over and over again in absolutely every honest review about Khan... but that is only because it is as great as everyone says.

This is much more like it. William Shatner leads our intrepid band of intergalactic explorers on an all action adventure to save the universe for the evil super-intellect of "Khan" (a wonderfully hammy Ricardo Montalban) as he escapes from imprisonment on a desolate desert planet and seeks violent revenge on "Admiral Kirk". This has none of the philosophical pretensions of the first film, it is just a sci-fi shoot 'em up with great visual effects and the occasional chunk of Herman Melville thrown in for theatrical good measure as they strive to stop "genesis" from rearranging everyone's chronometers. Despite the intervention of some interlopers (all part of "Kirk", his past and his love life), the original crew all bond together nicely as we trek towards an exciting conclusion that leaves us well set for "Star Trek III".
