Editorial Reviews

Regarded by many Star Trek aficionados as the best of all the feature films based on the popular TV series, The Wrath of Khan synthesizes the show's best qualities and revives its most memorable villain in Ricardo Montalban's Khan. Escaping from the planet on which he and his followers have been exiled, the nefarious Khan hijacks a starship and threatens to deploy the doomsday weapon "Genesis." He's challenged by Admiral James T. Kirk, recently coaxed from retirement to command his beloved U S S Enterprise again. Director Nicholas Meyer (Time After Time) imparts an epic sensibility to this adventure while retaining the show's mythology and reuniting Kirk with his lost love (Bibi Besch). Montalban nearly steals the show with his bravura performance as Khan, and Kirstie Alley makes her screen debut as one of Spock's fellow Vulcans. The Wrath of Khan is rousing, flamboyant space opera certain to please Trekkers of all ages. Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble

July 29, 2006: In my estimation, this DVD is by far the best Star Trek film I have ever seen. It is the one that gets closest to "the heart of the matter." It's the Star Trek film where everybody are dealing with very real human emotions. Shatner, as the iconic Captain Kirk, faces his greatest adversary in the form of Khan and faces his mortality. He comes into his own in this film because there's a kind of resolution to things in this volume that's not in the other ones. Star Trek,,, Live Long and Prosper!

Star Trek Doesn't Get Any Better Than Thisby Anonymous

August 10, 2004: I knew 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan' had reached celebrity status in the pantheon of science fiction films when I was watching 'Daddy Day Care' recently and saw the memorable scene where the day care dads re-enact 'The Wrath of Khan' as a puppet show for the kids. All I could think of was 'Wow! How can I become young again and go to that day care!!!' 22 years later, and this movie is still going strong! It is powered by a very high octane mixture of outstanding ship-to-ship space battles, incredible music and soundtrack, tons of nautical references that will make any Navy buff proud, a cliffhanger ending worthy of the Star Trek series, and an outstanding performance by William Shatner as the indominatable Captain Kirk. This entire film should be bronzed and put in the Library of Congress under a glowing lamp in the entrance foyer. Who can forget Ricardo Montalban as a taunting Khan who chases Kirk round the nebula while quoting extended passages from 'Moby Dick'? Who can forget the tragic human moment of Captain Kirk, in his arrogant swash and bragger, running the Enterprise against the enemy Reliant with the shields down? This is the type of film that demands to be owned and watched on DVD - accept no substitute! Any science fiction fan who does not have this film in their collection should be strung up by their fellow DVD breathen and sentenced to a long and harsh sentence of watching 'Step Mom' on VHS.
