Konterr Brilliant and touching
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
merelyaninnuendo Star Trek : The Wrath Of KhanThe primary reason why the feature is still loved and buzzed for, is that it ages well and the scrutiny in here focuses more on the simplicity of the emotion that is revenge, and keeps it more humane going man-to-man and street methods; it is more grounded. It is short on technical aspects like visual effects, sound department, production design, costume design and editing. The script has a lot of crispness in it to make it to screen and offer the audience the essential cinematic experience but what it lacks is enough concrete material to feed the audience for its almost two hours. Nicholas Meyers; the screenwriter-director, has got the appropriate vision and even though he fails to execute it as anticipated, the impact makes it worth the effort and time in here. The performance is plausible in here especially by the newer member Khan played by Ricardo Monatalbam and stayed true to their return roles by William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and Deforest Kelly as a supporting cast. Star Trek : The Wrath Of Khan encourages the enraging behavior and allows the audience to shift on definite answers through moral complications and nail-biting dramatic sequences.
jodyfranz I am a Trekkie for sure, I love ALL Star Trek, but this movie holds a special place in my heart for me. It reminds me of when I saw it for the first time... those ear things.... ugh! An action movie set in space with the cast of the original Star Trek show. It has the feel of a big picture blockbuster and even though its from the 80's it holds up (for me at least). A great movie for anyone Trekkies or not.
cinemajesty Movie Review: "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan" (1982)After initial television visionary producer Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991) departing from producing the metaphysical, ultra-high-budgeted "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" directed by four-times-Academy-Award-winning director Robert Wise (1914-2005), Harve Bennett (1930-2015) takes over with less than a third of the original production budget in season 1981/1982 to grant Academy-Award-nominated screenwriter Nicholas Meyer the chance to create a high-stake poker game of a Hollywood entertainment powerhouse Movie by revisiting the title-given nemesis character "Khan" in reprising portrayal by actor Ricardo Mantalban (1920-2009) after the Kirk-challenging character's first appearance in Episode 22 of "Star Trek" Season 1 in 1966/1967.Captain James T. Kirk, performed by now in full-bloom action-beats-sharing actor William Shatner, put on an astoinishing tense confrontation between to spaceship commanding characters in thrilling scenes of a screenplay written by Jack B. Sowards (1929-2007), who together with the director Nicholas Meyer bring a fast-paced science-fiction-action opera into motion that any spectator, who has the chance to watch in a restorated color-graded as 5.1 dolby digital sound certified entertainment system to further witness a never-seen-before twisted thriller-movie set in infinite space of friendship, teamplay, faith, betrayal and ultimate sacrifice to drop to the knees to, because boldness of that kind in story-telling remains hardly missed in an over-populated comic book action operettes of contemporary 2010s event movie cinema. © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
Cameronius Explodius McMonius This is the first Star Trek thing I have ever watched; I haven't watched the original series, the first movie (because that isn't supposed to be too good) or the reboots. This is ultimately a movie about friendship (more details on that soon) and the film was much darker than I expected, nothing really campy here. The first movie was really all about the effects and action whereas this one focuses more on the story which I like. The original creator of the series was disapproving of this movie because of the darker tone. I'm glad they chose Nicholas Meyer to direct because he was opting for a more interesting story rather than cheesy over-the-top stuff because movies had moved on since then while still keeping the original essence in there. I think if someone else directed then this probably would've just been another bland forgettable Star Trek movie. Khan was a good villain, he connects with Kirk as they used to be friends and now they're enemies (adding to the friendship theme of this movie). His motivation was also clear and just wanted revenge, rather than power. The characters were likable enough. There wasn't't much background on them however I'll let it off because it is a sequel to a film which was linked to a TV show and stuff could've easily been explained there. It was just great to see their presence on screen. The effects were quite bright and colourful which didn't really fit with the dark theme of the movie, however they aren't used much and thankfully they aren't the main focus. I'm glad that this movie wasn't't just cheesy and did have a proper interesting story. I really liked the ending. I think this movie definitely sounded a lot better on paper, as the final product didn't have too much of interest in it to fill in the gaps of the story if you understand what I'm saying and it wasn't'y really as exciting or involving as I wanted it to be. Overall, I did like this movie. It wasn't't as good as I expected but it was still pretty decent. If you've never seen a Star Trek movie before this could be a good place to start or for a better experience watch the TV series first and then watch this, skip the first film. 7.4/10
