3/6/2006 - STAR TREK 2: THE WRATH OF KHAN

Star Trek 3: The Wrath of Khan #837
[1982 Nicholas Meyer] [DVD Special Edition]
Only the second Star Trek movie length film I have seen (other than Star Trek: Insurrection). In this film, Khan (original villian from 1967 episode Space Seed), returns for revenge against Spock and James Kirk. This film loses interest as it moves on, mainly because the performances are very wooden. However, I was extremley impressed by James Kirk's entrance, behind smoke and darkness and the reference to past Star Trek episodes. It was interesting to see Ricarldo Montalban reprise a role from 25 years earlier. 2/5

Film Notes: Kirstie Alley's film debut.
Film Title: 'Wrath of Khan' references the character 'Khan' portrayed by Ricarldo Montalban in a 1967 Star Trek episode called 'Space Seed' and his attempt at revenge on Spock and Kirk (hence his 'wrath').
