Additional Features

On the DVD commentary track, Nicholas Meyer discusses his directing philosophy, how he scrimped to stay under budget (Wrath of Khan was the cheapest Star Trek film), and his nautical approach to Trek, but he doesn't dissect all the various bits of footage (only a few minutes total, with the most substantial change explaining Midshipman 1st Class Peter Preston's connection to Commander Scott) that went into the director's cut DVD. For those kinds of technical details and trivia, switch on the subtitled commentary track by Michael Okuda (who cowrote The Star Trek Encyclopedia and did the same honors on the Star Trek: The Motion Picture DVD). Disc 2 offers substantial featurettes on how the story developed and how the costumes, ships, and sets were designed, highlighted by new interviews of Meyer, producer-writer Harve Bennett, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and Ricardo Montalban. There are also 8 minutes of 1982 interviews, 13 storyboard archives, and a feature that might seem like a 27-minute commercial for Star Trek books, but is actually an interesting and lighthearted look at how novelists create the back story for such topics as the Kobayashi Maru test and the Eugenics Wars, which feature prominently in Khan. --David Horiuchi

Amazon.com Essential Video

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

5.0étoiles sur 5 'The Wrath of Khan' A Magnificent Masterpiece, Oct. 5 2002
Par M. Jarrett "SoundgardenFanForLife" (New England, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Though THE MOTION PICTURE began the Trek movie endeavors, it was STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN that really brought out the best for Trek fans everywhere. With magnificent battles, thrilling special effects, and the superb acting of Ricardo Montablan, THE WRATH OF KHAN is a thrill-ride from start to finish. I also liked seeing Kirstey Alley as Lt. Saavik, and she does a surprisingly nice job as the curious and charming Saavik. And Berritt Mutrick does a splendid job as the son of Kirk.

THE WRATH OF KHAN deals with the story of Khan's return, and his plans to snag his hands on the Genesis Project for his own deadly plans, and when he hijacks the USS Reliant and its crew, Kirk and the crew must stop him before it's too late. The battle scenes, especially in the Motara Nebula, are brilliant, and well done. You'll find yourself satisfied after you watch this movie, and left with a feeling that it got more than just it's job done for all the Trek fans.

THE WRATH OF KHAN also concludes with the "temporary" death of Spock, who gave his marbles to McCoy so that it would be possible to revive him in the next movie, THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK. Exhilirating, fast-paced, and with great savvy intelligence, this is one Trek you'll want to watch again and again! Highly recommended!

3.0étoiles sur 5 i think it's a better than number one, Aoû 16 2007
Par falcon "disdressed12" (canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
i think this movie is a bit better than the first one.it starts off better,with some action right off the bat.it slows down somewhat not long after,but it's not as boring as number one.i think it is better paced,and i feel it is also is written better.the dialogue is more interesting.there is more of a story to this one,and the villain is pretty well defined.there is a bit of suspense and excitement in this one,which i found lacking in the first one.also the characters are given much more to do in this one.i do think the last 30 minutes or so kind of drag though.even though this one is better than the first,there is certainly room for improvement,in my view.its' still not that great.i'll give Star Trek 2:The wrath of Khan:3/5

4.0étoiles sur 5 Kirk's Little Training Cruises Inc., Janv. 26 2007
Par Craobh Rua "Craobh Rua" (N. Ireland) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
"The Wrath of Khan" was the second of the Star Trek movies and focuses on the crew of the original television series. Directed by Nicholas Meyer, who also made a significant but uncredited contribution to the screenplay, it hit the movie screens in 1982.

The film opens in 2285 during a 'Kobayashi Maru' simulation at Starfleet Academy - this is a no-win situation, designed to test the character and resolve of Starfleet's prospective command officers. Many, though not all, of the trainees are cadets - for this simulation, for example, a Vulcan Lieutenant called Saavik is in the captain's chair. Several senior officers have roles to play, including Spock, Sulu, Uhura and McCoy. Admiral Kirk, meanwhile, is the assessing officer. The final stage of training is a three-week training mission on a real starship - in this case, the Enterprise. Officially, Captain Spock will be in command, though Kirk will also be onboard to continue assessing the trainees.

Chekov, meanwhile, has been assigned to the USS Reliant as first officer. Commanded by Captain Terrell, it has been ordered to find a lifeless planet in the Mutara Sector for use in the Genesis Project. This top-secret program is led by Dr. Carol Marcus, one of the Federation's leading molecular biologists. Her team has developed the Genesis Device - an item that can reorganise a planet's structure at the subatomic level, changing a dead planet into one capable of supporting life. Carol Marcus' son, David, has also contributed greatly to the project - though, unlike his mother, he doesn't have much time for Starfleet. He particularly doesn't like an officer his mother was once acquainted with : an 'overgrown boy-scout' called James Kirk. Unfortunately, that overgrown boy-scout is his father...and (whoops !) his mother just hasn't got round to telling him yet.

The movie's villain is Khan Noonien Singh, one of a group of genetically engineered humans whose treatment of the 'ordinary' human population led to the Eugenic Wars. A group of roughly eighty subsequently escaped Earth on a 'sleeper' ship, travelling in suspended animation. Kirk, while captain on the Enterprise, discovered their ship and subsequently marooned the on Ceti Alpha V - this encounter was covered in "Space Seed", an episode on the original series. However, when a neighbouring planet exploded a few years later the side effects changed the orbits of Khan's new home and left it a barren wasteland. When Chekov, looking for a lifeless planet, arrives with his new commanding officer he initially doesn't realise where they are due to these changes. Unfortunately, they are captured by Khan - who having spent the years blaming Kirk for his plight, now plans to take control of the Reliant and exact his revenge.

A great deal of credit for "The Wrath of Khan" must go to Nicholas Meyer - he directed the film and was an uncredited contributor to the screenplay. (He was also involved with the funniest Trek movie, "The Voyage Home", and my own favorite, "The Undiscovered Country"). Meyer, who'd never previously watched the show, was delighted when he was shown the "Space Seed" episode and immediately identified Khan as his vengeful villain - a role that Ricardo Montalban returns to. Kirstie Alley, taking a break from serving beer to Norm Petersen, makes her debut as Saavik - a role she was to reprise in the next two films. As for David Marcus - with a libido like Kirk's, it was only a matter of time before he bumped into his offspring. Merritt Butrick also reprised this role in the following movie, and later appeared in a TNG episode called "Symbiosis". For many, "The Wrath of Khan" is the best of the Star Trek movies - there's plenty of action, it has a huge climax and is definitely recommended.
