STAR TREK 2: THE WRATH OF KHAN(1982)
What a great follow-up to to the first Star Trek Movie! This
brings back Khan from the tv series episode, Space Seed!
Ricardo Montalban reprises the role that he made famous
and does a hell of a job! It shows a lot of ballsiness in killing
off a major character!! A
A review from Amazon.com:
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
