Movie Review: Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan (1982)

Wrath of Khan is considered to be one of the best Star Trek films in the entire series. Granted, it is a very good movie. In fact, the villain in this movie is actually really cool. So cool, that he ends up getting his name in the title. So what happens? Basically, Kirk deploys his crew to go and investigate a mysterious base that is on a very mysterious planet. It sounds like your everyday Star Trek episode, but then the two guys who go to investigate, get kidnapped and taken in by the villain named Khan. I love Khan. He is absolutely one of the best things in this entire movie. Leonard Nimoy's acting is excellent in this movie, he is able to become worried about Khan while also not showing any expression or emotion. Now Khan was actually introduced in a season 1 episode of Star Trek the original series. If you watch that episode first, this movie will actually be more enjoyable to watch because there are constant references to Khan's first appearance. Overall, this is a classic science fiction movie that is great to watch over and over again because of Nimoy's acting and Khan. Three Stars.
