Aided by his exiled band of genetic supermen Khan (Ricardo Montalban) - brilliant renegade of 20th century Earth - has raided Space Station Regula One stolen a top secret device called Project Genesis wrested control of another Federation starship and now schemes to set a most deadly trap for his old enemy Kirk... with the threat of a universal Armageddon!

Ratings and reviews

Concentrated light could be the fuel for Starfleet's 100 or more ships; adequate helium is easier. Hover craft have speed limits meaning the ends are locked. The books spacecraft don't exit Earth's atmosphere keeping science short spoken. When the stars are out it the dark; they probably have a cloud covering the bottom half of its light. Using they top half of a light only has a normal shadow where natural colors return. While the bottom is the light provider colors dull or bright.

Quintessentially not just the best Trek movie ever but possible actually. From its full connection with the original series to the strength all on its own as a story, it is a tour de force of the universe Roddenberry imagined. Other inventive & creative minds will come along as good, if not better, to leave their stamp upon future Trek-verse materials but all will use this movie as the highest standard to possibly achieve.

I'm sure most hardcore trekkies have seen this movie dozens of times. but I'll say it anyway. This is in my opinion the best of all of the Star Trek movies with Kirk and Spock. Absolutely superb. Trust me... Skip "Star Trek the Motion Picture", jump straight to "Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan", and then watch three and four, afterwards, skip 5 and then check out 6. That's about it.
