Star Trek 2: The Wrath Of Khan
It is the 23rd century. Admiral Kirk's midlife crisis is interrupted by the return of an old enemy looking for revenge and a potentially destructive device. But Khan is back. Aided by his exiled band of genetic supermen, Khan - 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!

Leonard Nimoy has rarely been so moving.

There is something comfortable, even old-shoeish, about the new film, a sense, appropriate to its theme of coming to terms with middle age, that all aboard are pleasurably rediscovering their best selves.

Although I liked the special effects in the first movie, they were probably not the point; fans of the TV series wanted to see their favorite characters again, and Trek II understood that desire and acted on it.

The merely curious are warned. If Star Trek: The Motion Picture showed little of the Enterprise of the culty TV series, this sequel is at times a flat-out Khan-job.

Star Trek II manages to be both pensive and action-packed.

A brisk, handsomely designed film in which its hardware, sturdy as it is, never overwhelms its humanity.

Star Trek II is a very satisfying space adventure, closer in spirit and format to the popular TV series than to its big-budget predecessor.

It was Star Trek II that put the franchise on the right track as the spirit of Gene Roddenberry's 60s television series was harnessed to spectacular effect.

The net effect, between embarrassed guffaws, is incredulity: a movie at once post-TV and pre-DW Griffith.

This isn't great "for a Star Trek movie", it's one of the best sci-fi adventure films of the post-Star Wars era.

If only director Nicholas Meyer had grasped the implications of his tale more fully and enthusiastically, this might have become a classic piece of cornball SF poetry, but as it stands the tepid acting and one-set claustrophobia take a heavy toll.
