MODERN TRAILER - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

[@The_Irish_Fox]

Why did I get excited for a movie I have already seen 32 times. Edit 2 years later: I’ve now watched it 127 times

[@MrVinny873]

Because it's awesome!

[@randomtechpriest8460]

[@matthewgelfer4955]

Also it’s a real testament to the power of a well cut trailer.

[@joshgellis3292]

Because the whole style of the movie is repackaged for a modern audience! Imagine being in 1982, thinking Star Trek could get overshadowed and dismissed by Star Wars fans! This redo slingshots an oldschool fan into the early 80s and makes you feel like nothing that a JJ could do! I fucking hate Discovery having seen it, but the original first six movies are Shakespearean!

[@Morgana888]

Harve Bennett went through ALL the TV series and found 'Space Seed' then brought Kahn back. Thank God, he did. Roddenbury almost destroyed that which he created in the 60's.

[@isodoublet]

Eh it's definitely the worst with the original series cast.

[@isodoublet]

I think it's quite deniable, and I deny it easily. Khan's motivations are completely nonsensical, half of his dialogue is lifted from a book in the public domain, the plot only moves forward because of Kirk's plot-mandated stupidity, a guy who's supposed to be a genetically engineered super genius can't see through obvious subterfuge, etc. The movie is very well made at a technical level, but its script is quite weak. I like TMP best. It is a flawed, but it is the most star trek of all the films, and I'm a sucker for wide shots and grand vistas. As sci-fi it delivers in spades, even if it is a little derivative. I like VI also. I'd rank the original movies thusly: I-VI-IV-V-III-II.

Wrath of Khan was the first Star Trek movie I ever saw and had me hooked so hard! It’s still my favorite!!!

[@jonw7937]

When they tried to do the reverse Khan with Zachary Quinto yelling... it just looked devoid of actual anger and feeling. When Shatner does it, you can feel the rage emanating from the screen.

[@LeeHawkinsPhoto]

Vulgar that’s because JJ Abrams doesn’t get it. He doesn’t get why Kirk’s off his game when he was always on every other time. He doesn’t get why Kirk is so lost without Spock. He doesn’t get why the death scene at the end was so completely earned. He doesn’t get that the Kobayashi Maru test wasn’t a punchline. He doesn’t understand the purpose of anything unless it adds visual interest or intense action. He doesn’t understand how to plot a film, he only knows how to set up mystery boxes that never get opened.

Montalban should have had equal billing with Shatner as he practically stole the show. If I were to re-do the opening credits, I would put him right below Shatner on the initial "starring" card.

"Still my favorite Star Trek movie" VERY tough act to follow.

This trailer is as perfect as the film. I can’t stop watching it.

[@protorhinocerator142]

Original tagline: For some it was their first mission. For many it will be their last.

[@painkillerjones6232]

The best of all the Star Trek movies.

[@annmarieknapp]

Agreed!!!! At least of original cast. I love the new movies with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto as Kirk and Spock, respectively.

[@Jean-qu3ru]

@@annmarieknapp I enjoyed the first and third new movies, but I hated the third. It was cheap pandering to the fans, and it turned me off completely. That villain didn't have to be Khan, and shouldn't have been. There were dozens of other Eugenics Wars genetically engineered "supermen" it could have been, and that could have made it one of the best sequels within the universe.

[@annmarieknapp]

@@Jean-qu3ru You have a point.

[@TheCleanasyougo]

Nah. The Voyage Home still does it for me.

[@mthomsonkiwi]

Great job but really hammers home how modern trailers today give away the entire movie 😂

[@DelDuio]

It's funny but I'm a huge fan of the Halloween movie from '78, and years later I happened to watch the original trailer and I was blown away at how much of the movie it showed. They showed the Judith Myers' headstone scene amongst others. So looks like they've been giving away the whole movie for a long time now!

[@flalawdog9463]

It seems like they give away the whole movie only because you’ve seen the movie already and have a context for what they are showing. If you haven’t seen the movie they’re just disjointed but attractive scenes.

[@caronstout354]

Movie studios have to adapt to the considerably smaller attention spans of the modern movie goer...if you can't pique their interest in 2 1/2 minutes you've lost them!

[@Linerunner99]

It actually is pretty clever how they used the simulator footage to mislead. Anyone watching this hasn't seen the movie is going to go into it not actually knowing how it's going to go at all. lol

[@charlesbyers7668]

Watching movie trailers from the 30's and 40's, I've noticed Hollywood was giving away the whole movies even back then. They have ALWAYS done it.

[@mr.steveteam1trainingcente386]

You guys really outdid yourselves on this one I'm going home tonight to watch it cuz it was so awesome great job thank you so much for putting the time in the making their it really reignite your interest in the movie and I've seen this movie at least 50 times huge Star Trek fan great job thank you so much for sharing

[@albertnada4681]

That scene with McCoy and Kirk at Kirk's appartment is what Star Trek is actually all about, and why Abrams, Orsie & Kurtsman fale.

[@FasterThanSoup]

Failing appears to be trending.

[@TananBaboo]

Albert Nada fale?

[@ryebreadreturn1]

That's one of my favorite scenes in all of Trek

[@jcdenton2187]

Abram's Star Trek was good.

[@adarkwind4712]

And fale is why you fail.

[@reneperez3043]

Incredible trailer for one of the best movies of all time. Wow. Excellent work.

[@matthewgelfer4955]

This is awesome. A really good piece of editing- so good it filled me with nostalgia for a movie I’m already always nostalgic about. 👍🏼

[@rgrif1764]

I love this trailer. I just had the privilege of watching STAR TREK II on the big screen at my local theater yesterday. ILM’s simple, practical special effects were beautiful to see. I am so tired of the boring, mind numbing CGI crap in movies today. I wish that todays filmmakers would learn that sometimes less is more.

[@magicalmusic416]

I've always thought that the only thing that would've been the icing on the cake would have been a reaction shot of Khan's jaw dropping as the Enterprise went to warp a half second before the Reliant explodes.

[@tuckerdrake2218]

Sulu, get us out of here. Best possible speed.

[@ralphalonso4932]

Just a great movie that I love to watch over and over again. Shatner and montalban slayed it

Wow! This trailer is spectacular in my opinion! It is just as spectacular as the film!

To quote Nicolas Meyer, "I have only one thing to say about this scene: Yes, that is Ricardo Montalban's chest."

[@docHOLLAday53]

This was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

Sure, slingshot around the sun and we'll be in time warp. So, I can go see it at the theater ; )

[@jeremyfinch2835]

[@wcthomas65]

Just great. Showed this version to a friend who really isn't interested in Star Trek.......now they are. If a Star Trek movie really needed a boost it would have to be, Star Trek - The Motion Picture!!

[@orangebandmedia]

Great minds! That was our thought too. Stay tuned.

[@wcthomas65]

Great news guys. All the best for the Christmas & new year period. Cheers.

[@billkeithchannel]

During the theater marathon of the first 7 movies leading up to _First Contact_ I was not used to being up after 10pm (when the daily showing took place each night) so about midnight when the ship was steering through all that animation effects I was dozing off in the theater. I was wide awake for the rest of the week though.

[@monstarpaisley]

Makes wanna break out the Blu-ray . . . Aaaaww hell now I 'm just gonna watch it!

[@caronstout354]

If the only way to prove to the next generation of sci-fi fans that there is truly great classic sci-fi is to make modern trailers for classic movies I'm all for it.

[@jtkirkfan2002]

Very good. Thanks for not giving the ending away like so many of these do.

[@ironclad452]

So basically a glimpse of every scene in the movie. Sounds about right

[@shamgartruth1449]

Outstanding, that’s the best I can say, simply outstanding! Your treatment complemented The classic of Star Trek two beautifully.

[@JustinLodes]

I can’t wait to see it on June 4th 1982!

[@danielwatts7375]

Good God, this was awesome!!!

[@dimpy2013]

I saw this movie when it first came out and have probably seen it 100 times. I think I have the dialog memorized. And damn it, this trailer makes me want to see it again. Well done.

[@werre2]

[@ernestmarshall2098]

Greatest Star Trek movie so far.

[@jameswood3432]

How is KZbin only just recommended this to me!! That was such an amazing edit that it makes me want to watch the film again right now

[@CyrusB1]

That's a great moment, when Bones says, "You're hiding" and the visual is Kirk searching Regula One.

[@cellokid5104]

I just HATE it how every modern sci-fi movie is reduced to the action part, there's no clever plot, or exciting technobabble anymore. I really think that your pice of work is a precise instrument to highlight this issue.

[@squareeyedgit]

Yeah it's very well done in that respect... and they got the music to exactly the correct level of 'generic'! I really hate trailers, so I can only take this seriously in the way that you describe - ie satirically.

[@williestyle35]

And this particular trailer gave away nearly half of the plot of the movie.. Very typical of current trailer cuts.

[@frellthat]

The original trailer 35 years ago contained no technobabble either. The film isn't fundamentally about science. It's about what it says in the title: The Wrath of Khan.

[@timfankell8346]

It's EXACTLY like every assembly line trailer made these days. I clicked on this expecting a spoof and thought it was even funnier because it was meant to be serious.

[@jim021]

Could you imagine in 1981 if you saw this in the theatre as a preview. Peoples heads would've went sideways.

[@Artjedi44]

Recently saw the 35th Anniversary Fathom re-release in a local theater. It is still the best Trek movie of all... This modern trailer is brilliant, almost awesome, but how can you leave out Shatner's most memorable line, "KHAAAAAAN!!!!"?

[@porflepopnecker4376]

Too on-the-nose.

[@paulwalsh2344]

I thought that was part of the brilliance of this trailer.

[@KnightsaysNi]

Sometimes lack of audio is more effective than including it, they still added the visual bit, but the way it's done he could just as easily be screaming "Fire!" I really liked this style, excellent work!

[@billkeithchannel]

He answered that in the thread above this one.

[@billkeithchannel]

+Paul Walsh Yes, exactly. It saves the impact of that yell for the theater experience instead of giving that prolific moment away in a trailer.

[@geoffreydavisiii7678]

This was better than the original trailer!

[@ChapMeifan]

I love how the trailer misleads the audience into thinking it's the Klingon D-7 warships that are firing into the side of the Enterprise. Classic trailer bait-and-switch technique. Masterfully done.

[@quietman71]

Only one complaint.... Where's the KHAAAAAANNNN!!!! ?

[@joelellis7035]

Actually, it's Kirk yelling it. I do agree that it would have added more to the visceral quality of the battle between the two men.

[@joedigger9919]

It's a big scene in the movie so you wouldn't want to ruin it right? Crap, but this is done like MODERN trailers so yea, it should have had every spoiler as possible.

[@zorkmid1083]

My only gripe was showing the damaged Reliant - I thought that was too much of a spoiler. Also should have used more of the movie's soundtrack. But those are minor - I also thought it was AWESOME!

[@purplegreenredyellow]

yea!! should edit that it. it'd be perfect.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

Too on-the-nose.

[@tohespidhire3808]

It helps when the film itself is decent, and the trailer editor has something to work with.

[@danielm6049]

I was thinking that too, I think I'd have to rate this the best trek movie of all time, so it's hard not to have a good trailer

[@ncwordman]

Modern trailer makers know how to manipulate their audiences, and you know how to imitate (and lampoon) those trailers. Well done!

[@MaiAolei]

Nice red herring with the klingon ships :-)
