Nick Meyer is the real star of this movie. It’s no coincidence that the best TOS movies are the ones written and/or directed by Meyer and the weakest TOS movies are the ones where Meyer had no involvement. Meyer wasn’t an experienced director, but what mattered most was that he was a good storyteller. This movie dealt with actual themes such as death, revenge, and aging and made use of literary classics like Moby Dick and Paradise Lost. For someone who was barely familiar with Star Trek, he sure had a good handle on the overall concept and the characters. This was in sharp contrast to the previous movie where Roddenberry seemed to forget what fans liked about the TV series. Meyer’s outsider perspective makes TWOK easily the most accessible Star Trek movie. You don’t have to be a fan or even familiar with Star Trek to understand and appreciate the movie. For good or bad, it set the standard by which all Star Trek movies are judged and as we see later with Nemesis and Into Darkness, you can’t remake a classic with an inferior script and a hack director if you don’t even understand what made the original good in the first place.

I had no idea what was said (Polish is my mothertongue) but it hooked me immediately. And the music..OMG the music (especially when Khan is first seen and Chekov with the other guy are interrogated). Then I kinda learned basics of German to understand what they were saying and at some point I finally manged to get my hands on English version with Polish subs. Oh the joy! It is 100% imho the best ST movie ever made (with 1st Contact right after it). I've lost track how many times I've watched it but every time I do it I'm that 10yo that watched it for the 1st time.

I think it is supposed to imply that this is the next generation of his clan, with most all the other contemporaries from TOS having died off due to the Ceti-Alpha VI disaster (with Judson Scott's character implied to be Khan's son, named after his friend in TOS). Khan was always the strongest of them all, he was the survivor teaching the young, reflecting what Kirk and his crew were doing with an Enterprise full of cadets and trainees.

I watched the original series on primetime in my childhood,. Saw all the episodes in reruns as a teenager and have been a fan of the franchise ever since. This film gave me an emotional reaction that no other film had before or since. Yes, Spock is a fictional character, but he had been a figure in my imagination for ( at the point Wrath came out) for 15 years. His death affected me like someone real in my life had died. It was astonishing and , I felt because of that unique moment, It was the one time that Star Trek was elevated from popular art to high art. So... Nimoys return to the franchise, (in which Spock sticks around for some 30 more years, dying unceremoniously only when Nimoys himself passed,) was nice and it was good to have him back, but for me it will always be a dramatic cheat. It dilutes and renders irrelevant the emotional power of his death in Wrath of Khan.

12:40 -- RE: The youthful cult of personality surrounding Khan -- I think the answer for this isn't difficult to appreciate. Many cult leaders act in a parental role for the offspring of cult members (in which case, now they're too old). The rest of the parents have died, and now Khan essentially has adopted children for fanatics. This is a fairly well known feature of cult leaders, and Khan's superior genetics didn't get rid of it. Furthermore, Khan's longevity is probably partially due to his followers throwing themselves into harm's way to protect him.... like the fanatics do during the film.

I think the reason this movie is so good is that it leans into its limitations. Star Trek - The Moooooooooootion Picturrrrrrrrrre was an epic, a big budget spectacular, it made a splash, but this movie is more in line with the TV show: making the best of budgetary limitations, making lemonade out of lemons. If you really break The Wrath of Khan down, it takes place on a couple re-used sets with the chairs moved around, parts of the model shots are stock shots taken wholesale from the previous movie, as are the props. It's surprises me they agreed to change the uniforms, but in some ways it feels like that's all they spent money on. The rest of it is excellent scriptwriting and acting covering over the limitations of the budget. And the thing is so compelling we don't even notice.

This was the closest time the franchise elevated itself from "pop" art to fine art. The death of Spock affected me like nothing else ever has , before or since, in a movie theater. Having had a "relationship" with this character for 15 years (at the time I saw it) , Spocks demise actually felt like a real death, invoking real feelings of grief. I know that may seem silly, but because the character had a history beyond the 2+ hours of the movie it invoked a real emotional response. I'll go further to say that Spock's resurrection in the next film, while it brought back Nimoy to the franchise for the next 40 years, is a dramatic cheat, and diminishes the impact of that moment. It's like Hamlet walking back on after Fortinbras's speech saying "Nah... I'm ok. everythings fine!" I'm sure many may disagree, but I never felt that deeply about something in any subsequent iteration of Star Trek. So... Nimoy kept his job, but high drama lost.

All roads lead to the Wrath of Khan. Easily the best Star Trek film, and sequel to one of the best original episodes. The Wrath of Khan is peak Trek. I don't think anyone should be taking over as creative lead on Star Trek unless they can articulate WHY this film was so good. Genuinely understand it's greatness, and apply those lessons to new shows and movies. Jar Jar Abrams tried to remake this. It was a steaming pile of targ shit.

Judson Scott thought he should have gotten higher billing. Instead of agreeing to it or refusing, the filmmakers asked him, “Do you want to waive billing?” He apparently didn’t know what the word “waive” meant, and said yes. That’s why he does not appear in the credits. Having a good vocabulary can make a difference. 😸

My only complaint about this film, is that it did not dwell long enough on the phaser fire between the Reliant and the Enterprise.
