 Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan: The Director's Edition DVD Review
In many ways "Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan" sets up the look, conflicts, and consequences that follow the rest of film series through "Star Trek: Generations." It has about the most action of all the films involving the original crew and is overall a great flick on it's own merits.
Of all of the Star Trek feature films, "Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan" is considered a favorite by many fans.
To their shock, they encounter the last remaining survivors of "The Botany Bay," a sleeper ship that had left the Earth in the alternate Star Trek reality of 1996 at the close of the Eugenics Wars.

 Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Star Trek II - Spock dead; Quentin Tarantino missing. By Bryan Curtis
The new Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan DVD has plenty of extras for obsessives to moon over: director's commentary, new scenes, even an interview with Trek -obsessed writers who have novelized other Khan adventures.
But the masterstroke was commissioning a text-only commentary from Michael Okuda, the co-author of the Star Trek Encyclopedia and a consultant on various Trek films and TV shows.
Okuda types: Star Trek II is a lesson in efficient film making … (long pause, while screen refreshes) … and ingenious use of resources.

 Filmtracks: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (James Horner)
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan : (James Horner) After the hit television series was finally brought to big screen in 1979 to critical and popular acclaim, director Nicholas Meyer would take the series in an entirely new direction.
Fans of the Star Trek franchise all agree that this score is superior to the more watered down Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, but debate continues about the merit of Star Trek II when compared to the first Goldsmith score and Eidelman's single entry.
One of the beauties of Star Trek II was Nicholas Meyer's intelligent use and non-use of music, with several sequences left to sound effects or dialogue.

 STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN - THE DIRECTOR'S EDITION DVD
"The Visual Effects of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (18 mins.) repeats the Reliant anecdote but the rest is fresh as visual effects supervisor Ken Ralston remembers the good old days of miniatures, matte paintings, and using saltwater to simulate a nebula, something that would now be accomplished via CGI.
"The Star Trek Universe" (29 mins.) is soul-sucking torture as "Trek" novelists Greg Cox and Julia Ecklar (introduced in a whooshing credits take-off on the original series) drone on about Khan's past and the Kobayashi Maru test whilst serving as the worst endorsements for their respective texts that one can imagine.
I found the 2.35:1, 16x9-enhanced video for this "Director's Edition" of Star Trek II to be superior to that of the previous DVD: it's clearer and brighter, with stronger whites, in particular.

 Star Trek Soundtracks: Star Tracks II
The story line of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) was derived from "Space Seed," a 1967 television episode, and was directed by Nicholas Meyer (credits include Time After Time (1979)).
Star Trek IV exhibits a good deal more humor than its predecessors as in the hilarious confrontation with a punk rocker.
Paramount's decision to finance a Star Trek feature film was due to the tremendous popularity enjoyed by the television series which aired from 1966 through 1969 totaling 79 episodes.

 Jammer's Review: "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (1982)
Star Trek II is often heralded as the best of the Trek films, and for good reason.
The undiscovered country in Hamlet is death, and that's exactly what much of Star Trek II serves as a reminder of (also life, which is presented as the flip side of the same coin, which it is).
Khan is still the best and most memorable of the Star Trek villains, in no small part because of Ricardo Montalban's performance, which has just the right balance of obsessive quirkiness and scaled-back restraint.

The long-awaited commentary track is also important in establishing Meyer’s divergent vision for STAR TREK, with significant time devoted to justifying the decisions to give the film a more realistic feel than its predecessor and Meyer’s own disavowal of Roddenberry’s utopian future.
In fact, STAR TREK II doesn’t suffer from anything and improving the experience is, arguably, a tall order.

 Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - The Score
Notable because it was James Horner's first major film, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is certainly a good choice for those interested in his early style.
It is also one of the better scores of the Star Trek movies; I would rank it second after Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
However, lacking the genius of Goldsmith's Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

All in all, of the movies in which the original cast stars, I would have to say it is a toss up between 2, 4, and 6 for the title of "Best" of these movies.

 Horner: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Horner: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Despite nobody seeming to like it very much and it costing a fortune, Star Trek: The Motion Picture made a lot of money so a sequel was inevitable; Paramount wisely decided, however, to make it in a very different way, on a fraction of the previous film's budget.
They turned to the young director Nicholas Meyer, to whom they owe an enormous debt of gratitude, for the changes he made are probably the only reason the multi-billion dollar franchise has survived to this day (though it does seem to be rather petering out at the moment).

 SPLICEDwire "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" DVD review (1982) Nicholas Meyer, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Ricardo Montalban
Arguably the best "Star Trek" film and certainly a turning point in the franchise, the success of "The Wrath of Khan" (not just financially, but stylistically and in terms of creating the religious adherence to detailed "Trek" lore) is directly responsible for the viability of subsequent films and spin-off TV series.
But the real fan-boy goodie is a text commentary by Michael Okuda, co-author of The Star Trek Encyclopedia, which is overflowing with fascinating detail upon detail about everything from the set dressings to how various parts of the story tie into Trek lore.
Ricardo Montalban chews scenery with style and conviction in the title role as he commandeers another Star Fleet vessel with his rag-tag followers and engages in visually spectacular, submarine-like combat to the death with the Enterprise inside a nebula.

 Interview: James Horner and Star Trek II
While his intriguing score for Wolfen (1981) helped elevate him into the big-gudget film world, his expansive music for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan provides Horner with an arena to demonstrate the type of dramatic scoring he is best at.
I felt it was very important to Star Trek to somehow tie in the characters and the ship that everybody knew." The use of the fanfare has a very nostalgic feel to it, and brings with it a marvelous feeling of history, of legendry and heroic importance to the Enterprise and its crew.
Star Trek II provides such an opportunity, in this case, producer Harve Bennet and director Nicholas Meyer wanted the score not to sound like Goldsmith's previous music.

 Amazon.com: DVD: Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan (Director's Edition) (1982)
STAR TREK: THE WRATH OF KHAN (it didn't have the II in the title when it first came out) is far and away the best Trek film.
STAR TREK: THE WRATH OF KHAN is still most die-hard Trek fans' pick as best Trek film, and I would agree with that sentiment.
And so begins the curse of the Star Trek movies.

 Review: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
In the wake of the somnambulant Star Trek: The Motion Picture, the fledgling Star Trek movie series was in need of some zest, which is exactly what The Wrath of Khan provided.
The Wrath of Khan shows the potential inherent in the Star Trek concept as applied to the big screen.
While retaining the thematic elements of the late-'60s TV series and utilizing the much-loved original USS Enterprise crew, Star Trek II added hefty doses of action, adventure, and suspense, injecting life into a concept that had been left moribund by its first big-screen feature.
