Viewing Notes

WRATH OF KHAN is the first TREK movie I can recall watching and amongst the first sci-fi ever, right behind RETURN OF THE JEDI. And like that movie, it made me fall in love with sci-fi and it definitely made me fall in love with TREK.

WRATH OF KHAN is the movie that set me on the path to be a Trekkie, rather than a Warsie; I still hold that it’s the superior sci-fi mythos.

There’s just not much wrong with this movie. It’s damn near perfect and reverses everything that was wrong with the first one.

I’m eternally thankful that Nicolas Meyers got his hands on it and didn’t let it become the cinematic travesty it could have been.
