Did you know
- Trivia The famous "Space, the final frontier" monologue is heard for the first time since Star Trek (1966) , now narrated by Leonard Nimoy , however this has been changed slightly. Instead of saying, "...its five-year mission..." and "to seek out new life," this now says, "her ongoing mission..." and "to seek out new lifeforms".
- Goofs Chekov and Khan recall having met each other. Although Chekov was not a bridge officer when Khan came on the Enterprise in Space Seed (1967) , it should be remembered that when Khan first took over Enterprise, he started with the engineering deck. Chekov was engineering ensign at the time, and mounted resistance against Khan, according to the movie's novelization. Surprisingly, Sulu was also absent from Space Seed, a point which no one ever brings up.
Kirk : We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet it should be noted that in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human.
- Crazy credits After the opening credits: "In the 23rd century..."
- Expanded conversation between Kirk and McCoy in Kirk's apartment about his birthday gift, the glasses. Also, McCoy now says "For most patients your age, I'd usually administer Retinax Five." This is an alternate take, since in the theatrical version, he says "recommend" instead of "administer" (Seen in ABC-TV version).
- Conversation between Kirk and Midshipman Preston in the Enterprise's engine room, with Scotty revealing that Preston is his nephew. Also, the take at the scene's ending with Kirk addressing Scotty and McCoy asking "Admiral, what about the rest of the inspection?" is different from the one seen in the theatrical version. Kirk's dialogue is also slightly different (Seen in ABC-TV version).
- The scene where Chekov informs Dr. Marcus and her team about their new orders via compic has been expanded. Carol Marcus now asks "Who gave the order", and the mind controlled Chekov dances around the answer a little before David says, "Pin him down, mother." (Seen in ABC-TV version).
- The scene where the scientists at Regula One argue about Starfleet Command's order is a different take, and has been expanded in the ending to show Carol Marcus ordering everyone to pack their things up so they can depart before the Reliant arrives (Seen in ABC-TV version).
- McCoy and Spock's argument about Genesis in Kirk's cabin has been slightly expanded. They discuss what might happen if Genesis fell into the wrong hands, and whose hands are the right ones. Kirk attempts to break the two up, but Spock cuts him off with a comeback to McCoy (Seen in ABC-TV version).
- Preston's death in Sickbay has been expanded. Preston now says "Aye" and dies in close-up (instead of in the medium shot with Preston's back to the camera and the others visible around the table seen in the theatrical version) Scotty asks why Khan wants revenge. McCoy's line, "I'm sorry, Scotty" now comes in the middle of the scene, instead of in the ending. After Spock informs Kirk via intercom that impulse power is restored, McCoy and Kirk speak a little longer, and Kirk says they only survived because he knew something Khan didn't about starships (Seen in ABC-TV version).
- An added shot of Kirk, Spock and Saavik climbing a ladder between decks has been added, in which Kirk says "That young man, he's my son," and Spock replies, "Fascinating." Also, the music in the scene has been looped to account for this added shot, but it loops at an earlier point than in the ABC-TV version. This makes the music flow better, instead of repeating the same bit of music twice in succession. For the 2016 Director's Cut Blu-Ray edition, the shot is included but the dialogue is omitted.
- An extension occurs as the Enterprise approaches the Mutara Nebula. Saavik wonders if the Reliant will follow them in, and Spock states that he must remember to teach her about the human ego. The music is looped at a different point than in the ABC-TV version to accommodate this extension, and it is thus much less distracting.
- Connections Edited from Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
- Soundtracks Theme From Star Trek (TV Series) Music by Alexander Courage

- When Spock and Saavik converse early in the film, what (modern earth) language do they actually speak?
- Why is the actor Judson Scott, who played a substantial role as Joachim in this film, not listed in the closing credits?
- How did Khan and crew actually take over the Reliant? One minute they're shoving eels down Chekov and Terrell's ears - the next they're on the bridge of the Reliant sporting trophy uniforms and in command of the ship.

Movie sequels can often be hit-or-miss, with many ruining the original film that fans loved so dearly. However, Hollywood has occasionally produced some sequels that build on their predecessors perfectly, becoming fan-favorite films in long-running franchises.
On rare occasions, certain sequels prove to be better than the originals. In these cases, the sequels are often better to revisit than the often exposition-heavy and slower films that preceded them. From The Wrath of Khan to The Empire Strikes Back , these are the most rewatchable movie sequels.
10 Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan Vastly Improves On The Original
Wrath of khan creates star trek's biggest plot hole, and the real-life explanation is hilarious.
How Khan recognized Chekov in The Wrath of Khan is Star Trek's biggest plot hole since he wasn't in the TOS episode. Walter Koenig has the answer.
Based on the classic sci-fi television series, Star Trek: The Motion Picture brought the adventures of the U.S.S. Enterprise to the big screen for the first time. Three years later, a sequel, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was released. This time, Captain Kirk and his crew face off against a villain from his past, the maniacal Khan.
The original Star Trek movie received lukewarm reviews from fans and critics, who felt that it was too long, contemplative, and filled with droll conversation rather than the exciting action that viewers had hoped to see. The Wrath of Khan took all of these notes and built a much more enjoyable film that is largely regarded as the best in the franchise. While a Star Trek fan might groan at the idea of rewatching the original film, The Wrath of Khan is a much more rewatchable adventure.
Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan
With the assistance of the Enterprise crew, Admiral Kirk must stop an old nemesis, Khan Noonien Singh, from using the life-generating Genesis Device as the ultimate weapon.
9 Spider-Man 2 Is One Of The Best Superhero Films Of All Time
Spider-Man came to the big screen for the first time in the first installment of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire. The film was a massive success, helping kickstart a new era of movies based on Marvel Comics characters. Two years later, Spider-Man 2 was released, pitting the titular wall-crawling superhero against the villainous Dr. Otto Octavius, a.k.a. Doctor Octopus. The sequel also proved to be a major success for Marvel and Sony, leading to a third film in 2007.
Spider-Man 2 is widely renowned as one of the best superhero movies ever made, elevating the stakes of the original without comprising its story or characters. Moreover, after 20 years, Spider-Man 2 still holds up whereas the original film feels somewhat dated. If a Spider-Man fan is to turn on one of Raimi's films, there's a high chance that it will be the second rather than either of the other two.
Spider-Man 2
Peter Parker is beset with troubles in his failing personal life as he battles a brilliant scientist named Doctor Otto Octavius.
8 Puss In Boots: The Last Wish Is A Masterpiece
Puss in Boots originally appeared in the Shrek franchise but received his spinoff franchise in 2011. The original movie was a by-the-numbers animated adventure that primarily appealed to children. Eleven years later, the long-awaited sequel, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish , finally reached audiences--and changed everything.
Sporting a dazzling new animation style, The Last Wish is leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessor. The movie deals with surprisingly adult themes, including the nature of death, and can be enjoyed by mature audiences just as easily as younger ones. The film was a fan-favorite installment of the Shrek franchise and even went on to be nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
When Puss in Boots discovers that his passion for adventure has taken its toll and he has burned through eight of his nine lives, he launches an epic journey to restore them by finding the mythical Last Wish.
7 Captain America: The Winter Soldier Is A More Action-Packed SpyThriller
5 most likely captain america: brave new world plot theories, explained.
With Captain America: Brave New World on the way, here are some of the main plot theories for Sam Wilson's big screen starring turn as Captain America
Captain America first joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in his own solo film, Captain America: The First Avenger . The movie took place in World War II as Captain America fought alongside the Union armies against the forces of Hydra. The First Avenger was the first installment in a trilogy of films following Chris Evans' Steve Rogers, which continued in 2014's The Winter Soldier.
While The First Avenger is a modest period piece that is perhaps underrated by MCU fans, The Winter Soldier is rightfully placed on a pedestal as one of the best entries in the Infinity Saga. The movie not only elevates the stakes with its epic action-thriller story but also delves deeper into the character of Steve Rogers, exploring his adjustment to the modern world.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier

As Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world, he teams up with a fellow Avenger and S.H.I.E.L.D agent, Black Widow, to battle a new threat from history: an assassin known as the Winter Soldier.
6 Aliens Is Faster-Paced Than The Original Movie
Alien is one of the best horror movies of all time, crafting a suspenseful and claustrophobic narrative as a xenomorph hunt down the crew members of the spacecraft Nostromo . The film kickstarted a massive franchise, beginning with the 1986 sequel Aliens by director James Cameron. Sigourney Weaver returns as Ellen Ripley in Aliens , which follows her character as she teams up with Colonial Marines to fight even more xenomorphs than last time.
While both films are held in high esteem, especially above their two lackluster sequels, Aliens is a much easier film to rewatch than Alien . The sequel is much more action-packed, whereas its predecessor builds tension over a long period before finally getting into the fun part of its story. There is a place for both kinds of movies in the world of cinema, but Aliens is certainly a much more entertaining film to revisit.
Decades after surviving the Nostromo incident, Ellen Ripley is sent out to re-establish contact with a terraforming colony but finds herself battling the Alien Queen and her offspring.
5 Terminator 2: Judgment Day Improves On The Original
Terminator zero's biggest mysteries left unanswered.
Season 1 of Terminator Zero is a time-traveling mind-trip that leaves quite a few mysteries hanging as Malcolm Lee and others try to stop Skynet.
James Cameron catapulted into the sci-fi scene with 1984's The Terminator , which dealt with a dystopian future that one young time traveler seeks to prevent. Pursued by a relentless killing machine, he teams up with the future mother of the leader of the resistance. Hailed as an immediate classic, no one thought that The Terminator could be topped until Cameron returned with T erminator 2: Judgment Day .
Judgment Day perfectly raises the stakes after the original movie, introducing the T-1000, a new model of Terminator that proves even deadlier than the first. Fans enjoyed the flipped dynamic of the film, as the original Terminator now works to protect John Conner from the T-1000. A true standout in this epic sci-fi action flick is the effects, which are remarkable given that the movie came out over thirty years ago.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
A cyborg, identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor, must now protect her ten year old son John from an even more advanced and powerful cyborg.
4 The Empire Strikes Back Made Star Wars A True Franchise
Star Wars is a landmark film in cinematic history, practically inventing the modern blockbuster. Fans everywhere loved the unique sci-fi world that George Lucas created for the film and were doubly excited to see the 1980 sequel. The Empire Strikes Back was the second Star Wars movie and it immediately proved to be an even better film than the original.
The Empire Strikes Back has more action, more dynamic characters, and better twists than the original, which was already a top-tier movie upon its release. Both films are endlessly rewatchable, but Star Wars fans find themselves drawn to the sequel more than the original. It was The Empire Strikes Back that turned Star Wars into a bona fide franchise.
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
After the Rebels are overpowered by the Empire, Luke Skywalker begins his Jedi training with Yoda, while his friends are pursued across the galaxy by Darth Vader and bounty hunter Boba Fett.
3 Blade Runner 2049 Is More Palatable Than The Original
Ridley Scott's Blade Runner is considered to be one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time but struggled to find its audience upon its release in 1982. The film however became a cult classic and eventually got a sequel in 2017, with Denis Villeneuve directing Blade Runner 2049 . The film also failed to produce adequate numbers at the box office but was generally regarded as a worthy successor to the original film.
Blade Runner 2049 may not have been a financial success, but it is in many ways a more palatable film than the original. Ridley Scott's Blade Runner is long and at times exhausting, spending too much time in the deep contemplative mind of Rick Deckard. Moreover, the endless debate among fans about which of the seven different versions of the film is best makes trying to watch Blade Runner nearly impossible. Blade Runner 2049 cuts away all the fluff and makes a much easier film to watch over and over again.
Blade Runner 2049
Young Blade Runner K's discovery of a long-buried secret leads him to track down former Blade Runner Rick Deckard, who's been missing for thirty years.
2 Return Of The King Perfectly Ends The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy
How lord of the rings’ elves differ from other popular depictions of these mythical creatures.
Peter Jackson's interpretation of the Elves in the Lord of the Rings differs greatly from other media. Here's how LOTR's Elves are unique.
Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy is a standout among big Hollywood blockbuster franchises. Shot back-to-back, the three films make for one of the best book-to-screen adaptations of all time. The story begins with The Fellowship of the Ring , which plays directly into The Two Towers . Things finally come to an end with the third film, The Return of the King .
While the first two films are also beloved, The Return of the King has a special place in the franchise. The sequel finishes the trilogy perfectly, delivering on its every promise and raising the stakes, as any good finale should. The movie was so well-received that it won multiple Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Moreover, fans love to rewatch this particular installment to revisit its epic action scenes, from the Battle of Pelennor Fields to the Battle of the Black Gate.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Gandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Sauron's army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring.
1 Logan Is The Best Installment Of The X-Men Franchise
The X-Men franchise was a massive cinematic universe built around numerous popular characters from Marvel Comics. With the popularity of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Fox decided to give his character a franchise of his own. The trilogy got off to an infamously bad start with X-Men Origins: Wolverine , which is considered to be one of the worst installments of the superhero franchise. Nevertheless, the trilogy continued, finally concluding in 2017's Logan .
Logan is a brilliant character piece focusing on the last days of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. The film serves as the perfect swan song for the character, finally letting him rest after centuries of difficulty and strife. The movie excels above its predecessors and, though it is often heavy, is much easier to watch than the truly inane antics of Origins .
In a future where mutants are nearly extinct, an elderly and weary Logan leads a quiet life. But when Laura, a mutant child pursued by scientists, comes to him for help, he must get her to safety.

Cythraul : Roddenberry had spent the bulk of the 1970s attending "Star Trek" conventions and refining his thoughts on his creation. - coming to the conclusion that "Star Trek" isn't about dominance or military power. Instead, it redefines power as being connected to intelligence, professionalism, and one's ability to solve problems in a group. Even if the problem is a vast, cosmic mystery that the human mind can barely comprehend, "Star Trek" announced that we'd face it with open hearts. I understand and admire Roddenberry's creative vision, but the first Trek film was a slog. Such storytelling was well suited for episodic format, but makes for boring movies. The same problem that many Next Generation films had. The characters in TNG were intellectual, professional, very civilized, and poorly suited for an action based movie. As much as I love cerebral films like Space Odyssey, I remember times watching that film thinking, "this part is boring as shiat."

Darth Fluffy : Kind of like how Star Wars movies get better the less George Lucas is involved. His wife is the reason the first three didn't suck. He is the reason the next three did.
WhimsicalWanderer : Especially in his later years, Star Trek succeeded in spite of Roddenberry, not because of him. Additionally, today he would likely face legal consequences due to his alleged casting couch behavior.
puckrock2000 : The only reason Nimoy did WoK was so Spock could be killed off. He was so sick of the character (and Roddenberry), and he really wanted to move on from the franchise. Unfortunately, WoK turned out to be a huge hit, and the only way the producers could entice him back was to allow him to direct the next two films.

I had real hopes for the Next Gen films, but the moment they decided to switch to the Dark Serious color scheme and dim all the lights on the ship, I knew it was gonna be broken, and it sure was. The reason they did that in Generations is because they were still using the TV sets, which were built cheaply and just good enough to be shown on shiatty late 80s/early 90s TV sets. They would have looked like absolute garbage on the big screen, and since they slammed straight into production after All Good Things wrapped, there wasn't time to build proper sets, hence the entire movie taking place in the Mood Lighting Nebula. The rest of the movies have no excuse except grimdark.
Bslim : Cythraul: The characters in TNG were intellectual, professional, very civilized, and poorly suited for an action based movie. That's part of the reason *all* the TNG movies suck huge amounts of ass. That crew in action focused films was just not something that worked (especially action Picard).

“It was suggested to not do it at one point”: William Shatner Ended up Doing the One Thing He Was Advised Not to in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
William Shatner's one decision in Star Trek II proved to be a game changer as the film renewed people's interest in the franchise
![star trek 2 wrath of khan streaming Star Wars The Wrath of Khan 2](https://fwmedia.fandomwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/05144112/star-trek-the-wrath-of-khan-2.jpg)
- William Shatner wanted to change one thing about his character going into the second film in the Star Trek series.
- He wanted to portray a vulnerable side to Captain Kirk and show him in mid-life crisis in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
- It worked in the film's favor as it went on to become one of the best films in the franchise.
William Shatner’s one decision in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was crucial in making it one of the best films in the franchise. After the successful S tar Trek: The Original Series , the cast returned for the films starting with Star Trek: The Motion Picture . Fans and studio executives were not happy with the first film despite the film becoming a financial success.
![star trek 2 wrath of khan streaming William Shatner in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan | Credits: Paramount Pictures](https://fwmedia.fandomwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/05104207/wrath-of-khan-kirk-1024x575.jpg)
Shatner suggested that the second film in the series makes Captain James T. Kirk more vulnerable. The suggestion was initially met with skepticism but Kirk’s mid-life crisis turned out to work really well for the movie. The film kickstarted a three-part storyline that ended in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home .
William Shatner Made The Crucial Decision To Make Captain Kirk More Vulnerable in Star Trek II
![star trek 2 wrath of khan streaming William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan | Credits: Paramount Pictures](https://fwmedia.fandomwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/05104341/william-shatner-leonard-nimoy-1024x575.jpg)
William Shatner , Leonard Nimoy, and the rest of the cast returned to their roles in the Star Trek films, which was set a decade after the events of Star Trek: The Original Series . The time jump was not significantly addressed in the first film. However, Shatner decided to emphasize Captain Kirk’s age and related issues in the second film.
![star trek 2 wrath of khan streaming “No one knew until he was actually gone”: Despite Being Called Rowdy and Brash by His Critics, William Shatner Did One Thing During Star Trek: The Original Series That Would Make Even His Haters Salute Him](https://fwmedia.fandomwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/25045714/star-trek-2-4-1024x576.jpg)
“No one knew until he was actually gone”: Despite Being Called Rowdy and Brash by His Critics, William Shatner Did One Thing During Star Trek: The Original Series That Would Make Even His Haters Salute Him
It surely made the character more vulnerable unlike the series, where the crew were a bunch of adventurous explorers in the galaxy. Shatner, who had spent with the character for the longest time, felt that it was in the character’s best interest to explore his vulnerability in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan .
The second film dealt with the menacing Star Trek villain, Khan Noonian Singh , and how the crew would stop him from using the life-generating Genesis Device. Shatner spoke about the film and his new take on the role during an interview with Bobbie Wygant in 1982. He shared that the theme of the film dealt with the “youth, and old age, and death, and love.”
Shatner told Wygant that Kirk’s mid-life crisis depicted in the film was his idea. He shared that he was told not to depict the vulnerability of the character. However, Shatner wanted to show the human side of the character to make it more relatable to the viewers. Shatner shared with Wygant ( via The Bobby Wygant Archives | YouTube ):
It was suggested not to do it at one point. By some people that had my best interests at heart. [But] my feeling has always been that the more human you can make a character, the more vulnerable, the more identifiable, the better it is. So we saw all means possible to do that.
The Wrath of Khan is not only considered the best film in the Star Trek series, but it also brought a renewed interest in the sci-fi space franchise. It grossed $97 million against a budget of $12 million becoming a major financial success ( via LA Times ).
William Shatner’s Mid-Life Crisis Worked Well Within The Film’s Larger Plot
![star trek 2 wrath of khan streaming William Shatner in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan | Credits: Paramount Pictures](https://fwmedia.fandomwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/05104254/william-shatner-the-wrath-of-khan-1024x548.webp)
William Shatner’s Captain Kirk celebrates his birthday during the earlier scenes of the film. A conversation with Dr. Leonard McCoy brings up his age and how his experience has brought him a more responsible role. However, the dilemma hits Kirk as he watches over the trainee crew half his age take off for missions.

“I think Gene is twirling in his grave”: One Military Rule Gene Roddenberry Imposed on Star Trek May Have Been Why William Shatner Couldn’t Be in a Relationship With the Hottest Actress from The Original Series
The initial scenes show the Starfleet captain as being stuck in his role. The adventure of capturing Khan is what brings back his youthful and adventurous self. Khan also similarly yearns for a period when he was a young prince with power. Both Kirk and Khan want to go back to a time when they had control.
The difference lies in how both the hero and villain deal with this need to gain back what was lost. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and other films in the series are now available for streaming on Paramount+.

Why William Shatner Allegedly Blocked Kirstie Alley From Returning For 'Star Trek 3,' According To A Trek Documentarian
Posted: September 4, 2024 | Last updated: September 4, 2024
Space may be the final frontier in the "Star Trek" world, but apparently, earthbound grudges can still travel quite keenly through the vastness of space. "Icons Unearthed" director Brian Volk-Weiss knows that firsthand, as an interview he conducted for another project involving Gene Roddenberry’s “Wagon Train to the stars” saw "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan’s" Kirstie Alley tell a story about how William Shatner allegedly blocked her from returning for the next film in the series that gave us some of the best sci-fi movies.
