Space: the final frontier… yeah, you know the rest. The original
cast stayed in their respective roles from 1966 to 1991. That’s 25 years of
Star Trek. In all that time, they weren’t able to top this theatrical triumph.
Director Nicholas Meyer wisely chose to bring back Star Trek’s best villain,
Khan. In the tv show, Khan was a genetically engineered tyrant who was defeated
by Kirk and marooned on the planet Ceti Alpha V. Now, Khan has escaped, and
plots his revenge on Kirk and the Enterprise. The film succeeds due to exhilarating
scenes of space combat and moments where Kirk truly looks beaten. Star Trek II will also make a trekkie cry. “I have been and always shall be your friend.”
