Critic Reviews

There is something comfortable, even old-shoeish, about the new film, a sense, appropriate to its theme of coming to terms with middle age, that all aboard are pleasurably rediscovering their best selves.

-Richard SchickelFull Review

Star Trek II is a very satisfying space adventure, closer in spirit and format to the popular TV series than to its big-budget predecessor.

-Variety StaffFull Review

If only director Nicholas Meyer had grasped the implications of his tale more fully and enthusiastically, this might have become a classic piece of cornball SF poetry, but as it stands the tepid acting and one-set claustrophobia take a heavy toll.

-Dave KehrFull Review

Although I liked the special effects in the first movie, they were probably not the point; fans of the TV series wanted to see their favorite characters again, and Trek II understood that desire and acted on it.

-Roger EbertFull Review

Here comes a sequel that's worth its salt. The second Star Trek movie is swift, droll and adventurous, not to mention appealingly gadget-happy. It's everything the first one should have been and wasn't.

-Janet MaslinFull Review

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.

-James BerardinelliFull Review

Infusing more humanity and character work in the first ten minutes than TMP managed in its entire duration, The Wrath Of Khan is a satisfying improvement in almost every respect.

-Stephen CartyFull Review

Meyer does a superb job of bringing Montalban's sinister yet charming character back into the fold...

-David NusairFull Review

"To boldly go" never went quite so boldly as it did here.

-Rob VauxFull Review

High-flying installment of the TV space saga.

-Charles CassadyFull Review

If this is the supposed high point for the Star Trek movie series, it's still a low point for sci-fi.

-Josh LarsenFull Review

khaaaaan!

-Stefan Birgir Stefansson

It's not Shakespeare, but it's certainly fun.

-Full Review

This is one of the most popular in the series, thanks to a high action quotient (including a tensely staged space battle), a suitably campy turn by Montalban, and the shock value of Spock's 'death.'

-Full Review

Keep on Trekkin' ... The Star Trek TV series boldly went where none of its movie versions have gone before or since in Meyer's exceedingly space-worthy sequel.

-Thomas DelapaFull Review

The net effect, between embarrassed guffaws, is incredulity: a movie at once post-TV and pre-DW Griffith.

-Derek AdamsFull Review

Many fans consider this the best of the series, and I like it very much.

-Jeffrey M. AndersonFull Review

There's got to be some moral in the fact that the Star Trek movie with the smallest budget (by far) and fewest resources is still the dominant favorite...

-Mark BourneFull Review

Awesome Star Trek flick!

-Kevin Carr

What movie would be complete without an incredible villain? In Khan, Ricardo Montalban created a villain of legendary proportions.

-Scott NashFull Review

Still the best "Trek" film. KHAN!!!!

-Michael A. Smith

Still the best of all 'Trek' flicks.

-Steve Crum

probably the best-ever trek movie

-Rich Cline

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan works as both a science fiction adventure story and as a thematically rich drama.

-Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatFull Review

Ricardo Montalban plays the badass Khan in one of the most commanding performances of his career.

-Full Review

Has everything you could ask for in a good sci‑fi action-adventure: well-drawn heroes, a terrific villain, exciting outer-space showdowns… and a touch of reflective depth.

-Steven D. GreydanusFull Review

Arguably the best of the Star Trek movies.

-Dan Lybarger

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is a movie that transcends it's genre, it's format, it's fan base to really get inside the hearts and heads of people across all barriers the world over. This is the way to make Star Trek movies RIGHT.

-Joshua TylerFull Review

The best of the Star Trek film series, a gloriously operatic revenge tale full of sound and fury, violence and vengeance, humor and empathy.

-James KendrickFull Review

Masterful... classic.
