  • Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan 1982

    ★★★★ Rewatched 20 May, 2013

    This is one of the better Star Trek movies. It's also one of the most spoofed Trek movies out there. It's one of the best scripted movies but also one of the most over acted Trek movies and that notion often gets over looked with rose tinted glasses. The thing that this film has for it is Khan.

    This is three hours split into two parts. By doing that we get a lot more of the detail that we don't get in Finchers which…
