Great video. Wrath of Khan is so awesome on so many different levels. In a way, it's a perfect movie. It's easily the best Trek movie ever made. The score by James Horner is great too. I still love that Reliant ship, wish they had brought it back somehow. This movie rocks !
Biker Dash I agree, Star Trek II was a smarter movie out of all of the rest. In terms of plot lines and also how the sub plots fitted in such as Kirk facing age and the No win scenario. As well as the emotion of the death of Spock. Khan as well is still rated by most to be the best Star Trek villain, I personally think all Star Treks are interesting for their own unique stories. I mean yes Star Trek V was a complete mess for the saga but it was still a Trek film that was made with its own plots....no matter how rubbish it was. VI however changed all that with the wall coming down in space, I think that is closest to being as great as The Wrath of Khan but....its just a little corny in places. :3
2bluegems & I Dalek Productions In what sense? Because in the reboot (Into Darkness), it's set in the alternate reality. Whearas in the movies, he returns on from Exile from where Kirk put him in the episode ''Space Seed''. There ARE books out there from when Khan and McGivers settled on Ceti Alpha V and how life was for them. I THINK there were 3 books on Khan's Exile, and even up to the point of when Ceti Alpha IV exploded due to a rupture of the planets core.
Enterprise for the win but I really do love the Miranda class. Wish they had featured more in the movies. (other than brief shots of I believe the Saratoga in IV unless I'm forgetting any other appearances).
2:38 There's only 1 reason to have ENTERPRISE on the hull in front of the DORSAL CONNECTOR because the saucer section could separate from the DRIVE SECTION STAR TREK : TNG NCC 1701 D USS ENTERPRISE had the ships registry on the lower saucer section in front of the DORSAL CONNECTOR
IIRC, the Constitution class *could* separate the saucer - once. Unlike the docking clamps used on the Galaxy-class, the Connie's saucer was held on with explosive bolts - still useful in the event of an unavoidable crash, or if all else has failed and you need to get the crew away from an exploding warp core ASAP.
I never realised this before. Exactly where does the sun that shines beyond the Genesis planet come from? I can't remember there ever being a sun shown around the Regula 1/planetoid earlier in the film. Thanks for the video.
This only solidifies the fact that Wrath of Khan was little more than an excuse to have a big Starship space battle. Almost everything about this film is the antithesis of Star Trek. Especially with all of the possibilities that come from Genesis, and they spend a grand total of maybe two minutes on it. After that, it just becomes a "thing" to fight for. Talk about a total missed opportunity in every sense of the word.
Rabid Robbie At any point during Balance of Terror did Kirk refer to the Romulan Commander as evil, or treat him as a villain? At the same time, did the Romulan Commander ever show his adversary anything but the utmost respect? Even at the end "you and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could have called you friend" The battle itself isn't even that important, as you never actually SEE it. You see two recycled shots of Enterprise firing its weapons, a few static shots, and maybe two to three angles on the Romulan ship... thats it. Literally one complete minute of visual effects for the entire 55-minute episode. Meanwhile (and conversely) in Wrath of Khan, we never once see Shatner and Montalban together at the same time. What made "Space Seed" so great was the mental game between Kirk and Khan, as they spoke to each other. Yet just how much actual dialog between them did we get in the film? Two minutes? Talk about total, complete missed opportunity. There was greater character interaction between Picard and Shinzon from Nemesis (but then, another lengthy and pointless space battle).
+K1productions A starship battle is far more interesting than watching some people look at a Screensaver, that's kind of why TMP is generally a trekkers least favorite film out of the movie series.
Bonkobonko Actually it is a regular moviegoer's least favorite film of the movie series. The Trekkies mostly go against Final Frontier for varying reasons. Now, I am not saying TMP is ideal, and Decker did suck screen time away from Kirk, Spock and McCoy.... but so much damage was done to the franchise in Wrath that we are still feeling the affects to this day, ranging from retconning to serious alterations in style and terminology, and completely rewriting compelling characters into flat cookie-cutter stereotypes. "it would be interesting to return and see what crop had sprung from the seed you planted today" That crop died, Mr. Spock, it withered and died. Of all the potential re-casts from TOS to turn into a maniacal revenge nut,... you take one of the few that had tremendous potential for the future and crush it. They were far better off getting Kor, Kang or Koloth, or hell... bring back Charlie X or Trelayn, they all have legitimate beefs with Kirk. But no, Khan basically got a free pass, and almost everything he wanted at the end of his episode. Lets turn all that flat on its head, and book-end it for good. And while we're at it, give Genesis all the legitimacy as a pawn on the chess board. And I haven't even gotten to the militarized Starfleet, those Marine Corps Dress Reds they wear at duty station, and Nick Meyer having no clue what a Neutral Zone is, much less the fact that it was between the Federation and the ROMULAN Empire, not the Klingons. Speaking of horrible retcons that stick with the series from then-on. Virtually everything people complain about the JJ Abrams Trek films for, Wrath of Khan did first, complete with a Director and Producer who liked Star Trek before, and it wasn't even an Alternate Reality. But no, Wrath still stands as some sort of shining gold standard of Star Trek. Star Trek II could have, and should have been so much more,.... so much more.
***** It is a testament to Trekkie's forgetting the very thing that Star Trek had tried to teach them for 50 years, and that is how we must embrace things that are different, for it is those differences that enrich and strengthen the whole. Yet today, they want the comfortable old times. ... since when did Star Trek ever become conservative?

I can’t wait for Star Trek “door openings and closings only”.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Still waiting…..
The Warp Effect at 3:50 is my favorite version of ships going to warp speed in all of Star Trek and really in all of Sci-Fi.
“She can still outrun us and outGun us, But there is the Mutara Nebula at one five three mark four.”

Wow Enterprise is gorgeous
You missed out the first torpedo firing at the Enterprise...that one was awesome....bridge all smashed up!
8:33 to 8:43 is the most badass shot of the movie.
No CGI just Modells and Wassertanks with fluid collor collored content in it.
The music was even better than the original motion picture. May themes are suggestive not just of space or moral ideals, but of the sea.
Real miniature and special effects camera teams are STILL superior to CGI
2022
The very best Star Trek film EVER! XD

Biker Dash how does khan return during the original films?
2bluegems & I Dalek Productions In what sense? Because in the reboot (Into Darkness), it's set in the alternate reality.

uh no khan started in 1966 of original series then khan is back then again in into darkness
That's what I said....Space Seed....
Wow I didn't realize there so many ship shots in this one
11:24 We will miss you Leonard Nimoy...
8:40 is what i really love about the miranda class, it has that really nice front profile, and in my opinion, could be really intimidating
The part where Spock is ahot into SPACE ALWAYS gets me Semtimemtal.
Apparently, it doesn't make you want to spell.
@@jamessullivan4391 Up urs
I remember how spectacular this was in the 80s
It still is spectacular! They battle like Galleon Ships. Wrath of Kahn still gets me giddy 40 years on. The film is immaculate! Amd has aged like wine
Enterprise for the win but I really do love the Miranda class. Wish they had featured more in the movies. (other than brief shots of I believe the Saratoga in IV unless I'm forgetting any other appearances).
Thomas, I have all these films on DVD, but I really like these ships only versions. When I build star trek models they are great reference sources.
A fresh approach, to be sure........
Excellent !!!
2:38
There's only 1 reason to have
ENTERPRISE
on the hull in front of the
DORSAL CONNECTOR
because the saucer section
could separate from the
DRIVE SECTION
STAR TREK : TNG
NCC 1701 D
USS ENTERPRISE
had the ships registry on
the lower saucer section in
front of the
DORSAL CONNECTOR
IIRC, the Constitution class *could* separate the saucer - once. Unlike the docking clamps used on the Galaxy-class, the Connie's saucer was held on with explosive bolts - still useful in the event of an unavoidable crash, or if all else has failed and you need to get the crew away from an exploding warp core ASAP.
10:39 You can take away the actors. You can take away the dialogue. But I still wanna cry at this part!
I really hope that when this is released on Blu-Ray (or whatever) that they redo the Enterprise departure scene.
Still the best!
KHAAAAN!!!!!
LOL, so random
“Khan, you bloodsucker”...lol
You missed a couple shots of the Reliant before Khan attacks the Enterprise.
10:31 This is the Universal Studios 1993 commercial.
Khaaaaaaaan you fed my cat while I'm Awaaaaaaay.
🖖😎👍!.
I never realised this before. Exactly where does the sun that shines beyond the Genesis planet come from? I can't remember there ever being a sun shown around the Regula 1/planetoid earlier in the film. Thanks for the video.
Numinous20111 I'd assume it's the same star that Regula is orbiting, at 5:22 it's center screen although the station is eclipsing it.
Reliant's first torpedo shot is missing.
Love James Horner's music.
Revendo em 9/2019
7:41 Stormtroopers` shooting style
It's hard watching my children fight

Здравствуйте, Хан с кем воюет? С кем не поделили? Хан ! Оборудование очень дорогое.
Oooooooo

And what do you think the episode "Balance of Terror" was? Oh, wait, an episode with starships battling.
