Conventional wisdom of the Trekkie kind has it that "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" is the best of the movies spun off from the original "Star Trek" television series. Believe it. The old gang from the Starship Enterprise is on board: Admiral James T. Kirk, his Vulcan second-in-command Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy, Uhura, Scotty and all the rest of our 23rd-century pals. They leave Earth on a routine mission, only to encounter the menace of the genetically enhanced tyrant Khan, once marooned by Kirk on a hostile planet. Gaining control of the world-shattering Genesis device, Khan wants to make his dreams of revenge and galactic conquest a reality. When William Shatner as Kirk and Ricardo Montalban as Khan face off, it's a feast of deliciously over-the-top acting. With swashbuckling action, sacrifices by beloved characters and a touching subtext about aging warriors fighting their last battles, "The Wrath of Khan" merits repeated viewings. This two-disc set offers a new director's cut and scads of extra features. It's a must-have.
