Movie Review

In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Kirk and the crew battle a robotic intelligence. In The Wrath of Khan, they battle a human (well, sort of) which results in a much thicker plot and rich interaction between hero and villain. Khan is the perfect psychopath and William Shatner delivers one of his strongest performances. The story is superior to it's predecessor though the graphics in The Motion Picture seemed to be better, even though it was created three years before. The Wrath of Khan is by far the saddest of all the movie but luckily, The Search for Spock makes amends. If you don't mind sub par graphics, The Wrath of Khan is one of the better "Star Trek" movies.
