Excellent recap of this film upon its release and why it has endured.
I think I fall into the same camp about Star Trek and didn't REALLY get into it until college, and only because my roommate was SOOOO into it. (Maybe slightly unhealthy. lol) I also rmember seeing that FIRST Star Trek film in the theater and being ZZZzzzzzzzzz.
Luckily, they regrouped and made the sequel films amazing.
Definitely a great job. And it's not that I didn't like Star Trek, I just wan't all in. It's kind of like saying you like Saving Private Ryan because there's army guys in it. Anyway, thanks for reading. Live long and prosper.
Also, as I've done a stack on my college roommates obsession with Godzilla. lol...
I'm also going to do a substack on his obsession with Star Trek. WHY he was obsessed... how it affected ME... And his purchase $$$$$ of two pieces of the TV shows memorabilia.
So thank you for inspiring me to get that going soon.
Wrath of Khan, the under-appreciated Search for Spock, and Voyage Home make for a great trilogy. My copy of WoK was recorded from an ABC broadcast that had additional scenes that were not in the theatrical release. (It also has a bunch of TV ads from the run-up to the 1988 New Hampshire presidential primary which are artifacts in themselves. But I dare not try to put it into my VCR. I lost my copy of New Hope that way.)

And leonard Nimoy did a great job directing this.

My pleasure. Can't wait to read it.
Best of the original Trek movies
One thing I like about this movie was that, Trekkie or not, its just a good movie. Enduring is right! "Everyone remember where we parked"!
Voyage Home Is Good Movie!

I also taped Wraith of Khan off TV and saw that extra footage. I wore that tape out too.
