Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (1982) Sci-Fi Marathon

Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (1982) - The second and best Star Trek movie. William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and the crew are in battle against Khan (Ricardo Montalban) in a great tale of revenge vs. strategy. Khan was stranded on a planet 15 years before but escapes when Chekov (Walter Koenig) comes across his group while surveying the planet in the hopes of using it to test the Genesis device. Khan captures and uses Chekov to get off the planet and capture the ship Reliant to use to hunt down and kill Kirk. The battles scenes are great and Star Trek is so classic. It was amazing to hear 700 people at the marathon yell "KHAN!" with Kirk. Just excellent.
Rating (8.7)
