Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Day 11
Film 12

To be brief Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is a huge piece of nerd culture, and a necessary requirement to be educated in the wonders of the nerd. I needed to watch this film.

Wrath of Khan is a surprisingly good piece of cinema. It is a Star Trek film, which are known for their ups and downs. Khan is the shining star of the franchise because it is a solidly acted, written and shot piece of cinema that grabs you and does not let you go. Khan, played by the late great Ricardo Montelban, is a superb villain who loses by his own pride. Shatner, whom I enjoy laughing at as an actor rather than respecting, plays his aging general role well enough to provide the perfect foil for Khan. It all just fits perfectly into a fun two hours.

I would recommend anyone who has not seen it to see it, and for those who love it to watch it again.
