The last 20 minutes of this movie represents possibly the best stretch of Star Trek ever


It goes, in such a short span, from tense, to achingly sad, to introspective, to, finally, hope.

True.

You're probably right.

You're right, none of the other movies ever get this close to perfection as ST 2 does.

reply

think ST2 was really the first of the 'major established character dies' movies that all others coming after have sought to equal but none can do it as ST2 did it so perfect and it was the first (e.g Generations/Nemesis, X2, Alien3, SW:TFA, BvS, Endgame..etc)

I agree. Star Trek into Darkness's version of that scene was embarrassingly bad....

It's honestly one of the better pop films out there that deals with death. For anyone who has lost someone they love, or about to lose someone they love, "Wrath of Khan" can be a very therapeutic experience.
