    One of my earliest movie memories as a very little 80s kid was Wrath of Khan, and it wasn't until many years later that I realized why. I was too young to even understand the movie at that age, but not too young to appreciate Horner literally telling a story without words. ❤

I just about jumped out my seat when the Enterprise came up behind Khan's ship... a wonderful space battle. It returns us to the original intent of space travel science fiction, just as man once explored his own planet in Caravels, now, man must explore the oceans of stars in great star ships.

      I just got the 40th Anniversary edition and had recently tripped over my speaker wires, breaking one and damaging another speaker... I HAVE another speaker setup available in its box, but I have yet to install it and replace the damaged speaker setup. One minute into "Wrath of Khan"s intro theme and now I'm going to finally fix that ALL up just so I can un-pause and finally keep watching with a PROPER soundtrack playing..! Otherwise I can listen to my built-in TV speakers.
      Hmmm... Tinny TV speakers, 'smart tv' or not...versus THX 5.1 Surround sound setup for watching Wrath of Khan. Wellllll, that question answers itself, really!

    1:33 This is the best part of the video. The whole video is so well edited and fits with the music but this one moment encapsulates that so well. You get Kirk building up to yell KHAN! but right as the music swells it switches to a different clip that also lines up perfectly with the music, specifically a shot of the Reliant, "Khan's ship", vravo bince.

    Nicholas Meyer was a great writer and director, he gave Star Trek an emotional depth that the Original series lacked at times, Starfleet feels more militaristic and rigid in this film than the others but it fits considering the subject matter.
    The score by a young composer named James Horner at the time made an indelible mark on Trek forever after.

    I know the actors hated wearing them, but the uniforms in this and the other movies before TNG got involved are my favorites out of all Trek. They just LOOK like an actual officer's uniform and not some art director's idea of "future fashion". I.e. jumpsuits and weird, unnatural cuts.

      I agree 100%
      Original Series = Looked a bit flimsy and fraqile.
      TNG = Looked too much like luxury cruise ships
      DIS = Too futuristic, deviates too much from star trek style
      PIC = No consistency in style, overdetailed ships
      TOS Movie era really was the peak. These ships are beautiful while still looking realistic and "down-to-earth". For me, this is the best version of Starfleet that actually felt "serious".

    When the Enterprise is desperately trying to escape the building Genesis wave, Khan is looking out the viewport & he gives his “ From hells heart I stab at thee “ speech.
    Khan thinks he is about to kill his hated enemy Kirk.
    But at the last moment Spock restores power & dies, the Enterprise doomis able to go to warp speed mile & makes its escapes.
    Khan sees this & screams an anguished “ NO ! “ & then the Reliant blows up, killing Khan. Wow.

    Sometimes I wonder if my judgement that WoK is the best Trek movie of all time--maybe the best sci-fi--is the result of the soundtrack perhaps more than everything else. It certainly doesn't separate itself from but elevates the subject, writing, acting, and FX.

    To me, Horner’s music IS Star Trek
    I will never understood why Paramount didn’t always go with him for every ST movie following II & III. Instead they jumped from composer to composer. Obviously some greats in there like Jerry Goldsmith … but still Horner and Trek WAS proven to be a winning combination.
    It would be like not having the Bond theme in every Bond movie , or not having a Williams theme in every SW movie.
    Even if Horner wouldn’t score, arrange , conduct and record the actual soundtrack … they could have went to him to at least license his themes like SW did with Williams and Rogue One.
    Just made no sense that TWOK and TSFS are the only ones that got the Horner treatment, because it was THAT good.
