Gathered together on the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise, the finest Starship in the Starfieet, during a periious mission are (left to right) Kim Ryusaki (as a cadet), Kirstie Alley (Lt. Saeavik), Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock), George Takei (Sulu) and William Shatner {(Admiral James T. Kirk) in Paramount Pictures‘ "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan." While reestablishing the format that made the 1966â€"69 series so successful in ‘70s synâ€" dication, the picture also lays some promisâ€" ing groundwork for Bew interâ€"character reâ€" lationships and new diâ€" rections in storyâ€" By Victor Stanton If there were any plans to resurrect Star Trek as a TV series, the movie Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan MOVIE REVIEW would serve as the ideal pilot. Quality evident in The Wrath of Khan Certainly, at least three elements in the movie are strongly rooted in the traditionâ€" al scenarios out of, which numerous televiâ€" sion series have been captainâ€"inâ€"theâ€"making, a byâ€"theâ€"book young ofâ€" ficer named Saaqvik who is halfâ€"Vulcan\ (a race of peaceâ€"lovers with green blood, pointed ears and emoâ€" tional control), halfâ€" Romulan (a race of former Earth enemies) and female (enough of a women‘s libber to be more than a sex object and feminine enough to provide a balance in a shou‘s sexual appeal).

The primary plot is, in fact, a sequel to & firstâ€"season episode, Space Seed, which guestâ€"starred Ricardo Montalban as Khan, a lateâ€"20thâ€"century Earthâ€"born warrior chieftain found drifting in spac;i’;n a form of suspen animation. At the end of that eipsode, Khan and a female scientist from the Enterprise were banished to a desolate planet where they vowed to.create a new civilization. The problem with Star Trek in movie format (Wrath Of Kahn follows, with no particâ€" ular stylistic or draâ€" matic continuity, 1979‘s Star Trek â€" ’ghe Moâ€" tion Picture) is that it must be inevitably compared to the origiâ€" nal TV series. In a sense, the 1979 picture tried to stand alone in its bigâ€"budgetâ€" ed special effects opuâ€" lence, as something that couldn‘t be done specifically for televiâ€" sion, but what boxâ€"ofâ€" fice success it had was pretty much dependent on the devotion of the dieâ€"hard Trekkies. Wrath Of Khan setâ€" tles for being basically another episode in the TV series, though at a length that likely would have required it being shown in two or even maybe three parts if aired in the weekly forâ€" mat. By itself, this plot doesn‘t contain a great deal that isn‘t routine and predictable, not only to Star Trek fans but to almost anyone who is a regular movieâ€" goer or TV watclLler. _ What makes the picâ€" ture more enjoyable than most is the same humanism and humor in the relationships among the crew of the Enterprise that was the most distinctive aspect of the series. Again, as on TV, Kirk, the now Captain Spock and Chief Mediâ€" cal Officer McCoy are given preâ€"eminence over the other reguâ€" lars, Chief Engineer Scott, Chekhovy (now also, curiously enough, a commander and acâ€" tually playing a key role, at least initially, in this story), helmsâ€" man Sulu and Comâ€" munications Officer Uhura. Among the new charâ€" acters, Saavik, played likeably enough by newcomer Kirstie Alley, and Kirk‘s old flame Carol, portrayed effectively by Bibi Besch, get most screen time, while Terrell, the captain of another (long hair extra) Mens Hair Cuts . . ... 7.00 includes cut, wash reg. 9.00 and blow dry.

It seems a little surâ€" prising that the charâ€" acter of Kirk‘s son, played well enough by another young newâ€" comer Merritt Butrick, is given so little attenâ€" tion in the story. Its lack of anything unique, though, makes its importance as a movie certainly less than significant. Had it heralded the start of a new series, it could have been an incrediâ€" ble television event. Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan disâ€" plays quality and comâ€" petence in all areas of filmâ€"making craftsâ€" manship, and certainly is pleasant viewing fare for virtually all ages. Less crammed with action than the Star Wars pictures, for instance, it will perâ€" haps appeal more to those with mature tastes in adventureâ€" themed entertainment, however.
