We open the film as the enterprise seemingly has a new captain in Kirstie Alley's Saavik, only to find out its a training exercise put together by Spock and Admiral Kirk. I was thoroughly impressed by this sequel even 30 years after its release. It's also a solid 30 minutes shorter without cutting out anything that would hurt the story. This film wipes away silly and unnecessary special effects and gives us an intriguing story with characters who we understand and care about. I took issue with the pacing, overuse of special effects, length, and the lack of a present villain in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is better than the first film in almost every aspect. Sequels are supposed to take what was great about the first outing and expand on it while also improving upon the mishaps as well.
