Greatest Movie Scenes #54 - STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN
With Spock's casting, this week's great movie scene had to be from STAR TREK and what else could it be than the awesome scene near the end of possibly the best STAR TREK film... THE WRATH OF KHAN.
So, this week we found ourselves a new Spock for J.J. Abrams' re-boot of the Star Trek franchise and the response from people has been very quiet indeed. Not many people outside the Star Trek fanbase seem to care at this point and even those who are fans of the show don't seem to have much to say on it. Is it because we don't really know the guy who's playing him? That is probably it. Gonna be real interesting to see who they get to play Kirk. The chemistry between the two actors could make or break this film. This week's great movie scene had to be from Star Trek and what else could it be than the awesome scene near the end of possibly the best Star Trek film... The Wrath of Khan. BIG, BIG, BIG SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS FILM BEFORE... A great emotional scene involving the death of Spock which was so well handled by director Nicholas Meyer and smartly acted by William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. It's not over the top, it's not to sentimental and it's not too cheesy... it's just note perfect. This is the sort of death that Shatner should have received at the end of Generations but hopefully with the new reboot film, they will give him some sort of small cameo which will be a fitting end to his incredible Star Trek legacy.
