What Your Favourite Star Trek Movie Says About You
Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan
Even though The Motion Picture was a huge commercial success, it was not a hit with many fans and critics. Some felt it lacked the fun element of The Original Series and was far too serious and preachy.
So Paramount brought in a new producer, Harve Bennett and regulated Gene Roddenberry to the role of Executive Producer. They also put Nicholas Meyer in the directors chair and he changed the face of Star Trek that would resonate through every other incarnation since.
The film continued the story of Khan Noonian Singh who was seen in the Original Series episode Space Seed. Marooned by Kirk on Ceti Alpha 5, Khan escapes and and is hell bent on revenge. The film dealt with a crew dealing with getting older and their own mortality and destiny. Spock was also killed off in one of Star Treks most famous scenes, and Kirks long lost son was introduced.
The whole film is about life, death and how we deal with it. It is considered by almost everybody as the best Star Trek movie.
What It Says About You:If this is your favorite, you are not alone. The Motion Picture was a bit too grey for your liking.
You enjoy Star Trek when its Kirk taking on an identifiable villain and the previous film didn't have a proper bad guy to hate. Be it The Doomsday Machine or Nomad from The Changeling, your Star Trek is when Kirk outsmarts a superior force with ingenuity. Just when you think the chips are down, Kirk finds a way to win. And with that, The Wrath Of Khan captured the human relationships that made Original Series a joy to watch. It doesn't try to present the crew as they were in the show, it doesn't shy away from that these people have got older and now have new battles to deal with.
The Wrath Of Khan is more to you than KHAAAAAAAANNNN, it is about not losing hope as you journey through life. Its about forming bonds and learning to deal with them when they break. When they say ''explore new worlds,'' this film found the balance between the macro and the micro better than any other Star Trek movie.
You also love space fights but not the Star Wars variety, you prefer to see giant ships make slow passes as they punch holes in each other. Action doesnt have to be lightning fast; there is more drama in every phaser blast in The Wrath Of Khan than a million Death Stars exploding.You are a person who likes conflict. You dont always start the flight but you will do your best to win. Be it a debate, Internet argument or fist fight, you will find a way to win. And nothing satisfies you more than bringing a smart-arse down to size. If only I thought of it then is something you rarely say after an argument.
