Well considering how easy my standards were set after that first movie well Mr. Wrath of Khan you had it easy. Sure, you had the benefit of a better script and better effects. Sure, you had some experience under your belt, and by experience I mean you ripped scenes frame for frame from your predecessor. And aren’t you a strange bird, the only Star Trek movie where the “bad guys” aren’t aliens, assuming you don’t count genetically modified super humans as aliens, which you shouldn’t. So Mr. Wrath of Khan, I applaud you for setting Star Trek right, even with your silly life giving biblical rocket proto-energy-cheating machine and that wonderful flare-y planet graphic which we get to keep seeing that looks like stereo volume projected on a sphere.

Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
As you go through watching the Star Trek movies, you have to be aware of the (very true) rule of thumb that even numbered Star Trek movies are good, and the odd ones less so.
Star Trek II: Khaaaaaaan Good.
Star Trek IV: Whales. Time travel. Scott h4×0ring on an old mac. Awesome.
Star Trek VI: Klingons. Singing in rounds. Pink blood. Awesome.
Star Trek VIII (First Contact): More time travel. One of the best.
Star Trek X (Nemesis): Didn’t do so well in theaters, but much better than IX.
That being said, VII (Generations) is worth it, just for how hilarious Data can be during it. And V is TERRIBLE.
