Admiral Kirk’s midlife crisis seemed to him of paramount importance. But only until he received a message from the planet Seta Alpha 5 that his old enemy had appeared, hungry for revenge.

Khan, a genetically created superhuman with highly developed intellect, physical strength and ambition, has already met once with the Enterprise’s crew, but then he and his people, who decided to seize the ship, were stopped and left as punishment on the first habitable planet they came across.

And now, after 15 years, Khan was able to get out of his forced hermitage. And he has only one goal – to destroy Kirk, whom he considers the culprit of all his misfortunes. The long-standing confrontation between two strong personalities will now unfold against the backdrop of the Federation’s secret experiments on terraforming planets.

But this time, Kirk will have to defeat, whatever the cost, and he will have to start by defeating his own ego …

4k movies reviews
Over and over again I have found that the order of viewing Star Trek 2009 -> CBT -> all other feature films – was the right choice. After all, how many more wonderful discoveries is the last film preparing for me? It turns out that Abrams is not such a villain as it sometimes seems, and Kobayashi Maru really exists, and Kirk passed it three times, and the phrase taken in the epigraph of this text is not just a random set of sounds.

Kobayashi Maru for a real trekker is to relive and comprehend the ending of ‘Wrath of the Khan’. Stopping nervously biting his nails, calming his frantic heartbeat (I’m sure all this is present both in the third and fourth viewing), convince himself that this is exactly how it should have happened.

Meanwhile, on the fronts, everything is as before. The team is partially slowly aging, partially overgrown with strange and so far faceless offspring (why is a separate question, more on that in the next series). But he still stubbornly stomps where a person’s foot has not yet stepped.

But in this film you can look at the ideal of a Man (just like that, with a capital M) of the old times. This, of course, is Khan with his sophisticated mind, powerful physique and Nordic character. Not very much like, say, Robert Pattinson, right? And also – to admire the real Friendship (yes, that’s right, with a capital D). Friendship and faith in the best, which all these guys charge through the screen, even under the most unfavorable circumstances.
