Widely considered by Star Trek fans as the single best movie in the Trek series, this was the only one I had never seen.While I agree that it is engaging and well made, it does not top my personal list. That honor goes to Star Trek: First Contact.
I also enjoyed Star Trek: Generations and Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which, although slow and at times boring, was based on a story concept that I find, to this day, absolutely brilliant.
In Khan, the story is interesting and the action scenes superb, but I couldn't get past the campiness of the acting on the part of virtually the entire cast (exception made, possibly, for Leonard Nimoy's Spock, whose alien nature might exonerate him from looking affected).
Granted, it's still a great sci-fi movie and one of the top 3 in the series, possibly the second best, but I'll stick by the superiorly made First Contact.
Grade: 8.5
