MY REVIEW
In the second (and probably most popular) Star Trek movie, Admiral Kirk is now a Startfleet Academy instructor, while Captain
Spock serves as a cadet training officer, while being in command of the U.S.S. Enterprise. Meanwhile, scientists
aboard Space Station Regula I are conducting the Project Genesis experiment, and the U.S.S. Reliant is assigned to the Genesis
project. While surveying a lifeless planet in the Ceti Alpha start system, Cmdr. Chekov and Capt. Clark Decker
beam down to the sixth planet, and find a shocking discovery, in which cargo containers are located. Unknown to the Reliant
crew was that the cargo containers housed refugees from the Eugenics Wars of 1990s Earth, with Khan Noonian Singh in charge. Khan
later reveals that Ceti Alpha VI exploded, and shifted the orbit of the fifth planet as a Mars-like haven. Khan manages to hijack
the Reliant, and manages to steal the Genesis Project, and is involved in a surprise attack, in which Khan vows to avenge his exile.
Unfortunately, Captain Spock sacrifices himself to save the Enterprise from the premeditated arming of the Genesis torpedo, and
after his death, his casket (which is a converted torpedo tube) is fired from the U.S.S. Enterprise...
