The TVI Take
Nicholas Meyer's 1982 Star Trek sequel that reset the franchise after the underwhelming Motion Picture. The structural commitment to letting Ricardo Montalbán's Khan render the canonical revenge-driven antagonist with theatrical-grade gravitas — and the canonical 'KHAAAAAN' moment plus the Spock-sacrifice finale — established Wrath of Khan as the highest-scoring Star Trek film and the franchise's measuring stick.
