The television characters show up in another movie, this time it's a revenge theme. STAR TREK II THE WRATH OF KHAN is set in the 23rd century where spaceships and warp drive and life on other planets are commonplace. Captain Kirk (William Shatner) has been promoted to admiral and learns that Khan wants revenge on him and that the Genesis device could be used by his evil foe to destroy countless lives. His old friend Spock (Leonard Nimoy) is present and is thrown into the fray as well. A bit campy but I loved the syndicated TV program so I am biassed to this science-fiction film which has a harrowing end for one of the kewl good-guy characters. Maybe they'll make another one...wink. [4.1 stars]
