I am going to give some minor spoilers. If you haven't seen the movie and want to, don't read this thread.
I did not realize this was a remake, I shut the movie off after 20 minutes, had I known, I may have watched. Loved Ricardo montoban in wrath of khan, great movie and he played one of the best Villan Roles ever, that's including Bond villans
First 80% was pretty good. Then some over-sentimental suit took a giant dump.all over it. I see it as a missed opportunity to have remade Khan a la the Joker in the Dark Knight.
I think The Wrath of Khan is one of the 5 best science fiction movies ever made. They had ironed out a lot of the campiness of the original TV series, and it was the beginning of the age of real special effects, which made science fiction possible.
I think Star Wars: A New Hope and the Empire Strikes Back have to be thanked for this, not Wrath of Kahn.
