DandyDon's rating
From beginning to end this movie builds suspense and tension in the style of the '50s horror movies with the graphics and realism of the late '70s/early '80s. True classic of the genre! Though the plot is somewhat different and truncated (no pun intended) from the Stephen King original, Jack Nicholson makes this movie fascinating entertainment you won't be able to take your eyes from! Watch this one versus the boring, overlong TV version and see which one makes YOU jump from your seat! i remember watching this movie when it first showed on pay tv and I had nightmares about the part where Scatman Crothers meets the insane Nicholson with axe and the scenes with Jack nicholson chasing his son through the snow maze! Don't miss this movie!!
This sequel to the Star Trek TV series and first Star Trek movies is the ultimate film for any Scifi fan and a rivetting drama for movie fans in general. More action packed and interesting than the original Star Trek movie, it brings the TV show cast onto the big screen by meeting a villain from the TV show (Khan), obsessively portrayed by Ricardo Montalban. Equally obsessive is William Shatner in his finest role playing Admiral Kirk, an ageing man reluctant to return to command of the USS Enterprise, but a man who finds his first, best destiny is at the helm of his ship. The battle scenes are the most engaging of any movie, and the action only lets up long enough for the audience to catch their breath and to advance the storyline. Witty characters, clever plot devices and ingenious writing and, by late 1990s standards, subdued use of special effects make this movie meet and often exceed the quality of the original show. Even 16 years later, the movie's technoligy does not seem "dated" because of the subdued use of Computer "tricks"! And NO cast of characters(sorry "Next Generation" fans!) ever had the chemistry or style the original Star trek cast after 16 years together, a comaraderie showcased in this movie. I saw this movie while I was in High School during the movie's original run and it gets better every single time I see it! The best!!
