Having been born in late 1983, I obviously missed out on the chance to see one of my favorite movies on the big screen. Next week, that finally changes! I’ll be going on September 13th to see Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan in theaters! I couldn’t be more excited about it!
As many a Trek geek will agree, Wrath of Khan is one of if not my top pick for Star Trek movies. I can’t count the number of times I’ve watched it on VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, or just randomly finding it on TV.
The newest Blu-ray director’s cut is excellent. I picked that up and watched it immediately. I’ve been able to enjoy the movie on a fairly large screen with surround sound, but this will obviously be a whole different experience. I’m really glad that it is the Director’s Cut we’ll be seeing in the theater though.
To prepare ourselves, Ashley and I watched the TOS episode ‘Space Seed’ last night. I’ll also be wearing my Wrath of Khan shirt to the theater. Yes, I’m that guy.
There should still be time to get in on this showing if this is the first you’re hearing of it. What are you waiting for, got over to Fandango and order some tickets!
Now, can we get the same treatment for the rest of the Original Series movies too please? I’d love to see TSFS, TVH and TUC especially in theaters.
