Cumberbatch playing a villain role is amazing

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan 1982 We tried it once your way, Khan, are you game for a rematch? Khan, I'm laughing at the "superior intellect." Khan: Full impulse power!

The Prime Directive is the #1 most important rule in Starfleet. Don’t discount what it is supposed to prevent.

And while the Prime Directive is all very in theory, let's face it, at times it's crazy, which is why the best Captains so often break it lol.

I'm a long-time Star Trek fan, & I LOVE these movies, especially the specific way they created the alternate timeline.

Vulcans are actually just as emotional, and in some ways even more emotional than humans. This almost destroyed their culture in the past. This is why their philosophy of logic is so important to them.

my family are all big trekkies and have been for as long as i can remember, and we all loved these movies

The Prime Directive was created after the events in the TV Show, Star Trek: Enterprise which came out between 2001-2005. In that series, the Federation didn’t exist yet. It takes place 100 years before Kirk and Spock even existed. Many civilizations and societies were negatively affected from Starfleet’s interference throughout that series. Between the Enterprise show, and the TOS series is when the Federation and the Prime Directive was born. So the Prime Directive is the values and ideals that they sworn to protect and uphold. The Augments were also from a time that took place during the Enterprise series called the Eugenics War where superhuman beings were trying to take over as they had superior strength, tactical skills and heightened intelligence. It was a very intense storyline. If you ever watch any of the series, you can start from any of them and still understand what’s going on since all of them bring something different to the franchise.

This version of Khan is my favorite villain in this trilogy and way better than the villain in the first one.

So fascinating seeing someone watch these movies with no previous "Star Trek" knowledge. It makes sense to watch the Abrams movies as it's an alternate time line but there's so much lore that's missed and many, MANY nods to the original series and movies. It's also a bit ironic to hear the "Mission Impossible" movies mentioned as I have not seen any of them.

Definitively my favorite of the reboot trilogy. I'm a fan of the original movies and when I saw this one for the 1st time, I didn't figure out who the villian really was at first. Cumberbatch: "My name is Khan" Me: "HOLY SH..." 🤯🤯🤯

If you want to see how the original encounter with Khan, to which Old Spock was referring, went--

LOOOOVE These Star Trek movies....the new trilogy is awesome for bringing in new viewers

Cumberbatch being in this movie is pretty amusing because Michael Giacchino reused much of the basics of his Star Trek score for when he scored Doctor Strange. If you listen to them they are *very* similar.

I've watched both your reactions on Star Trek. I'm so glad that people still enjoy this franchise. If I were you, I would start with the Next Generation series (sir Patrick Stewart as the bold captain of the Enterprise). I'm about to watch your Fallout episode 1 reaction. Looking forward to that.

Mr Spock is a version of Prince Namor the SUB-MARINER Blessings and HUGS! 👑💜

It's because in Starfleet history, contact with less advanced Civilisations has always led to severe problems in the past so they don't contact other species unless they have gained warp technology.

Vulcans have very intense emotions that they can't control when, so instead they suppress them and use their logic. They are stronger than humans partly because their planet has higher gravity and harsher climate.

I'd pay good money to see you react to Star Trek:Wrath of Khan.

I'm so so glad you like these movies! I wonder if you'd watch Star Trek The Next Generation TV SHOW and Star Trek Voyager show. They're 2 of my all time favorite shows.

"At great cost, yes." :( iykyk

5:05 - Prime Directive is very important. There are so many ways a primitive civilization can go wrong if interfered with, so much destruction! Personally, I think Prime Directive is a logical explanation for Fermi's Paradox (if life exists in the universe, where is it?). If humans figured out that interference is bad in 1960s, surely advanced aliens can also figure that out.

Great reaction ❤😊I love this one too😊

this is my fav ST movie.....Khan is a great villian.ST is a great universe.Thanku for reacting to it

They just get better, the next, Beyond, is my favourite! Enjoy 😊

Yay! Glad you did this and you'll be doing the 3rd. I've seen the original Star Trek TV show where all the characters are years older. It's fun watching these movies which are prequels to the original show.

an attempt to explain some of the differing opinions on these films - Essentially, OG Trk and especially The Next Generation leaned heavily into the philosophical side of scifi. It's main point of difference form Star Wars was that it was not just a popcorn film, which arguably the new Trek is, along with it's willingness to ignore science in favor of spectacle. That of course causes some dislike from fans who preferred the 'deeper' approach to Star Trek. As for this specific film, it is divisive because it is essentially a retelling of one of the previous movies (The Wrath Of Khan), but in a way certain elements have less impact and to those who saw the OG first, it came off as a bit lame. Cumberbatch did a brilliant job here but had an impossible task of filling the shoes of one of the best villain portrayals of all time. These movies are great, I had lots of fun with them and they look/sound amazing, but if you had to boil it down, I watch these for a popcorn film, but if I want something with more depth... OG all the way. Sadly, with JJ leaning so heavily into Wrath of Khan for this, I think it does tend to make it just a tad less rewatchable in the long term. btw.. if they serve as a gateway to new audiences for the OG... they did their job!

"does it really matter if they saw the ship and worship it?" - That right there sums up the difference in Trek's.. here it skims over the issue, in OG this has been deeply explored, and yeah.. it's not good.

Definitely try “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” and “Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country”. Then, if you like those, try 3, 4, The Motion Picture, and First Contact.

Wrath of Kahn movie was a masterpiece so I was worried about this one when rumors of Kahn been on the movie. But honestly I enjoy it

Fun fact, Bill Hader is the voice of the computer on the Vengeance.

I’d really like to see humanity progress to this stage. The movie feels so future possible.

I like these films and all of Trek in general but I’m just a casual fan.

I love how "cheesy" Marcus' reaction to having her leg broken. And Kahn's face when he smashed Marcus' head. Total original Star Trek acting.

Unfortunately the latest update on the next movie won’t be continuing this series. It’s going to be an origin story I guess set way before the events of these. Probably about when Starfleet was first created.

I LOVE STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS!!!!!!!!

That's a good villain if you don't know who to root for!

You need to watch the episode with Khan "Space Seed" from the Original Star Trek series... and then the movie "The Wrath Of Khan" the best Star Trek movie....

What really makes this Star Trek trilogy work is simple. J.J. Abrams. His direction is amazing. They had a lot of source material for Khan since he is the worst villain they would ever face. And they got one of the best actors on the planet to play him. I love the storyline and acting of Scotty. I hate that Anton Yelchin (Chekov) died in 2016. I loved his work and he had a great career and life ahead of him. By the way… I’m a Star Wars fan. The only Star Trek films I love are these three film by Abrahms.

Glad to see you moving up the Trek learning curve, even if starting with the re-boot movies which take place in an alternate timeline. If you start getting into Trek, you might want to react to a few episodes from the original series.

This movie was amazing

His motive was better??? Nero's entire world was destroyed. He wants to inflict that pain and suffering on everyone else and destroy the Federation that let his family die. Khan wants to save his seventy-two crew members so that they can all be baddies.

This movie is BLASPHEMY

I pretty much like both movies 1 and 2. Great movies, actors, fun to watch. Very watchable Star Trek movies. I have never been a full ST fan, just had some experience before the new movies, and while I appreciate the old movies, I like these two bests. And yeah, you are right, I think mostly the real fans of the franchise were not that wild about the new movies, maybe they did not fully fit into the canon, or had somewhat different take on what a Star Trek movie should be. But they got me.

it's hard to tell if Benedict Cumberbatch is handsome or scary-looking. he's like the male Uma Thurman-she's beautiful in 'Pulp Fiction' but without makeup she looks like a lizard! It's interesting when when certain people have that strange mixture of ambiguity in their face LOL

Lizard lolest oh my goodness, I just re-read that part of your comment. But yes, there's ambiguity in some of these actors so it gives a different landscape to work with in different movies

I’ve seen the comments and nobody has spoiled a thing. A thing from an older Star Trek movie that makes this better. It was written and made with the idea the audience would understand. Spoilers below for Star Trek wraith or khan: Towards the end of wraith or khan, Kirk tricks khan into destroying his own ship. And the enterprise is damaged and Spock replies it absorbing a lethal dose of radiation. In this movie, young Spock asks old Spock how they beat him. Then in the next scene he asks bones to activate the torpedo. Then when Kirk is dying and talking to Spock they say Kirk: using what he wanted against him, thats clever. Spock: it’s what you would have done. Kirk: and this, is what you would have done, it’s only logical. So they flipped it, even though this is a new timeline, maybe somethings are inevitable.

They made that clear in the first one. The universe righting itself. Even though they had different experiences from TOS characters they all ended up on the Enterprise. The ship they went to Kronos on to get Khan was Harry Mudd's ship from the episode Mudd's Women.

Yeah, I love the films with the TOS cast but I find the show hard to watch with how dated it is now. I still think TNG holds up a fair amount though and I can still watch that today and get a lot out of it, and I think the show exceeds the movies unlike with TOS. I’m a casual fan though and haven’t seen DS9, Voyager or Enterprise but have watched all of the modern Paramount+ shows (yes including all 4 seasons of Discovery, yikes).

I think you should watch some of the original episodes, or at least the important ones.

I like this one best, then the third one, then the first one. The only reason I don't have a tie for part three and part one is part one's villain wasn't interesting

Now you’ll compare the original characters and production of the films based off the new ones. Will you then have to rewatch these to really get the achievement and real understanding of the these new movies?

Probably better to watch them this way. If he watched the better ones first then he would find the whole Khaaaaan laughable. While he got spoilers it at least made the movies fresh and enjoyable. The originals are dated cinematically but watching the originals and then this is such an eyeroll when they repeat that scene. And the magical blood is so stupid. No one should die anymore. The huge ship was ridiculous after the huge ship in the first movie. It got to be The Little Engine That Could. The ending cracked me up with "I can't beam him up but I can beam you down" followed by "I can beam you down". I always picture Oprah screaming "And you get beamed down, and you get beamed down".

they wanted to make a 4th with Chris Hemsworth as the dad....(time travel) but they didn't want to pay Hemsworth what he wanted so he backed out

RIP LEONARD NIMOY THE LAST PHYSICAL APPEARANCE AS SPOCK!!! SMALL CAMEO!! :(

When you are done watching these. Watch the originals.

Between this movie where the Enterprise warps from the Klingon homeworld back to Earth in about a minute, and The Force Awakens where the equivalent of a giant solar flare travels thousands of light years in about a minute, I think JJ Abrams literally has no idea how big space is.

Btw i feel moments of this are an abomination, and Wrath Of Khan is omly my 5th favourite Star Trek film (after 6, 7, 3, and 2009), i'm sure many others have a stronger opinion.

See not knowing the back story of Star Trek. Vulcans are a race of pure logic people, and have superior strength compared to humans. The neck pinch incapacitates that person. (knocks out) Also Klingons are stronger race too. Again, lost about 15% lost not knowing the history.

Sorry to burst your bubble but all the cadets in the first movie that weren't on enterprise are dead.

Those new Star Trek films have been received somewhat poorly by long time fans. Personally, I see them as good films, just not good Star Trek.

Still not as good as Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan.

As a lifelong Trekkie, I hate this movie. They took everything that made Wrath of Khan great, twisted it into an inferior story.

This trilogy certainly gets worse , the first is the only one worth watching
