'Star Trek: La ira de Khan', semilla espacial de venganza

Pablo Muñoz

El Enterprise hace frente a una inesperada amenaza: el peligroso humano genéticamente mejorado Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalbán) quiere destruir a la tripulación que lideran el Capitán Kirk (William Shatner) y su noble y leal amigo, Spock (Leonard Nimoy).

Susan Sontag deja escrito en sus diarios en pleno 1964: "ciencia ficción: mitología popular contemporánea sobre lo impersonal". El sueño impersonal del futuro de Gene Roddenberry era, desde luego, un seño paleo-liberal, típico de la era Kennedy: alejado de la tensión actual, su tripulación exploraba y era bondadosa y sus peligros, escasos, pero lidiaban con razas más beligerantes, aunque no se trataba de guerras épicas en las que se recreaba fantasía bélica de tipo alguno. Era también la imaginación de otra época, siempre se resuelve el imaginario mirando hacia atrás, comprendiendo qué imagina el poder o la cultura que generó ese poder concreto.

Tras la decepcionante primera entrega de sus versiones cinematográficas, dirigida en 1979 por Robert Wise, llega una película que realmente reinterpreta el legado de la serie de Gene Roddenberry en una clave bastante dramatúrgica: lo interesante de la serie no era la imaginación sobre lo impersonal sino conflictos morales sobre emoción, raza e inteligencia. Esto lo entendieron muy bien Ronald D. Moore y los que hicieron la llamada "Nueva Generación" (Star Trek: The Next Generation, 1987-1994) al comprender que el androide Data era el gran hallazgo de toda la tripulación.

Ciertamente, la imaginación negativa de la que hablaba Sontag está presente: el dictador Khan puede convertir los desiertos en junglas tropicales. Pero a Nicholas Meyer no le parece este un asunto de mayor relevancia, por eso centra todo su conflicto en espacios opresivos, lo que da para una película trepidante y a la vez claustrofóbica, en el fondo una gran película de submarinos de los sesenta, en la que vemos, de nuevo, el bromance más famoso de la historia llegar a un gran puerto.

Sí, es cierto que la idea de "Génesis" y del poder de Khan hubiera dado para una película hermosa, lírica y reflexiva de ciencia ficción pero si aquí importa la tradicional amistad y el sacrificio pues bienvenida sean. Los diálogos de Nicholas Meyer son muy inspirados: los dos hombres se respetan con nobleza, se admiran, y cuando Nimoy y Shatner, hacia el final de la película, se despiden, vemos honor y palabras muy hondas entre ellos.

Por su parte, Ricardo Montalbán hace lo suyo y lo hace muy bien: está furioso, es un villano de opereta y, con un traje que sobrepasa cualquier noble adjetivación, su interpretación es absolutamente ruda y seria, lo cual hace, lógicamente, que sea tremendamente divertida, poderosa y que dote de entidad cada una de las escenas que habita con gracejo y poderío. Me hubiera gustado ver más cosas de este Khan Noonien Singh, dictador espacial cuya imaginería, comenta Dave Kehr, parece saca de la Tierra Baldía de Eliot, pero no pudo ser.

Por otra parte, de las muchas y largas versiones cinematográficas de Star Trek, esta la juzgo la mejor junto a la versión, ya en un gran presupuesto y en un contexto cultural e industrial bien distinto, de JJ Abrams. Pero esta subestimada pieza de thriller submarino en clave espacial bien merece una revisión, al menos su juego de tensiones se ha perdido, quizás, en el inevitable estruendo y ruido de un género que está olvidando con facilidad pasmosa el grato poder de sus notas más intimistas.

El reparto (Shatner, Nimoy, Montalbán, los también habituales DeForest Kelley, George Takei y Walter Koenig) está servicial, convincente y Kristie Alley funciona como secundaria nueva. Pese a la previa aparición de Khan en la serie, en el episodio 'Space Seed', la película puede verse sin problemas como obra independiente. Una sorprendente presencia estelar en la película es James Horner, con sus famosas notas ya apuntadas en muchos de sus temas y un estupendo e inolvidable score.

Sinopsis [ ]

En 2285 el Almirante James T. Kirk está a cargo de la Academia de la Flota Estelar , entrenando a los nuevos cadetes. Entre ellos está Saavik , una promisoria joven vulcana protegida de Spock , que acaba de fallar la prueba Kobayashi Maru -un escenario imposible de superar-. Un sólo cadete superó esa prueba, el propio Kirk. Lo que ella no sabe es que todo oficial debe enfrentarse alguna vez a una prueba insuperable.

En la estación espacial Regula I , la Dra. Carol Marcus -una ex-amante de Kirk- y su hijo David , completan la simulación del proyecto Génesis , destinado a generar vida donde existe materia inerte. Pero que también podría utilizarse como un arma de destrucción masiva.

Por órdenes del alto mando de la Flota -pese a las recomendaciones de la Dra. Marcus- el USS Reliant comandado por el Cap. Clark Terrell y Pavel Chekov como tripulante, busca un planeta sin vida para realizar las pruebas de campo del proyecto Génesis. El candidato es Ceti Alpha VI .

El Reliant descubre que Ceti Alpha VI no está deshabitado... demasiado tarde. La nave es abordada por los súbditos de Khan Noonien Singh , un humano genéticamente mejorado quien fue tirano durante las Guerras Eugénicas en la Tierra y condenado a vivir en ese inhóspito planeta en 2267 por -entonces Capitán- Kirk .

Al mando de la nave de la Federación, Khan está dispuesto a todo para llevar a cabo su venganza contra James T. Kirk.

• Trivia In the Blu-ray special feature "The Captain's Log", Ricardo Montalban says that once he committed to this film, he realized that he had trouble getting back into the character Khan. After years of playing Mr. Roarke on Fantasy Island (1977) , he found that he was "stuck" in that character. He requested a tape of Space Seed (1967) from Paramount Studios, and proceeded to watch it repeatedly. By the third or fourth watching, he had recaptured the essence of Khan's character.
• Goofs Chekov and Khan recall having met each other. Although Chekov was not a bridge officer when Khan came on the Enterprise in Space Seed (1967) , it should be remembered that when Khan first took over Enterprise, he started with the engineering deck. Chekov was engineering ensign at the time, and mounted resistance against Khan, according to the movie's novelization. Surprisingly, Sulu was also absent from Space Seed, a point which no one ever brings up.

Kirk : We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet it should be noted that in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human.

• Crazy credits After the opening credits: "In the 23rd century..."
• Expanded conversation between Kirk and McCoy in Kirk's apartment about his birthday gift, the glasses. Also, McCoy now says "For most patients your age, I'd usually administer Retinax Five." This is an alternate take, since in the theatrical version, he says "recommend" instead of "administer" (Seen in ABC-TV version).
• Conversation between Kirk and Midshipman Preston in the Enterprise's engine room, with Scotty revealing that Preston is his nephew. Also, the take at the scene's ending with Kirk addressing Scotty and McCoy asking "Admiral, what about the rest of the inspection?" is different from the one seen in the theatrical version. Kirk's dialogue is also slightly different (Seen in ABC-TV version).
• The scene where Chekov informs Dr. Marcus and her team about their new orders via compic has been expanded. Carol Marcus now asks "Who gave the order", and the mind controlled Chekov dances around the answer a little before David says, "Pin him down, mother." (Seen in ABC-TV version).
• The scene where the scientists at Regula One argue about Starfleet Command's order is a different take, and has been expanded in the ending to show Carol Marcus ordering everyone to pack their things up so they can depart before the Reliant arrives (Seen in ABC-TV version).
• McCoy and Spock's argument about Genesis in Kirk's cabin has been slightly expanded. They discuss what might happen if Genesis fell into the wrong hands, and whose hands are the right ones. Kirk attempts to break the two up, but Spock cuts him off with a comeback to McCoy (Seen in ABC-TV version).
• Preston's death in Sickbay has been expanded. Preston now says "Aye" and dies in close-up (instead of in the medium shot with Preston's back to the camera and the others visible around the table seen in the theatrical version) Scotty asks why Khan wants revenge. McCoy's line, "I'm sorry, Scotty" now comes in the middle of the scene, instead of in the ending. After Spock informs Kirk via intercom that impulse power is restored, McCoy and Kirk speak a little longer, and Kirk says they only survived because he knew something Khan didn't about starships (Seen in ABC-TV version).
• An added shot of Kirk, Spock and Saavik climbing a ladder between decks has been added, in which Kirk says "That young man, he's my son," and Spock replies, "Fascinating." Also, the music in the scene has been looped to account for this added shot, but it loops at an earlier point than in the ABC-TV version. This makes the music flow better, instead of repeating the same bit of music twice in succession. For the 2016 Director's Cut Blu-Ray edition, the shot is included but the dialogue is omitted.
• An extension occurs as the Enterprise approaches the Mutara Nebula. Saavik wonders if the Reliant will follow them in, and Spock states that he must remember to teach her about the human ego. The music is looped at a different point than in the ABC-TV version to accommodate this extension, and it is thus much less distracting.

• When Spock and Saavik converse early in the film, what (modern earth) language do they actually speak?
• Why is the actor Judson Scott, who played a substantial role as Joachim in this film, not listed in the closing credits?
• How did Khan and crew actually take over the Reliant? One minute they're shoving eels down Chekov and Terrell's ears - the next they're on the bridge of the Reliant sporting trophy uniforms and in command of the ship.

Star trek ii: the wrath of khan.

Directed by Nicholas Meyer

At the end of the universe lies the beginning of vengeance.

Admiral James T. Kirk is feeling old; the prospect of accompanying his old ship the Enterprise on a two week cadet cruise is not making him feel any younger. But the training cruise becomes a life or death struggle when Khan escapes from years of exile and captures the power of creation itself.

Review by Branson Reese 5

Everybody's dressed so well in this one. It's winter on the Enterprise.

It's very funny that the conventional wisdom is that Shatner can't act. He can. He just acts in a way that makes boring people feel embarrassed. Good.

Review by Will Menaker ★★★★ 11

The one that takes place in San Francisco.

The best Star Trek movie, even Shatner is genuinely moving at the end of this one. I'd like to make special acknowledgment of the amazing original score by James Horner and how beautiful the special effects look, especially during the thrilling climax where the Enterprise and Reliant battle in the nebula. Ricardo Montalbán is so sick as Khan, A+ ham acting, riffing on Moby Dick "He tasks me! I'll chase him round the moons of Nibia and round perdition's flames" and generally displaying a masterclass in swag. The Seti Alpha 5 earwig scene scared the shit out of me when I was kid. Wonderful film.

Review by Kelebek 🦇 on break! ★★★★★ 2

I hate Star Trek. What the fuck is "You are my superior officer. You are also my friend. I have been, and always shall be yours"?? Bitch I'm gonna cry my eyes out.

Review by David Sims ★★★★★ 8

'round perdition's flames

Review by matt lynch ★★★★½

A near-perfect naval adventure movie.

Review by Matt Singer ★★★★

Thought experiment: How would our (already quite high) opinion of this movie — and especially its ending — change if it was the final Star Trek movie? Or if the franchise had carried on without Nimoy and Spock remained dead?

Review by Naughty aka Juli Norwood ★★★★★ 19

Felt like I was visiting an old friend! The humor, banter and squabbles amongst the gang on Star Trek was in full swing and filled me with much delight!

Khan's (Ricardo Montalban) breasteses were to say the very least way too distracting!

Capt Kirk was to Khan what Moby Dick was to Captain Ahab!

The SPOCKtaneous heroic actions taken by Mr. Spock gave me heart palpitations! The speed of which rivaled Enterprises Warp 8!

I recall the 1st time I saw the grand finale I was quite upset and thought to myself NO! NO! NO! They can't do that!

Soon the they can't do that turned into Yes they can do that and it left my eyeball's drowning in an ocean of tears!

Review by Jamelle Bouie ★★★★ 1

“He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him! I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round perdition's flames before I give him up!”

Review by SilentDawn ★★★★ 4

A tale of performance, illusions, veils, trickery. Just as in Brian De Palma's Mission: Impossible , the opening of Nicholas Meyer's Star Trek installment is a magic trick on the audience but serious business for our characters; an act designed for confidence, productivity, and success in the great unknown. Captain Kirk enters into the scene shot against creamy rays of light, doors opening as gateways. He's a film director in the process of evaluation, watching and searching for opportunity. A great performance is more than a highlight in Star Trek, it becomes the seed of greatness, a realm of shows and simulations translating into genuine progress. But we do not see forward motion in Star Trek II: The Wrath of…

Review by Mr. DuLac ★★★★½ 9

KHAAANNNN! -Kirk

The film that everyone wanted Star Trek: The Motion Picture to be. Even though the first film was met mostly with disappointment by critics and fans it still managed to pull in just enough money to warrant a sequel. A sequel with a considerable smaller budget mind you, but a sequel none the less. This, along with a few other elements that should have effected the project negatively, inadvertently created not only the best possible Star Trek film for the time, but possibly the best Star Trek film ever.

The smaller budget also pushed out Gene Roddenberry from the production team to a symbolic credit as Executive Consultant because his scripts simply demanded bigger budgets. Another problem was…

Review by Alan Sepinwall ★★★★½ 2

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

This remains easily the best film in the franchise, and arguably the only one that's great in its own right rather than "great for a Star Trek movie." And even then, I'm not sure how well it would play to a Trek newbie, since so much of its power and themes come from Kirk and Spock being older, and the ways that time has changed them both. Middle age is a nightmare for Kirk. His body is betraying him (the dreaded reading glasses), and he takes no pleasure in the rank of an admiral if a starship doesn't come with it. (His itchiness to return to action was one of the smarter things that Star Trek: The Motion Picture did.)…

Review by cait ★★★★★ 3

can’t believe william shatner has the audacity to constantly tweet about kirk being straight when he spends literally every second of this film looking at spock like they’re soulmates... running around his his little heeled boots while spock says stuff like ‘i have been and always shall be yours...’ mister shatner they’re in LOVE!!! whats not clicking
