Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan Redux - Expanded VFX Replacement Theatrical Cut

Like a lot of films of that era, the VFX were basic and I feel let films like this down. The replacement VFX's fix what was wrong with the original version of this film. The VFX's sit very well next to the live action elements of the film now, delivering a fully immersive film that is superior to the original release.

I spotted a couple of audio issues, that have already been reported by other form members. I do have a technical suggestion for future revisions of this edit, which is to add film grain to some of the VFX shots that are a little too crisp compared to the live action sequences.

A very enjoyable watch and would highly recommend Wraith's edit. Excellent work and thanks for sharing!

Somehow i feel unqualified to write about this one.
First i thought that i havent seen ST2 as much as i should have to really appreciate all the work that went into this Cut.
Than i thought , well, its about fun isnt it ?

And i had fun wactching this and i was upright on my Sofaplex because everything felt right.
The VFX is extremly well done, and all feels still like the film should - beeing made at the time it was.
There is nothing overdone here, no extras that are to visible, no clunky new FX that would stand out.

Seemingless Storytelling with visuals that made it fascinating to watch.

Next up: Directors Cut

EDIT: Of course I clicked on the wrong one, this review is for the director's cut version, not the theatrical.
This was such an enjoyable watch. The redone scenes are edited in wonderfully and the new CGI is well done. It doesn't quite match the effect of the original model shots, but the things the new CGI allowed (more dynamic ship movement, longer, bigger shots, for example) more than make up for it (especially the nebula section!). There are no ridiculous Star Wars Special Edition additions or anything like that. Everything is done subtly to serve the story.
I noticed some errors in my first viewing. Certainly not big issues and I'm sure Wraith and the creators are already aware of them. At 52:38 the visuals stutter for a moment. At 1:21:20 and at 1:32:43 there is a loud single beep sound. At 1:35:33 the torpedo sound effect is possibly too loud? Other than that the sound is flawless, especially the music.
This version will now be my go-to for future re-watches.

A superb fan edit of an already classic movie that takes it a notch higher. I can't really recommend it enough just as I can't thank Wraith enough for doing it. The new VFX sequences are extremely inventive and yet appropriate to the era the film was made. I'm truly happy this fanedit exists for it gives an awesome story, the beautiful look it should have always have had.

I am AMAZED by this edit by Wraith. Not because it's the general 'cut or add this' approach, but rather taking a near perfect movie and bringing its effects up to the same level without going overboard. I loved every moment of the movie more because it now feels like there was a bit more 'polish' with the special effects. Nothing egregious or completely overhauled. But more like taking a DVD quality movie and cleanly upgrading it to 8K!!

FANTASTIC work here, friend. Thanks for the effort. And I can't wait to see you give some other underserved FX movies the same Wraith improved treatment!
