Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan Redux - Fan VFX Replacement Showcase

Great edit!! Certainly an experiment... can't say I have ever seen a fanedit with so many VFX changes!

Others have mentioned it already but there 3 loud beeps during playback... I missed the first time code but the other two are 1:32:43 & 1:35:34

I'd definitely recommend this to others and I look forward to more 'experiments' ;)

This was definitely one of the most enjoyable fanedits I've ever watched. The visual and sound editing is mostly seamless and the new VFX are, for the most part, spot-on. That said, it does have a few issues.
For one, I'm not a fan of a few of the more obvious edits, like the Reliant log entry that seems to have been split up solely to wedge in an extra spacedock shot, or the Mutara battle, which feels a bit choppy.
For another, there are several cuts to VFX shots with visible stuttering, and a few points where the audio gives off a blast of noise that appears to be a glitch and not part of the soundtrack.
Finally, a few of the VFX shots don't really match the rest in terms of how "finished" they look, particularly the spacedock interiors.
However, those issues do not detract from the overall fun factor, and I will definitely watch this again.

Wow!! this was by far one of the best fan edits I have seen to Star Trek II! I would highly recommend it to anyone out there!! Way to go Wraith!!!!!!!!!!

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.

For me, this is a "watch once". It is not going to be my go-to version by any means.

However, it was WORTH watching. Go to youtube, you see a million disjointed CGI VFX replacement clips. Wraith has managed it integrate some very intriguing VFX shots into the existing narrative, sometimes replacing conventional FX shots, sometimes adding additional material. The effort is hampered somewhat by the varying quality of the source material, but Wraith sitll manages to pull it all together into a very watchable package.

Will it replace my DC BluRay? No. Was it a fun way to spend two hours? Absolutely.

9.5/10, would recommend.
