Yes. I can't believe I forgot it given it is my top five list of best science fiction movies. Current scriptwriters could take a lesson from it. Actually going back into TOS and using the villain showed love and respect for the original. It doesn't hurt you have the underappreciated Ricardo Montalbán chewing scenery at his finest. It is truly amazing that Kirk and Khan never meet in the movie. Wonderful editing and pacing.

So what the hell were they doing with the Kelvin timeline movies?
