Looks great, can't wait to see how it looks. Nice to see the 'rare' original art as well. :)

i'm a little annoyed that they didn't sort of pick a design theme for these special editions repackages they're doing. as it standsnow, st1 and st2 dont really mesh cover wise.

That was the original poster art?

I remember seeing a different one at the theater when this film first came out.

That's the British one-sheet. The American one-sheet was the "collage"-type.

Does anyone know if this will have the titles with the home video version that said "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan", or the ORIGINAL THEATRICAL version that said "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan"?

The silver color is OK. It's not bad, but I'm not crazy about it. I would have rather had the cover art taking up all (or close to) the entire front side. I find too much silver here.

Oh well, as long as the transfer and 5.1 track is improved from the original, I'm happy.

I think ST:TMP was supposed to be Gold, this is supposed to be Silver. The next one should be Bronze.
Don't know what they'll do after that.
And I agree. The spines especially are not jiving.
Other than that, the front looks nice!

For the record, I will repeat: I dislike the cover. Not only do I not like it, I think it looks too much like the Fox 5-Star series as well as the SuperBits.

I agree, the cover background sucks! They should've done someting consistent with ST:TMP..but we're talking about Paramount, remember? When was the last time they did anything that made sense?

I recorded the network version of Khan from ABC back in the 80s. That said, I've always found the theatrical version somewhat lacking. Hopefully this version will include the Ensign Preston subplot, as well as some extensions of existing scenes. I sold the original DVD a while ago. I pray that Paramount fixes the glitch from the original disc where William "Tyler Durden" Shatner is inserted into the torpedo firing scene.
