Everyone who cares probably already read it, but just in case not: https://ew.com/article/2016/05/06/star- ... an-geekly/

The suggestion of it being a submarine movie was so obvious I'm ashamed (among other things) of never having actually put two and two together. But yes.

I'm amazed at the filmmaking analysis in that. The writer is a GOOD JOURNO and the internet needs more of him.

I have not yet read the article, but even I realized years ago that Wrath of Khan could have been plain fiction instead of science fiction, if you had the two of them on submarines and the Genesis Device being a nuclear weapon, and "warp drive" be full engine power.
Given the general rise in expenses and fall in the typical standard of living, the future ain't what it used to be.

They did a reworking of The Enemy Below on TOS at one point. I guess they could do a Master And Commander Star Trek movie if they wanted to. In a way they mostly are
