Did the Wrath of Khan have any CGI? The only scenes I remember are the jarringly bad computer displays at various points on the Enterprise. If I recall correctly, the rest of the movie used traditional VFX: models, compositing, etc. I personally find the battle scenes in that movie-- particularly the nebula scene-- to be beautiful and one of the space battle scenes ever. Despite what others think, I also think that the first Star Trek movie is both a technical and narrative masterpiece, so YMMV.




The Genesis effect sequence was completely CGI.

Thanks, somehow I forgot about that scene. Pretty great by 1982 standards… a little lame by modern standards, although I could imagine that this is exactly the kind of snazzy but low-res simulation a scientist of the future might generate.
