"II" wasn't part of the title when the film was initially released.
One of the film's advertising tag-lines was: "At the end of the universe lies the beginning of vengeance."
Paramount consulted focus groups before beginning production, in order to test audience reaction to the film's story -- especially its unexpected ending, which they worried might upset longtime fans of the series.

Editorial Reviews
"...A very satisfying space adventure....Bound to captivate 'Trek' fans and with premiere special effects to attract other space [picture] enthusiasts..."
Variety - Lor. (05/26/1982)
"...A sequel that's worth its salt....On its own simple terms, those of pure escapism, it certainly succeeds."

"...The best of the TREK flicks..."
Entertainment Weekly - Marc Bernardin (08/16/2002)
