Critic Reviews

  • Variety Staff, Variety

    Weighed down by a midsection even flabbier than the long-in-the-tooth cast, director Nicholas Meyer still delivers enough of what Trek auds hunger for to justify the trek to the local multiplex.

  • Janet Maslin, New York Times

    The principals' enthusiasm for their material has never seemed to fade. If anything, that enthusiasm grows more appealingly nutty with time.

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    Director/coscripter Nicholas Meyer moves this vehicle efficiently. He employs some tremendous visuals.

  • Hal Hinson, Washington Post

    If, indeed, Star Trek VI turns out to be the last of the series, it couldn't have made a more felicitous or more satisfying exit.

  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews

    For a movie that begins with such promise, The Undiscovered Country ends with a whimper.

    The final chapter of The Original Series films is an excellent farewell for Captain Kirk and his crew, concluding their long journey with a great political mystery plot that cleverly parallels the end of the Cold War, whilst embracing the future that bears new adventures for the Next… More

    The last Star Trek film with the complete original line up isn?t the best of send offs but its subject matter is probably the most original and fitting with the universal, multicultural and ?everyone?s welcome? feel of the cult following.

    These last couple of movies were basically glorified episodes of a tv show. The middle movies were really fun, but this one was simply okay. A farewell movie to the cast for the most part. I like how Star Trek uses the same actors over and over but put them in different make up.
