  Coming fresh off it's predecessor, it this film did not have to try at all in order to impress, and whether it gave it it's all or not, it is a far superior film in every way, and being in the early 90's, the visuals have clearly begun to become something fantastic! I am certain that the films can be great, knowing that they can dig themselves out of a hole that big, which was left by "The Final Frontier." The art direction is much better, the direction is top notch, the chemistry between the actors has become something very peaceful to watch. I wish this film was a little more exciting, but it was a very impressive return to form for the series!

  So here we are with the sixth and final adventure with the legendary old classic crew and by far the best film of the six in personal opinion. Yes I will say it now, this film is my personal favourite out of all the Trek films including the next gen crew and the recent prequel. Its strange really, up to this point the previous films have been average in visuals and in some cases bland in plot, but this last entry really comes back with a bang. It does feel as if everyone really came together and pushed for the best send off possible for both the fans and the original cast...and boy did they get it right. First up, visuals, what on Titan happened here? all of a sudden this franchise looks delicious. The sets look polished and real with actual depth, costumes maintain the naval militaristic feel as ever but look devilishly sharp, models glide through space with ease and rival some Star Wars work and all technical electrical effects actually appear as if they could be real, hardly any dodgy bluescreen anywhere folks!. The whole film is packed with colour and flare making it an absolute joy to watch, the colour schemes are perfect (I loved the purple coloured shock wave that engulfed the 'Excelsior') with everything looking neat and pinpoint. It really is a complete departure from all the previous films and such a victory for all involved. The plot is outrageously simple I must admit, again with the Klingon's. The Klingon's want peace with 'the Federation' (well with everyone really) after a disaster threatens their homeworld, pfft now they want peace when they need major help eh. Certain factions don't want this, there is an assassination, 'Kirk' is blamed, imprisoned and everyone is at each others throats once again. I think it was a wise move to use the Klingon's as the enemy in this final film. The Klingon's are the classic enemy and what better way to go down in a blaze of glory than kicking some Klingon ass (I think the Russian cold war theories/allegories can be laid to rest now). Of course by the end everyone is supposedly friends and at peace (or on the way to that) which is a bit wussy but I can see what they were aiming for hehe. Talking of Klingon's, who would of thought Chris Plummer would make a brilliant Klingon huh? Some righteous casting there my friends, a sterling choice. Plummer is a Klingon badass in this despite the fact he actually does nothing other than spout Shakespeare...in Klingon. The mark of a great actor there, he merely struts around and throws out the bards work in his pitch perfect speaking voice yet at the same time he looks imposing, threatening and powerful, absolute badass! I loved the little touch with his eyepatch being bolted onto his face, literately bolted into his klingon skull. There really wasn't a foot put wrong here in my opinion, lets not forget about Warner as the Klingon chancellor 'Gorkon'. The man wasn't involved for very long but again he made his presence felt with a great klingon character performance. Just like 'Chang' he looked every bit the complete warrior with his tusk cane and weathered facial hair, he also looked pretty tough and imposing too. Clearly both characters are remembered due to the actors that made them, they both really gave the film a classic 'proper' feel. This final outing really had it all, great space battles, quirky jokes and even a good old fashioned alien filled prison on a snow planet, every sci-fi needs a good 'Mos Eisley cantina' type moment. I loved that whole idea and seeing all the odd aliens (who wouldn't), just a shame it didn't quite look as good as it should of but there are some glorious location shots later on which really sell it. Very much in tone with the first new prequel if you ask me, in fact the prequel borrowed the snow planet idea briefly methinks. An extremely fun film to watch which has all the hallmarks of an epic space opera, the typical good humour we all know and love plus bright vivid visuals that really heighten your enjoyment and add an almost comicbook adaptation feel to the proceedings. A stirring send off with all the team inscribing their signatures across the screen against a space background whilst the classic Star Trek theme plays in the background. It was a beautiful way to go and almost brings a tear to your eye, and I'm not a Trekkie. The final film, the best film and the perfect finale.

  I really wanted to like this last Star Trek movie, it's just not as good as the ones form the 80s, but at least it isn't as boring as the first movie. Overall it's just okay.

  The final Star Trek film to feature all of the original cast is quite a doozy. From the very beginning, the Klingons have always been based on the Soviet Era Russians. This film closely (but in a fictionalized way) parallels history by echoing the fall of the Berlin Wall and the eventual end of the Soviet Union. The regular cast are fine (or more than fine) as always, but it is really obvious that they're all getting really old. After all, this film came out the year that the series celebrated its 25th anniversary. The cast new to the movie are also pretty good, especially a gleefully scenery chewing Christopher Plummer who has a nailed in eye patch and quotes tons of Shakespeare. Like The Voyage Home, there is a pretty good dose of humor, and this is a highly entertaining film, but it's not quite as funny as TVH. Also, I think this may just be the darkest of all of the Trek films. The humor and serious stuff actually blend fairly well, but still, this is a very dark and serious film. Besides having a connection to history, it's also a good murder mystery yarn with some neat and interesting twsits, turns, and developments. I like how it all unfolds. I liked the ending to this one, and thought it was very poignant and well done. One can't help but get a little misty eyed or feel an overwhelming sense of nostalgia during the sign off right before the credits. I think my favorite part though might be all of the chunks of purple Klingon blood floating around in zero-gravity, which would look really cool in 3-D. Anyway, I highly recommend this one. It's an overall satisfying film, and one of my favorites of the series.

  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 Generation Enterprise.

  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.

• Curtis L

  
  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.

  <b>Short Review</b> This has to be one of the best of the original star trek crew films. It's just excellent and so so underated. Everything that a Trek fan like me wants in a a Trek film; decent plot, script up-to scratch and just an all round excellent film. What's so great is brining back to Klingons, Kirk's bitter revials, really sets out for some excellent scenes with the crew of the Enterprise. You can really see the tension between the two camps which makes for a perfect film. I find it difficult to critically rate a Trek film as you might find out from reading reviews of star trek films that I've done. One of my favourite Trek films. Highly recomended. 8/10

  The last Star Trek with the original crew. The Klingon peace one. Unless you are a Trekkie, they are getting old. I'm glad that everyone is talking about retiring in the movie. We seen it before - characters who will not accept their world leaning toward peace. The movie is OK. Nice to see some new faces - Kim Cattrell, Christopher Plummer.

  After over 25 years the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise prepares to come back to the ground in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, In the final film with the original crew a big wig from Klingon is coming to Earth to negotiate piece with the Enterprise being selected for escort duties. Through an unsavory set of circumstances the big wig is killed and the perp is though to be Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner). Star Trek VI is much better than Shatner's vanity project that was part five. The plot is more cohesive, there's better acting (Christopher Plummer plays the main bad Klingon for Christ Sakes!), and the return of Nicholas Meyer (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) as director. The film plays like a mystery, sort of like a weird episode of Matlock with a wrongly accused man on trial and the people trying to figure out whodunnit. The acting is above average for a Star trek film, mainly because Plummer is in this and he is awesome (I also have to point out to Sex and the City fans that the old whore from that show plays a Klingon in this). The thing about Star Trek VI and all of the superior films of this series is that when the threat is low key the film is much better. When it's something huge, such as in I, IV, V it tends to water down the film into a massive pile of goop. The series was designed as social commentary (to a point) and when the films try to pull away from that an compete with Star Wars they tend to fail. The Undiscovered Country is a fitting farewell to the series.

  Some spoilers here ************************************************************* Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" is the final film with the entire original cast. This is also one of the best of the series because we see the Enterprise crew, past their prime, save the universe one more time. As the film opens, we are witness to an ecological disaster. As the starship Excelsior, now under the command of Capt. Sulu (George Takei)is on a survey, they witness the aftermath of the explosion of the Klingon moon called Praxis. Even though Sulu is ready to offer assistance, The Klingons want no help from them. Later, the Enterprise crew is called into a top secret meeting and is apprised of the situation,which is dire (Think Chernoble). Because of the devastation (Which will destroy their ozone within 50 years), the Klingons offer to extend an olive branch with the Federation. In other words, The Klingons and The Federation want a peace treaty. Considering that the Klingon Empire and the Federation have been at each others throats for ages, this doesn't sit well with the parties involved, especially Captain Kirk (William Shatner), who wants nothing to do with the process considering that it was the Klingons who had killed his son (See "Star Trek III: The Search For Spock"). In fact, when Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy), who has been working with the Klingons for the treaty, tells them that they are dying, Kirk viciously says "Let them die!" Ouch. However, he has to follow orders. Soon the crew of the Enterprise meets with Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner), his officer General Chang (Christopher Plummer) and his daughter Azetbur (Rosanna DeSoto). During a dinner in which pretty much everyone is intoxicated with Romulan Ale, there is some negativity among both sides, clearly indicating that the road to peace is going to be a bumpy one. And it is. Later, the Klingon ship is fired upon, seemingly by The Enterprise, and the Chancellor is assassinated, despite the attempts of Kirk and McCoy (DeForest Kelley) to save him. Both Kirk and McCoy are arrested and put on trial. Found guilty, both are sentenced to the ice planet known as Rura Penthe. How bad is it? Judging from Uhura's (Nichelle Nichols) and Scotty's(James Doohan)reaction, it would have been better for Kirk and McCoy to have been executed on the spot. Spock knows that a conspiracy is present. And so, while he is trying to find out the facts, Kirk and McCoy try to stay alive on the penal planet. With time running out before the peace conference starts, the crew of the Enterprise must not also save Kirk and McCoy, but to race to the site of the conference to stop another assassination from taking place, which will destroy any chance of peace. This proves even more difficult when they discover that there is a Klingon Bird of Prey that can fire when cloaked. And that those involved in the conspiracy work on both sides of the coin. What is interesting about the film is that it mirrors the general feelings between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union. Once considered enemies, each side works together for peace, even if both sides are skeptical. We also see the flaws of the crew of the Enterprise: everyone is prejudiced. Chekov (Walter Koenig), during dinner, mentions "unalienable human rights," and is chastised by Azetbur for his "racist" comments. Even Mr. Spock is prejudiced: he's so blinded by the accomplishments of his Vulcan protégé Valeris (Kim Catrall), that he doesn't see how much of a threat she is (He admits this to Kirk later on) until it is almost too late. It is nice to see the crew back in action one last time, and you can't help but get a bit misty eyed (Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek died before it's release, and this film is dedicated to him). A nice way to end the series, but it's hard to say goodbye.

  Probably my favorite of all the Star Trek movies. It's so dark and awesome. The Klingon empire is at a crisis, and the crew of the Enterprise must negotiate a new peace treaty, but someone is plotting to sabotage things. There's a cool Klingon leader assassination; and Kirk and McCoy are implicated. They end up on an icy prison planet, and must escape to prove their innocence - and prevent more tragedy from occurring. It's an awesome Star Trek movie. I liked the zero-gravity assassination with the floating blood globules. The musical score by Cliff Eidelman was edgy and suspenseful. The actors were serious in their roles. There were no campfire songs, mountain climbing or whale-blubber. I was so into this one. The send-off with the cast signatures on the end credits was history-making.

  "To be, or not to be..." A disaster in the Klingon Empire puts the universe on the verge of war and the Enterprise is caught in the middle. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is an adventurous thriller that's full of dramatic tension and mystery. Director Nicholas Meyer returns and brings back a serious, dramatic look and feel to the series. And, in addition to the regular cast, Christopher Plummer, Kurtwood Smith, and Kim Cattrall come aboard and bring a lot of energy to the film. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is a poetic final voyage for the original series films and a compelling sci-fi drama.

  Much better visuals than in The Final Frontier, and a more entertaining storyline. Overall, this was pretty much exactly what I expected - a conventional, normal send off to some great characters. At least it was a better goodbye than Star Trek Nemesis. *gags*

  My favorite of the Star Trek films with the original cast. My ratings and reviews are not fixed in stone, but at this time I see this one as being slightly better than number IV and definitely better than number II. Nicholas Meyer is back at the helm. Leonard Nimoy contributed to the story and was executive producer. The rest of the crew that came together on this film made for a great combination. The Klingons had represented the Russians since the original series in the 60's and the relationship between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire was a metaphor for the cold war. In this story we have parallels to what was happening to the Russian government in the mid to late 1980's. There is an informative special feature on the Special Collector's Edition DVD called The Perils of Peacemaking that spells out how elements of "The Undiscovered Country" plot mirror history. It is good to see George Takei as Sulu as the captain of his own ship. David Warner plays a Klingon chancellor this time who dreams of "The Undiscovered Country," or a peace time between the Federation and the Klingons. Kim Cattrall as the Vulcan Valeris takes Sulu's seat on the Enterprise bridge and plays her part admirably. Christopher Plummer as the Shakespeare spouting, only occasionally Klingon speaking General Chang is a unique creation and Plummer chews the scenes ravenously. The main Enterprise crew is looking to their retirement again when peace talks are suggested between the Federation and the Klingons. Kirk and the Enterprise are assigned as escort and a small rift forms between Kirk and Spock. After the assassination of the Klingon chancellor, Spock must lead the crew in an effort to solve a little mystery about who did it, while Kirk and McCoy are brought before a Klingon court (defended by Michael Dorn as Worf's own grandfather). With the crew digging for clues and delaying replying to the Federation with a bit of assistance from Sulu, Kirk and McCoy must survive in a penal colony. They make a break for it with a very cool character who turns out to be a shape shifter and just like in a couple of the original show's episodes Kirk comes face to face with himself. The crew suspects that a Klingon bird of prey now has the ability to fire its weapons while cloaked. Can they stop this secret weapon and put the clues together in time to stop another assassination attempt? The action, suspense, drama, bit of humor, and special effects are all at the height of what a Star Trek film is meant to be.
