An absolutely fantastic sendoff to the original crew. Great story, great performances and top notch effects (for the time.) ST6 more or less embodies everything that the ST franchise is about.

One of my favorites of the series, I still enjoying watching this one over and over as it shows the original Enterprise at its finest (not taking the prequel series Enterprise into consideration.)… Expand

A wonderful movie with exiting events and a great story. It didn't have a low tempo, as the previous movie (Star Trek V) had, which made it very worth to see, and I really enjoyed it!

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is a great movie and I recommend it for everyone, even though the special effect are a little old and it could have had more unique things that could have enlarged the movie even more, but it got a great story!

The inspiration for the story was the collapse of the Soviet Union that resulted in the end of the cold war and the Chernobyl disaster. This was transferred well to the Star Trek universe and the relationship of the Federation and Klingon Empire. Then there is the good performance of all characters. The cast ended the(ir) era with their best performance tied with Wrath of Khan. Each one is well integrated into the story. Kirk, Spock and McCoy especially deliver a great performance. With General Chang and Lieutenant Valeris we got two new good characters. Both of hem are a solid addition to the movie. The story is engaging at all times and the plot twists are working really well. Watch this without spoilers as it improves the experience by far (and it is a crime to spoil these)! While the tone of the movie is more serious they added really good humor. It also explores philosophical themes that I want to point out but noticed that it will lead to much into spoiler territory. It leads however to changes and development of characters that feel natural. It want to praise what they did here. It is a game changer for the lore, history and it is a fitting transition to the next generation. Overall this is a worthy final movie with a fine mixture of good storytelling, well integrated characters and philosophy. Over the years it got to Wrath of Khan greatness for me and I will say it is a must watch recommendation even for none Star Trek fans as the themes of the movie are universally enjoyable.Bonus knowledge: Did you know that many physicist were also writing science fiction books? They used of cause pseudonyms to avoid troubles. Because of this there are many scientific accurate technologies, terms and ideas in science fiction. Michio Kaku wrote the book “The Physics of the Impossible” where he analyzed what science fiction technologies are possible in real life. There are many surprises because nearly everything is theoretically possible but far out of our reach (Like asking cave man to build a space station in Plutos orbit!)… Expand

The Undiscovered Country is a great way to send off the original series, but is it the best movie? No. The Wrath of Khan still holds that title.

No. The Wrath of Khan still holds that title. This is a very interesting Star Trek film because it has one of the more interesting plots. Peace with the Klingons. It allows the film to delve into topics like prejudice and racism. It has a great villain with an interesting twist. Overall it's one of the better Star Trek films, the part of the movie that I don't care for though is when they're at that Klingon prison. Other than that it's one of the best Star Trek movies.

Star Trek : The Undiscovered Country

The politics helps create a strong energy among the characters in here but unfortunately it isn't as convoluted or thought-provoking as the writers think and neither does it offer anything creative on any other bits of the feature, after the curtain drops, the audience feels cheated with a feeling of been-here-done-that routine. It doesn't even live up to its sci-fi genre but is more mythical and typical revenge based on melodrama, that implants a misconception of the writers which gets them to take their fanatics for granted. Nicholas Meyer is definitely an improvement on terms of the execution of franchise but frankly that's not saying a lot considering what we have been offered over the years. The performance is quite effective in here since the actors were revisiting their roles for the last time, they did invest their heart into it which is clearly visible. It is short on technical aspects like visual effects, sound department, make-up design, editing and cinematography. Star Trek : The Undiscovered Country feels already discovered and gotten over it, for the writers spend way too much time on weaving an emotional conflict for being under enormous amount of pressure in order to offer a better farewell for the beloved characters.… Expand

But what sets the public on the brink is that this is, truly, the last film of the franchise to bring the whole original cast. The years go by... even in the 23rd century. So it all revolves around the usual three main actors: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley were superb throughout the film and, thus, had the opportunity to close, in the best way, this part of their career (certainly the one that most contributed to make them famous and successful). The remaining cast, however, equaled the good performance of the three protagonists. The script, I confess, is a bit confusing, leaves a little to be desired and even makes us feel a bit sorry for the Klingons. The technical details of the film are roughly the same as the previous films, in particular with regard to special effects, but there are already a number of advanced and modern features that previous films did not have. The cinematography is also clearer, it seemed to me less misty than in older films. It's not a memorable movie, at all, but it's worth watching.… Expand

After the high of The Wrath of Kahn and the middling films in between, this is Star Trek back on form. Excellent performances by the original cast in their mostly last voyage together. A great send-off!

Have you ever seen a movie where the conclusion was obvious from the start? It is this movie. Everyone is aware that the Federation were the Americans and the Clingons were the Soviets. They made the decision to put a stop to the Trek War, inHave you ever seen a movie where the conclusion was obvious from the start? It is this movie. Everyone is aware that the Federation were the Americans and the Clingons were the Soviets. They made the decision to put a stop to the Trek War, in which the walls came falling down, with the end of the Cold War. The major shocker at the end is completely predictable. Shatner's fight at the Cligons prison is what keeps the movie from failing. Final verdict: entertaining, but more of the same. 6/10 Will Star Trek ever end like other shows because it keeps reinventing itself in new movies and television episodes.… Expand
