Good start, but then it gets ruined

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Star Trek : The Undiscovered CountryThe 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.

Up to this point in the Star Trek movie series, each film harkened back to a specific aspect of the Star Trek: Original Series television show. "Wrath of Khan" was an action/adventure story, "Search For Spock" pulled at the heartstrings, "Voyage Home" was a comedic romp, and "Final Frontier" was a philosophical endeavor (albeit a failure). In "The Undiscovered Country", however, the Star Trek writers/producers focused on an area that had also been a solid part of the original TV series: politics.Without delving too deeply into plot details, this film uses the Federation/Klingon relationship to almost exactly parallel the U.S/U.S.S.R relationship. This symbiosis is successful in two ways: First, the similarities are not cheesy (like in Rocky IV, which went way over the top in depicting the U.S./Russia relationship). Second, the reason that the similarities do not stray into silliness is the acting of William Shatner as Captain Kirk. Throughout the earlier movies, Kirk's relationship with the Klingons went from mistrust to out and out hatred, as they were involved in the death of his son. Thus, in this film Kirk must also comes to terms with his prejudice, or risk being labelled a "dinosaur" and considered past his prime.If you were disenfranchised by the sub-par Star Trek V, this movie represents a step forward again. It dwells too much on already-covered themes to truly be great but it is watchable and enjoyable.

The Final Frontier is meant to be The Age of Peace.This one is a fitting send-off to the original crew, some of who have aged badly. Even newcomer Kim Cattrall looks chunky. Christopher Plummer is totally annoying as the Shakespeare-quoting Klingon. His "brilliant" prosecution of Kirk and Dr. McCoy is both spellbinding and sleep inducing. Random comments by "Bones" include: "He (Chang) never shuts up" and "What is it with you" (and alien women)? The bloody assassination on The Klington Bird of Prey in zero gravity. Well done! Alien blood is usually red. Right? It's a funny color and their anatomy is different,so the good doctor can't save the Klingon Chancellor. It's all a huge conspiracy plot against peace with The Federation of Planets and the Klingons. (War is highly profitable and pleasurable?) After a long trial and prosecution by Chang, our "boys" end up on a frozen, poisonous penal-colony planet with life at hard labor. The exteriors shot in Alaska "white out" on the small screen and can't be fully appreciated. Kirk meets up with a shapeshifting "sexy beast" alien (Inman), who smokes cigars and then morphs into a big "Wookiee-like" thing. (Kirk shudders!) Enough plot holes to sink a spaceship. The missing anti-grav suits and boots are found way too easily. The future's security is so inept they can't detect a primitive rifle-in-a suitcase? Nice stunt doubles, as the real actors can hardly waddle. Still, a great ending to the first part of the Star-Trek legacy. Star Trek v was unbelievably bad.

Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country is one of my favorite films in the Star Trek series and it is one of the best films in Star Trek.This being the final film to feature the cast of the original Star Trek series Captain Kirk (William Shatner) Mr.Spock (Leonard Nimoy) Dr.McCoy (DeForest Kelley) Scotty (James Doohan) Mr.Chekov (Walter Koenig) Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) also Mark Lenard reprise his role as Sarek Mr.Spock's Father along with Michael Dorn who plays Klingon Defense Attorney Kurtwood Smith as Federation President along with Lt.Valeris (Kim Cattrall) The plot has the classic Who Done it Theme as the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise are send by Starfleet to escort Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner) along with his daughter Azetbur (Rosanna DeSoto) and General Chang (Christopher Plummer) through Federation Space however things go out of hand in a hurry as we learn there is more to this mystery than it realize the plot becomes more a mystery and surprise to say the least. They did a very well balance story that you never could guess what happensThe acting is very strong as well as each cast member gives a well respected performance the cast help tells the story with their characters and they all did a great job.The music in the film is top notch Star Trek has always been known for great music and this film is no different it really helps makes the film famous with each piece of music written to match the story Also I love the final battle close to the climax of the film it has you on the edge of your seat it is one of the best battles of Star Trek and the tension is like riding a roller coaster that you have to watch to believe Star Trek 6 serves as the final film with the original cast and it deserves a lot of respect the cast did a great job with this last movie and it is a great send off to the original crew With great acting, a original story that is tense and plot twist you won't see coming this is your film and for all fans of Star TrekI give Star Trek 6 The Undiscovered Country an 10 out of 10
