Review of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

A good movie

Following the abysmal 5th entry, we have once again and for the last time, the original crew and, I must say, it is so far my favorite Star Trek flick. Indeed, at last, you have some decent special effects, still nothing mind-blowing though but compared to the cheesy stuff they gave you in all the previous movies, it was way better and I also enjoyed all the weird looking aliens. Furthermore, it was the best story so far, it was really entertaining and finally, the Klingons had a central part. I never understood why in the previous movies the Klingons always showed up in a very small amount. Furthermore, the original cast was there including a few guests (Kim Cattrall, Kurtwood Smith, Christopher Plummer, Iman, Christian Slater) and I thought Plummer was pretty awesome, as usual, but I wasn't so sure of Kim Cattrall as a Vulcan. Maybe it is too bad they didn't develop more the whole concept concerning the Klingons needing help when they are in fact the archenemy. Still, it was an entertaining flick and a great farewell for this mighty crew, and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

Glad you enjoyed The Undiscovered Country so much - along with Wrath Of Khan I think it has the best story of all the movies - Kirk's struggle with finding he has to make peace with the Klingons had a not to subtle end of the cold war subtext and I agree that Christopher Plummer's performance was excellent - the second best Villain in the series after Khan, although Malcolm McDowell in Generations is pretty good too - I will be looking forward to reading your thoughts on that one :)
