This film is the sixth film of the franchise and revolves around an attempt of peace between the Klingon and the Federation due to a serious danger that threatens that hostile empire. 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.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is directed by Nicholas Meyer. The film stars William Shatner, Christopher Plummer, David Warner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelly, Nichelle Nichols, James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, Brock Peters, Iman and Kim Cattrall.This final big screen adventure for the original crew is a fitting end. This film is a good blend of action, adventure, intrigue and comedy.The Federation and The Klingon Empire are tentatively beginning to make peace with one another. There are some within Starfleet who don't trust the Klingons, there are also Klingons who don't want to make peace. Kirk(William Shatner) and his crew are sent to negotiate with Klingon Chancellor Gorkon(David Warner). Joining the crew as helmsman(Sulu has now been promoted to Captain)is Vulcan Lt. Valeris(Kim Cattrall).The Chancellor's ship is fired upon and Federation personal beam aboard and assassinate the Chancellor. Kirk and McCoy(DeForest Kelley) beam aboard and try and help, but they are charged with his murder and sent to a Klingon penal colony. The crew must try and uncover the identity of the real assassins and rescue Kirk and McCoy.They must also deal with a villainous Klingon General called Chang(Christopher Plummer).The cast are all superb and the film shows that to achieve peace enemies must try and trust each other before there can be even a hope of peace. Gorkon knows the negotiations won't be easy, but he is willing to try despite that. Kirk is angry and distrustful due to what happened to his son David, but he soon learns that he must set aside his hate so there can be a better future.There would be more big screen adventures with Captain Picard and his crew, but this is the last time we see the original crew all together. That final scene on the bridge is very touching.

The Star Trek series has had its fair share of ups and downs with the previous 5 films, but luckily 'The Undiscovered Country' rights some of the wrongs of past entries all while presenting a fitting finale to the original crew's story. The film sees the return of the entire original Enterprise crew for one last ride. Much like the previous 5 films, it developed its own distinct story. Instead of saving wales, the crew were thrust into a mystery surrounding the death of the Klingon leader. The mystery behind why Kirk and Bones were charged with his murder is really what I appreciated most about the film. Instead of a largely comedic take or a space bound CGI fest, it was grounded with real mystery leaving the enterprise crew with one last epic task.Now the mystery doesn't necessarily last all that long if you realize how the film set up the story, but that also doesn't take away from the execution. As cheesy as the last 15 minutes are, it's hard not to feel a rush of emotion and a great sense of finality. I also appreciated how they took the Klingon side of things and brought it full circle as Kirk's regret and anger towards his son's death definitely plays a role.Even amongst the heavy mystery, we do get some great space action with improved visuals the 3rd act. As much as I think there have been much better entries in the series, The Undiscovered Country is about as fitting of a send-off for Shatner and crew as any Trek fan could have asked for. With an added intelligent script with important themes explored within the context of an epic conclusion, there's more than enough good material for fans and non-fans alike.+Satisfying conclusion+Mystery centric+Involvement of the Klingons-Cheesy-Some clumsy elements7.2/10

Not awful, just pedestrian. It was simply a longer talky TV episode - at least that was how it felt. William Shatner was just the same as ever -how could he be any different? The most convincing of all is the ever-reliable Leonard Nimoy. Most of the sets looked cheap and nasty, particularly the rocky caves that Bones, Kirk and Iman crawled through. The creatures and costumes were far from convincing and the makeup of some of the characters was amateur to say the least. it was 1991 when released so probably could not have benefited from the use of CGI then but overall the effects were pathetic. Action sequences needed better direction and execution and would the have involved the viewer. The new Star Trek movies were much better in execution, action and storyline and benefited from actors who could really carry their parts - I have affection for the classic ST series and some of the movies but this one was only just about watchable.
