Review of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) by Waldo I — 18 May 2009
After three fairly average movies, the star trek franchise was running low on dilithiam crystals and in dyer need of a re-haul. this coupled with the emergence of a new crew and a certain baldy thesbein manning the enterprise on prime time tv, led to the obvious last voyage for the original crew.
thankfully a modern twist and what looks like a bigger budget helps send them out on a high. it also reminds us why the original is always the best. opting out of the all action romp, and going down the route of dark political/mystery thriller, really makes things feel fresh.
the silly lines and campy comedic moments are replaced with gritty imagery and serious dialogue. in good old trek tradition it carries moral undertones about prejudice and racism. the cast are at there finest since the wrath of khan.
the effects arnt brilliant but over all the undiscovered country is a good film that entertains. wrath of khan is by far the best, this is a close second.
