Review of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) by Filipeneto — 20 Aug 2018

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.
