(1991) Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

SCIENCE- FICTION.

The best one of all the Star Trek movies made so far and a fine tribute to Gene Roddenbury the creator! The plot has the crew of the federation representing the Earth, after fighting with the Klingons for such a long time, want to come to terms making peace since the Klingon population is depleting and is in need of some uniforcation and are not in the position to doing battles anymore with predictable corruption of course who opposed the idea because they're young and are afraid of change and feel that they should continue to do battle- it is possible that in some actual religions- doing battle is the only exception!

The plot device may be very standard such as the Cold War between Russia and the United States of America except for one difference- this film consists of extremely memorable quotations and dialogue especially from Shakespeare that may be possible to peace talks! Also, Leonard Nimoy as Spock says some of the best dialogue throughout his whole Star Trek career, "We are so old... that we have finally outlived our usefulnesss" somewhare along the lines of that! One of my favorite lines was when the Klingons agreed for a first time dinner from Kirk and crew and they agreed a time and a place- Chekov from the federation remarks "Guess Who's Coming For Dinner" which was reference of a movie about the race barrier gap or indifferences between two grown up people which at the time a black marrying a white girl with both parents somewhat opposed of the idea! I wasn't able to catch it the first ime around, but perhaps on my second and third viewing and by watching "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" starring Spencer Tracy (last film role), Katherine Hepburn and Sidney Poiter also helps as well!

Out of all the televison shows I've seen as well as the Star Trek films, I must say this one consists the most thinking dialogue out of all of them, one of which can be relevent in terms of in real life with race relations and that to me is very hard to do especially as a space film!

4 out of 4.
