Review of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) by Tiberio S — 02 Nov 2014

By the time I saw this, I found myself in the skin of what some may call a 'Trekkie,' and I'd already fallen in love with the Trek world and characters. The fact that this was a movie from the 90s starring the original cast was already exciting, the simple idea that we'd see these old space cowboys in the era of modern film.

No doubt the extra half-star compliments this as it is exciting to see Trek characters in the most colorful, technically advanced of their films. Yet so much story and development suffer what seems like last second penciled in ideas to 'throw things off' a bit.

Looking past it all, who can deny that Christopher Plummer (as General Chang) simply being there makes up for a lot? Though Chang is predictable and the final act battle between he and Enterprise is lame, the fact that there is a strong sense of humanity in a Klingon makes for the most compelling character of the sort.

And finally, someone else branches out to the captains chair thanks to Hikaru Sulu and Excelsior... alright these review are becoming Trek talk, time to pull back!
