Editorial Review:
Star Trek V left us nowhere to go but up, and with the return of Star Trek II director Nicholas Meyer, Star Trek VI restored the movie series to its classic blend of space opera, intelligent plotting, and engaging interaction of stalwart heroes and menacing villains. Borrowing its subtitle (and several lines of dialogue) from Shakespeare, the movie finds Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) and his fellow Enterprise crew members on a diplomatic mission to negotiate peace with the revered Klingon Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner). When the high-ranking Klingon and several officers are ruthlessly murdered, blame is placed on Kirk, whose subsequent investigation uncovers an assassination plot masterminded by the nefarious Klingon General Chang (Christopher Plummer) in an effort to disrupt a historic peace summit. As this political plot unfolds, Star Trek VI takes on a sharp-edged tone, with Kirk and Spock confronting their opposing views of diplomacy, and testing their bonds of loyalty when a Vulcan officer is revealed to be a traitor. With a dramatic depth befitting what was to be the final movie mission of the original Star Trek crew, this film took the veteran cast out in respectably high style. With the torch being passed to the crew of Star Trek: The Next Generation, only Kirk, Scotty, and Chekov would return, however briefly, in Star Trek: Generations. --Jeff Shannon
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country [Region 2] Reviews:
Another brilliant Trek story 
2009-11-20 - "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" is....fun. Its also, like Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home, smart, full of intrigue, packed with cool heroes and villians, with great emsemble acting, taut direction and a clever screenplay.
This time around, the Federation discovers their most hated enemy, the Klingons, are facing extinction. They set about wanting to make a peace pact with them, however reluctantly. Captain Kirk, who lost his son, David, to the murderous hand of the Klingons in "Search for Spock" definitely wants nothing to do with his foes. "Let Them Die" he says to Spock. Anyway, after a dinner meeting with Klingon representatives, their chancellor is assassinated, and Kirk and McCoy are framed. From this point on, the film takes on the tone of a detective story, with Spock and the rest of the Enterprise crew racing against time to clear their allies' names and find the true killer before all out war devastates the galaxy. Brilliant stuff, giving you the best of what the Star Trek mythology is all about. See it.
star trek - the discovered dvd 
2009-10-02 - this is a very difficult dvd to find and buy, so when i found what i thought i couldn't, i jumped, bought and viewed. and i might add, was not disapointed. the delivery of the item was solid and 'on the ball'. i didn't expect it to be dressed in an original sleeve so i wasn't suprised when it arived in a plain but durable wrapper. bottom line is that it is a pleasure to buy from a reliable vendor who sends what it says and says what it will send. now, the movie? of course it is good; probably the best of the bunch. to see the original players/actors age with grace with a knock-out story-line. the physical science applied is what will probably be faced when humans reach that final frontier with little left to someone's imagination . when i taught physics in high school ages ago, i used this movie as a go-to for not only entertainment but more for 'this is a real possibility'. like why would i buy an item of so-so quality and enjoyment?
fantastic 
2009-09-14 - One of my all time favorite Star Trek Movies.If U like Star Trek like I do you will NOT be dissapointed in this movie!!!
The voyage home is the best 
2009-09-07 - I liked all three movies but it wasn't until they got to "The search for Spock" that they got the editing right on the Star Trek movies. Very intertaining though.
Decent Ending 
2009-05-15 - As I mentioned earlier, the "Golden Years" of Star Trek were from 1979-1986. The Undiscovered Country is by far the best Trek movie released after 1986. However, the movie does have some faults. Many flaws are exposed when you watch the movie a second. By this I mean that some things simply do not hold up under closer scrutiny. All in all, TUC was a decent way to end the original TOS films.
