Very disappointing...
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Up to this point in the Star Trek movie series, each film harkened back to a specific aspect of the Star Trek: Original Series television show. "Wrath of Khan" was an action/adventure story, "Search For Spock" pulled at the heartstrings, "Voyage Home" was a comedic romp, and "Final Frontier" was a philosophical endeavor (albeit a failure). In "The Undiscovered Country", however, the Star Trek writers/producers focused on an area that had also been a solid part of the original TV series: politics.Without delving too deeply into plot details, this film uses the Federation/Klingon relationship to almost exactly parallel the U.S/U.S.S.R relationship. This symbiosis is successful in two ways: First, the similarities are not cheesy (like in Rocky IV, which went way over the top in depicting the U.S./Russia relationship). Second, the reason that the similarities do not stray into silliness is the acting of William Shatner as Captain Kirk. Throughout the earlier movies, Kirk's relationship with the Klingons went from mistrust to out and out hatred, as they were involved in the death of his son. Thus, in this film Kirk must also comes to terms with his prejudice, or risk being labelled a "dinosaur" and considered past his prime.If you were disenfranchised by the sub-par Star Trek V, this movie represents a step forward again. It dwells too much on already-covered themes to truly be great but it is watchable and enjoyable.
The last flick with the original crew and for me the best one. There's suspense all over the flick and it never had a boring moment. But the most interesting thing is the fact that the comedy was left out an the characters and away from the parodies.Somehow if I compare it with part V the whole crew looks younger. But it was the final call for the whole crew. And they would be honored in the beginning of the flick but of course things go wrong when Kirk and Bones are taken in prison. From there on all is top notch. A must see for all Trekkies and non Trekkies. Great story, perfect acting, stunning effects.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
The Star Trek series has had its fair share of ups and downs with the previous 5 films, but luckily 'The Undiscovered Country' rights some of the wrongs of past entries all while presenting a fitting finale to the original crew's story. The film sees the return of the entire original Enterprise crew for one last ride. Much like the previous 5 films, it developed its own distinct story. Instead of saving wales, the crew were thrust into a mystery surrounding the death of the Klingon leader. The mystery behind why Kirk and Bones were charged with his murder is really what I appreciated most about the film. Instead of a largely comedic take or a space bound CGI fest, it was grounded with real mystery leaving the enterprise crew with one last epic task.Now the mystery doesn't necessarily last all that long if you realize how the film set up the story, but that also doesn't take away from the execution. As cheesy as the last 15 minutes are, it's hard not to feel a rush of emotion and a great sense of finality. I also appreciated how they took the Klingon side of things and brought it full circle as Kirk's regret and anger towards his son's death definitely plays a role.Even amongst the heavy mystery, we do get some great space action with improved visuals the 3rd act. As much as I think there have been much better entries in the series, The Undiscovered Country is about as fitting of a send-off for Shatner and crew as any Trek fan could have asked for. With an added intelligent script with important themes explored within the context of an epic conclusion, there's more than enough good material for fans and non-fans alike.+Satisfying conclusion+Mystery centric+Involvement of the Klingons-Cheesy-Some clumsy elements7.2/10
At least the original crew of the USS Enterprise gets a finale worth of all the adventures lived within 25 years.Forgetting the "5th movie" failure, at least a story which holds, a plot worthy of "Sherlock Holmes meets Shakespeare" with a bit of a James Bond twist.Being framed for an incident created by a "double-agent" on board and opponents to Klingon-Federation peace, Kirk and McCoy try to escape a Klingon penal colony while Spock on board the Enterprise finds pieces of a puzzle that can help innocent the Captain, wrongly accused of killing the Klingon Chancellor.Great acting and surprisingly some actors which we never knew they would play in Star Trek (watch out for "Christian Slater" in a minor role...) Thanks for all the adventures you have brought to us, Enterprise crew. Live long and Prosper !
