Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

merelyaninnuendo Star Trek : The Undiscovered CountryThe politics helps create a strong energy among the characters in here but unfortunately it isn't as convoluted or thought-provoking as the writers think and neither does it offer anything creative on any other bits of the feature, after the curtain drops, the audience feels cheated with a feeling of been-here-done-that routine. It doesn't even live up to its sci-fi genre but is more mythical and typical revenge based on melodrama, that implants a misconception of the writers which gets them to take their fanatics for granted. Nicholas Meyer is definitely an improvement on terms of the execution of franchise but frankly that's not saying a lot considering what we have been offered over the years. The performance is quite effective in here since the actors were revisiting their roles for the last time, they did invest their heart into it which is clearly visible. It is short on technical aspects like visual effects, sound department, make-up design, editing and cinematography. Star Trek : The Undiscovered Country feels already discovered and gotten over it, for the writers spend way too much time on weaving an emotional conflict for being under enormous amount of pressure in order to offer a better farewell for the beloved characters.

InCole In short, this film gets everything right. Music, acting, effects and pacing/editing.It is well written and has the usual cheesy moments we would hope for from the originals series but also serious moments and even exciting action moments.The ending sequence literally had me at the edge of my chair which is quite impressive for a 1991 film being watched in 2017. It is hard for me to pick the best original series film but this will definitely be among the list. Along with Wrath of Khan and Search for Spock. But each are great in their own way.It kind of brought tears to my eyes in the end because you can tell the staff were very emotional about this being their last time to be in Star Trek and that emotion definitely came through on screen.Also I have to mention, a big shout out to Christopher Plummer for his stellar performance in this film. It just would not have been the same without him!

zkonedog 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.

RealLiveClaude 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 !
