Weighed down by a midsection even flabbier than the long-in-the-tooth cast, director Nicholas Meyer still delivers enough of what Trek auds hunger for to justify the trek to the local multiplex.

The principals' enthusiasm for their material has never seemed to fade. If anything, that enthusiasm grows more appealingly nutty with time.

If, indeed, Star Trek VI turns out to be the last of the series, it couldn't have made a more felicitous or more satisfying exit.

For a movie that begins with such promise, The Undiscovered Country ends with a whimper.

Why is this such a good Star Trek movie? Well, Spock makes a mean captain, standing in for the imprisoned Kirk.

SPOCK: 'Logic dictates we include all the ingredients which have proved popular in our earlier films. Data indicates that one crucial element is what humans call 'tongue-in-cheek' humor; in-jokes about previous episodes, self-mocking references, etc.'

Meyer's direction and dialogue are among the most fluid and exciting of the whole series, and he manages a lovely 'final' feel, saying goodbye to the old crew and embracing the future at the same time.

I really wanted to like this last Star Trek movie, it's just not as good as the ones form the 80s, but at least it isn't as boring as the first movie. Overall it's just okay.

The final Star Trek film to feature all of the original cast is quite a doozy. From the very beginning, the Klingons have always been based on the Soviet Era Russians. This film closely (but in a fictionalized way) parallels history by echoing the fall of the Berlin Wall and the eventual end of the Soviet Union. The
