Though patchy, this is a lot more fun than the disastrous Star Trek V.

Reviews for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
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.
05/26/06
For a movie that begins with such promise, The Undiscovered Country ends with a whimper.
01/01/00
Top CriticLike its even-numbered predecessors, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is fast-paced and entertaining.
01/01/00
The original crew at its finest, and the Trek lore at its most thrilling.
10/25/04
The bang/buck ratio is high and it's packed with pithy dialogue and little emotional kicks that make it a worthy, dignified sendoff for the crew we've followed for so many (dear God, so many) years.
04/08/06
Shows just how difficult it is to practice peace
07/19/03
Cold War-influenced exit of classic space crew.
12/01/09
A heavy-handed yet curiously weightless swan song
01/27/04
Why is this such a good Star Trek movie? Well, Spock makes a mean captain, standing in for the imprisoned Kirk.
05/19/08
A fun, exciting -- and dignified -- sign-off for Captain Kirk and crew.
09/10/01
A rousing sendoff for Kirk, Spock, and Bones, and a fitting transition from the original series' Cold-War milieu to the Next-Generation age of engagement.
02/08/04
As with many of the Trek movies, the acting is exaggerated and the plot has holes. But flaws and all, it's fun to watch this crew complete its final big-screen mission.
04/09/04
Rich, action-filled and loaded with familiar literary and political references, not to mention a number of savvy in-jokes, Star Trek VI is an utter delight that should more than please fans of the series.
01/01/00
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.
01/01/00
Top Critic...mostly combines the interminable interstellar politics of the later Star Wars films with the slowest game of Clue you've ever played.
04/08/09
Not the best of the series, but it is entertaining.
01/01/00
The principals' enthusiasm for their material has never seemed to fade. If anything, that enthusiasm grows more appealingly nutty with time.
05/20/03
Top Criticfairly entertaining ... but the final voyage of the original crew ends more like an epilogue than with a resounding final fanfare
02/16/04
[The movie] realises that its strength lies in our familiarity with the characters by now and exploits this cleverly -- particularly in scenes where the crew must unearth traitors in their midst almost like in a Agatha Christie detective story.
