Reviews for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
For a movie that begins with such promise, The Undiscovered Country ends with a whimper.

...mostly combines the interminable interstellar politics of the later Star Wars films with the slowest game of Clue you've ever played.

One of the dullest films of the sextet thus far.

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.'

One of the best of the Trek films with Plummer really hamming it up as a Shakespeare-quoting Klingon.

Cold War-influenced exit of classic space crew.
12/01/09
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.

A fun, exciting -- and dignified -- sign-off for Captain Kirk and crew.
09/10/01
Like its even-numbered predecessors, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is fast-paced and entertaining.
01/01/00
Though patchy, this is a lot more fun than the disastrous Star Trek V.

Director/coscripter Nicholas Meyer moves this vehicle efficiently. He employs some tremendous visuals.
