Yeah it's been about a year since I last rated a Star Trek movie. But just over a week ago I had finally finished going through the entire series of Star Trek The Next Generations, so with that said, it's time to get started in watching and reviewing all the later films including the reboot so I will consider myself generally ready for Star Trek Into Darkness. But before I review Star Trek VII - Generations there is one last film from the original cast of Star Trek that I have been putting off reviewing for way too long. So here at last is my review for Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country.
Plot: After a Klingon moon that contained the key energy production for Klingons is destroyed, the Klingon Empire is left in chaos and so makes a sue for peace with the Federation. So the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise is sent to escort a Klingon chancellor to Earth to start negotiations. But then the Enterprise supposedly acts as though it fired on the Klingon ship and two figures dressed in Federation space suits beam to the ship and assassinate the chancellor. And when Kirk and Bones beam to the Klingon ship and fail to save the chancellor, the Klingons arrest them and put them on trail for murder.
Honestly, I just thought this movie was just nice. I mean don't get me wrong, it was well done, with a nice story and had the characters that everyone loves, some of the comedy was pretty cute to me, and all that jazz. But for me it was like, "So that's how the journey ends with the original cast, entrée next generations. Well alright then."I don't entirely know why I'm not being as enthusiastic as I feel I really should, especially as a far as Star Trek goes. I guess...it was just what I basically was for me with The Search for Spock roughly: It wasn't horrid, it wasn't totally groundbreaking as far as Star Trek films go, they gave us the story about this one main important thing, they made a decent movie to tell it, and I am like "Okay. Good to know that's how this happened." So really, the only thing to really add was that I did like the ending. I mean I won't give it away, but I though that especially did the trick when it came to finishing the story for the original series and then begin the adventures of The Next Generation.
And...that's it. My basic review for this movie is that it was just nice, it had nothing that I would was was horrible or particularly groundbreaking as far as watching a Star Trek movie, it just told the story of the last trek of the original crew for me to see before I got into going through the series of Next Generation and it was something that just made me go "Okay. I'm glad I know about this." If you enjoyed it or found it a much bigger deal for Star Trek then I'm giving it credit for, for myself, great. But that's just my honest two cents.
