Reviews for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Top CriticThough patchy, this is a lot more fun than the disastrous Star Trek V.

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

Top CriticSPOCK: '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.'
06/06/07
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.

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.

Shows just how difficult it is to practice peace

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
[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.
01/01/00
The principals' enthusiasm for their material has never seemed to fade. If anything, that enthusiasm grows more appealingly nutty with time.
