“Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country” is a
Sci-Fi Action Adventure based on Gene Roddenberry’s original creation,
screenplay written by Nicholas Meyer and Denny Martin Flinn, story by
Leonard Nimoy, Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal and Directed by Nicholas
Meyer.
The Klingons are forced to make peace with the
Federation, following an explosion on their moon, resulting in damage to their
ozone layer which could be completely depleted in as little as 50 years at
which point their planet would be uninhabitable.
The Federation are eager to enter peace talks
as it will mean an end to 70 years of conflict, so Captain James T. Kirk
(William Shatner) and his crew, Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley),
Scotty (James Doohan), Sulu (George Takei), Chekov (Walter Koenig), Uhura
(Nichelle Nichols) are called upon to help in the negotiations because of their
vast experience of dealings with the Klingons.
However, things don’t quite go according to
plan as on the eve of their retirement, Kirk and McCoy, are charged with, and
convicted of, assassinating the Klingon High Chancellor, and are imprisoned on
the snowy hard-labour penal colony of Rura Penthe.
However, the loyal Enterprise help them escape
so they can thwart the diabolical plot aimed at sabotaging the last best hope
for peace.
A decent Star Trek adventure with all the
usual faces and a few additions, Kim
Cattrall as Lt. Valeris, Mark Lenard as Sarek, Brock Peters as
Admiral Cartwright, Kurtwood
Smith as Federation President and Christopher Plummer as Chang.
