“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.
