Summary: A Fitting End
Review: There were two themes in this move. The theme of prejudice, and the "go to hell, authority" theme.This movie captured the moralistic attitude of the original episodes where a science fiction world was used to tackle a present-day problem. The movie goes into detail about Kirk's prejudice toward the Klingon race; how the Klingons are different from the rest of the members of Starfleet. Through the course of the movie, other people are shown to have taken a more extremist stance in their prejudice toward the Klingons than Kirk, which makes him reevaluate his own prejudice. Isn't that what happens in life? We are born with prejudices. We have examples of people who fight against those prejudices and people who epitomize prejudice. We embrace the fight and scorn those who embody prejudice. This movie, more than any other Star Trek movie, exploited Kirk's defiant attitude. Every chance to scorn authority was taken by every regular member of the Enterprise. Spock even says in response to authority, "If I were human, I believe my response would be ... go to hell ... if I were human." Worf's minor part in defending Kirk in a Klingon court was a much better bridge between the series than Generations. In addition, displaying the signatures of the main cast at the end was an incredible and fitting final tribute.

Review: We have come to know the crew journed with them and discoverd new worlds with them and now for one last time this gallant crew will take us were no man has gone before.Star Trek 6 is a much darker Star Trek but the genious of Nicholas Myer does it with so much fun that this movie is hard to resist it is complex as it is fun to watch and grand in scale with lavish visual effects and , incredible acting it so much to take in and the crew reunited again is always wonderful to see.

While spock investigates he finds that the attack was accomplished by a kilngon bird of prey and the ship can cloak while attacking it is a battle for the future as they must find a way to preserve it at all costs even if it means going into battle with a ship they cant see.

Summary: What They Leave Behind
Review: A fitting swan song to the original series crew,which bridges many event that shows up on subsequent series(The Khitomer Accords,Klingon Honor,etc).The film gives our aged but beloved heroes a send-off that couldn't even be cheapened by Generations token TOS apperance.Its mix of action,suspense,and even mystery makes this a very entertaining film.The return to the directors chair of Nick Meyers is a godsend(attn Rick Berman,Hire Mr Meyers for Star Trek X).As Capt. Sulu of the Excelsior fittenly puts it,"Nice to see you in action,one more time."

Summary: A neat movie
Review: The plot is captivating. The script is great. The special effects are awesome. It became my favorite ST movie. I loved the idea of introducing Klingon enthusiasm for Shakespeare into this movie. Christopher Plummer makes a great villain. In my opinion, Chang is the greatest ST villains. Chang being a bald, eyepatched, Machiavellian, Shakespearean Klingon general is not only great but also unique.

Summary: Trek Came Full Circle With This.
Review: I have special memories of Star Trek 6. My girlfriend, buddy and I were at the ceremony outside Mann's Chinese Theater, Hollywood in December 1991 when the original Classic Trek crew put their hands and feet in cement. Then the next day we saw the first public screening of the film and were blown away. This was a 'everything but the kitchen sink' movie lovingly created by Nick Meyer, Leonard Nimoy and their cast and crew. Classic Trek went out on a high with a good script, excellent performances, music score, special effects and nostalgia. But this film is not without its' faults. I know the story drove the jarringly militaristic attitude of the Starfleet Commanders, but it was still a bit of a surprise. Still, Star Trek works best when it toughens up a bit. And it was interesting to see Bill Shatner almost managing to put a fresh spin on his 'Shatnerisms'. Only Walter Koenig came across as a bit bemused by the whole thing in his performance. But everyone else seemed to be enjoying it immensely. Especially George Takei. Takei was so good as Captain Sulu it's a tragedy they don't give him his own Trek movie, or at the very least a TV mini-series. The guy rocks! Plot Hole: There were hundreds of delegates and soldiers down on the surface of Khitomer. How did they get there? The Enterprise and the Klingon Bird Of Prey have the whole sky to themselves above the planet! Was the relatively low budget the cause for the lack of a BIG 20-ship battle? Must be. Also, the Enterprise leaves spacedock at Earth and when Captain Kirk is just putting his luggage away, Lieutenant Valeris arrives and tells him they are almost at the rendezvous point! This later transpires to be at the Klingon border. Not even Scotty's hotrod Enterprise is THAT quick! But never mind the nitpicking too much. This film will put a lump in the throat of all die-hard Trekkers everywhere as its sign off scene comes to pass. Paramount needs to look at this film again to see that THIS is how you make a great Star Trek film.

Summary: Trek VI.... DVD version best
Review: I have seen this movie for years in the VHS mode and loved it but was not up to theater par. Since I bought the DVD version it brings back movie theater splendor. Wounderful color and sound. Try using surround sound and it will be like you are in the movie. A must buy!

Summary: Mac Man Rates Star Trek VI
Review: I have a confession to make. I've always been a trekker at heart. It's true. I've always been a Sci-Fi fan as well. But this movie has really taken me beyond that point. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for action/adventure film. But once in a while, I get the hankering for something thought provoking. When was the last Die Hard with a Vegance did that to you? This movie has expressed what I feel to be a accurate of a lot of people's feelings about the (then) current events in Russia in the early 90's. This movie really helps kids, teenagers, and people a like that peace is sometimes neccasarry to fight and that it is worth fighting for. Without a doubt, one of, if not the best Star Trek films. Director Nicholas Myers (Time After Time, Star Trek II) produces a fablous thriller air that will draw you into the experiance. It promotes all the mood and atmosphere of The Hunt For Red October, will still manageing to send several messages across that provide points to ponder for hours. The humor and action is blended nicely and the Star Trek cast are at there best acting yet! The symbolism works well and expresses realistic feelings and fears.

Summary: A captivating movie.
Review: When I made my friend, who does not like Star Trek at all,watch this film it blew him away. He found this movie, as I did a great film. Christopher Plummer plays a perfect villan, and the rest of the cast does a great job too. It ends in a great battle, and has very few flaws in the script. This is one good film, and I would tell anyone, Star Trek fan or not to watch this. If they didn't they would be missing out on a terrific movie.

Summary: Glasnost in space, one of the best in the series.
Review: Normally I am not much of a Star Trek fan, I think the series is a little too nice and sweet, but I really liked The Undiscovered Country. It has a better plot than usual for a Star Trek movie and the cast does a good job. Christopher Plummer as a villainous one-eyed alien really steals the show, especially when he starts quoting Shakespeare. Well timed with the breakthrough of Glasnost in the Soviet Union, this movie showing the same thing happening in the Star Trek universe appeared at exactly the right moment, but even now, ten years later it is still effective.

Summary: Great movie but many problems
Review: Amazon/Widescreen rated this movie (DVD) as 5 for picture and 5 for sound. Both ratings are way too high. I love this movie and rate it 4, but the DVD is truly disappointing. In addition to the characters' lips not matching the sound, the sound is often distorted and muffled. In addition, the picture often has a line on the left side (which sometimes cannot be corrected.) How many times per movie do you want to stop play and run alignment? It seems to me that Paramount really slopped this one out and didn't even try to make a quality DVD. The VHS is better if you can believe that. I do not understand how 20th Century Fox can do such a nice job on the old Alien and Warner Bros. can also enhance Bladerunner, yet this Star Trek movie is absurd in quality compared to them. I hesitate to purchase future Paramount DVD's.
