Trek VI was the fitting tribute to the original cast. They did their bit for king and country and received a well deserved ride into the sunset.

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

I can understand some people not liking the somewhat heavy-handed allegory for the collapse of the Soviet Union, but the film is really just about learning to let go of ones' bigotry and hatred. It was so simple for Kirk. Klingons were an enemy. Untrustworthy. Devious. All of them. Suddenly being thrust into a situation he wasn't, for all of his years as a leader, able to lead in. Moreso than even Wrath of Khan, I think Undiscovered Country humanizes Kirk to atone for his brash attitude towards the Klingons in TOS, from declaring himself a soldier in Errand of Mercy to mocking and humiliating Klingons in Trouble with Tribbles to his reluctant truce in Day of the Dove.

[@dandeliondown6010]

Good comment. 　 In Kirk's defense, I will just say this about his behavior: many people would have reacted the same way if the Klingons had killed their child (Kirk: "I can never forgive them for the death of my boy"). Nevertheless, it is pleasing that the movie shows Kirk overcoming his bigotry because that demonstrates his strength of character in the end. 　 By the way, I'm glad you mentioned "Errand for Mercy" because it is one of my favorite episodes.

david warner is one of my favorite actors. first saw him in TRON and loved his star trek appearances.

[@iammwh936]

One of my favorite Star Trek films. Why? Because it breaks barriers. Everyone has a hate and sometimes that hate is based on one incident instead of looking at the whole picture or the whole people (or aliens). Not ALL Klingon's were bad. Not all Humans or Vulcan's are good. I feel this was the most reality based films (set in the ST universe) Roddenberry ever made.

[@Willpower-74205]

I love a movie that starts off with a bang. Watching the Excelsior getting knocked around by the Praxis shockwave was cool. Having grown up in the 80's and 90's, I had the unique opportunity to watch the fall of an empire even larger than ancient Rome. The Gorbachev abduction, the Red Army turning against the Soviet hard-liners responsible. It sounded like something from a Tom Clancy novel. I was glad to see some of that reflected in Star Trek VI. Kirk coming to terms with his prejudices, Spock betrayed by his apprentice, Sulu getting his own command. It's all about change and the people who are frightened of it. Plus, I love seeing those monster maroons. 😁🖖

ST6 is my favourite out of all of the movies. I had the soundtrack on cassette and made my dad play it in the car on any long journey, to me it is still has the best score of all the Trek films.

It's hilarious that you have George Takei talking about his character here. He is very famous for going on and on and on about Captain Sulu.

[@mdd1963]

Yes, his 8-10 seconds of appearance as a secondary captain on a support ship were vital in the plots of said films!

[@SamanthaIreneYTube]

In his defense, it was supposed to be a bigger deal before Shatner threw a fit on set of ST2 and ruined the filming of his lines saying Sulu was made Captain of Excelsior. He was supposed to have his own ship from 3 on.

[@SquabbleBoxHQ]

The Undiscovered Country is my personal favourite Star Trek film - I suspect Meyer got to know Star Trek a helluva lot better in the intervening years, as it has the adult substance of Khan with a more adventurous flavour (both are excellent, though). Good video Johnny, I learned a few new things - Dave.

[@donaldorton1608]

Actually, Nimoy was upset about the fact that two writers were brought on to write the script who basically just took notes during story meeting with Nimoy and never actually wrote or came up with anyting. Nimoy was growing impatient with them and finally was able to get them off the job and brought in Meyers, who, with Denny Martin Flinn, wrote the screenplay because by this time, it had to be put together quick. Nimoy was also pissed that Meyer had gone over the story with the other two writers behind Nimoys back. But in Nick's defense, he thought he was helping everyone out. In the end, the two writers Konners and Rosenthal, showed their notes to the guild and were given Story credits and Nimoy was left off of everything. Nimoy went off and threatened to sue everyone...the guild...paramount...that scared the hell out of everyone...So, Nimoy shares the Story credit with Konner and Rosenthal and Meyer and Denny have the screenplay credits.

Watching this today, oddly enough the 29th anniversary of Gene Roddenberry's passing - October 24th 1991. Trek VI is a near perfect end for the TOS cast. Wish Shatner and the others would have left well enough alone and not been a part of the first TNG film.

[@philoshaughnessy906]

In Hamlet, the prince describes death as the undiscovered country. In the movie it's peace.

[@dandeliondown6010]

Perhaps indirectly "the undiscovered country" is peace: it certainly seems that Chang and Kirk are afraid of a peaceful future. 　 However, Gorkon introduces the phrase: 　 GORKON: I offer a toast: The undiscovered country, the future. 　 Later Kirk refers to Gorkon's toast: 　 KIRK (to AZETBUR): Your father called the future "the undiscovered country". 　 Well, the future means different things to different people, so I guess "the undiscovered country" can also mean different things to different people. 　 LLAP

[@robertpolanco1973]

Personally, I am impressed with "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" and it was great because the franchise had managed to bounce back after the utter dreadful failure of "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" in 1989. The plot was unique and fantastic and it was something that I expected in the supposed final chapter of the original "Star Trek" series and cast.

[@enshk79]

One of my greatest wishes was for Nicholas Meyer to completely take over the franchise and do what he wants with it. He was the best thing to ever fucking happen to Trek. Him and Jonathan Frakes

[@MGSBigBoss77]

I'm surprised you've left out the fact the film was expanded upon for its television and home video releases with a slightly longer version of the film. And secondly how the Star Trek: Voyager's 30th Anniversary episode; "Flashback" expanded upon Lt Tuvok's time onboard Captain Sulu's ship during the Kitomer events seen in the theatrical film, when the U.S.S. Excelsior ran into Captain Kang's (from Day of The Dove) Klingon ship. Thirdly, no mention of actor; Christian Slater's cameo role in the film because his mother was a film agent in Hollywood and got him a walk on part in the movie?

[@DIYDaveOK]

Meyer and Nimoy each had a great directorial take on Trek. Nimoy made movies out of Trek; Meyer made Trek into movies. But without Have Bennet taking control in Wrath of Khan, and ironically getting Roddenberry's influence diminished, none of the other movies would ever have happened.

[@TJFicarrotta]

I can personally vouch for the original ending as I met Walter Koenig at a comicon in White Plains, NY where he did say that his intention was to have each character die in battle towards the end of the movie one-by-one from least to most important bridge crew character. The way he explained it in the group setting sounded really good if you heard it, but I was still thinking how glad I was that they didn’t die. It worked out perfectly. It’s funny, but the narrator originally says the moon Praxis, but later on calls Praxis a planet. Oopsie. Editing your work is important. 😂🤣😂 The “political wall in space”...the neutral zone...that he should have referenced, would be the iron curtain. Specifically saying that rather than leaving it out is important and is also what Walter Koenig mentioned in his talk. It was meant to be based on the Cold War between the US and the USSR as that’s how Gene Roddenberry envisioned his TV series back in the 60s. Leonard Nimoy thought that was appropriate and I couldn’t agree more. What the narrator failed to mention about Savik and Kim Catrall’s character was that it was suppose to be Savik originally as it was suppose to be Spock’s Love interest as well, but everyone Loved Savik too much...both fans and writers...that they didn’t have the heart to turn her into a traitor. That was their second best decision to me after not having them die at the end of this film. It had bothing to do with Kim turning it down if anyone thinks that. Christopher Plummer by the way was PERFECT in his role. Why this guy thinks he was “over the top” is ridiculous. Christopher is a well known Shakespearean actor. His charm and acting abilities helped make Kang incredibly believable. I’m not sure just why he didn’t enjoy the political side if it. If he wasn’t a teenager around that time...I was 21...he wouldn’t have understood that it was based on the political climate where communism fell. To those living during the fall of the USSR, that was a very big deal and felt like a great success in the western world. Leonard Nimoy knew and understood how it would resonate with fans and nonfans alike and view it as success for the original cast. It was indeed an appropriate storyline to do. Especially considering how in ST: TNG there was peace...albeit thin...between the Klingon empire and the Federation. They had to explain where it started. The explosion of the Klingon moon, Praxis, is parallel to the explosion of Chernobyl. This is partly why Star Trek resonates so much with fans.

While most most people may not like Star Trek the Motion Picture , it is a favorite of mine because it reintroduces the Original cast back into the Star Trek Franchise in a very big way . And also the cast still looked very much like they did in the Original series . The Wrath of Kahn is also another favorite of mine . But my absolute favorite Original cast Star Trek film is by far The Voyage Home . The Undiscovered Country is Bittersweet because it marks the very end of the Original cast working together in the Franchise .

As far as I know, The Undiscovered Country director’s cut has no such excuse so they should at least give us that

I think the storyline where the original crew were killed would’ve been quite good because it would have drawn a clear line underneath those characters and would have sealed their legendary status; going out in a heroic blaze.

I went to a military college-North Ga.College (now UNG)- in the '80's. I wasn't in ROTC, but having grown up as an Army Brat, I still wanted to go there. Julie Nimoy was also born in the same place where my sister, younger brother, and nephew were born, MacPherson. My older brother was born in Japan and serves in the Navy I, born in Germany in '55, was 2 months younger. My dad was a major so he travelled quite a bit before we settled in Ga. When fellow students went to see "Star Trek" films, we in the front seats would tell "Airborne" when the USS Enterprise took off onto space!Others would tell "All the way"! One of the ships my brother sailed on was an Enterprise, another The USS Savannah APR-4. I wish the had a starship with her name.

[@mapesdhs597]

Not sure I would go as far as to call it politically charged. :D I get the suggestion of the allegory with the USSR, but the film stands up very well just on its own anyway (overall my favourite ST movie, just pipping Wrath of Khan). And it isn't prejudice btw, it's called normal ingroup preference (the desire to maintain one's own culture, morals, values, etc.), the key difference being that the prejudice Kirk has is not rational since he's expanded his loathing of an individual unauthorised act to an entire race. Thus, the movie is not about letting go of "prejudice and bigotry", rather it's about *Kirk* letting go of his own specific self-created instance of such feelings, but that isn't an argument against ingroup preference in general. The nature of Kirk's career meant he was always more likely to encounter the worst amid other races, but this isn't something conveyed during the ST series at all. The writing suggests that perfectly normal responses are thus equivalent in all members of the crew and others, but the nuance of why each behaves the way they do is left aside, it's all just lumped together, eg. it's a pity we never learn why Cartwright and other senior Federation staff act the way they do. Get rid of ingroup preference entirely though and one ends up with a mess such as we have in Western Europe, cultural destruction heaped upon the altar of misplaced altruism and poltical dogma. Now that would be an equally intriguing plot to explore, how Earth would change if every single Klingon were invited to move there, given free stuff and the ability to change the local culture to match their own, impose their laws and force locals to bow to their will, though modern Hollywood wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot cattle prod. :D It's the daily reality for places like London though. Hence why those involved in the production suggesting the movie is an allegory for the USSR are being incredibly simplistic, whether that was the intention of the writers or not (viewers meanwhile are free to infer as they see fit, movies often have applicability which shifts over time, long outlasting any original intent). There were so many other factors involved than just the media-portrayed east/west rivalry, from control of resources to managing conflict and borders elsewhere across the Middle East and in Europe, including religious ideologically derived terrorism. Today the mainstream legacy media and globalist Silicon Valley corporations push narratives condemning ingroup preference because, like the left in general, they stand to lose out big time if government were reduced in size, borders maintained, the welfare state rolled back, cultural interity enforced, and their ability to survive exposed to the free market. They've even gone as far as changing language itself; a phobia is an *irrational* fear of something, the key point being an asbence of an evidence-based rationale for the related fear, yet Google now does not include "irrational" in its provided definition of xenophobia, they changed it during the 2016 election campaign to make it easier for leftist activists to shout at people. Left-leaning wikipedia has copied this, yet the wiki still has "unreasonable" in its definition of arachnophobia. From the point of view of any Terran in the context of the movie, was it rational based on available evidence to fear the Klingons? Yes. Thus, such fear is not on its own sufficient to call someone bigoted; indeed, no label hurled at someone is on its own an argument. I don't expect movies to be nuanced to the nth degree, but they could at least try, but these days that's way too much to expect.

Khan quoted 20th century American literature because he was from the 20th century. The Klingon baddie in this movie quotes Shakespear a ton... but it makes no sense. He's a Klingon not from Earth. They were desperately trying to recreate another Khan. Lame-ola.

I always thought it was a shame that Meyer has had very little success outside of Trek as a director.

[@alexandermacdougall7873]

this movie is great.

[@joshuairon1443]

I really think besides Wrath of Khan, this is one of the best ST movies. It has all of the elements that made ST so entertaining. My only criticism is the score. Goldsmith's grand ST themes really needed to be a part of the final ST movie of the original cast. I feel the film is really lacking something without it. The score that was composed for the film is adequate, but lacks the majestic quality Goldsmith brought to ST films 1 & 5.

[@leytonjay]

It's definitely the best of the Original Movies, but only just beating 2 then 4. I still rank First Contact at ultimate top of list of all Trek movies.

[@LKaramazov]

First contact? You were doing so well, and then you went absolutely nuts.

For me personally, 'Star Trek VI' is a strange one - it's not one of my favourite plots and I'm not really a fan of the whole political elements to it, yet the movie is done well ... almost the complete reverse of 'Star Trek V', which I think has a great potential plot but sadly isn't done very well, not because of Shatner's (very able) directing, but more down to the studio keep interfering with the script and now allowing the budget needed. VI is one of my lesser watched of the ST movies, but one that I do hold in high regard for at least being made well. And that final sequence, with the cast basically saying goodbye to viewers, is surprisingly emotional and raises the film up another notch.

Great video BUT one question..........4:19 The destruction of the Klingon MOON Praxis....7:06 With the destruction of the PLANET Praxis.......Am I CONFUSED?

[@thedarkestowl4224]

Praxis was a planet/moon within the Klingon Empire. At no point was it described as a moon of Qonos, the homeworld. Its destruction was the result of a mining accident.

@@thedarkestowl4224 Forgive me for misunderstanding.....my information is that a planet revolves around a star where a moon revolves around a planet that revolves around a star.......so sorry for causing you pain.....

love it

[@KlingonCaptain]

Star Trek 6 is my favorite Star Trek movie. Sure it was low budget, but it was very well written.

[@1701spacecadet]

Yet the effects definitely don't look low budget, even today.

[@CaptainSpalding72]

The film is no more politically charged than any given TOS episodes. How is it any different than the numerous episodes slamming the Vietnam war? I would edit that comment out.

[@Daehawk]

Still not sure how he knew it was the shapeshifter and not Kirk he shot.
