Amazon.co.uk Review
Star Trek V left us nowhere to go but up, and with the return of Wrath of Khan director Nicholas Meyer, this sixth instalment restored the movie series to its classic blend of space opera, intelligent plotting and engaging interaction of stalwart heroes and menacing villains. Borrowing its subtitle (and several lines of dialogue) from Shakespeare, the movie finds Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) and his fellow Enterprise crew members on a diplomatic mission to negotiate peace with the revered Klingon Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner). When the high-ranking Klingon and several officers are ruthlessly murdered, blame is placed on Kirk and crew. The subsequent investigation, which sees Spock taking on the mantle of Sherlock Holmes, uncovers an assassination plot masterminded by the nefarious Klingon General Chang (Christopher Plummer) in an effort to disrupt a historic peace summit. As this political plot unfolds, Star Trek VI takes on a sharp-edged tone, with Kirk and Spock confronting their opposing views of diplomacy and testing their bonds of loyalty when a Vulcan officer is revealed to be a traitor. With a dramatic depth befitting what was to be the final movie mission of the original Enterprise crew, this film took the veteran cast out in respectably high style, with the torch being passed to the crew of Star Trek: The Next Generation in the following movie, Star Trek: Generations. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

Format:VHS Tape
A very dark film which is by no means a bad thing. Startrek VI - 'The Undescovered Country' opens with James Horners equally sinester muscial score that is far more effective than his orchestrations for Startrek II - The Wrath of Khan. The film combines humour and ingenuity, such as the crew of the Enterprise's attempts at speaking Klingon to avaid detection by an enemy look-out post. The ship battling action is impressive and Kirk and McCoy's Jail break provides a parallel dramatic narrative as the pair try to survive on this desolate planet. A truly atmospheric film - go buy it!

This film is great classic Star Trek. It is the last film to star the original Star Trek crew, and boy they go out with a bang. This is the best Star Trek film since Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan. This is not surprising as this film has the same director. Kirk and the rest of the Enterprises crew may be looking a bit old but they can still pull their punches. The story line is the best type there is in Star Trek. Without spoiling the plot, Kirk is put into a no win situation and the rest of the film is Kirk and the Enterprises crew desperately attempting to win from this no win situation. Naturally they do win, but the film is nerve wracking until the last possible moment. An excellent film for the Classic Star Trek crew to bow out with and a must see film for any Star Trek fan.

Format:DVD
This has to be the best "first generation" Star Trek movie. The crew are beginning to look their age but the fast pace supplied by Nicolas Meyer directing means they have to leave their zimmers in the wardrobe. The soundtrack is also one of the best I've heard on a Star Trek movie both musically and also the excellant sound effects in Dolby Digital. All this said again we see poor provision of extras by Paramount. A few trailers are all we get for the DVD premium price. And althought the picture has great colour statuation and is very sharp the disc is not anamorphic to give it that ultimate edge ... Still it'\
s the movie that counts and this is a Sci-Fi classic.

Suprisingly enjoyable
The original Star Trek movie was decent. The subsequent 'Wrath of Khan' and 'The Search for Spock' were even better and enjoyable sci-fi sequels. Read more

Not nearly as good as it should have been
I have seen it written that only even numbered Trek films are good. I can not agree, as for me the first 3 were good, especially 2 and 3 and all since have been poor. Read more
