Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

On the verge of peace. On the brink of war.

What makes the sixth chapter one of the most enjoyable in the series is the improved, elaborate special effects as well as the screenplay whose story is quite like a mystery novel – the big question is how was it possible for the Enterprise to attack a Klingon peace delegation when no one in the crew had anything to do with it? The whole thing is a trap of course; the story is evenly divided between events on the ship and the murder trial of Kirk (William Shatner) and McCoy (DeForest Kelley). Crew members are starting to look really old but are still in good shape, so I’m pleased to see them leave in such a dignified way.

The YouTube clip shows the trailer.
