	Star Trek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Star Trek collectively refers to six science-fiction television series spanning 726 episodes, ten motion pictures, in addition to hundreds of novels, video games, and other works of fiction, all set within the same fictional universe created by Gene Roddenberry in the mid 1960s.
		Star Trek: Phase II was set to air in 1978 as the flagship series of a proposed Paramount television network, and 12 episode scripts were written before production was due to begin.
		Star Trek: The Next Generation was the highest rated of all the Star Trek series, and was the number-one syndicated show during the last few years of its original run.

	Star Trek VI: Undiscovered Country, The
		Star Trek VI is interesting in many ways, not the least of which is the revelation of what the "T" stands for in James T. Kirk.
		Star Trek VI sees the Klingon moon Praxis explode, causing depletion of the ozone layer on the Klingon's home planet - certain death for the Klingon race in 50 years unless they are evacuated from their planet.
		Previous Star Trek DVDs have all been 16x9 enhanced, which helps enormously where this artefact is concerned, but here the sharp lines of the Enterprise shimmered away often, with no enhancement to minimize it.

	Jammer's Review: "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" (1991) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		By the time this film has come around, as the original cast prepares to retire, Star Trek is a piece of Americana that has earned its right to be self-referential: Spock isn't really the one telling the joke, because he exists in a fictional mythos where Nixon perhaps is the inspiration for a Vulcan proverb.
		Star Trek VI was released on December 6.
		What most characterizes Star Trek VI (other than being the original cast's swan song) is that it's the only historical allegory in the film series.

		It should also be noted that Spock and McCoy have appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation, long after the events of this film.
		Star Trek VI was adapted into novel form by Jeanne M. Dillard.
		Star Trek and related names are trademarks of Paramount Pictures, and are used under "fair use" guidelines.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
		Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was a cute riff on the 20th century environmental crisis.
		Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the sixth mission of the starship Enterprise, was largely the work of director/screenwriter Nicholas Meyer, who wrote Khan, and executive producer Leonard Nimoy (who played Spock, of course), director of Star Trek IV.
		The events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country bridge the gap between the old TV series, in which the Klingons were arch-villains, and Star Trek - The Next Generation, in which Klingons serve in Starfleet.

	‘Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country’ (PG)
		The title "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" is something of a misnomer.
		Parody has always been an important ingredient in the "Star Trek" formula, and the tone that Meyer has achieved for this final adventure allows the actors to affectionately mock the personality traits of the characters they've created.
		After "Star Trek V," we may have felt that Kirk and Co. had worn out their welcome; now the thought of their drifting off into space is a mournful one.

	Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)
		Star Trek V: The Final Frontier damn near killed the franchise.
		By the time Frontier was released in 1989, Star Trek: The Next Generation was doing quite well and its cast seemed poised to make the leap to the big screen.
		Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.0:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the widescreen image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	Review: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The old generation of Star Trek, reduced to a pale shadow of their former selves by age and weak scripts, have finally opted out of Starfleet, turning over the mantle to Patrick Stewart and his crew.
		The Star Trek characters are all present and accounted for, although somewhat older than in their last appearance (allowing the screen personalities to approach the ages of the actors playing them).
		Star Trek VI is an improvement over its immediate predecessor, but it lacks the energy and thrills supplied by some of the lower-numbered sequels.

	DVD Review: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
		Treks III and IV were pretty good, but no where near the grandiose achievement of Wrath of Khan.
		However, Star Trek V was so horrific that the fact that Paramount was willing to give the franchise another chance is evidence of their extreme blind faith in Roddenberry's baby.
		Theatrically, Trek VI was an effective whodunit and a pretty darn good space action film.

	Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country - Music from the Movies
		Meyer earned much kudos for the classic underpinning in his direction of Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan and his imaginative style in the script for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, that he was given autonomy enough to subtitle this sixth adventure, The Undiscovered Country, his preferred title for Star Trek II.
		Indeed, this is the score’s most compelling attribute and develops with spiralling intensity throughout, always as a prelude to a perceived danger and to great effect in the opening moments of ‘The Battle For Peace’, the climactic and thrilling accompaniment to the final showdown of heroes and villains.
		Star Trek VI shows a galaxy on the precipice of internal collapse, a galaxy unprepared to face the challenges of change.

	Ziggy's Video Realm: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		That said, Star Trek VI accomplishes this with a seasoned maturity appropriate to its (gracefully) aging crew, and as such, proves to be the perfect cap for one of the most enduring and beloved franchises in all of science fiction - and all of entertainment - history.
		As in his other Trek effort, Star Trek II, Meyer takes the audience inside the Enterprise to decks rarely seen, showing it as a real environment with drawers people keep clothes in and bays that stock finite numbers of real torpedoes.
		On previous discs, the featurettes focusing on the “greater message” of the movie at hand, be it environmentalism for Star Trek IV or God for Star Trek V or what have you, have been rather unengaging and almost throwaway material.

	Amazon.com: Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country (1991): DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, released in 1991 a few months after the Silver Anniversary of the original television series and the death of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, is a suspenseful and adventure-packed "final voyage" for Capt. James T. Kirk and the Starship Enterprise.
		The Undiscovered Country also acknowledges the legitimacy of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and with an appearance by ST-TNG actor Michael Dorn as Col. Worf (the grandfather, one surmises, of the Enterprise-D's Lt. Worf, Dorn's "regular" role), the two generations are bridged on the silver screen.
		Star Trek VI's home video, laserdisc and first DVD releases contain the longer edited-for-home-viewing version which includes two deleted scenes featuring Rene Auberjonois (who would later be cast as Odo in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) as Col. West.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" DVD review (1991) Nicholas Meyer, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy
		So is it any wonder that both films were co-written and directed by the same man? Nicholas Meyer, who was a "Trek" novice before "Khan," helped shape "Trek's" future by lending this film the kind of gravitas that became a hallmark of every "Trek" that followed on the big screen and the small.
		These two relative outsiders to "Star Trek" really delve into the meat of their creative process and the blessings and restrictions of working within the "Trek" canon.
		As with the other "Trek" DVDs, there is a text commentary by the authors of the "The Star Trek Encyclopedia" that is a geek's delight, full of wonderful minutia and in-jokes, noting gaffes in the film and playfully mocking whatever absurdities they see.

	Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (Special Collector's Edition) (1991)
		Star Trek V: The Final Frontier darn near killed the franchise.
		I used to find Country to be at least on a par with 1982’s Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, but in retrospect, the older film remains clearly superior; it lacks Country’s hokier elements.
		Note that this DVD of Star Trek VI presents a cut of the film that differs from both the 1991 theatrical and 1992 home video renditions.

	Star Trek VI - the Score (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Star Trek VI was originally temptracked with Holst's The Planets.
		Director Nicholas Meyer (who also did Star Trek II) had initially wanted to use it, but the licensing fees turned out to be too high.
		Carried by the strings, it perfectly portrays the isolation of Kirk and McCoy's escape from the prison and their trek across the glaciers of Rura Penthe.

	Modamag.com \|Star Trek VI (DVD Review)
		“Star Trek VI” is a wonderful final film for our original cast members and sends them off in style.
		With a top notch cast, an excellent script and a director who understands what makes a movie worth watching, “The Undiscovered Country” ends an era in Star Trek that has yet to be captured in the “Next Generation” films.
		If only “Star Trek: Nemesis” had been able to do for that cast what “The Undiscovered Country” did for this one.

	MCN: DVD Review
		Although the 1991 film was made by people who don't know much about Star Trek (Why in the name of Kahless would Klingons have any interest at all in Hamlet, except as an example of how spineless Earth people are?), they do know a thing or two about pacing, suspense and entertaining viewers.
		William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley star, with Christopher Plummer as the primary villain.
		It's very hard to write drama with no conflict whatsoever, and that was always a conundrum in all kinds of Star Trek writing assignments." They also analyze the process of creating a work in collaboration with others.

	Movie Collector's Guide #11, Star Trek VI: The Undicovered Country
		The result is not only a recovery for the Star Trek film franchise, but a picture which breaks out of the cult and is genuinely a good movie for all, including non-Star Trek fans.
		Although they all came back to sort of "pass the torch" in Star Trek Generations, it is Undiscovered Country which is officially designated as the final movie for the original cast.
		We have to note that like the Star Trek V Collectors edition, none of these extras are 16:9 formatted.

	‘Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country’ (PG)
		"Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" marks a quarter-century of Trek culture.
		This includes endless reruns of the original TV series, worldwide Trekker conventions, cartoon versions, gadgets, accessories, a spinoff series ("Star Trek: The Next Generation") and, let's not forget, the five "Star Trek" movies before this one.
		"Star Trek VI" barrels along on industrial special effects and a 25-year momentum of good-willed, witty, human-interest sci-fi episodes.

	DVD Review - Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
		Trek VI goes a long way in returning to the formula that made the series so successful.
		Star Trek VI is also one of the first Paramount DVDs that lets you switch audio tracks on the fly (a French track is also included), instead of having to go back to the setup menu to change the audio - a few points for the studio.
		Footage was added to the full frame version, but much of it could not be added in widescreen, because the shots were unfinished (missing effects plates, such as matte paintings, that would have completed the practical footage shot on stage).

	Star Trek VI
		Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is simply the best of the Star Trek movies.
		A lot of our favourite guest stars are back, including Grace Lee Whitney as Rand, Mark Lenard's final performance as Sarek, and the fabulous John Schuck as the Klingon Ambassador.
		The film concludes with one of the greatest acts of balls ever seen on screen: as the story fades out, the signatures of the seven principal actors are writ large across the screen, literally "signing off" on the 25-year adventure of the starship Enterprise.

	Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (Special Collector's Edition) (1991) DVD-Ritterson's Episode Guides
		Star Trek V left us nowhere to go but up, and with the return of Star Trek II director Nicholas Meyer, Star Trek VI restored the movie series to its classic blend of space opera, intelligent plotting, and engaging interaction of stalwart heroes and menacing villains.
		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.

		Some highlighted moments were the Zero G attack on the warbird, the morphing effect of the prisoner, the dinner scene between the crew and the Klingons, and the final space battle.
		Full of action, excellent story archs, and the charm of the crew we've grown to love, Star Trek VI proves to be a wonderful send off of the original crew.
		The Star Trek Univerese offers another five featurettes about the director (who also wrote and directed Wrath of Khan), the Klingon history, etc. As said before, the Farewell feature takes a look back on DeForest Kelley's career, with interviews from his costars.

	Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
		Star Trek remains an incredible phenomenon almost four decades after it began.
		New roles for old players like Spock and Sulu are present, and “VI” perfectly sets up the changing of the guard between the William Shatner-led crew and the coming Patrick Stewart-helmed “Next Generation” films.
		“Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country” is one of the better films of the series, as the even-numbered entries tend to be.
