The Bottom Line

  • + Stunning 4K remaster

Should you buy it?

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country 4K Blu-ray Review 99

Courtesy of an untested director, savage budget cuts, and an overly ambitious yet problematic script, Star Trek: The Final Frontier received a savage critical and commercial backlash upon release, which barely scraped in $50 million at the worldwide box office (Tim Burton's Batman released two weeks later managed over eight times that figure).

With the small screen revival of the franchise in The Next Generation proving that fans were happy to embrace a new, younger crew, it was perhaps tempting for Paramount and CBS to cut their losses and retire Kirk, Spock, and Bones for good. Thankfully, the studio decided to let the original crew have one final go around, which not only resulted in the proper sendoff that the sci-fi trailblazers deserved but also resulted in one of the best feature films in the series' history.

With the sudden destruction of the Klingon moon Praxis, the Empire decides it can no longer afford to continue its posture of intergalactic war and intends to broker a deal with the Federation for peace. While both camps remain suspicious of the other's motives, the Federation dispatches the Starship Enterprise to shadow a Klingon vessel transporting Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner), whose attending negotiations on Earth.

En route, the chancellor is murdered and when all signs point to an Enterprise crewman - perhaps even Captain Kirk - the chance for peace is not only risked, but the escalation of outright war becomes imminent.

Video transfer

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.35:1, encoded with H.265 compression, and finished with a Dolby Vision pass, in addition to a base HDR-10 layer.

As with its five predecessors, Paramount has returned to the original camera negative to produce this brand new 4K transfer, which replaces the previous, nearly 20-year-old HD master in a definitive manner. The new transfer is stable as a rock, crisply detailed, and cleaned of almost all the film artifacts that crept into the negative during production and subsequent handling.

The color balance is excellent, with rich and saturated tones where appropriate. This is an extremely 'filmic' presentation, which comes as a breath of fresh air compared to the previous master, which was riddled with noise, artifacts, and egregious edge enhancement, which made Spock look like a wax figure.

Overall, this is an impressive remaster, which finally does this film justice on the smaller screen.

Audio transfer

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is presented with a Dolby TrueHD 7.1 remix at 24 bits.

Porting over the audio mix originally assembled for the 2009 Blu-ray release, The Undiscovered Country certainly sounds a treat. There were no problems with audio sync or dialogue. Occasionally the mix sounded a little 'thin', especially in regards to the general ambiance, but when the action kicks into gear, the audio does a good job of keeping up.

Bass is responsive when requested and effectively underscores some of the more intensive sequences. Cliff Eidelman's score is a step down from the very best work of Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner, but his iconic opening theme is as rousing and as triumphant as always.

Overall, this is a solid effort that does enough to be impressive, but again it's hard not to imagine the improvement that could have been offered with a new Dolby Atmos mix.

Bonus materials

Unfortunately, unlike other international releases, Paramount has again not included a copy of the standard Blu-ray in the Australian release, which means all the video-based features are absent from this edition. Trekkers would be advised to hang on to the previous Blu-ray release or import the U.S. or U.K. editions to retain everything.

However, the 4K disc does include two previously released Audio Commentaries , the first Director Nicholas Meyer and Screenwriter Denny Martin Flinn, Meyer is ever consistent, and I enjoy listening to his comments, frequently drawing parallels to the films plot and the real-life cessation of the cold war.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country 4K Blu-ray Review 04

The second commentary features writer Larry Nemecek and Deep Space Nine producer Ira Steven Behr. From the perspective of Star Trek fans and insiders, there's much less emphasis on technical talk and more tongue-in-cheek comments.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country delivers upon the nearly impossible task of giving the original crew of the Enterprise a fitting sendoff within a genuinely excellent film with timely political overtones wrapped up in a tense mystery. With both cuts on 4K Ultra HD, fans can choose their favored version of the film with Director Nicholas Meyer’s preferred 2.39:1 aspect ratio in Dolby Vision HDR. With excellent audio and tons of bonus features, this final voyage of the original cast is a bittersweet goodbye to one of the greatest cast of actors ever assembled. Highly Recommended

Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the Enterprise run into sabotage on the way to the Klingon-Federation peace talks.

Storyline: Our Reviewer's Take

To properly close out a generation of adventures, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country brings back our original crew (with Sulu getting his own ship) for one last mission. After the abject failure that was the fifth film, this final voyage brought in franchise heavy hitter Nicholas Meyer from Wrath of Khan to right the ship and deliver a politically-charged and highly entertaining film. For all intents and purposes, this film is a rousing success helping bring a fitting close for the original crew with a bittersweet send-off that gives every member a true fan moment to shine. With Christopher Plummer as the Shakespear-spewing Klingon General Chang, we get a genuinely lethal bad guy for a story wrapped within a classic whodunnit structure letting Spock play detective while Kirk and McCoy get to wax philosophical about aging out of their universe. 

I was nine years old when this movie hit theaters. The Berlin Wall had come down, and the global threat of communism was essentially vanquished. With those geopolitical happenings still fresh in the news, it was impossible to miss this film’s themes and ambitions. If there’s a failing to be leveled at Undiscovered Country it’s how on-the-nose everything is. While the original series never really stood in for a politically allegorical “us-vs-them” surrogate, it does fit well for this film. The Klingons have always been the intergalactic bad guys, but somewhere in the timeline, the Federation had patched things up well enough for dear old Worf to be a crewmember of the Enterprise for The Next Generation . So this film more or less fills in that plot gap while expounding on the nature of age and deep societal change. 

star trek vi the undiscovered country 4k review

The film’s themes may be clunky, but I love this one. I remember being so excited to see this in theaters and unlike V , it still holds up very well. And both cuts are very good. The Director’s Cut may add some extra tidbits, some extra character beats, and a little extra silly Scooby-Doo reveal at the end, but all in all, this film was a fitting send-off. It’s a shame that George Takei’s Sulu couldn’t actually appear with the rest of the cast in the same room (that’s a whole mess I’m not going to dig into), but that final fanfare with each castmember signing their names against a traveling starfield is enough to bring any fan of Star Trek to tears. I know I get weepy every time the final credits start to roll.

Video Review

star trek vi the undiscovered country 4k review

Rounding out the original cast franchise,  Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country comes home with a wonderful 2160p Dolby Vision transfer in Director Nicholas Meyer’s preferred 2.39:1 aspect ratio for both cuts. Because this film is the only one of the franchise shot largely on Super35, fine film grain is much more apparent than in the other films. But considering the horrible waxy DNR and dodgy edge enhancement of the 2009 Blu-ray, I’ll take a slightly noisy grain structure any day of the week. That 2009 disc is quite ugly by comparison. This new transfer gives you a full appreciation of facial features, clothing textures, and the impressive models for our various starships. It’s extra nice to finally fully appreciate all of the creature makeup work that’s on display in that Klingon prison camp.

Dolby Vision HDR has been smartly applied giving colors and skin tones a healthy presence. Past releases could look very washed out and pale by comparison leaving the red Starfleet uniforms looking almost pink. Now they’re back to a nice crimson without making the cast look too flush. Likewise, blue and yellow tones come through nicely. Early CGI effects are a little dodgy, the energy wave at the beginning, or the floating Klingon blood blops can kind of float over the screen a little - but outside of completely redoing those effects shots, I don’t think there’s any getting around that. Black levels are also greatly enhanced giving shadows to the image we haven’t seen before with a stronger three-dimensional depth. Whites are crisp without any blooming issues. Elements are in great shape without any damage to report. 

Audio Review

star trek vi the undiscovered country 4k review

And once again, like the rest of the 4K releases for this franchise - Paramount opted to recycle the same excellent Dolby TrueHD 7.1 audio tracks for both cuts of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country . Doing some disc flipping with the 2009 release, I didn't notice anything different. Sure, a new Atmos track like what the Director’s Edition enjoys would have been great but I’m not going to complain. This track is active and engaging with clean dialog, and great sound effects and Cliff Eidelman’s excellent score comes through without issue.

Special Features

star trek vi the undiscovered country 4k review

Nothing new in the soup for this release, but fans of the film can enjoy a trove of excellent archival materials. If you haven’t seen them or listened to the audio commentaries, they may be older but they’re new to you! And those commentaries really are the highlight. The other featurettes are nice but I hold the commentaries as the more informative and interesting extras of the whole bunch. For clarification, the included 1080p Blu-ray only features the Theatical Cut of the film so the text Commentary for the Director’s Cut is not included on that disc, only the 4K Disc.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country ships out the original cast and crew of the Enterprise in grand fashion. After the relatively uneventful fifth film, this was a welcome return to form offering a thoughtful action-mystery-whodunnit as the final cinematic voyage for our amazing cast of characters. Its ideas and themes may be pretty surface-level, but the film still holds up right through to the emotional end credits. After a fresh restoration for this 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Undiscovered Country finally actually looks like a film again without the horrible DNR and over-used edge enhancement. The same audio track has been brought over - but that’s perfectly okay and a massive collection of archival bonus features beams aboard this excellent release. If you’re someone not aiming to own every film of the franchise or are simply looking to complete your collection from the previous 4-Film 4K set, this is a great disc for the shelf. Highly Recommended .

4K Ultra HD Review – Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

September 7, 2022 by Brad Cook

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country , 1991.

Directed by Nicholas Meyer. Starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, Kim Cattrall, David Warner, Christopher Plummer, and Iman.

After the poor response to the fifth film ,  Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country  proved to be a wonderful send-off for the original cast. Not only did it bring closure to the battles between Kirk and his crew and the Klingons, but it also bridged the original series and  The Next Generation .  Star Trek VI  looks beautiful on this new 4K edition, which also includes the film on Blu-ray, along with a code for a digital copy. The extras from past editions were ported over too.

Now this was more like it: Coming off Star Trek V ’s tepid box office performance and poor reviews, Nicholas Meyer returned to writing and directing duties to send the original cast off with a flourish. Taking a cue from the history found in Earth’s 20th century, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country finds our heroes grappling with a new galactic order in which the Federation tries to make peace with the Klingon Empire.

As in real life, however, not everyone on both sides is on board with the idea, and galactic peace is threatened when the Klingon Chancellor is murdered before the peace talks and Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy are found guilty of the crime in a Klingon court. While Kirk is not 100% on board with the idea of a peace treaty with the Klingons, he’s dismayed to find that his old friend Spock is part of the group advocating for the move.

Given the Star Trek: The Next Generation TV show’s move to make the Klingons allies of the Federation in the 100-plus years after the adventures of the original crew, it made sense to cap this era of the franchise in this way. As Kirk points out at least once in this film, a Klingon murdered his son, so it’s understandably hard for him to get past that resentment and work with his former enemies.

While Kirk’s comrades are mostly on board with that view, Spock, with his cold logic, is the one who understands that it’s inevitable that the two sides put their differences aside. An explosion on a Klingon moon threatens to render their home planet uninhabitable within a few decades, so the Federation needs to show some compassion and extend an olive branch. As Spock notes, only former US President Richard Nixon could go to China.

The cast is in fine form in this one, with Christopher Plummer joining them to gleefully chew the scenery as Klingon general Chang, David Warner coming onboard to provide a more measured presence as the Klingon chancellor, and a pre- Sex and the City Kim Cattrall assuming the role of the Vulcan Valeris. Meyer’s script, which he wrote with Denny Martin Flinn, is on par with the Star Trek IV script that he collaborated on.

As with Meyer’s Star Trek II , there’s a Director’s Cut of this film, and it’s included here along with the theatrical version. Like the second film, though, there aren’t major differences in the longer version, although I have read that it’s now cropped at the proper aspect ratio, unlike previous home video editions.

And, of course, Paramount remastered The Undiscovered Country for 4K, capping off the original cast’s movies in as close to theatrical quality as you can get on a disc these days. Unlike Star Trek V , ILM was onboard to do the effects for this one, and the 4K remaster really enhances their quality.

This edition features the both versions of the film on the 4K disc, while the included Blu-ray only has the theatrical edition. There’s also a code for a digital copy. The studio ported over the bonus features from past home video releases, which include:

• Theatrical cut audio commentary with Meyer and Flinn: Among many other things, the director and his screenwriting partner talk about the real world parallels with the plot of this film, the progression from the first draft of the script to the final one, and how they sought to fit this installment into the overall Trek mythos. I found it interesting that Meyer still sees himself as a Trek outsider, despite the outsized impact he had on the original cast’s film series.

• Theatrical cut audio commentary with Trek expert Larry Nemecek and writer Ira Steven Behr: This is an interesting chat that actually digs into the film’s flaws a bit, without, of course, engaging in the kinds of rants that are all over the Internet.

• Director’s cut text commentary with Michael and Denise Okuda: Found only on the 4K platter, this is a trivia-filled track that’s sure to be of interest to many Trekkies.

• Library Computer: This is an extra found on other Trek discs too. It allows you to watch the movie and press the Enter button on your remote at various points to read various bits of information about the characters, Trek ’s technology, and more. You can also go straight into an index and browse through all of the information without watching the film again.

•  The Perils of Peacemaking  (26.5 minutes): While “Only Nixon could go to China” was an iconic line from this film, Star Trek VI was made as the old Soviet Union was falling apart, so this featurette is a great opportunity to dig into that history. Meyer and Nimoy are joined by Georgetown University professor Dr. Angela Stent and Ambassador Dennis Ross as the four discuss the parallels between fiction and reality.

•  Stories from Star Trek VI  (57 minutes): Composed of six featurettes that come with a handy “play all” option, this is a solid documentary that covers the making of the film from beginning to end, with comments from many members of the cast and crew. The final featurette, Farewell & Good-bye , is a nice send-off of the original cast. (Having the film’s closing credits begin with the cast’s signatures was a really nice touch too.)

• The Star Trek Universe (76.75 minutes): This is a group of eight featurettes that cover everything from Nicholas Meyer’s thoughts on being part of Trek to a real world production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet in Klingon. (If you’re not aware, there’s a great line in the movie where Plummer’s character talks about reading Shakespeare “in the original Klingon.”) There’s also an in-depth look at the Klingons throughout the movies and TV shows, some fun trivia about Star Trek VI supporting cast members who popped up in other Trek productions, and a tour of the Undiscovered Country props found in the Paramount archives.

•  DeForest Kelley: A Tribute  (13 minutes): The actor had passed away a few years before Star Trek VI was released on DVD, so this was a timely tribute then. It’s still nice to look back on him, of course, but it does make me wish Paramount had created new extras to commemorate the cast members who have died since then.

• Original interviews (43.5 minutes): William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, Walter Koenig, and model Iman (she has a small role in the film) appear in archival interviews shot in 1991, as the film was hitting theaters. It’s a nice time capsule view of how the cast members felt then; interestingly, all of the interviews are similar in length, so no one gets shortchanged.

Rounding off the platter, we find a production gallery, storyboards for four scenes, the teaser and theatrical trailer, and a 4.75-minute presentation by Meyer that was used to hype the film at conventions in 1991.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country: 4K UHD Review

Posted on September 5, 2022 by popcornnights in DVD/BLU-RAY REVIEWS // 0 Comments

star trek vi the undiscovered country 4k review

I am pretty confident that if you ask any fan of the original cast Star Trek films, they were thrilled in the early 90’s that their beloved Starship Enterprise crew got to embark on one last voyage before retirement. Nobody wanted The Final Frontier to be the how things ended off. Thankfully, Wrath of Kahn director Nicholas Meyers returned for The Undiscovered Country , which turned out to be a fitting farewell for the cast.

While some of the film’s politics are a bit too in your face at times, it is the political thriller aspects of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country that I found most engaging. After getting way to spiritual with the previous film, I loved the whole murder mystery route that was taken here. Two great cast additions here are Kim Cattrall as Spock’s Vulcan protégé Valeris and Christopher Plummer as the Klingon villain Chang. Each of them brings something unique to their characters, while Plummer is obviously having fun with the meaty role.

While the differences between them are minor, the new 4K UHD includes both the theatrical and director’s cut of the film. Presented in 2160pm Dolby Vision with HDR10, we get another beautiful transfer from Paramount. This is definitely the best-looking release of the original six films. Part of that has to do with it being the most recent, originally released in 1991. The other being that it was shot on Super35. While some of the CGI looks quite dated (floating Klingon blood being the most obvious), the rest of the film looks stunning. Once again, the Dolby TrueHD 7.1 audio has been ported over from the 2009 Blu-ray but that is not an issue because it still sounds fantastic.

If you are a Trekker and looking to upgrade to 4K, you won’t go wrong with The Undiscovered Country or the previous films in the series.

star trek vi the undiscovered country 4k review

Now streaming on:

At the end their signatures are written large across the screen: William Shatner , Leonard Nimoy , DeForest Kelley and the others who have been playing the crew of the Starship Enterprise for the past 25 years. The implication is that the original voyage of “ Star Trek ” has come to an end--that the characters and players of the first television series and the six “Star Trek” movies will now go where no “Star Trek” actor has gone before, into retirement, and that if there is another “Star Trek” movie it will star, perhaps, the cast of TV’s “Star Trek” The Next Generation.”

I am not so sure, however. This sixth “Star Trek” film has so much more life and interest than the dreary “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier” that perhaps it will tempt Paramount into still another story for Captain Kirk and his crew (perhaps a training voyage for the new generation?). “Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country” begins, as so many “Star Trek” stories do, with a story set in the future but parallel to contemporary developments. In this case, as the Klingon empire begins to self-destruct after a Chernoble-type explosion on one of its moons, the obvious reference is to the disintegration of the Russian empire.

As the Klingons sue for peace, the Enterprise is assigned to go out to the edges of Federation space and negotiate with them. Captain Kirk is bitterly reluctant; he doesn’t believe the Klingons can be trusted, ever. But Mr. Spock informs him of an alleged ancient Vulcan proverb: “Only Nixon can go to China.”

There are a lot of lines like that in the script by Nicholas Meyer and Denny Martin Flinn, and a lot of lines by Shakespeare, too, who supplies not only the movie’s subtitle but also many references from “Hamlet” and elsewhere (“He is better in the original Klingon,” one of the enemy snorts.) At one point two of the supporting actors, the distinguished Shakespearians David Warner and Christopher Plummer , seem to be trading familiar quotations instead of dialog, but the strange thing is, it’s effective; in its pop-culture way, “Star Trek” has taken on a kind of epic quality over the years, and such references help establish the notion that the story really does take place in a future that remembers the past.

If the dialog is from Shakespeare, the plot seems borrowed more from an old British country house mystery; one or more disloyal members of the Enterprise crew fire on a Klingon star cruiser and then port themselves on board to murder those who have come to ask for peace. Through plot complications that would have made Agatha Christie proud, the clues to the identify of the killers depend on bloody boots and bootprints, and figuring out who was where, and when.

“Star Trek” has always been more allegory than science fiction. There is a kind of integrity, indeed, in the deliberately low-tech sets; the movies have always remained true to the klutzy art direction of the TV series, and in a post-”2001” and “Star Wars” age the bridge of the Enterprise still looks as if it were made out of old Captain Video props and a 1950s housewares show.

It doesn’t matter, because the movies aren’t really based on sets, or even much on action; they’re about ideas and relationships and here we see the old friendships of the Enterprise tested, and hear new versions of the same old jokes about how Vulcans don’t understand jokes. It’s entertaining, and reassuring.

Why on earth (or anywhere else) would Paramount want to retire this crew, which is as familiar and comforting as old family friends, and which does its job with the effortless grace of long familiarity? In Shakespeare, the “undiscovered country” is death. And elsewhere trhe bard refers to one who dies as being like an actor who goes off to “study a long silence.” I don’t know if that will work here. I doubt frankly that the crew of the Enterprise can stop talking long enough to die.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Plot Summary

On the eve of retirement, Kirk and McCoy are charged with assassinating the Klingon High Chancellor and imprisoned. The Enterprise crew must help them escape to thwart a conspiracy aimed at sabotaging the last best hope for peace. (from IMDb)

Film Review

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country marks the final time the cast of the original Star Trek TV series appeared together on screen. As a send-off, the movie is an excellent way to say goodbye to one of the most iconic ensembles ever assembled for TV. After the disappointing fifth entry, The Final Frontier , just two years earlier, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country sets out to retire the USS Enterprise's original crew with one last voyage.

star trek vi the undiscovered country 4k review

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is an excellent send-off for the beloved crew of the USS Enterprise. While a select few cast members appear in 1994's Star Trek: Generations (and Nimoy's Spock appears twice in the later reboot movies), this is the last official adventure for the Original Series team. As such, it's a satisfying conclusion to their story and a memorable one at that.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Storyline: our reviewer's take.

"You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read it in the original Klingon." After the abject failure of 'Star Trek V: The Final Frontier,' everyone associated with the franchise knew that they had a limited window of opportunity to set things right. The series' original cast was rapidly aging beyond the point of plausibly carrying another big sci-fi adventure, yet nobody wanted 'The Final Frontier' to be their swan song. Also, 'Star Trek' was approaching its 25th Anniversary, and that was a promotional opportunity too good to pass up. Paramount greenlit another film. Leonard Nimoy, who'd be Executive Producing the next entry, approached 'Wrath of Khan' director Nicholas Meyer. Together, they developed a story idea in which the longstanding conflict between Starfleet and the Klingon Empire would function as a political allegory for the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

'Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country' opens with a (literal) bang. On a routine scientific expedition, the starship Excelsior is rocked by an energy shockwave originating from a massive explosion near the Klingon homeworld. It turns out that the Klingons' chief energy production facility on their moon of Praxis has experienced a Chernobyl-style disaster. The alien race initially refuses Federation help, but is soon forced to admit that their empire is crumbling in the wake of economic ruin and public unrest. Their current leader, Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner, who had last appeared as a human in 'Star Trek V'), initiates talks to end hostilities with the Federation. A new age of Glasnost (however that may translate in Klingon) is emerging.

As their first olive branch, Starfleet assigns its flagship, the U.S.S. Enterprise, to greet the Chancellor and escort him to a peace conference. Captain Kirk, whose son was murdered by Klingons, grudgingly accepts the assignment and attempts to suppress his deep-seated prejudice against the species. He assumes that an awkward diplomatic dinner will be the hardest part of the mission. But then, inexplicably, the Enterprise appears to open fire on the Klingon vessel without his authorization. General Chang (Christopher Plummer), the Chancellor's hard-line second-in-command, has Kirk and McCoy arrested and put on trial for war crimes. While that happens, Spock and his new Vulcan protégé, Valeris (Kim Cattrall), must search the Enterprise to root out a conspiracy attempting to disrupt the peace process.

Though I hadn't been too impressed with Meyer's script for the series' fourth movie, 'The Undiscovered Country' is a welcome and much needed return to form for the 'Trek' franchise. The man who made 'Wrath of Khan' is back at the top of his game. The film incorporates not just the expected sci-fi action, but also elements of political thriller, murder mystery, courtroom drama, and prison camp escape movie. Somehow, they mesh beautifully with all the spaceships, photon torpedoes, and latex makeup.

The director keeps the pacing snappy and the production values high. Desperate not to repeat the laughable special effects from 'Star Trek V' (which had been outsourced to the lowest bidder), the wizards at Industrial Light & Magic were brought back into the fold. Their work here returns to the franchise's previous standard. The shockwave blast from the Praxis explosion proved so influential that the visual (thereafter known as the "Praxis Effect") was later reused in numerous sci-fi movies, including George Lucas' wretched 'Star Wars Special Editions.' In his most ambitious sequence, Meyer stages a zero-gravity assault inside the Klingon ship. The CG globules of floating blood were quite impressive in their day (if a little dated now), as were the morphing effects (all the rage at the time) of a shapeshifting alien played by model/actress Iman.

Gone is any of the goofy comic relief that had plagued the last two installments. 'Star Trek VI' has a focused and thematically-rich screenplay with crackling dialogue and multi-dimensional characterizations. Plummer's Shakespeare-spouting Chang is a juicy villain. In a nice touch, the often underutilized Sulu, who coveted after the Excelsior in 'Star Trek IV,' has been promoted to captain of that ship, and plays a critical role in the movie's climax. The rest of the main cast, who'd been really showing their ages in recent entries, seem especially spry and energized here, no doubt responding to the better material they had to work with.

Acknowledging that this was to be the original crew's last adventure, the film has many themes of retirement, outliving one's usefulness, passing of the torch, and death, all handled eloquently and with proper respect. Wrapping up 25 years in their company, 'Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country' makes a very classy send-off for our beloved heroes of the starship Enterprise.

The Blu-ray: Vital Disc Stats

'Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country' is available on Blu-ray exclusively as part of the ' Star Trek: Original Motion Picture Collection ' box set from Paramount Home Entertainment.

The Blu-ray marks the first time that the film's 110-minute theatrical cut has been released on home video. All previous VHS, laserdisc, and DVD editions of the movie offered only the 113-minute 'Director's Cut'. (The Blu-ray packaging lists the 113-min. length in error.) That longer version added a few extra character and plot moments that were fairly worthwhile, but also a rather silly 'Scooby Doo'-style revelation at the end that really wasn't. On balance, the theatrical cut works better. The Blu-ray only contains the theatrical cut, not the 'Director's Cut.'

Annoyingly, every single disc in the set automatically starts with a very loud trailer for the 2009 'Star Trek' feature film and an ad for the Blu-ray release of ' Star Trek: The Original Series – Season 1 ' before the main menu.

Video Review

As I wrap up the final review of the 'Original Motion Picture Collection,' it strikes me just how differently each movie in the box set looks than all the others. Most of them have some issues, and 'The Undiscovered Country' is no exception, but no two are quite alike.

In addition to being the first home video release of the movie's theatrical cut, the Blu-ray is also the first time that it's appeared in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio. 'Star Trek VI' is the only 'Trek' picture to date photographed using the Super 35 format. For previous video editions, director Nicholas Meyer instructed that the mattes be lifted off the top and bottom, exposing some extra picture information for an aspect ratio of approximately 2:1. I guess he felt that the theatrical framing was too tight. The mattes have been put back in place for the Blu-ray. To my eye, the framing looks perfectly fine here, and too loose on the earlier DVD.

Despite all these firsts, the Blu-ray is quite obviously sourced from an older master. I assume that it's either an old broadcast master for the theatrical cut, or that Paramount has simply edited their DVD master to take out the 'Director's Cut' bits, and then applied electronic blanking to the top and bottom.

Of its positive aspects, the 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 transfer is quite sharp and detailed. It exhibits a more consistent high-def appearance than some of the earlier entries (notably ' Star Trek IV '). It also has nice depth and dimensionality, and vivid colors. That blue-skinned alien in the mining camp really pops off the screen.

Unfortunately, Digital Noise Reduction is once again a problem. Facial features sometimes take on a rubbery texture (though not as severely as ' Star Trek III ') and grain patterns freeze in place (still, not as badly as ' Star Trek V '). Yet, even with overzealous Noise Reduction, the picture is still very noisy, especially in shadow areas. At the time of this movie's production, Super 35 was known for being a grainy film process. It appears that the grain left after DNR has not been well digitized, and comes across blocky and electronic. Some edge enhancement ringing is visible, no doubt added to sharpen the picture back up after it was softened by the DNR. The transfer is also riddled with aliasing in fine details, which point to it being sourced from a 1080i master that's been deinterlaced at the studio.

Although certainly better than the older DVD, the video on 'Star Trek VI' is another mixed bag, some positive qualities balanced by some negatives. I wish that all of the last four movies in the box set could have lived up to the standard of the first two.

Audio Review

The lossless Dolby TrueHD 7.1 audio sounds pretty good, though I have to admit that I expected a little more from it. The opening explosion of the Praxis moon ought to slam the soundstage with thunderous bass, but instead is only a fair rumble. Likewise, the shockwave barraging Excelsior is reasonably aggressive in surround activity (more so than most films in the series), but still seems a bit subdued.

In other respects, Cliff Eidelman's resonant score is reproduced with satisfying fidelity. Sound effects are crisp and suitably loud. Phaser blasts and photon torpedoes deliver the desired impact. The surround channels are pretty active overall.

This is a solid soundtrack, if not quite an exceptional one.

A few scenes in the movie have subtitled alien dialogue. The subtitles are all contained within the Scope movie image, and are safe for viewing on 2.35:1 Constant Image Height projection screens.

Special Features

The Blu-ray carries over almost everything from the 2-disc Special Collector's Edition DVD released in 2004.

  • Audio Commentary by Nicholas Meyer & Denny Martin Flinn – The writer/director and co-writer deliver a good talk about the movie's political themes, story development, and Shakespearian influences. Meyer claims that it is his "blissful ignorance" of 'Star Trek' that allows him to be so successful at making these movies. Also of interest is the fact that the Valeris character was initially planned to be Saavik. This commentary originally appeared on the longer 'Director's Cut' of the film, and has presumably been edited here to fit the theatrical cut.
  • The Perils of Peacemaking (SD, 27 min.) – An examination of the political allegory at the heart of this movie, and the many metaphors to the collapse of the U.S.S.R.
  • Stories from Star Trek VI (SD, 57 min.) – A very good making-of documentary that covers all aspects of production from story development to the photography, music, and visual effects. The producers describe reeling from the failure of 'Star Trek V.' and their aborted plans for a movie about young Kirk and Spock (which finally came to fruition in 2009, long after these interviews were recorded). Gene Roddenberry disliked the tone of the script, but was screened a completed cut of the film just prior to his death and reportedly was happy with it.
  • Conversations with Nicholas Meyer (SD, 10 min.) – The director discusses his philosophies toward storytelling and directing.
  • Klingons: Conjuring the Legend (SD, 21 min.) – A look at the evolution of the fictional race, from its first appearances in 'The Original Series' as swarthy villains to its later depiction as a culture steeped in ritual and honor. Of course, the significant design changes in their makeup is also covered.
  • Federation Operatives (SD, 5 min.) – Profiles of several actors who have appeared in various incarnations of 'Star Trek' multiple times in different roles. For some reason, 'The Original Series' doesn't get a lot of coverage.
  • Penny's Toy Box (SD, 6 min.) – The Paramount archivist delivers a tour of 'Trek' props and costumes.
  • Together Again (SD, 5 min.) – Christopher Plummer explains his long friendship with William Shatner prior to 'Trek.'
  • DeForest Kelley: A Tribute (SD, 13 min.) – Remembrances of the late actor, focused on his professionalism, generosity, and good humor.
  • Original Interviews (SD, 44 min.) – Vintage on-set interviews with William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, Walter Keonig, and Iman. Nichols tells a good story about meeting Martin Luther King, Jr., who talked her into staying on the show.
  • Trailers (SD, 4 min.) – Two trailers requesting that viewers join for "one last adventure." The teaser, which incorporates a montage of clips going back to 'The Original Series,' is excellent.
  • 1991 Convention Presentation by Nicholas Meyer (SD, 5 min.) – The director, wearing a stunning ensemble including jean jacket and silly tie, introduces a brief sneak peek at the movie for convention audiences.
  • Production Gallery (SD, 3 min.) – A montage of behind-the-scenes B-roll footage.
  • Storyboards – Artwork for four scenes.

HD Bonus Content: Any Exclusive Goodies in There?

The Blu-ray also includes several new features.

Will Work in Any Blu-ray Player

  • Audio Commentary by Larry Nemecek & Ira Steven Behr – So, who are these guys? Apparently, one is an author of 'Trek' books, and the other was a producer on 'Deep Space Nine.' Neither has any direct connection to this movie, but that hasn't been an issue on other commentaries in this box set (most of which are fascinating). However, these two men are just annoying, and their chatter grows quickly tiresome. Also, the volume level of the track is set too low.
  • Library Computer – A very cool interactive graphic trivia interface loaded with screen-specific information about just about every aspect of the 'Star Trek' universe. The track is overflowing with data that pours out at a steady clip.
  • Tom Morga: Alien Stuntman (HD, 5 min.) – The stuntman, who has played many alien characters throughout the franchise, describes the challenges of working in heavy makeup.
  • To Be or Not to Be: Klingons and Shakespeare (HD, 23 min.) – A theater group in St. Paul, MN put on a stage production of 'Hamlet' entirely in Klingon. Trekkies will no doubt find the concept amusing, but getting through 20 minutes of it is a challenge.
  • Starfleet Academy SciSec Brief 006: Praxis (HD, 3 min.) – The sixth (and hopefully final) in a series of ultra-cheesy plot recaps hosted as though they were Starfleet instructional videos.
  • Star Trek: The Captain's Summit (HD, 71 min.) – Disc 7 of the Blu-ray set holds a roundtable discussion between William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Patrick Stewart, and Jonathan Frakes. Whoopi Goldberg (who played Guinan in 'The Next Generation') hosts. Stewart is rocking a mustache for some reason. The group have an entertaining conversation about the 'Star Trek' legacy, the franchise's effect on science and sci-fi, and their personal contributions. Both Stewart and Frakes admit that they didn't know much about 'Star Trek' prior to being cast on 'The Next Generation,' and share fun stories about their hatred of the spandex costumes. When asked by Stewart what he thought of their show, Shatner claims to have never watched an episode. Even Nimoy is aghast at that. Despite a 71-minute length, this 'Captain's Summit' is an extremely fun watch that flies by in a breeze. I wish it could have been even longer.

The Cutting Room Floor: What Didn't Make the Blu-ray?

The only item missing from the 2-disc Special Collector's Edition DVD released in 2004 is the text trivia commentary by Michael and Denise Okuda. The information in that track was mostly consolidated into the new Library Computer feature.

Final Thoughts

The 'Star Trek: Original Motion Picture Collection' contains six feature films and an almost overwhelming volume of supplemental content, both old and new. Although the video quality of some of the later movies in the set is a bit uneven, all are significant improvements over their old DVD editions. Even with its high list price, the set is an easy recommendation for fans.

'Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country' is a welcome return to form after the failure of 'Star Trek V,' and a worthy swan song for the original Enterprise crew. Too bad the producers couldn't resist bringing Kirk back for the disappointing 'Star Trek: Generations,' but we'll get to that in a future review. It stands to reason that Paramount will eventually re-release the film in its longer 'Director's Cut' form. How long that will take, I can't say. To be honest, the theatrical cut is superior, if only for the removal of the dumb plot twist at the end. Even so, this Blu-ray's video quality is problematic. I would welcome any excuse for a fresh remaster. The audio is pretty good, though, and the disc has plenty of bonus features.

Yes! First day buy. I watched the Blu-ray a few nights ago. it's no slouch in the A/V quality department and the Special Features are excellent.  

Hey Ralph. Have you gotten any intel on whether the new 4K individual Star Trek movies are going to be any different in terms of quality from the ones in the box set (namely Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock and Voyage Home).

Each Trek movie has something different to offer, but this one seems to me the most like a theatrical-scale version of the best Trek. It's about the Enterprise as a ship and crew working within the larger story of galactic politics, compared to the more personal Kirk story of ST II-IV. Then again, this was also one of the first movies I saw on a big screen; no doubt that will always make it more significant to me. Still haven't decided if I'm going to pick up the whole set, but VI is an easy pick.

JamHandMan said: We all know they are going to release a set that also includes the TNG movies so I'm tempted to wait........ but also tempted to get the first six movies... lol Click to expand...

Well, given what happened when they remastered TNG for Blu-Ray (it didn't do well, and it's believed it never made up the cost of the transfer, so CBS abandoned plans for further remasters), I'm sure the better the movies and 6 disc set do, the better the TNG set will be, otherwise we'll just get the old discs reissued. I think I should pick up the 6 disc set. If anything I really want a 4k remaster of First Contact. Damn your lower Decks for reminding me that movie was one of the best..

Upon reading about "The Collection" version, it states it is both HDR-10 and Dolby Vision. I thought it had to be one or the other, either HDR or DV. Can anyone explain? Thanks.

CKeeler said: HDR10 is the base layer. Dolby Vision is built upon that. Just like Dolby digital is the base audio layer underneath Dolby Atmos. Click to expand...

From RTings.com Backwards Compatibility Both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision are backward-compatible with static HDR formats on Ultra HD Blu-rays, so if you're watching older HDR content, you won't have to worry about which format it's in as your new TV will be able to display it. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are both backward-compatible, but they use different technology to build upon older HDR formats. HDR10+ adds dynamic metadata to HDR10 content, so if an HDR10+ TV needs to display HDR10 content, it does so without the dynamic metadata. Dolby Vision is more complicated because it can use any static HDR format as a 'base layer' and build from it. Because it builds from static metadata, Dolby Vision TVs can read the static metadata alone, making it backward-compatible. All Blu-ray discs need to use HDR10 as a static metadata layer. It means that it's backward-compatible with any TV; if it's a Dolby Vision disc and your TV only supports HDR10+, it'll play the movie in HDR10 instead. However, the same can't be said about streaming content because a Dolby Vision movie on Netflix might not carry the HDR10 base layer, so if your TV doesn't support Dolby Vision, it will simply play in SDR instead. HDR10 vs HDR10+ vs Dolby Vision: Which is better? - RTINGS.com  

This movie brings back memories, and in particular my 1st generation A-V gear. I remember getting the laser disc, as the 'ultimate' in video quality, skipping the pan and scan version for the widescreen version. The opening scene with the energy wave hitting the Excelsior was the 'reference' audio track I would demo when friends came over. Plummer and Shatner were friends decades before, as Shatner was Plummers understudy and considered Canada's leading Shakespearian actors. taH pagh, taH be.....  

Just watched this one last night. Still my favorite of the original cast. The video seemed pretty grainy. I had to mess with my Sony OLED settings to tone down some of the grain, but then it would be just as dark as the Star Wars 4k copies. The starship shots were the best looking parts of the movie. I love me some Enterprise money shots. This is the biggest thing that I've noticed about movies 1-10 and the series from the original through Voyager, they respect the ships as if they are another character in the story. The reboot movies just don't respect the ships. If this had actually had a good 4k scan of the original film it probably could have matched or possibly outshone The Motion Picture. The sound was good if a bit shrill sometimes. Low end only came in a few times. It was really cool when the low end came in for the Enterprise departing from Space dock. What I did notice was how they tried to mix the orchestral elements. It was across the entire front soundstage, including the center. Specific instruments were placed in specific channels across the front. Some mixed in with the side surrounds to create a wider soundstage, just not as good as The Motion Picture 4k. The issues I noticed with the score seemed to fade into the back ground after the opening credits. Overall, a great presentation, if lacking a bit of refinement on Paramount's part. Then again, who's going to actually be able to convince Paramount they should have put more effort into restoring movies 2-6? Or even restore DS9 and Voyager for Bluray?

Critic Reviews for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Audience reviews for star trek vi: the undiscovered country.

Star Trek's attempt at a murder mystery/political thriller. Story was the idea of Leonard Nimoy's and the entire movie seems pretty flat until the end when the crew of the Enterprise has to race to stop an assassination. Guess the entire original cast needed one big send off before the Next Generation cast took the torch.

star trek vi the undiscovered country 4k review

The Star Trek series has had its fair share of ups and downs with the previous 5 films, but luckily 'The Undiscovered Country' rights some of the wrongs of past entries all while presenting a fitting finale to the original crew's story. The film sees the return of the entire original Enterprise crew for one last ride. Much like the previous 5 films, it developed its own distinct story. Instead of saving wales, the crew were thrust into a mystery surrounding the death of the Klingon leader. The mystery behind why Kirk and Bones were charged with his murder is really what I appreciated most about the film. Instead of a largely comedic take or a space bound CGI fest, it was grounded with real mystery leaving the enterprise crew with one last epic task. Now the mystery doesn't necessarily last all that long if you realize how the film set up the story, but that also doesn't take away from the execution. As cheesy as the last 15 minutes are, it's hard not to feel a rush of emotion and a great sense of finality. I also appreciated how they took the Klingon side of things and brought it full circle as Kirk's regret and anger towards his son's death definitely plays a role. Even amongst the heavy mystery, we do get some great space action with improved visuals the 3rd act. As much as I think there have been much better entries in the series, The Undiscovered Country is about as fitting of a send-off for Shatner and crew as any Trek fan could have asked for. With an added intelligent script with important themes explored within the context of an epic conclusion, there's more than enough good material for fans and non-fans alike. +Satisfying conclusion +Mystery centric +Involvement of the Klingons -Cheesy -Some clumsy elements 7.2/10

After the somewhat lacking The Final Frontier, The Undiscovered Country manages to retain a new found vigor in storytelling in the franchise. I found this film to be the best since the Wrath of Kahn and it was a well crafted Science Fiction film that had a vibe that this one had something to prove. Although I didn't mind the previous film in the franchise, I felt that there was something missing. With this entry, the filmmakers manage to deliver a picture that adds what was missing, and it's an exciting, thrilling feature that has a good story, effective performances and memorable thrills. The Undiscovered Country is a much more refined sequel, one that is a return to form of the first few films, and in doing so, the filmmakers also add much needed depth to the story, which makes for a truly interesting film. This is a highly engaging film, one that is sure to delight fans of the franchise as well as genre fans. Considering that this is a sixth entry, the film manages to work well to entertain viewers and offer everything you'd expect from a Star Trek film. I think that this is one of the strongest efforts in the franchise, and not since the second film, has a film in this series been this good. The film may not be perfect, but it's nonetheless worthwhile entertainment for viewers that want an effective and memorable Science Fiction film to watch. There are plenty of good moments to be had here, and The Undiscovered Country is a strong entry in the franchise, and like I've said, one of the best since The Wrath of Kahn. With great effects, good performances, a well developed script, this film is a highly entertaining film going experience, one that is sure to entertain you from start to finish.

When Praxis, the Klingon moon and site of their energy production facility, explodes, the Klingons decide they must come to a peaceful agreement with the United Federation of Planets in order to survive. Much to his chagrin, Kirk (Shatner) is ordered to take the Enterprise to meet with Gorkon (Warner), the Klingon High Chancellor, and escort him to Earth to begin negotiating peace. After sharing a meal with the Klingons, someone on the Enterprise fires torpedoes at Gorkon's battlecruiser, disabling the anti-gravity mechanism. Two assassins in Starfleet suits, equipped with gravity boots, beam aboard and kill Gorkon. When Kirk and McCoy (Kelley) beam aboard to explain they weren't responsible, the Klingons refuse to listen, placing the pair on trial for Gorkon's murder. The original series of 'Star Trek' was known for tackling the contemporary issues of the day through a science fiction filter. While 'The Voyage Home' had addressed environmental issues, it did so in a blatant manner rather than an allegorical one. For the sixth film, Leonard Nimoy suggested a plot-line which would mirror the ending of the cold war, as the Berlin wall had just come down in 1989. The relationship between the Federation and the Klingons had always been a thinly veiled allegory of that of the U.S and U.S.S.R so it made sense to now bring the onscreen cold war to an end. With the preceding three movies directed by Nimoy and Shatner, the director of the series' best installment, 'Wrath of Khan', Nicholas Meyer, was brought back. As a result, this movie has a level of class that had been absent from Nimoy and Shatner's work. Despite working with the same level of budget, Meyer's film looks like a much larger scale movie, utilizing the relatively modest sets (many of which were borrowed from 'The Next Generation') to great effect. It's a shame Meyer never went on to bigger things as few of today's Hollywood directors have either his talent or integrity. Should you ever get the chance to listen to one of his DVD commentaries, I thoroughly recommend it, as he provides some great insights into the story-telling process. This was the final film to feature the original crew in its entirety and, although he would return in a reduced role in the next installment, Shatner really milks his screen time here, putting in a tour de force like only he can. Kirk had fought himself in the original series and does so again here, thanks to the shape-shifting alien played by Iman. The dialogue here references the actor's notorious ego as Kirk exclaims "I can't believe I kissed you", only for his adversary to reply "Must have been your life's ambition!". The legendary Plummer is fantastic as the Klingon, Chang, replete with an eyepatch nailed into his skull. Cattrall, relatively unknown at this point, is perfectly cast as a deceitful Vulcan. Youthful composer, Cliff Eidelman, took over soundtrack duties, providing one of the series' best. The opening credits theme is a rousing riff on Gustav Holst's 'The Planets', at Meyer's suggestion. There's little reference to previous Trek themes as Meyer wanted the score to feel like a "fresh start". This is the sort of Hollywood movie that's all too rare now, fun without being dumb, involving without being convoluted. It's a shame the cast found themselves at an age too advanced to be taken seriously any longer as, under Meyer's guidance, this film feels like a new beginning, with Trek just hitting its stride as a big-screen franchise. Although 'Generations' ends the story-line of Kirk, it's 'The Undiscovered Country' which really acts as a farewell to the original crew. A fitting farewell.
