Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country 4K 1991 Ultra HD 2160p

Story Movie

After the explosion of Praxis, one of the moons of Kronos, which destroyed almost all of the Klingons' livelihoods, the conflict between the Federation and the Klingon Empire ended. It's time for peace talks, but as it turns out, not everyone wants peace - some are satisfied with unceasing war.

Kirk and his loyal crew, already "five minutes retired," are given the secret assignment to conduct the first, preparatory round of peace talks with the Chancellor of the Klingon Empire. But the unexpected happens--the Klingon ship is attacked, the Chancellor is killed, the negotiations are disrupted, and the Enterprise, specifically Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy, are blamed for the atrocity.

While the top Federation officials ponder what to do, the Klingon court sentences them to imprisonment on a detached, ice-covered asteroid. But they don't give up hope--because they are Starfleet officers, and because Kirk has a mission--he has long guessed that this is a plot to derail the peace talks, and gradually he begins to uncover it.

Meanwhile, the Enterprise, commanded by Spock, secretly flies to their rescue...

Review 4K Movie

The main merits of this creation is that it is better than "The Last Frontier" (which even becomes a shame) and that it is the last one (although with a small caveat that there were at least 5 films in the series, but with other protagonists).

This time for once (at least in my memory, for the first time in the entire series) they touched on the age-old but ever-present theme of racism. No, seriously, if the people on their small planet about this ready to cut throats, then how things are in outer space, where every character is a separate civilization, but they still somehow have to get along.

Also came up with an almost always a always win-win story move, namely the transformation of negative characters (representatives of the Klingon Empire) into positive, and vice versa, and then again in a circle. In the end they got a little confused, and as a result they got a good scolding from Gene Roddenberry (a sort of local George Lucas, if that), who mysteriously passed away in a couple of days after watching this creation. The Klingons must have done their best.

Despite the fact that it's the beginning of the '90s, the atmosphere has not changed a lot, but the visuals are finally more responsible (of course I love retro and everything in that vein, but still, when the graphics in late '80s sci-fi movies looks at best the level of the mid-'70s, it's a shoddy piece of work), the special effects look pretty impressive and more often than not hurt my eyes (I can only compliment the movies for not turning into cartoons with human faces for the entire series).

As for the actors, this time they got pumped up. William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy look like they've had enough of the franchise, but they hold on and try not to screw it up, a kind of finale after all. What can not be said for the unexpected "played out" Walter Koenig, DeForest Kelly and James Dwan.

In general, the main trick of the franchise is a certain realism of events (with a strong hinge on the conventions of the genre, of course), the action develops in the same rhythm (and what did you want from a space walker?), without neglecting the elementary laws of logic and physics (the latter again, given the conventions of the genre) and the psychology of the characters' behavior (visual proof of how people do not change).

But in the peculiar conclusion of the franchise (and taking into account the unimportant charges of the previous part, the output of the sequels was under serious question), these principles were little neglected, almost turning everything that happens into either an analogue of "Star Wars" or... "Bondiana" (it is even funny, that in the previous movie one of the main roles could have been played by the notorious Sean Connery). The repeated changes of the genre from thriller to dashing action-adventure film, make this movie stand out from the whole series, but it lacks the steady pace of the narration, the dynamic episodes alternate with outright drag, and the main thing - the self-irony. I can't take such a plot seriously, well, no way, though thanks for the attempt all the same.
