Nicholas Meyer turned the first-generation death knell into a pretty decent detective story, set in a time when the Klingons are forced by circumstances to negotiate peace with the Federation. And that there is no need to emphasize to insiders that they are not particularly rearing to get it done... However, will is also lacking on the other side - Captain Kirk has a very painful experience with the Klingons that he does not abandon. Klingon negotiator Gorkon eventually falls victim to the conspiracies and manipulations, and Captain Kirk and ship McCoy are convicted of his murder by the Klingon authorities. Everything testifies against them and the Enterprise, and the key to the case are two lost uniforms and two pairs of magnetic boots. Mr. Spock takes on the role of the man with the pipe, while the convicts try to escape from a ruthless prison. It’s definitely not a bad spectacle, it's just a bit lengthy and sometimes too forthcoming. Nevertheless, everything is exciting and in the end properly touching and typically funny (Spock's final message is definitely worth it). It’s not nearly as good as The Wrath of Khan, but The Undiscovered Country is one of the better Star Trek film productions.

Politics, mistrust, betrayal, and a detective story. In the last adventure of the old crew of Star Trek, it became a regular drama with everything including a prison asteroid, melancholic self-reflection of the main heroes, or William Shatner getting it on. Such an attempt to elevate the series to a "more dignified" level is even more appealing because the spectacularly nostalgic ending was not far from a genuine heartwarming happy ending.

A nice, nostalgic episode that didn't necessarily thrill me, but when it ended, I found myself moved. These are characters that you grow to love, which is what happened. The last film with the old crew, and never again. Given that three of the cast members have passed away, it truly is a sad farewell, one that must have the right effect on fans of the original series.
