Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Wiz RECOMMENDS Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Ending the six film arc of the adventures of Kirk, Spock and the crew of the USS Enterprise, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is the closest to reaching the quality of what Wrath of Khan had. Which shouldn't be too much of a surprise: this film is directed by the person who oversaw Khan. The film does an excellent job mixing different types of genres into its story: there's comedy, action, political intrigue, suspense, revenge. And it's all mixed so well that it never leaves you bored or wondering when a scene is going to end. The film also makes the investment of watching the previous four movies feel so satisfying as it culminates on the relationships and events that happened in those films. Sometimes they are just mere mentions as easter eggs; other times it fits right into the plot. The sole issue with the film, which is why it isn't exactly as good as Khan, is that the eventual reveal of the villain is quite underwhelming. Not only is it not revealed compellingly, but it's also fairly obvious when the cards are finally shown. Part of what made Khan so great was the villain and while the film hides the identity most of the film, it's still an element that could have been done better. But again, as an end to the film series featuring the original cast, The Undiscovered Country is a great time and a fitting end to the six film arc.
