“If there is to be a brave new world, our generation is going to have the hardest time living in it.”
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country took the tension of the Cold War and tried to do what was seemingly impossible: achieve diplomacy between hostile enemies — the Klingon Empire and the Federation. Captain Kirk, in particular, would have to set his pride and his bias aside as he never forgave the Klingons for the death of his son. While Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is often held in the highest regard for the movies with the original Star Trek cast, the final voyage the full roster should not be overlooked, especially in these divided times.
Nicholas Meyer returns to direct the 1991 film that saw Kirk and crew ride off into the sun and Blu-ray.com has reported that Paramount Home Media Distribution will be releasing a new steelbook 4K Blu-ray of the movie to celebrate its 35th anniversary. William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, James Doohan and Walter Koenig all star in the film, with Kim Cattrall, Christopher Plummer and David Warner joining for this entry. The new steelbook is slated to hit retailers on December 1.
“People can be very frightened of change.“
The description reads,
“The sixth STAR TREK movie, and the last to feature a group appearance of the original television series cast, looks better than ever, boldly remastered from a 4K scan of the original film elements. After years of war, the Federation and the Klingon empire find themselves on the brink of a peace summit. Before negotiations even begin, a Klingon ship is nearly destroyed, and the apparent attack may be from the Enterprise. Now, the crew must brace for what may be their deadliest encounter. Both the original theatrical cut and the Director’s cut are included, alongside an array of special features.”
