"Some people think the future means the end of history. Well... we haven't run out of history quite yet. Your father called the future... the undiscovered country. People can be very frightened of change." – Capt. James T. Kirk

Why watch this? To watch this wonderful farewell to the original crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Plot Summary: As peace negotiations begin between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, Capt. Kirk and Dr. McCoy are framed for the assassination of the Klingon Chancellor and imprisoned on a desolate penal colony. Meanwhile, the crew of the Enterprise races against time to uncover a conspiracy seeking to undermine the peace process and spark a galaxy-wide war. Ultimately, both Kirk's survival and the future of galactic peace depend on the Enterprise crew exposing the truth.

Dad's Preview: It is amazing that six films into this franchise, this film holds up, and kicks butt. This is the last voyage of the Enterprise, and it's a grand adventure. It would be ideal to watch films 2, 3, and 4 before this (you can skip the weak 5th film). Here our crew must uncover a sinister plot to start an intergalactic war. Kirk and McCoy are sent away to a frozen gulag planet. Spock must solve the mystery to save his friends. It certainly IS a fitting farewell. Live long and prosper.
