After the nearly horrid "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" I found "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" to be a difficult movie to take seriously. The movie was enjoyable as it explored themes like racism and served as an analogy for the strained relationship between the U.S. and Soviet Union. The thing that keeps this movie down is how familiar we have become with the crew of the Enterprise. After the corny but good "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" and the aforementioned disaster that was "Star Trek V" everything that these characters do seems like a cartoon. When they have to get serious and they do get very serious in "The Undiscovered Country" I can't actually take them seriously. The balance of comedy and drama that make up the Star Trek movies and television shows sways too far to the silly side of the equation so when the crew of the Enterprise furrows their brow I just end up chuckling. That's not to say that this movie isn't good it just lacks the impact of the statement it is trying to make.
