What They Did for Love by Denny Martin Flinn

You have General Chang egging on Kirk and Kirk rising to it while Gorkon is attempting to keep things civil as folks on both sides of the table alienate each other through misunderstanding. In this the clash between Klingon and human cultures is on full display.

The Dinner Party – The dinner party is such a fun scene. It lended weight to events especially as Spock mentions that without aid the Klingon homeworld of Qo’noS will be unhibatible in 50 years prompting the work for peace. What works about this is how there is a complete shutoff of info from the Klingon Empire and that Captain Sulu witnesses it first hand so the truth of what happened can’t truly be denied. I loved seeing Yeoman Rand’s cameo, Michael Dorn as Colonel Worf, Worf’s grandfather were two cameos that were fantastic in this film.ĭestruction of Praxis – The Destruction of Praxis was meant to mirror Chernobyl’s destruction and the ending of the Cold War with the Soviet Union. Relevant Cameos – I want to get some neat cameos out of the way upfront as most of the moments I’ll be describing are major events and characters (for the pros and cons) so without further ado. From here the story unfolds as those wanting to sabotage peace act upon events. The film was directed and co-written by Nicholas Meyer with the other screenplay writer being Denny Martin Flinn.Īfter the Klingon moon of Praxis explodes from overmining Spock reaches out for a chance for peace with the Klingon Empire, and asks for Kirk to be on his envoy. It has a few problematic that I noticed this time around, but the story, without going into spoilers, is still amazing. Suffice to say, this film still very much holds up. I love the deeper themes they explore and the rich characters who are brought to the screen.

The biggest competitor is still “Wrath of Khan” which I need to re-watch but from my memory both are so close in score. “Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country” might be my favorite film out of all the “Star Trek” films.
