Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)
♥♥♥♥♥
Beautiful film, and a beautiful ending to TOS! Good soundtrack as well! It's interesting to see Starfleet being clearly military but perhaps transitioning - influenced by Spock and other Vulcans - towards being more of peaceful organization, and the beginnings of peace between Klingons and the rest of the federation! Sad to see so many be so dominated by hate and prejudice, but at least their views are being challenged, and it's kind of a theme of the movie to overcome it. Btw. good continuity with Spock's appearances in TNG as a believer in peace! TOS crew is really a renegade crew (at least in the films), much more than the TNG crew! Those Klingons on the cruiser seem awesome! Worf appearing and doing good work! I enjoyed seeing Spock and in particular Sulu(!) in command, and hearing that Uhura is a commander as well. Apparently lifting your eyebrows is a general Vulcan trait, not just Spock. ;) :D Also Valeris is way cooler than Saavik! A new use of the mind meld I hadn't seen before. Intense! I like the change at the end from "where no MAN" to "where no ONE", as in TNG. Star Trek TOS film rankings: VI, I, IV, III, II, V
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)

Much more like an extended regular TOS episode than the first one, and the soundtrack wasn't as good IMO. (In WoK it's by James Horner while in TMP it's by Jerry Goldsmith.) Furthermore I already knew of a main event in the film and what happens in subsequent films, so I assume that makes it a lot less exciting that had I seen the film at the time of release. Anyway, it could be a 4 on a re-watch, perhaps also as a result of not having so high expectations going into it based on ratings and reviews.
