star trek the undiscovered country director's cut

Comparison between the theatrical version (Blu-ray) and the Director's Cut (4K-UHD) - both included on Paramount's 4K/Blu-ray set.

- 11 differences - Difference: 206 sec (= 3:26 min)

Star Trek: The Motion Picture was re-released in 2002 with a really extensively reworked Director's Edition . Director Robert Wise was finally able to address many of the shortcomings of the then hastily completed theatrical version. Not as much could be corrected here as it was done again 20 years later in the again revised 4K version , but without question there are the most extensive differences between the two versions in this part of the series. In the same year, however, a "Director's Edition" of the sequel Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was also released, first in theaters and then on DVD - see our corresponding report .

Nicholas Meyer not only sat in the director's chair for Part 2, but was also allowed to take over this job in 1991 for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country . In this case, however, the studio beat him to the punch, because Paramount had already released a version of the film on VHS and laserdisc in the 90s that was slightly longer than the theatrical version. The difference in running time is mainly due to two additional scenes, which somewhat deepen a few side characters. For the Special Edition DVD in 2004, Meyer added a few short re-cuts to this already extended version during the interrogation of Lt. Valeris to people she mentioned, which gives a few more characters brief screentime. So basically, with or without these cuts, it's mostly fan service. One can also be satisfied with the theatrical version.

In this case, by the way, the scenes were, unlike the predecessors, not seen in advance during the broadcast of the US channel ABC. But, apart from the cuts in the interrogation scene, the version here was, as said, already available before the DVD era anyway. In many countries, on the other hand, it was not that easy to see the original theatrical version . The Blu-ray release in 2009 was surprising in this respect, because it only contained said theatrical version, so that some fans criticized that the additional material of the previously expanded version was suddenly missing from the film.

After the first films already received their UHD premiere in 2021, it was finally time for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Part 6 in September 2022. The 4K Blu-ray now contained the extended version for the first time again, including interrogation recuts and in massively improved picture quality compared to the old Blu-ray. The version is called Director's Cut here, but it corresponds to the previous Special Edition DVD. In addition, the theatrical version is also included in 4K, so this release is clearly recommended to every fan. The included Blu-ray, however, is again only equipped with the theatrical version.

Running time information is according to the scheme Theatrical Version Blu-ray / Director's Cut 4K-UHD

Memory Alpha

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country - Director's Cut (4K Ultra HD)

The 4K UHD standalone version of the film was released on the occasion of the completion of the long awaited [1] in 4K HD 2160p resolution remastered version of the Star Trek: The Motion Picture   (The Director's Edition) in 2022, and was simultaneously released as part of the Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture 6-Movie Collection 4K UHD set. The remastering of both The Final Frontier and its The Undiscovered Country - Director's Cut followup was only completed in 2022, and it was only then that an individual downscaled standalone Blu-ray version could be released, whereupon it was decided that that was the opportune moment to concurrently release all original crew films in individual standalone 4K UHD versions as well. In this case there was a twist however; only the Theatrical Cut was released in the upgraded Blu-ray standalone version and not the Director's Cut, which therefore remained an exclusive to the 6-Movie Collection and this 4K UHD standalone releases only, conceivably as a by the Star Trek franchise intended instance of " market discrimination ".

UK box back cover (notice lack of the digital download option)

As usual with these releases (geo-restricted to North America only, as the – former Blu-ray Region B [2] – European/Australasian releases do not have these) a redeemable code is included to download the film in 4K resolution digitally.

As is increasingly becoming commonplace, no DVD counterpart was issued for this particular release. Those dwindling number of DVD customers still wanting one, had to make do with the original The Undiscovered Country (Special Edition) DVD release from 2004.

As well as the extras originally featured on the prior Special Edition DVD, excepting the text commentary by Mike and Denise Okuda , the release also included the special features in high definition, as originally done for the 2009 Blu-ray release. The total runtime of the release therefore amounted to 333 minutes.

Background information [ ]

  • While the "Director's Cut" can be considered the first-time HD release of the 2004 "Special Edition" DVD, there is one small, but significant difference; not included is the " Colonel West disguised as Klingon assassin reveal" scene at the end of the film. [2]
  • In contrast to films II , III and IV , an individual standalone version did get released this time around in Scandinavia, as that territory had not seen their own separate The Original Motion Picture 6-Movie Collection set release, contrary to the former three films which had been included in that territory's preceding Star Trek: The Original 4-Movie Collection release.
  • The two Australasian (Australia and New Zealand) releases had dispensed with a separate Blu-ray disc in the set, despite the fact that the The Original Motion Picture 6-Movie Collection had not seen a separate release in that territory either. Still, as Blu-ray versions had all become region-free as well by this time, any import would do in the territory.

Footnotes [ ]

  • ↑ Talks of a High Definition release of the Director's Edition had been floating around since April 2013, but various reasons conspired against such a release for nearly a decade. For further background information on this subject matter, see main article .
  • ↑ The Region geo-restricting encoding had, for all intent and purposes, been dispensed with all together by the industry upon the advent of the UHD format, even though that policy change has never been made public officially. This incidentally, has also applied for the Blu-ray disc format, whose region encoding was since late 2009 silently, but gradually, abandoned as well – which in Star Trek 's case started with the Blu-ray releases of TOS Season 2 and Star Trek: The Next Generation Motion Picture Collection [1] (X) – only to pick up speed from the mid-2010s onward.

4K Ultra HD Review – Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

September 7, 2022 by Brad Cook

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country , 1991.

Directed by Nicholas Meyer. Starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, Kim Cattrall, David Warner, Christopher Plummer, and Iman.

After the poor response to the fifth film ,  Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country  proved to be a wonderful send-off for the original cast. Not only did it bring closure to the battles between Kirk and his crew and the Klingons, but it also bridged the original series and  The Next Generation .  Star Trek VI  looks beautiful on this new 4K edition, which also includes the film on Blu-ray, along with a code for a digital copy. The extras from past editions were ported over too.

Now this was more like it: Coming off Star Trek V ’s tepid box office performance and poor reviews, Nicholas Meyer returned to writing and directing duties to send the original cast off with a flourish. Taking a cue from the history found in Earth’s 20th century, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country finds our heroes grappling with a new galactic order in which the Federation tries to make peace with the Klingon Empire.

As in real life, however, not everyone on both sides is on board with the idea, and galactic peace is threatened when the Klingon Chancellor is murdered before the peace talks and Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy are found guilty of the crime in a Klingon court. While Kirk is not 100% on board with the idea of a peace treaty with the Klingons, he’s dismayed to find that his old friend Spock is part of the group advocating for the move.

Given the Star Trek: The Next Generation TV show’s move to make the Klingons allies of the Federation in the 100-plus years after the adventures of the original crew, it made sense to cap this era of the franchise in this way. As Kirk points out at least once in this film, a Klingon murdered his son, so it’s understandably hard for him to get past that resentment and work with his former enemies.

While Kirk’s comrades are mostly on board with that view, Spock, with his cold logic, is the one who understands that it’s inevitable that the two sides put their differences aside. An explosion on a Klingon moon threatens to render their home planet uninhabitable within a few decades, so the Federation needs to show some compassion and extend an olive branch. As Spock notes, only former US President Richard Nixon could go to China.

The cast is in fine form in this one, with Christopher Plummer joining them to gleefully chew the scenery as Klingon general Chang, David Warner coming onboard to provide a more measured presence as the Klingon chancellor, and a pre- Sex and the City Kim Cattrall assuming the role of the Vulcan Valeris. Meyer’s script, which he wrote with Denny Martin Flinn, is on par with the Star Trek IV script that he collaborated on.

As with Meyer’s Star Trek II , there’s a Director’s Cut of this film, and it’s included here along with the theatrical version. Like the second film, though, there aren’t major differences in the longer version, although I have read that it’s now cropped at the proper aspect ratio, unlike previous home video editions.

And, of course, Paramount remastered The Undiscovered Country for 4K, capping off the original cast’s movies in as close to theatrical quality as you can get on a disc these days. Unlike Star Trek V , ILM was onboard to do the effects for this one, and the 4K remaster really enhances their quality.

This edition features the both versions of the film on the 4K disc, while the included Blu-ray only has the theatrical edition. There’s also a code for a digital copy. The studio ported over the bonus features from past home video releases, which include:

• Theatrical cut audio commentary with Meyer and Flinn: Among many other things, the director and his screenwriting partner talk about the real world parallels with the plot of this film, the progression from the first draft of the script to the final one, and how they sought to fit this installment into the overall Trek mythos. I found it interesting that Meyer still sees himself as a Trek outsider, despite the outsized impact he had on the original cast’s film series.

• Theatrical cut audio commentary with Trek expert Larry Nemecek and writer Ira Steven Behr: This is an interesting chat that actually digs into the film’s flaws a bit, without, of course, engaging in the kinds of rants that are all over the Internet.

• Director’s cut text commentary with Michael and Denise Okuda: Found only on the 4K platter, this is a trivia-filled track that’s sure to be of interest to many Trekkies.

• Library Computer: This is an extra found on other Trek discs too. It allows you to watch the movie and press the Enter button on your remote at various points to read various bits of information about the characters, Trek ’s technology, and more. You can also go straight into an index and browse through all of the information without watching the film again.

•  The Perils of Peacemaking  (26.5 minutes): While “Only Nixon could go to China” was an iconic line from this film, Star Trek VI was made as the old Soviet Union was falling apart, so this featurette is a great opportunity to dig into that history. Meyer and Nimoy are joined by Georgetown University professor Dr. Angela Stent and Ambassador Dennis Ross as the four discuss the parallels between fiction and reality.

•  Stories from Star Trek VI  (57 minutes): Composed of six featurettes that come with a handy “play all” option, this is a solid documentary that covers the making of the film from beginning to end, with comments from many members of the cast and crew. The final featurette, Farewell & Good-bye , is a nice send-off of the original cast. (Having the film’s closing credits begin with the cast’s signatures was a really nice touch too.)

• The Star Trek Universe (76.75 minutes): This is a group of eight featurettes that cover everything from Nicholas Meyer’s thoughts on being part of Trek to a real world production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet in Klingon. (If you’re not aware, there’s a great line in the movie where Plummer’s character talks about reading Shakespeare “in the original Klingon.”) There’s also an in-depth look at the Klingons throughout the movies and TV shows, some fun trivia about Star Trek VI supporting cast members who popped up in other Trek productions, and a tour of the Undiscovered Country props found in the Paramount archives.

•  DeForest Kelley: A Tribute  (13 minutes): The actor had passed away a few years before Star Trek VI was released on DVD, so this was a timely tribute then. It’s still nice to look back on him, of course, but it does make me wish Paramount had created new extras to commemorate the cast members who have died since then.

• Original interviews (43.5 minutes): William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, Walter Koenig, and model Iman (she has a small role in the film) appear in archival interviews shot in 1991, as the film was hitting theaters. It’s a nice time capsule view of how the cast members felt then; interestingly, all of the interviews are similar in length, so no one gets shortchanged.

Rounding off the platter, we find a production gallery, storyboards for four scenes, the teaser and theatrical trailer, and a 4.75-minute presentation by Meyer that was used to hype the film at conventions in 1991.

star trek the undiscovered country director's cut

I still don't understand how someone okayed all that hideous smoothing and edge-enhacement that they puked all over the Blu-ray. And then TWOK gets a nice new remaster and none of the others. Boo.

Interestingly, though the LaserDisc is largely similar to the Special Edition DVD (except without flashbacks during mind meld) it also has different framing. I wish that version was available in HD, as it's the version I grew up with and it doesn't have those awful inserts during the mind meld. I'll eventually post more 9 more screencap comparisons when I get around to it.  

We need a release cleaned up with all 3 versions.

I'd be all for yet another option. There'll be a video version from back in the days 4:3 tube TVs were dominant, that probably shows the majority of the unmasked frame. Unlike the way widescreen would be panned and scanned, The Undiscovered Country in Super 35mm would've been a different case. That ratio isn't very cinematic or the Director's choice, sure. But of interest to fans who like to pick every last pixel of detail out of the set.

To my knowledge the 2.35 is the authentic aspect ratio, determined by the movie's release in anamorphic 35mm. Why Nick Meyer insists on opening it up I've never understood.

Every time I see the 2.35 version which is fairly rare I can't stand the framing. The Federation president has an interesting bit of facial hair and in the 2.35 version It's just cut off right at his chin in most of the close-ups where I'm pretty sure they wanted you to see his beard and in the 2.00 version it ends right at the tip of his beard so something tells me they framed it that way. I'm never going to watch the 2.35 Blu-ray first because it's not the Extended Cut second because I don't like the framing and third because it's a waxy mess. But all three versions should be preserved for the fans the two versions that are in 2.00 aspect could be on the same disc with branching. The 2.35 version would have to be a separate disk. I don't know if Paramount is generous enough to give us to separate discs if they ever do bothered to clean up the movie for 4K presentation

MakeshiftPython said: I would be interested in hearing any rationale Meyer had for his 2:00 AR preference. TOP GUN had a similar home video release where the image was opened to 2:00 per Tony Scott's preference. Would have liked to have that option for the blu-ray. There's some releases out there that give out multiple aspect ratios like the Criterion release for ON THE WATERFRONT that has both 1:85 and 1:33. I think it does allow the images in TUC to breathe a little more. I remember the IMAX presentation for SKYFALL was 1:90 and in a lot of ways I actually preferred that version over the 2:35 widescreen. Click to expand...
Bad Robot said: I'm curious to know as well. I never realized Top Gun was Super 35; I'd seen it in theaters twice over the last decade and just assumed it was anamorphic (though admittedly my memory of it on VHS is more consistent with open matte). Click to expand...

MakeshiftPython said: You're right! At one point there was a fullscreen version that was entirely open matte for VHS/DVD (I don't know if the same was for TUC, the VHS I had growing up was widescreen). I don't think Tony Scott's preferred AR was ever released beyond the first DVD release, as blu-ray and 4K stuck to the theatrical 2.40. Click to expand...

Those screencaps look gorgeous.  

Bad Robot said: I bought all the ST movie VHS tapes (25th anniversary repackage) just before they re-released them with the laserdisc letterbox transfers and had to buy them all again. TUC's pan-and-scan was open matte, which I believe they zoomed out to full (1.66 or whatever Super 35's 'parent' ratio is) for the sign off and end credits. Click to expand...
It trips me out though that Jim Cameron rejected Super 35 for Aliens apparently the same year that Tony Scott was already using it for Top Gun. Click to expand...
MakeshiftPython said: Did the visual effects in space have to be pan-and-scanned for 1.33? My understanding is that ILM used to shoot their miniatures with VistaVision, which could easily open up for 2.00:1 framing. It must have won over Cameron quickly because he jumped immediately onto that with THE ABYSS. Click to expand...

All this discussion about aspect ratio and framing...can anyone tell me what’s up with the weird framing at the beginning (prologue through credits) if TSFS? I’ve never seen it as weird as it looks on the blue ray disk. It “normalizes” as the Enterprise comes into frame. Just looks really weird....I I never saw it on DVD or VHS widescreen like that.  

Some of the James Bond blu-rays did the same thing, but are now gotten rid of in 4K.

The top images all look better and sharper to me.

Star Trek: The 8 Best Doctors

Star trek: the 8 best first officers, batman's actual body count in the dark knight trilogy, quick links, kirk's era, picard's era, j.j abram's and justin lin era.

It’s been close to a decade since we last had a Star Trek movie and we’re long overdue for a good one. The current showrunners of “New Trek” are doing their best to run the brand into the ground and with over budgeted dud after dud, it’s in some dangerous waters these days.

Every Time Master Chief Removes His Helmet In The Halo Show (So Far)

Put the helmet back on John!

From its humble beginnings as a simple sci-fi show in 1966, to a worldwide and genre-defining franchise that inspired generations Star Trek has quite the legacy. And for a while, we got a lot of pretty good, odd, and awful movies along the way. Here’s how many Star Trek movies there were.

So over the decades, we’ve got a lot of Trek . There are tons of spin-off shows, books, Star Trek games, and all sorts of ways to enjoy Gene Roddenberry's original vision for life in the far future. On the movie front, we’re looking at a very eerie, yet respectable 13 Star Trek films.

That may seem like quite a lot to non-Trekkie fans, but it’s really not. There are three distinct eras with the movies as they cover Shatner's run as Kirk, Patrick Stewart as Picard, and Chris Pine as Kirk again in whatever it was that J.J. Abrams and Justin Lin were trying to do.

They’re not all worth watching as some of them are just so awful . But there are a couple classics in there as well that are highly recommended, primarily Wrath of Khan , Search for Spock, and First Contact. But we’ll run through them all briefly so you can see how the series evolved over the years.

Worth mentioning is Galaxy Quest. Whilst it isn’t a Trek movie, it lampoons everything about Star Trek , especially Shatner’s Era and takes shots at the man himself. It's worth adding to your watch list if you’re blasting through all those classic films.

Warning: Mild Spoilers for every Star Trek movie are below.

First up in our coverage of the feature-length Star Trek Films we have Shatner’s run as the Captain of the USS Enterprise . We got six films in total with Captain Kirk , which is still the most movies we had of a particular Captain and Crew.

How Does Strange New Worlds Connect To The Rest Of Star Trek?

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is a certifiable hit. But what exactly is it, and what are its connections to the wider Trek franchise?

The first was Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979. Whilst the last was the now-infamous Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country in 1991. A film marginally better than the one that came before it (Final Frontier), but still full of flaws. On the positive side, it did at least give a nice send-off to the original Enterprise Crew.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture

Our first outing of Shatner’s crew was back in 1979 for a cool 45 million dollar budget . Star Trek: The Motion Picture was directed by Robert Wise with a script by Alan Dean Foster and produced by Gene Roddenberry . It had a positive reception as it landed a worldwide return of 139 million dollars and kicked the movie franchise off with a bang.

To summarize the plot, a massive energy cloud appears from deep space one day and carves a path of destruction as it makes its way to Earth. The Enterprise is sent to intercept and it’s discovered that the cloud houses Voyager 6 , an old 20th Century NASA Space Probe. After being lost in a black hole it was damaged and then repaired and improved by a race of living machines.

There’s a lot of fan theory that implies that this was a version of the Borg , but space is big and weird so it could have been anyone. The probe gained sentience and after merging with a member of the Enterprise crew known as Decker, it creates a new form of life and vanishes off into deep space again.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture had notorious production problems due to the intense special effects segments. It brought the film massively over budget and seriously behind schedule. To the point the production team were eventually given a blank cheque and told to just: “Get it done”.

Stark Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan

Arguably the best, if not at least in the top three best Star Trek films to be made. Wrath Of Khan came out in 1982 and was a deep cut for Roddenberry's original fans as it brought back an old villain from exile, Khan.

This time around Nicholas Meyer was at the directorial helm and Robert Sallin produced, so no more Gene. He'd been removed from the project and "promoted" to a ceremonial position within the studio due to bad ideas for the movies and meddling in production.

Unlike the previous movie, the team was seriously handicapped with a budget of just 12 million , substantially smaller than the first film. But they managed to pull it off and saw a return worldwide of 95 million and a place in the heart of Trek fans worldwide for Ricardo Montalban in his performance as Khan.

It’s a completely unforgettable performance as a vengeance-fueled Khan . Who’s returned to kill Kirk after his wife died when the Enterprise crew put Khan and his allies into Exile back in the original TV show.

Wrath Of Khan brought us the death of Spock and the legendary Shatner yell of: "Khaaaan!"

Star Trek III: The Search For Spock

Released two years later in 1984 , The Search For Spock hit our screens with a budget of 16 million behind it and for its efforts landed a return of 87 million worldwide and 76 million at the US and Canadian box offices.

What made this movie so special is that it brought back Spock after he died in the last movie. It was an agonizing two year wait for fans, and it was directed by Leonard Nimoy himself. Plus, Harve Bennet was behind the screenwriting, story and production.

So it had all the hallmarks of classic Trek right out of the gate and boy did it deliver.

Despite a few stuttering moments in the overall plot, it’s a great story with emotional gut punches at the right moments . Plus, it builds a bridge between McCoy and Spock after all these years of being snippy with one another.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Oh where to start on this one. T he black sheep of the Star Trek movies and a bizarre film from top to bottom. Released in 1986, after another two-year wait, The Voyage Home had all the best green flags in the world back then.

It was directed by Leonard Nimoy again , we had Harve Bennet and Nimoy writing the story with Harve doing production work again. Plus, there were four screenwriters , so the story could have some legs.

Then the movie came out and all everyone remembers it for is its obsession with Whales . And some lore from Scotty about how starship windows are apparently made from transparent Aluminium.

Boasting a budget of 21 million dollars, it surprisingly hit 133 million worldwide and 109 million at home . Now on the surface, this may seem like a big win, but I think it was a lot of people expecting what we got in Search For Spock , and instead, we got The Voyage Home.

The following Star Trek film after Voyage Home pulled in just 52 million at the US box office and 70 million worldwide. So it seems audiences were cautious about going to another Trek film at the time.

To summarize the lunacy briefly, Kirk and the crew are facing a court-martial on Earth for their reckless actions in saving Spock. But suddenly the Earth is approached by a probe so gigantic it dwarves the entire planet . The probe sends out a destructive signal that’s threatening to destroy the world, and it turns out the intended recipients of this weird wave are Humpback Whales .

However, in this era they’re extinct . So Kirk and the gang go back in time to grab a mating pair, bring them back to the present, and have the whales talk to the probe for them. See what we mean by it’s an odd one.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

If The Voyage Home was the red light warning on Star Trek's metaphorical dashboard, Final Frontier was the sputtering, leaking cough of an engine that was on its way out the door. Star Trek was looking like a brand that was past its prime and becoming worryingly mismanaged , out of touch, and veering off course.

Even though it had a bigger budget than Voyage Home with 30 million behind it. The Final Frontier only pulled in just 70 million at the box office worldwide and a concerning 50 million in the US. What made it perform so dismally is a mix of trepidation from the audience after Space Whales, and the fact that Final Frontier was directed by William Shatner.

By this point, William Shatner's ego was in full swing and he made working with him an absolute nightmare.

What we got was a very, very Star Trek-feeling film that had some questionable scenes , some unique and interesting approaches to storytelling, and an overall feeling that this was a bit of an ego piece for Shatner behind the scenes.

To go into the madness, The Final Frontier has Spock's half-brother Sybok turning up and taking control of the Enterprise through a type of Vulcan mind-control . The purpose, to go and meet God through a section of space known as the Great Barrier.

It of course turns out that it’s not God. It's just some god-like alien being with a very big special effects budget that somehow requires a Starship to leave the planet it's trapped on. But that's revealed after Kirk catches it out with a very good, if kind of obvious question.

To quote the Captain: “ What does God need with a Starship? ”

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Our last outing for all of the Kirk-era crew was in 1991. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country was released with a budget of 27 million and it pulled in 98 million worldwide and 74 million at the US box office. So it performed relatively well.

Shatner was out of the directing chair this time and instead, we had Nicholas Meyer taking the helm whilst also screenwriting with Denny Flin. The story was written by Nimoy again , but he also had help from Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal.

Harve Bennet was also no longer in charge of production and instead, that role went to Ralph Winter and Steven Jaffe. And you can tell, we get a lot of very janky and poorly aged CG throughout , with the worst being the shapeshifter and zero-gravity grape juice Klingon blood.

The Undiscovered Country has the Klingons doing something nobody in the universe would have expected, asking for peace . But after Kirk and McCoy are blamed for the assassination of the Klingon Peace Envoys , it’s up to them and the crew of the Enterprise to unearth the conspiracy, preserve the peace treaty, and prove their innocence.

Fun Fact: Kurtwood Smith plays the Federation President. The majority of people may remember him as Eric’s Dad Red Foreman from That 70’s Show. Or Clarence Boddicker in Robocop.

Next up we have Patrick Stewart's run at the helm of the Enterprise during Star Trek: The Next Generation. The show proved to be popular with fans after a slightly rocky first season , but there's many that now prefer it over the Trek of Shatner’s era. Ever since then, Patrick Stewart's Picard became iconic and a fan favorite for many.

Did somebody need a doctor?

Unfortunately, that success didn’t translate well into the movies, and the crew we got in the films were not the characters from the show , at all. So many are content to consider the movies to be in its own little universe where “Movie Picard” is the machismo, action-man version of “TV Show Picard” .

If you compare and contrast the two you’ll notice pretty quickly how different they are. Still, we’ll be diving through them anyway as there’s some stuff worth talking about.

Star Trek: Generations

First up in Picard's outing on the big screen, we got Star Trek: Generations . A movie that tried to end the fan debate around which Captain was better , Picard or Kirk, by having the two on the screen at the same time. Turns out the answer was, neither. They’re both equally useless in the film.

Firing out the gate with a budget of 38 million dollars , Star Trek: Generations grossed 118 million worldwide, but just 75 million at the US and Canadian box offices . A little stumbling start, but they were still finding their legs with the Picard films back then.

The story we got was an attempt to join both the old and the new Trek with a metaphorical torch pass from one Captain to another. Kirk and Picard try to stop a scientist known as Soren from destroying star systems that host millions of innocent lives , but one of the Captains perishes.

You can probably guess who.

Soren's goal was to reach an " extra-dimensional wish fulfillment plane" known as The Nexus where he could be with his dead wife and child again.

Generations canonically killed off Kirk and it was the last time we saw Shatner in the role.

Star Trek: First Contact

After the poor reception of the somewhat confusing story in Star Trek: Generations, the studio handed the reins off to more suitable hands that knew what they were doing. In this case, Jonathan Frakes, a.k.a Commander Riker . A decision that went down pretty well with fans as Frakes can be a good Director when he gives a damn.

He was handed a 46 million dollar budget , and for his first outing as a director of the Star Trek films First Contact pulled in 146 million worldwide and 92 million in the US and Canada. So it did pretty well.

With Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga reprising their roles as screen and story writers for the movie, it seems this time around we had a more concise and coherent plot to follow. Plus, it involved the Borg and they’re always enjoyable.

Encounter At Farpoint was the first introduction of the Borg in the Next Generation TV show.

The general outline for First Contact is that the Enterprise is sucked back in time whilst pursuing a Borg Escape ship after a battle with Starfleet. The Borg are defeated in the initial skirmish, but through time travel shenanigans they’re able to stop Earth from making First Contact with the Vulkans and assimilate the entire planet instead.

So the Enterprise crew goes back in time after the Borg ship to stop it and make sure the events in history surrounding First Contact with the Vulcans play out as they should.

A highlight of First Contact is the grizzly assimilation scenes where the captured crew members of the Enterprise are converted into Borg drones.

Star Trek: Insurrection

On his second outing behind the wheel, Frakes was given a budget of 70 million dollars . A substantial increase from before and at least a sign that the studio had trust in him to make that back. Which he did as Insurrection landed 112 million worldwide , but barely scraped even in the US with 70 million.

The writing and story in Star Trek Insurrection is what drags it down for the majority of people . It’s still shot and directed well, so Frakes tried his best at least.

Speaking of the plot, it’s a little silly and very Star Trek as it follows the Enterprise getting involved in a violation of the Prime Directive by Data.

We get introduced to a seemingly immortal race of humans and a plan involving Starfleet and a second alien race that will harvest the planet's natural rejuvenating radiation for their own gains. Whilst the Enterprise crew uncover the conspiracy and try to stop it.

Star Trek: Nemesis

After Insurrection's abysmal performance in the US box office . It seems that investors may have been hesitant as on his final outing as a Star Trek director, Jonathan Frakes had a slightly smaller 60 million dollar budget for Star Trek: Nemesis.

Which unfortunately translated into 67 million worldwide in returns and an abysmal 43 million in the US making it another box office failure.

Tom Hardy was the villain this time around and we also saw the death of Data , which was handled so hamfistedly that it caused problems for Data’s “return” in Star Trek: Picard. A dreary and grim movie all around that could have been so much more, Star Trek Nemesis slammed the door shut on any future Star Trek: Next Generation movies.

Plus, it was a sour note for the franchise to go out on for fans as the movie was a commercial failure, and the overall plot was badly written and not the right tone for Star Trek.

Worth mentioning is that the Picard-era Star Trek films all had the same producer , Rick Berman.

To summarize the plot, a clone of Picard (played by Tom Hardy) assassinates the Romulan Senate, takes control, and lures in the Enterprise with the prospect of peace with the Romulans . But of course, it’s the Romulans, so it’s a ruse and chaos ensues quickly.

The release dates for the Next Generation Star Trek movies were 1994, 1996, 1998, and 2002 .

Even though J.J. Abrams and Justin Lin meant well. Abrams's eye-searing lens flares, mystery box plots, retcons, and re-imaginings, plus a general approach of all action all the time brought us a very different kind of Star Trek . You could call it the Joss Whedon effect of making everyone an ass-kicking, quip-throwing character in stories that really didn’t do much overall.

Set a course for every almost-captain major character in the series.

We got an entire timeline retconning in the first film , a rewrite of Wrath Of Khan in the second movie, and an attempt to do classic Trek but through the filter of The Fast And The Furious.

None of it worked, and many are glad they’re consigned to the ash heap of history alongside The Voyage Home and Nemesis. But here’s a rundown of the last Star Trek films we ever got.

The one silver lining we got out of Abrams Trek is Karl Urban as McCoy.

J.J. Abrams' first outing behind the wheel of what was considered “New Trek” had all the red flags in the universe . Abrams at the helm, a script from Alex Kurtzman , plus an eye-watering 150 million dollar budget.

But surprisingly, it landed 385 million worldwide and 257 million at the box office. So it squeaked by on returns, despite Kurtzman's script dragging it down by the neck with his usual dross-filled dialogue.

For those that missed it, in the 24th Century Spock from the Roddenberry Kirk timeline fails to stop the Romulan sun from going supernova . It wipes out Romulus, possibly a stab by Abrams at Star Trek Nemesis, and Spock along with a 24th Century Romulan Mining Ship are dragged into a black hole and spat back out in the 23rd Century.

It creates a new timeline where there are two Spocks , and we follow a young Kirk getting his captaincy and dealing with the new threat of this future tech-filled Romulan ship.

Vulcan is destroyed in the J. J. Abrams timeline and it’s something old Spock watches from another planet . Even though he shouldn’t be able to physically see something like that.

Star Trek: Into Darkness

After the surprisingly high return of Abrams's first attempt at Star Trek, the folks funding him decided to toss another, much larger, 190 million budget in his direction to see what he would produce. Turns out it was his version of Star Trek: Wrath Of Khan.

Which in turn caused the movie to rake in 228 million dollars worldwide , and 467.4 million dollars at the US and Canadian box office. So it did well financially, but was received abysmally by critics and fans alike for its retreading and retconning of old, and now seemingly sacred ground.

Here’s what I mean, in Into Darkness the Enterprise crew are tasked with hunting down a renegade Starfleet Operative . But surprise, it’s just a new timeline version of Khan that worked for Starfleet building weapons and being a generally eugenic-brained maniac. He rebels and the Enterprise have to clean up the mess.

  5. Which cut of Undiscovered Country should I watch? : r/startrek

    I prefer the Director's Edition. Not familiar with the "extended cut" but I'd highly, highly recommend the director's cut if it's an option. The differences are minute and the main thing you would miss is Kim Catrall sliding down a pole and almost disappearing through a cardboard wall. I'd recommend the director's cut.

  19. Theatrical Cut Blu-ray vs Director's Cut iTunes

    Commodore. Jan 8, 2021. #1. I recently bought THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY on iTunes, which includes an HD copy of the Director's Cut. One difference in the transfer for the DC is that it used Nick Meyer's preferred taller aspect ratio 2:00 instead of the 2:35. Not surprising. The other difference is quite a freaking relief... Theatrical Cut Blu-ray.

  23. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country • Home Theater Forum

    The Undiscovered Country remains a favorite of mine. This release welcomingly includes both the theatrical and the Director's cut (which runs a about 4 minutes longer), with the Meyer's cut adding moments that add more color to the mystery and more solid character interactions. A few scenes are edited a little differently, too.

  24. How Many Star Trek Movies Were Made?

    The first was Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979. Whilst the last was the now-infamous Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country in 1991. A film marginally better than the one that came before it (Final Frontier), but still full of flaws. On the positive side, it did at least give a nice send-off to the original Enterprise Crew.
