A Fine End, Though By Far Not My Favorite
27 April 2006
Let's get this out of the way: having Klingons bleed purple blood that looks like melted crayons is a really silly idea. Having the blood float in space is really cool and one of the best effects of the film, but purple? This takes away from the seriousness of the situation and I don't know who okayed such a stupid thing. But I digress...

We see the Original Cast on their last voyage, where they try to secure a peace treaty between the Klingons and Federation. Unfortunately, someone assassinates the Klingon Chancellor and Kirk/Bones are framed.

The film is great for a closing to the series, but also as a launching pad for the Next Generation universe. We see Worf's grandfather, and we see the Klingons moving into their TNG phase. We see Kirk and Bones working together to fight the wrongs assigned to them. We see Spock take full command of the Enterprise (something he was meant to do). Oh, and best of all, we see Christian Slater.

I already complained about the blood. And that's really the only thing I didn't like. I can complain they put David Warner (the Lexus guy) in this film as a Klingon after he appeared in part 5 as a human, but you probably didn't even notice until I pointed it out, did you? So yeah, it's fine. If you watched the other five, you are pretty much obligated to complete your run.
