The twice Oscar-nominated movie, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country opened December 6, 1991. Much to the relief of Trekkies like myself, this movie stood head and shoulders above its predecessor Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. It brought back all of the regulars (William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelly, Walter Koenig, George Takei, James Doohan and Nichelle Nichols), including recurring characters Mark Lenard as Sarek and Grace Lee Whitney. Michael Dorn appeared as the grandfather of his Worf character from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Rene Auberjonois, who would play Odo on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had an uncredited cameo as Colonel West.
It received Oscar nominations for Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing and Best Makeup.
According to imdb.com, Gene Roddenberry passed away within 48 hours of viewing this movie.
