Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is many things. It’s heavy-handed metaphors and the laziest mystery in the original cast’s adventures on the big or small screen, but it also has a great ending for ending’s sake.

Palmer’s Trek: Star Trek V The Final Frontier
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is a curious film. As someone who has been shotgunning this franchise from the beginning, it’s easy to state that this is a comedy: essentially four original series episodes blended into the chaos of one film that still somehow keeps most of the franchise blueprints in tact. Despite all of the chaos and blended plots, this movie is enjoyable and very watchable.

Palmer’s Trek: Fourth Major Star Trek Movie Really Does Feel Like a Voyage Home
The Voyage Home is the end of what Trek fans before me will know as the Genesis trilogy. Starting with The Wrath of Khan and continuing with The Search for Spock, this is another direct sequel, so there’s a lot of similarities to continue what I enjoyed about The Search for Spock.

Palmer’s Trek: Star Trek III The Search for Spock
A direct sequel to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock is, as I write this, my favorite of the films in this franchise because, even more than its direct predecessor, this is an even more of a direct return to the Original Series.

Palmer’s Trek: Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan
This movie was something special, as it marks for me a return to form for the franchise and getting back to the roots of what made it so special in The Original Series. Of all the films in the franchise, this was the one that those Trek fans around me were most excited for me to experience.
