TRAILER REACTION - Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Before this first aired I had so many scenarios about Commander Sela running in my head..It was insane. None of them went back to Yesterday's Enterprise...

I still remember when I was like 6, parents got me this, the last TOS movie I was missing on VHS at the time. Was a great day. (This was before DVDs and all the TNG movies were out.

We're starting to get into the age of high-quality sound (The TNG are in 5.1 as it is) and you two are still listening not only in mono but in half mono. I'm constantly chuckling when I hear a sound coming from the right speaker knowing the one of you on the right side of my screen literally can't hear it. ST VI though - you both deserve to hear it in all it's glory!

This is what a trailer in a long running franchise should be like. Obviously for most movies you have to show SOMETHING to get people interested, but it's not necessary here. All they need to tell us is that this is one last adventure with the crew we know and love. It's one last look back before the end. It just works

Forgive me if this has been asked elsewhere, but are you guys watching the Theatrical cut of 6 over the Directors Cut? In my opinion, the Directors Cut in this case is not as good as the Theatrical.

My favourite teaser/trailer of all time, glad you watched it. Been a while since I've watched this myself and the goosebumps returned in force for it

When you watch the movie try to spot the redressed TNG sets and not obvious ones like the transporter room or sickbay which served the same function but the ones that were used as a completely different locations.

It's awesome that the trailer reveals NOTHING about Star Trek 6. Are you guys ready for the last ride? CAN'T WAIT.

My personal favourite Star Trek movie ^-^

I camped outside of the theatre over night for twelve-plus hours in a blizzard to be first in line for Trek VI. Had sleeping bags, a Coleman stove and battery operated socks to keep my feet warm. Almost got run over by a sidewalk snowplough. It was worth every second of freezing my ass off. You’re in for a real treat.

Ah, the classic TA intro and outro, that takes me back. Why'd you stop doing that anyway?

Either this trailer revealed nothing, or it reveals everything because ST:VI is actually a 'Shades of Gray' clip show.

I was so ready for this movie, Although TNG was growing on me, I was and always will be a TOS fan. Also Kirk was always the winner in the Kirk Vs Picard who is the better captain debate at this point.

I’ve always loved this teaser! Gives me chills.

This was something to see on the big screen.

Like you do with TNG episode teasers, you should watch the full trailer after you watch the movie.

"In A World..."

I don't mind saying I was misty seeing this trailer. A good idea to track scenes of the show and movies over the shot of the Enterprise.

Like I said way back in October of last year, this is such a beautiful piece that just gets you in the mood for the movie itself.

Great reaction! FYI, Star Trek 5 came out during TNG Season 2, not Season 3 - between 2x18 Up the Long Ladder and 2x19 Manhunt.

Wait, they’re supposed to be annoyed by each other. I’m confused by the meta-narrative

Wow, I remember seeing this teaser when it aired 33 years ago. Holy shit.

I am so glad that you guys watched that. It is going to be fun when we get there

Back then, you went to a movie theater just to see the Trek trailer ...

Here's an even better quality version of this trailer from a 35mm scan. It is full frame without any cropping https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AropkYs23-E

1991 was definitely a great time to be a Trek fan. TNG was at its peak, ST6 was on the way, there were all sorts of TV specials capitalizing on the 25th anniversary such as the TOS Viewers Choice Marathon, the 25th Anniversary special, conventions, Playmates and Micro Machines toy lines were blowing up.

You might watch the full ST6 trailer *after* you see the movie, simply because it's one of the earliest really good film trailers (trailers before 1991 were often pretty bad), plus, the composer for the film made a special, unique score for the trailer, rather than re-using music from the other movies, as this one did.

I really hope you are watching the 2004 Special edition. The director re-edited a few scenes and the additional scenes from the 1992 home video release were included. Those help to provide context and clarity to some of the scenes in the theatrical version.

Yeah, they began showing this in Conventions before they did in theaters, and it blew all of us away! Christopher Plummer's voice was a SUPERB choice!

That was the only teaser I saw for ST VI prior to the film and went into it totally blind which was a really good thing. Can't wait for you guys to see it. I know I've suggested it before, but you need to watch the movie before TNG S5 Episode 7. The episode aired a month before the movie, but you might want to make an exception for the release order viewing for this one.

They regular trailer is sick.

Okay. I guess this was the teaser?

I've watched this movie like 4 or 5 times and that teaser still got me excited to watch it again when you guys drop your reaction.

Not having to sync was so nice! Can we just cheat and not have to sync on S5 also????

Never seen this teaser before. Christopher Plummer doing the VO is a nice touch.

Star Trek 6 is my favorite Star Trek movie and it's not even close

Oh god I’ve never seen that. There’s also a really cool 25th Anniversary special that has guest spots from the TOS and TNG cast and plugs Star Trek VI. I think it came with the 25th Anniversary set of movies I to V on VHS in widescreen. I’ll try to track it down. May be worth watching just after Star Trek VI as an extra for Patreons?

I have never watched this teaser before, so that was fun. It gave me goosebumps!

Oh, I LOVED the Outro!!! I miss that. Talk about nostalgia!

So spoilers aren't a problem anymore???

A lovely valentine to TOS. Funnily enough if you watch the 4:3 version of this teaser you see more footage.

Now that the title is revealed, it can be brought up that "The Undiscovered Country" was the title Nicholas Meyer wanted for Star Trek II, until it became The Vengeance of Khan, and then Wrath of Khan (since at the time, Return of the Jedi was Revenge of the Jedi). Nicholas Meyer 9 years later finally got to bust out the title he wanted.

I love the last shot of the montage, it literally has the first appearance of Kirk and Spock from WNMHGB, and the latest appearance (circa early 1991) of Kirk and Spock in Star Trek V, side by side projected onto the hull of the Enterprise. Genius composition

One of the things about broadcast media before the internet really established itself was that you had a lot more collective cultural touchpoints. TNG was a national -- even global -- show by 1991. Fans were very excited for ST6 for the same reason I think you'll find Season 5 is a very special run of episodes: it was the 25th Anniversary. If you want to get an idea of how pervasive Star Trek was at the time, the official 25th Anniversary Prime Time TV Special is available on YouTube. But DO NOT WATCH before you see ST6. The special aired on the actual Anniversary, in Sept of 91, and contains roughly 10 minutes of footage from the film as a promotion.

Noticing now that it's interesting the movie came out during the holiday break from TNG. Episode 9 is in November and episode 10 is in January. It's also kind of between two mediocre episodes...

Christopher Plummer doing the narration .... GOAT

S tier for sure

You guys will love this movie so much

I can’t lie at that time it was odd to have both franchises going . But we had so much then man . Tng voyager ds9 movies theme parks . It was great

Fun fact: even during the final edits, Undiscovered Country was considered behind the scenes to be the last Star Trek movie. They had no official designs on TNG movies yet. It was specifically Brandon Tartikoff, who was very briefly chairman of Paramount Pictures, that moved the needle towards more Star Trek movies after this one.

Hi Josh and Alex ! Let’s watch a trailer

I had such a weird experience growing up with Star Trek because I actually saw the movies before anything else from the series. Then my mom showed me TNG and then I started catching TOS episodes in my college years. I'm so excited for you guys to see this movie :) It's my favorite of the Trek movies.

Can't believe it's nearly time. The trailer is ok, but it's just a bit of hype so no harm done ☺️

Spoiler: You will love the movie.

release date was pushed up to 12/6 if i recall
