Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country debuted in theaters across North America on Dec. 6, 1991, and it was the last film to feature the entire crew from The Original Series (1966-1969). Now, while this must-see movie is considered an underrated Trek, it still holds up today.

With that in mind, let's revisit The Undiscovered Country and recall what makes it so watchable, not the least of which is its villain, General Chang, portrayed by the incomparable Christopher Plummer.
