What critics compared Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country to
In lieu of a mid-credits or post-credits sequence (there are neither), the movie borrows a page from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country’s playbook.
David's murder comes back around in the sixth film, "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country." The Klingon Empire is hoping for peace with the Federation, but most of the Enterprise crew is wary of allying with the people they've spent their careers fighting. Kirk is especially troubled at the prospect, since he holds Klingons (all Klingons) responsible for David's death.
This line is a nod to Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, in which Spock says, “An ancestor of mine maintained that if you eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth,” a line spoken by Sherlock Holmes in The Sign of the Four.
While the film may borrow heavily from previous even-numbered Star Trek films (the twisty plot of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the relentless action and pace of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and the friendly humor of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home), it also establishes its own identity.
