Star Trek: Klingon Academy (2000)
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, no peace in our time....
If you saw Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; if you are a gamer, or a science fiction fan; then you should definitely check out Klingon Academy, an IBM-compatible computer space simulation game being released now by Interplay. The game features ninety dramatic minutes of stunning, full motion video, as veteran actor Christopher Plummer reprises his over-the-top role as the Shakespeare-quoting General Chang. Actor David Warner returns to his role as the level-headed Chancellor Gorkon, and you will finally learn how Chang lost the sight in one eye, how Gorkon came to power, and the events which culminate in Chang's eventual betrayal of Gorkon and his subsequent efforts to thrust the galaxy into total war as featured in the aforementioned movie. The soundtrack is engrossing, and the video helps draw the player into his role as a young Klingon warrior, under the tutelage of Chang at the Elite Command Academy which is part of the game. There is a handy utility which allows you to watch the movies in sequence without playing the missions through. Eventually, you will have to choose between your duty to the Empire and your loyalty to Chang. I thoroughly enjoyed the movies and the game. As the Klingons like to say in greeting, Qa'pla!
