I find that what sets UC apart is the far more serious plot, where Sci-Fi is merely the background environment.
I would think it's quite obvious the "mining incident" which weakens the Klingon Empire and precipitates the beginning of the end is a clear reference to Chernobyl and the former USSR.
Christopher Plummer plays a riveting General Chang, especially in the dinner scene: "There's no need to mince words, Captain. In space, all warriors are cold warriors."
Trivia: General Chang's eyepatch has three bolts that go into the skull. They all have the Klingon insignia engraved on them.

Yes, I really enjoyed that aspect of The Undiscovered Country, the wall coming down in space.The dinner scene was classic, especially when Gorkon said "We need breathing room" Kirk replies "Earth, Hitler, 1938" still makes me chuckle every time. Chekov uttering "Guess who's coming to dinner?" never gets old either nor does Chang reciting Shakespeare as he attacks lol.
