Review of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) by Kevin Thomas for Los Angeles Times — 06 Sep 2016

"Star Trek V" is pretty much of a mess - a movie that betrays all the signs of having gone into production at a point where the script doctoring should have begun in earnest. There is no clear line from the beginning of the movie to the end, not much danger, no characters to really care about, little suspense, uninteresting or incomprehensible villains, and a great deal of small talk and pointless dead ends.

Of all of the "Star Trek" movies, this is the worst.
