Review of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) by Rox22 — 24 Sep 2013

I find very little right with this movie. While it is nice to see Kirk & crew in another movie, the premise and overall narrative here is just so stupid. Clearly this movie was trying to find some common ground between science and religion in order to pull in people from both groups. Unfortunately it just ends up angering both.

Shatner is just a terrible director. Most of the performances were just not up to the usual standard or too over the top to be taken seriously. Effects were OK at times, but generally rather bland and dated for what was available at the time.

Overall:

Clearly the weakest entry to the movie series. But, at least Nimoy is doing his best, as usual.
