Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

I feel guilty for saying it, because I seriously admire William Shatner, but though this movie did have its moments, it was kind of narcissistic towards Kirk. It really painted him like he was more of hero than he really was. I don’t like how when the story got into some of the more intense parts, it began relying on him and only him to save the day. Even the nice campfire scene seemed to have the problem of focusing on only the awesomeness of Kirk. William Shatner is a brilliant and talented actor, but as a director, I’m afraid he leaves much to be desired. But hey, at least it ain’t Star Trek Nemesis, right?

Not the best Star Trek movie… But in my opinion the best music

Don't get me wrong - I don't fault folks that like this movie. More power to 'em. I, however, loathe this movie. Paramount may have cheaped out... maybe Shatner wasn't to blame, etc., etc. None of that matters to me when viewing the final product. Even as someone who loves classic Trek (I grew up watching TOS reruns and was a teen during the TNG years), *in my opinion* this movie is arguably the single worst Trek anything ever made. The dialogue is attrocious, the f/x are remarkably poor compared to any other prior TOS film, the plot is laughable... (they shoot "God" with a photon topedo for crying out loud.) Nope. I can't watch this one all the way through. I've tried. Just can't make it through. It's a cure for insomnia for me.

I would actually give this movie a four star. But because it's very underrated, I'll instead rate it a five star to stress the positive part. Storyline is the best part. Like it represents the whole series. Very general, not specific like some other movies.

I have to admit that this is one of my favorite Star Trek movies. Yes it is cheesy but Star Trek has always been cheesy. From the very beginning with the mountain climbing and the fantastic music, I thoroughly enjoy watching this film. I hope you do too!

There is precisely one good line in the entire movie.

Compared to the Star Trek: Generations, First Contact, Nemesis, 2009, and Into Darkness, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is masterful! And when isolated as a standalone film, it's still very good!

I’ve seen all of the movies over and over and this is the worst. It’s corny and the ending may as well have been ripped straight from the Wizard of Oz. Even the producer said this movie almost killed the franchise.

All I'm gonna say is Worst Star Trek Movie EVER!!! I mean this one nearly destroyed a great and fun franchise. This Star Trek movie right here is a FRANCHISE KILLER. Just a terrible and god-awful movie. TERRIBLE!!!

This is without a doubt the most ambitious of the "TOS" films. According to Shat's book, ST Movie Memories, he was shortchanged by Paramount in multiple ways, and he himself (along with the crowd) kind of disses the film, which is completely unfair to the final result. Yes, for the purists it has some 'continuity' and 'accuracy' issues, but I just watched it again after not having seen it since it was in theaters, and I gotta tell you, I liked it! I'd pay to see it again on the big screen.
