_**At the end of the day, it entertains**_ This 1989 entry in the Star Trek film series was an earnest and noble effort by William Shatner, who directed and plotted the film, to tackle a subject that only he and Star Trek would dare attempt. Unfortunately it's become law in Trekdom to pick apart this film as a turkey of astronomical proportions; consequently a sort of bandwagon phenomenon has developed amongst the cookie-cutter fundamentalist Trekkers who have somehow failed to evolve to the level of independent thought. (They're no doubt still mad at Shatner for telling them to "get a life"). In fact, it's become such a cliché to hate "Star Trek V" that it has become the "Spock's Brain" of the feature films. I disagree. While "The Final Frontier" certainly has its share of flaws -- the story goes over the edge into the realm of goofy camp at times and some argue that the F/X are possibly the least of the feature films -- it remains an entertaining picture. Besides, Star Trek was never about great special effects (disregarding the triumphant "The Motion Picture"). It's about people, their joy of living and their grand spirit of exploration; this is what "The Final Frontier" is all
Read the whole review on TMDB**Underrated and fun!** This is my favorite Star Trek movie. The whole film bubbles with humour and the music score is fantastic. I love the bookend _'Row, row, row your boat'_ sequences. An emotional and funny film - my favourite goosebumps moment being when Kirk says 'I've always known...I'll die alone". Brings tears to my eyes that part - it really does. You'll have to excuse me, I'm getting emotional thinking about it. It's trendy to give this film a bad review and I am more than happy to be honest and open about ny admiration for this film. If anything, Star Trek VI is the weakest Trek movie - a plodding episode of Columbo in space. _Star Trek V: The Final Frontier_ is a rousing and fun movie. - Ian Beale
Read the whole review on TMDB"Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" is a highly watchable film which features a much greater reliance upon rollicking humour than we have become accustomed to during the more recent adventures. This humour works for the most part and William Shatner seems inexhaustibly determined in his new role as director to include as much eye catching action as he possibly can into the running time - he really delivers the goods in this regard - and he easily evokes the spirit of the ground breaking television series. However, the major flaw is the film does dramatically grind to a halt after it becomes clear it has run out of significant things to say once they eventually arrive on the planet at the centre of the galaxy.
