Movie critic Roger Ebert summed it up very succinctly: "Of all of the Star Trek movies, this is the worst." Subsequent films in the popular series have done nothing to disprove this opinion; we can be grateful that they've all been significantly better since this film was released in 1989. After Leonard Nimoy scored hits with Star Trek III and IV, William Shatner used his contractual clout (and bruised ego) to assume directorial duties on this mission, in which a rebellious Vulcan (Laurence Luckinbill) kidnaps Federation officials in his overzealous quest for the supreme source of creation. That's right, you heard it correctly: Star Trek V is about a crazy Vulcan's search for God. By the time Kirk, Spock, and their Federation cohorts are taken to the Great Barrier of the galaxy, this journey to "the final future" has gone from an embarrassing prologue to an absurd conclusion, with a lot of creaky plotting in between. Of course, die-hard Trekkies will still allow this movie into their video collections; but they'll only watch it when nobody else is looking. After this humbling experience, Shatner wisely relinquished the director's chair to Star Trek II's Nicholas Meyer. --Jeff Shannon

MST3K Fans Rejoice -- Rifftrax is Here!.......2007-08-25
The bittersweet sequel to Star Treks I, II, III and IV was indeed the "Final Frontier", one last voyage for our heroic Captain Kirk and the brave crew of the Enterprise - except for another one to follow. And then of course the several dozen spin-offs and spin-off sequels to follow. "The Final Frontier" sees a special guest appearance by the one character fit to take equal billing with William Shatner: God.
And so this RiffTrax deserves an awe-inspiring guest appearance by none other than Kevin Murphy, Mike's riffing companion for years on the Satellite of Love! It's a RiffTrax lover's dream come true. (And Mike and Kevin promise not to make any jokes comparing the Enterprise and Charmin
Hey Paramount, How About Some new FX?.......2007-08-22
In 1989, this movie suffered from several problems that were unique to this particular film, but one thing is shared with later Trek films was a diminished budget. Paramount never really believed in Star Trek's staying power until the Next Generation was a hit. After that, Trek could do no wrong, and Paramount couldn't be swayed from supporting dismal outings like Voyager or Star Trek: Insurrection. Before they saw the light though, they kept cutting the budgets. Maybe they felt they better be careful just in case Trek really WAS a fad after over 20 years of fervent devotion by fans. Because of the budget's shrinkage, and the actors' fees swelling, there was less and less money that found its way onto the screen (The point of making a film)! To cut corners, they crossed off ILM from FX duties, and went to a smaller, cheaper vendor for this film. They did a good job, with the budget they had to work with. Truly. But after seeing some pretty wonderful stuff in the previous 4 pictures, I came away feeling a bit disappointed. The Final Frontier looked a little flat and phony. New FX wont fix all the flaws with this picture, but it would go a long way toward making this Trek one that could stand tall with the rest of the films. Be a good marketing move on Paramounts' part, too. How about it guys? How much could it cost? You let bunch of computer geeks fool with Star Trek I, and that picture didnt even NEED any help! ILM could probably bang out a whole batch of new FX in an afternoon, if they didnt stop for coffee breaks.
Every Franchise Has its Peaks and Valleys.......2007-08-18
STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER was definitely a valley. According to Leonard Nimoy in his book I AM SPOCK, a director cannot overcome a bad script. A pared down version of this story would have made for a good 50-minute episode of STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION. Unfortunately Trek fans were expecting much more after STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME.
In summary: James T. Kirk continues to ride the midlife crisis he started in STAR TREK II. The beautiful new trans-warp Enterprise we saw at the conclusion of THE VOYAGE HOME is actually a technological lemon with Mr. Scott scurrying about the ship to effect repairs. With a skeleton crew and only partially functioning systems, the Enterprise races off to defuse a hostage situation on Nibus III. Nimbus, a desert planet jointly administered by the Federation, Klingons, and Romulans, has been overun by a crusading army of zealots led by Vulcan mystic Sybok. By the way, Sybok is Spock's older half brother.
The hostage situation however, is only a ploy to lure a Federation Star Ship to the quadrant. Kirk and a pitifully small shore party unsuccessfully attempt to liberate the hostages and instead lose the Enterprise. Sybok, now in control of the Enterprise and its crew, guides the ship to a largely unexplored area of the galaxy in an attempt to find the creator of the universe. Breaching a cloudy barrier around a hidden planet, Sybok, Kirk, McCoy, and Spock face off with marooned evil entity masquarading as Sybok's image of the Almighty.
Sybok, realizing his arrogance put them all in jeopardy, sacrifices himself so that the other can escape. A pursuing Klingon Bird of Prey appears in the nick of time and rescues Kirk. On board the Enterprise the former hostages, Klingons, and ship's crew celebrate the rescue with social mixer. The film concludes with Kirk, McCoy, and Spock continuing their interrupted shore leave at Yosemite National Park singing around a evening campfire.
This was William Shatner's first outing as a director. Despite my rather scarcastic synopsis of the movie, Shatner did surprisingly well as a director. STAR TREK V was a learning experience for him. Shatner's contract with Paramount guarantied that he and Leonard Nimoy had directorial opportunities. Nimoy had already directed STAR TREK III and THE VOYAGE HOME. As such, Shatner was also eligible for two films. It is likely that Paramount kept a tight hold on the budget for this movie as it was Shatner's directorial debut. After all, STAR TREK IV was well received by the public and made a lot of money. Additionally, THE VOYAGE HOME could have served as a perfect ending to the trilogy -- if you exclude STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE.
The budget constraints are evident throughout the picture. Some special effects footage, such as the views of the Enterprise in space dock and the Klingon bird of prey were recycled from earlier movies. Some of the NEXT GENERATION corridors were also included as part of the Enterprise-A. Was it not also convenient for the Enterprise to be -- once again -- staffed by a skeleton crew?
The ship's transporter system likewise did not function until the end of the film -- thus reducing the need for trasporter special effects. Although the production team did build a full scale mock up of a shuttle craft (and I applaud the movie for this) we are initially only treated to a shot of a spot light looming behind the trees when Uhura steps out to taxi Kirk, McCoy, and Spok back to the ship.
One of the aspects that hurt this film was that there was too much comic relief. Paramount reportedly turned up its corporate nose, and checkbook, to a darker and more serious tone. Executives wanted the same light heartedness of STAR TREK IV. The problem was that TREK V was a totally different movie. Unlike THE VOYAGE HOME, which was a trilogy resolution, THE FINAL FRONTIER was a stand-alone film with no loose ends for a closely related sequel. And so we have a clumsy Scotty bumbling around the service corridors, romantic overtures by Uhura, awkward campfire scenes, and a virtual Three Stooges scene with Kirk, Spock, and McCoy rocketing upward in one of the Enterprise's shafts. Additionally, the intergalactic friendly ending, with Star Fleet, Klingons and a Romulan all the best of buddies was too much of a leap of faith. This was corrected later in STAR TREK VI.
Overall the special effects were disappointing. Industrial Light and Magic was not involved in this movie. There are two versions of the story regarding ILM's absence. The first was that Paramount's budget did not allow for first rate effects and the production crew had to look elsewhere. The second possibility put forth by William Shatner in his book TREK MOVIES was that ILM was fully consumed with projects such as GHOST BUSTERS II, INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE, as well as special effects for STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION. Others point out that BACK TO THE FUTURE II & III were also on-going projects. The bottom line is that an effects firm based in Hoboken, NJ was retained for the task. The effects were good, but hardly what we were used to seeing.
It also seemed that no one wanted to write the script. The production was intially held up by a Hollywood writers' strike that disrupted motion picture and television production. By the time the strike ended there were a backlog of projects begging for writers. The fact that they were able to assemble a script for THE FINAL FRONTIER is amazing in and of itself. The unfortunate thing is that the flow of them movie, not wholly controled ruled by the editor, makes the script appear as if it was a hastily slapped together affair.
The cast was pleasantly surprised at Shatner's directorial style. Shatner faced several last minute changes to the movie when special effects monsters and other shots showed up poorly on film. There were several whole scenes that Shatner wanted to reshoot completely, but Paramount insisted the movie be completed as-is. Shater attempted to address the wrongs of the original production when video/DVD was re-released. Much like Robert Wise was allowed to retool STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE for DVD, so too did Shatner approach Paramount about re-shooting and correcting scenes for STAR TREK V. Alas, Paramount declined any moneys for the project.
Enough TREK bashing. The film did make money for Paramount. However, much like Dicken's character Oliver Twist they wanted more. The musical score is very much a Star Trek soundtrack. It is always great to see the original Enterprise crew together again. Overall the new Enterprise looks good and this was the first time since the series that we were treated to a full size shuttlecraft.
My one personal regret about this film was that it was one of the only Star Trek movies that I did not get to see in a theater. VHS and DVD presentation never equal the impact of film in a cinema. As such it is all to easy to pick over the more disappointing aspects of the picture.
Of course you have to own a copy of this movie. The beauty of the film is that it is not the hingepin to STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY. If you imagine THE FINAL FRONTIER almost as if it was a television special instead of chapter in the film saga you will enjoy it a lot more.
Worthless trainwreck.... .......2007-08-10
Not sure why this movie was made. I realize they were trying to venture away from the storyline that was Star Treks 2 through 4. However, they did a horrible job of it with this one. Spock's half brother? 1) Who cares? 2) Who believes it? After 50 years aboard the Enterprise you'd think he might have mentioned it to somebody by now. Surely it would've come up over dinner or something.
The entire film is dead and unbelieveable from that introductory moment. A feeling Vulcan that apparently was disowned or disinherited by his people. Shunned or what have you. He becomes a less maniacal version of Khan from Star Trek 2.
By the end, you just want Kirk to take out his phaser and kill the guy.
hey it's Star Trek.......2007-07-22
You either like Star Trek films or you don't. This is one of the better ones but not the best one.

Devoted Star Trek fans will surely cite the "even number" rule in evaluating the Original Crew Movie Collection, but all six of these films qualify as rousing entertainment. Undeniably, the even-numbered films in Paramount's lucrative Trek franchise tended to be the best, as demonstrated by the superiority of The Wrath of Khan, The Voyage Home, and The Undiscovered Country. And yet each film has something to offer die-hard Trekkers, beginning with the epic-scale wonders of the first Motion Picture (presented here as a two-disc special edition). Evolving from Gene Roddenberry's aborted attempt at a second Star Trek TV series, the effects-laden Motion Picture divided fans while proving that Star Trek had a promising big-screen future. Nicholas Meyer's The Wrath of Khan made good on that promise, reviving the Star Trek spirit and proving, in the case of Mr. Spock, that beloved characters "never really die." It's widely regarded as the best of these half-dozen features.
With its deadly Klingon confrontation, the Leonard Nimoy-directed Search for Spock was a thrilling (albeit contrived) excuse for Spock's inevitable resurrection, and its somber tone was readily countered by the Earth-based humor of Nimoy's The Voyage Home, combining a planetary crisis with a lively--and phenomenally popular--time-travel plot line. Unfortunately, William Shatner then lobbied for the director's chair, and The Final Frontier--an uneasy mixture of cheesy humor and grandiose themes--was the regrettable outcome. Paramount rallied by inviting Nicholas Meyer to repeat his Khan success, and Meyer rose to the occasion with the sharply scripted thrills of The Undiscovered Country. By ending the film with an official signature send-off from the "classic Trek" cast, the original crew brought their big-screen legacy to a graceful and upbeat conclusion, setting the stage for a transitional adventure in Star Trek: Generations. --Jeff Shannon

star trek.......2007-08-27
DVD format and restoration make these movies fresh as new ones. They are classic stories with the original cast but formatted in the latest technology and surround sound. Good investment and value.
Nothing compares to the original.......2007-08-21
If you are or are not a Trekkie but just enjoy a classic, adventure box set, this is the ideal box set for you. In my opinion, the original Star Trek cast was by far the best ever created. With William Shatner playing the role of Captain of the USS Enterprise and Leonard Nimoy as his commander, no other Star Trek cast could ever compare. With the exceptional supporting cast of DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, and Nichelle Nichols, The Original Star Trek Movie Collection, stands on it's own two feet. All movies are unique, with a flair for adventure, a touch of humor, and a deep human touch. If you are not a Star Trek fan, I would greatly suggest you rent or borrow the Fourth Movie first "The Voyage Home" and then decide whether or not to continue with the set. I promise you, you won't be dissapointed. And the others are equally as good.

Short version of a long story, while wiki-ing the night away, one link led to another which led to Ebert's review of "The Voyage Home" (you know, the one with the whales). He liked it. Since it was 3:00 AM, logic was not a factor so I found this box-set on Amazon, and one-click later...
I have to say that although I was never much of a Star Trek fan, I ended up watching all 3 of the "arc" movies: Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock, and Free Willy, I mean, Voyage Home. I enjoyed them all. They had the same old corny, humanistic, vaguely-mystical, always-swashbuckling appeal that made the original "Star Trek" series pleasant, albeit mindless, TV-viewing. And it is fun to see Montalban's plastic pecs (I don't buy his coy demurral that "everyone was in great shape".)
Unlike other space movies, like Stars Wars, let's say, these movies do not take themselves at all seriously, and therein lies their charm.
Caveat emptor: If you have seen these movies before, they do NOT improve with age. They are timeless...sort of like memories of childhood. The science is questionable...like "slinging" around the Sun to time-travel. Just don't think about it.
Even numbered Star Trek movies don't suck.......2007-05-20
A lot of Star Trek was about dealing with Aliens;
communicating with people who are different in fundamental ways.
Today we get the feeling that the human race can't even communicate
with itself when it comes to science.
Science has clearly warned about extreme climate change
dangers ( very like those of the genesis planet in StartTrek III),
yet politicians,leaders of industry and those who are generally
getting rich from the rape of the planet Earth refuse
to substantially change their damaging behavior.
We keep contributing to the future's "plastic Layer"!
I think in Star Trek II with the genetically engineered
ego maniac shows us that humanity has a lot to learn
about itself!Star Trek IV is one of my all time favorites.

The Star Trek movies are really great movies. I am very glad that I bought them.

Star Trek - Nemesis (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)
ASIN: B00006G8HZ
Release Date: 2002-10-22 |
Amazon.com
Spanning two decades and countless light years of interstellar adventure, Star Trek: The Motion Pictures Collection is a testament to the enduring goodwill of Gene Roddenberry's optimistic sci-fi concept. Long before Star Wars sparked an explosion of big-screen science fiction, Roddenberry had planned a second Star Trek TV series; the project fizzled, but its pilot script evolved into the first film in Paramount's most lucrative movie franchise. Despite its sluggish pace and bland "pajama" costuming, Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) offered a welcomed reunion of the "classic Trek" cast, packed with Douglas Trumbull's still-dazzling special effects. Trekkers were even more ecstatic when The Wrath of Khan (1982) revived the spirit of the original series, even though director Nicholas Meyer was a Trek neophyte. With Leonard Nimoy directing, The Search for Spock (1984) began where Khan left off, with a thrilling (albeit contrived) obligation to resurrect the formerly ill-fated Mr. Spock.
A box-office smash, Nimoy's The Voyage Home (1986) is the franchise's most accessible adventure--a high point offset by William Shatner's comparatively dreadful Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989). Meyer (and his penchant for quoting Shakespeare) returned for The Undiscovered Country (1991), a conspiracy thriller that put the series back on track, inspiring fans to invoke the "even number" rule in rating their franchise favorites. Generations (1994) gracefully passed the torch to TV's The Next Generation, bidding farewell to Captain Kirk with honor and integrity intact. Highlighted by the evolving humanity of Brent Spiner's android Lt. Comdr. Data, First Contact (1996) explored Star Trek history with a logical (hint) surprise encounter, and Insurrection (1998) provided an adequate expansion of the successful TNG series. Taken as a whole, these nine films demonstrate the consistent vitality of Roddenberry's original vision, stoking any Trekker's appetite for "ongoing missions" in Nemesis and beyond. --Jeff Shannon

Do Not Buy This -- Be Patient!.......2004-12-26
There is no point in purchasing this set when it only includes a few of the special edition DVDs. Despite the attractiveness of the box itself, it is best to wait until all of special/director's edition movies come out.
Hold out.......2004-02-25
The special editions are coming! They're done with the first six already, making this collection out of date. Another blow to the set is Nemesis' DVD release. The two together tell me about how old this set is.
(Eric, Montalban's chest is real. Meyer says so on one of the featurettes. It's his trainer's fault if it looks cheesy.)
The First 9 -- some extras, but not a lot........2004-01-03
This Box set was one of the first DVD sets I got, almost a year ago. It includes all of the Star Trek movies up to and including Insurrection. This set does not have Nemesis.
A NEW BOX SET with that 10th Movie is out now.
Heads Up -- this 9 movie set (which I own and watched) and the other 10 movie collection do not include all of the Special Editions. So you get a little less bonus material, and it is pricey. But hey, it is Star Trek.
The First 3 films in this set have two discs with lots of extras, interviews, trekkie stuff. The other six are single discs only, and honestly they are pretty light on anything "bonus". Like nil.
The Films are old, and it shows. Just look at the trailers on STTMP, and you'll know what I mean. The effects really do look corny by today's standards, but the stories are solid and the acting is decent -- more or less throughout the whole series.
I will skip the review of each film, and sum it up -- this is a solid buy for the first 9 movies, but additional special edition discs will be coming out soon. You might be better off picking and choosing. But I got this and started my DVD collection with a decent beginning.
Captains Log 6/11/03 Star Trek just got better.......2003-06-11
This is the date i wrote my review and got this box set. It is so kool + 9 awesome flicks. I have watched 1,2,3,& 4 so far and let me tell you they are nothing like i imagined. I thought they would be like the star trek TV show. But there not they have the same characters and all but so much more. I would really buy this before it goes out of stock again.
Sci-fi adventure, with mixed results........2003-01-29
(Opinions of The Motion Picture and The Undiscovered Country are based on years old memory)
The original Star Trek crew worked solely on the basis of its lead trio. William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and DeForest Kelley made for arguably the most charismatic and enjoyable trio to watch in cinematic history. As for the rest of the crew, I didn't much care for anyone else, though George Takei probably came across the best as Sulu, mostly because he never succumbs to the silliness that pervades the other three (Scotty's prat falls, Chekov's accents and mispronunciations, and Uhura's horrific dance number in Star Trek V).
It's been years since I've seen The Motion Picture, and memory serves that it was an engrossing adventure that was so far off from the camp I'd been used to while watching the original TV series. Basically, I liked it, and this is without having seen the director's cut, which I hope to catch some day. The Motion Picture is decidedly an attempt at the kind of cerebral science fiction that 2001 attempted, and while I'm quite certain it's not in the same league as that film, it holds its own.
Ooh, boy, it's with The Wrath of Khan that I'm sure people will shouting blasphemy when I state that I actually didn't much enjoy the film. Sure, the effects were good and the trio was as entertaining to watch as usual, but Nicholas Meyers' direction is stale, Ricardo Montalban is a cheesy-looking villain (that fake chest can't help, either) who talks tough without actually proving his dangerousness, and the space battles prove to be little different than two submarines stalking each other. The idea of two starships battling each other has never appealed to me, and the case is no different here. I will admit, however, that Spock's death scene is poignant.
Star Trek III is even worse than II. Cheap-looking sets, meaningless blather, and the overall snail pace make this easily the most boring film of the entire franchise. The only highlight is Christopher Lloyd as a Klingon commander.
Star Trek IV is a marked improvement, an enjoyable and funny fish-out-of-water tale. There's little else going on here than seeing our beloved crew interact in the 20th century, but that alone is enough to inspire a barrage of belly laughs, particularly Spock's use of colorful metaphors. Catherine Hicks' rather neurotic performance as a whale specialist is pretty annoying, and a downspot in an otherwise entertaining outing.
Star Trek V is easily the silliest of the lot, but it's also kind of fun and the premise is the most ambitious of them all: it's an all-out quest for God, who is believed to live in the center of the galaxy. The trio is given more screentime together here than in any other film, Jerry Goldsmith's score is marvelous (the best of the series), and there's actually a genuine sense of awe when they reach their destination. Oh, this isn't a good movie, but it's an undeniable watchable and often entertaining one, and I personally liked it more than Star Trek III.
Star Trek VI is the standout, the best movie of the original crew's series. It delivers the most solid plot of the bunch, good and plentiful action scenes, and a healthy dose of witty repartee. The ending is very sentimental, but it's welcome, considering this is the end of the journey for our long-running intrepid heroes.

Movie critic Roger Ebert summed it up very succinctly: "Of all of the Star Trek movies, this is the worst." Subsequent films in the popular series have done nothing to disprove this opinion; we can be grateful that they've all been significantly better since this film was released in 1989. After Leonard Nimoy scored hits with Star Trek III and IV, William Shatner used his contractual clout (and bruised ego) to assume directorial duties on this mission, in which a rebellious Vulcan (Laurence Luckinbill) kidnaps Federation officials in his overzealous quest for the supreme source of creation. That's right, you heard it correctly: Star Trek V is about a crazy Vulcan's search for God. By the time Kirk, Spock, and their Federation cohorts are taken to the Great Barrier of the galaxy, this journey to "the final future" has gone from an embarrassing prologue to an absurd conclusion, with a lot of creaky plotting in between. Of course, die-hard Trekkies will still allow this movie into their video collections; but they'll only watch it when nobody else is looking. After this humbling experience, Shatner wisely relinquished the director's chair to Star Trek II's Nicholas Meyer. --Jeff Shannon

MST3K Fans Rejoice -- Rifftrax is Here!.......2007-08-25
The bittersweet sequel to Star Treks I, II, III and IV was indeed the "Final Frontier", one last voyage for our heroic Captain Kirk and the brave crew of the Enterprise - except for another one to follow. And then of course the several dozen spin-offs and spin-off sequels to follow. "The Final Frontier" sees a special guest appearance by the one character fit to take equal billing with William Shatner: God.
And so this RiffTrax deserves an awe-inspiring guest appearance by none other than Kevin Murphy, Mike's riffing companion for years on the Satellite of Love! It's a RiffTrax lover's dream come true. (And Mike and Kevin promise not to make any jokes comparing the Enterprise and Charmin
Hey Paramount, How About Some new FX?.......2007-08-22
In 1989, this movie suffered from several problems that were unique to this particular film, but one thing is shared with later Trek films was a diminished budget. Paramount never really believed in Star Trek's staying power until the Next Generation was a hit. After that, Trek could do no wrong, and Paramount couldn't be swayed from supporting dismal outings like Voyager or Star Trek: Insurrection. Before they saw the light though, they kept cutting the budgets. Maybe they felt they better be careful just in case Trek really WAS a fad after over 20 years of fervent devotion by fans. Because of the budget's shrinkage, and the actors' fees swelling, there was less and less money that found its way onto the screen (The point of making a film)! To cut corners, they crossed off ILM from FX duties, and went to a smaller, cheaper vendor for this film. They did a good job, with the budget they had to work with. Truly. But after seeing some pretty wonderful stuff in the previous 4 pictures, I came away feeling a bit disappointed. The Final Frontier looked a little flat and phony. New FX wont fix all the flaws with this picture, but it would go a long way toward making this Trek one that could stand tall with the rest of the films. Be a good marketing move on Paramounts' part, too. How about it guys? How much could it cost? You let bunch of computer geeks fool with Star Trek I, and that picture didnt even NEED any help! ILM could probably bang out a whole batch of new FX in an afternoon, if they didnt stop for coffee breaks.
Every Franchise Has its Peaks and Valleys.......2007-08-18
STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER was definitely a valley. According to Leonard Nimoy in his book I AM SPOCK, a director cannot overcome a bad script. A pared down version of this story would have made for a good 50-minute episode of STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION. Unfortunately Trek fans were expecting much more after STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME.
In summary: James T. Kirk continues to ride the midlife crisis he started in STAR TREK II. The beautiful new trans-warp Enterprise we saw at the conclusion of THE VOYAGE HOME is actually a technological lemon with Mr. Scott scurrying about the ship to effect repairs. With a skeleton crew and only partially functioning systems, the Enterprise races off to defuse a hostage situation on Nibus III. Nimbus, a desert planet jointly administered by the Federation, Klingons, and Romulans, has been overun by a crusading army of zealots led by Vulcan mystic Sybok. By the way, Sybok is Spock's older half brother.
The hostage situation however, is only a ploy to lure a Federation Star Ship to the quadrant. Kirk and a pitifully small shore party unsuccessfully attempt to liberate the hostages and instead lose the Enterprise. Sybok, now in control of the Enterprise and its crew, guides the ship to a largely unexplored area of the galaxy in an attempt to find the creator of the universe. Breaching a cloudy barrier around a hidden planet, Sybok, Kirk, McCoy, and Spock face off with marooned evil entity masquarading as Sybok's image of the Almighty.
Sybok, realizing his arrogance put them all in jeopardy, sacrifices himself so that the other can escape. A pursuing Klingon Bird of Prey appears in the nick of time and rescues Kirk. On board the Enterprise the former hostages, Klingons, and ship's crew celebrate the rescue with social mixer. The film concludes with Kirk, McCoy, and Spock continuing their interrupted shore leave at Yosemite National Park singing around a evening campfire.
This was William Shatner's first outing as a director. Despite my rather scarcastic synopsis of the movie, Shatner did surprisingly well as a director. STAR TREK V was a learning experience for him. Shatner's contract with Paramount guarantied that he and Leonard Nimoy had directorial opportunities. Nimoy had already directed STAR TREK III and THE VOYAGE HOME. As such, Shatner was also eligible for two films. It is likely that Paramount kept a tight hold on the budget for this movie as it was Shatner's directorial debut. After all, STAR TREK IV was well received by the public and made a lot of money. Additionally, THE VOYAGE HOME could have served as a perfect ending to the trilogy -- if you exclude STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE.
The budget constraints are evident throughout the picture. Some special effects footage, such as the views of the Enterprise in space dock and the Klingon bird of prey were recycled from earlier movies. Some of the NEXT GENERATION corridors were also included as part of the Enterprise-A. Was it not also convenient for the Enterprise to be -- once again -- staffed by a skeleton crew?
The ship's transporter system likewise did not function until the end of the film -- thus reducing the need for trasporter special effects. Although the production team did build a full scale mock up of a shuttle craft (and I applaud the movie for this) we are initially only treated to a shot of a spot light looming behind the trees when Uhura steps out to taxi Kirk, McCoy, and Spok back to the ship.
One of the aspects that hurt this film was that there was too much comic relief. Paramount reportedly turned up its corporate nose, and checkbook, to a darker and more serious tone. Executives wanted the same light heartedness of STAR TREK IV. The problem was that TREK V was a totally different movie. Unlike THE VOYAGE HOME, which was a trilogy resolution, THE FINAL FRONTIER was a stand-alone film with no loose ends for a closely related sequel. And so we have a clumsy Scotty bumbling around the service corridors, romantic overtures by Uhura, awkward campfire scenes, and a virtual Three Stooges scene with Kirk, Spock, and McCoy rocketing upward in one of the Enterprise's shafts. Additionally, the intergalactic friendly ending, with Star Fleet, Klingons and a Romulan all the best of buddies was too much of a leap of faith. This was corrected later in STAR TREK VI.
Overall the special effects were disappointing. Industrial Light and Magic was not involved in this movie. There are two versions of the story regarding ILM's absence. The first was that Paramount's budget did not allow for first rate effects and the production crew had to look elsewhere. The second possibility put forth by William Shatner in his book TREK MOVIES was that ILM was fully consumed with projects such as GHOST BUSTERS II, INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE, as well as special effects for STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION. Others point out that BACK TO THE FUTURE II & III were also on-going projects. The bottom line is that an effects firm based in Hoboken, NJ was retained for the task. The effects were good, but hardly what we were used to seeing.
It also seemed that no one wanted to write the script. The production was intially held up by a Hollywood writers' strike that disrupted motion picture and television production. By the time the strike ended there were a backlog of projects begging for writers. The fact that they were able to assemble a script for THE FINAL FRONTIER is amazing in and of itself. The unfortunate thing is that the flow of them movie, not wholly controled ruled by the editor, makes the script appear as if it was a hastily slapped together affair.
The cast was pleasantly surprised at Shatner's directorial style. Shatner faced several last minute changes to the movie when special effects monsters and other shots showed up poorly on film. There were several whole scenes that Shatner wanted to reshoot completely, but Paramount insisted the movie be completed as-is. Shater attempted to address the wrongs of the original production when video/DVD was re-released. Much like Robert Wise was allowed to retool STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE for DVD, so too did Shatner approach Paramount about re-shooting and correcting scenes for STAR TREK V. Alas, Paramount declined any moneys for the project.
Enough TREK bashing. The film did make money for Paramount. However, much like Dicken's character Oliver Twist they wanted more. The musical score is very much a Star Trek soundtrack. It is always great to see the original Enterprise crew together again. Overall the new Enterprise looks good and this was the first time since the series that we were treated to a full size shuttlecraft.
My one personal regret about this film was that it was one of the only Star Trek movies that I did not get to see in a theater. VHS and DVD presentation never equal the impact of film in a cinema. As such it is all to easy to pick over the more disappointing aspects of the picture.
Of course you have to own a copy of this movie. The beauty of the film is that it is not the hingepin to STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY. If you imagine THE FINAL FRONTIER almost as if it was a television special instead of chapter in the film saga you will enjoy it a lot more.
Worthless trainwreck.... .......2007-08-10
Not sure why this movie was made. I realize they were trying to venture away from the storyline that was Star Treks 2 through 4. However, they did a horrible job of it with this one. Spock's half brother? 1) Who cares? 2) Who believes it? After 50 years aboard the Enterprise you'd think he might have mentioned it to somebody by now. Surely it would've come up over dinner or something.
The entire film is dead and unbelieveable from that introductory moment. A feeling Vulcan that apparently was disowned or disinherited by his people. Shunned or what have you. He becomes a less maniacal version of Khan from Star Trek 2.
By the end, you just want Kirk to take out his phaser and kill the guy.
hey it's Star Trek.......2007-07-22
You either like Star Trek films or you don't. This is one of the better ones but not the best one.
