Summary: Trek V-A Satisfying Entry in the Series
Review: There is nothing like a Trek big screen film that begins with a prologue.(Trivia:There was an original prologue that was cut from Generations where we see Kirk skkydiving, and then being informed of the christening of the latest Enterprise!)Laurence Luckinbull is fun to watch as Spock half-brother.People complain about the effects of this film.I don't see the problem with them.They serve the film as the effects in any Trek flick would! This film is fun, mainly, because there are a lot of scenes involving the trio(you know who I mean too!)Scene where Nichols sings is outstanding(that is a thrill back to the series when she did that on occasion-remember Charlie X episode).This film caught a lot of flack, but it is just as fun to watch as Wrath of Khan if you ask me.

Summary: Starts well and then falls away.An idea for Paramount .
Review: "Every man hides a secret pain"says Star Trek 5.I'm sure that women would wonder what happened to them in this little piece of philosophy.Seriously,Paramount should redo the effects of this film.Even the current tv show has better effects so it wouldn't cost much to redo them.And one really good idea:get the supporting cast-Nichell Nichols,James Doohan,George Takei and Walter Koenig to sit down and do a commentary on the Star Trek films.What great stories they could tell!And what a great marketing ploy it would be.

Summary: A Fantastic Premise
Review: Star Trek V- The Final Frontier is one of my favorite Star Trek stories...ever. I'm not jumping on the bandwagon and picking this movie apart because of some bizzare "William Shatner" hatred like so many other reviews out here display. On the contrary, I felt this movie was the very best reflection of what the original series was. On one side, it was campy, silly, and lacking in special effects (just like the original 60's episodes). On the other side, we have a very serious story that speaks to us about inner journeys, false beliefs, friendship, and discovery (hmmmm....also just like the original 60's show would have done!) "The Final Frontier" is a fantastic premise that,sadly, was not able to be fully realized. If you look deep enough into the film and what it is trying to say, you will see this. The exploration of our inner demons and pains is handled very well, as we are reminded that without these parts of ourselves, we are actually lost. The idea of misguided loyalties and beliefs is clearly shown in Sybok's ill-fated quest. In this day and age where money, power, and careers are drawing people in and causing us to forget that our relationships are what truly matter, this is even more relevant. Sybok's "God" is nothing more than the manifestation of these things, and he realizes his mistake after it is too late (like so many of us). We are treated to one of the best examples of the "Kirk, Spock, McCoy" relationship ever filmed. The three are ultimately victorious in the film because their friendship is able to survive tis roller-coaster ride that Sybok has forced upon them. The campfire scene shows how these men can function as PEOPLE, not just heros. It's an important scene for true Star Trek fans. The feeling of wonder and discovery are also resurrected in Trek V. As we approach the Great Barrier at the center of the galaxy, we are along for the ride, ready to be the first to see what lies beyond. THIS and everything else I've mentioned is what makes Star Trek great. Forget about the bad visual effects (but try to imagine how cool this movie would have looked if it was filmed today). Forget the plotholes and continiuity flaws. And DO NOT blame William Shatner. Just because he jokingly said "get a life" 15 years ago is no reason to hate the man. Those who feel that way...maybe he was right. Enjoy the closest thing to true Trek (along with Star Trek II) since 1969.

Summary: Great Expectations disappoint
Review: This movie is a classic example of impossibly high expectations resulting in the fans rejecting a story. Consider the possibility that it's possible to sincerely believe something to be true, and to tragically discover you are mistaken. This story explores the power of the cult of personality, the frailty of our human form as well as the power the guilt we carry around with us can have over us. These are relevant topics, and issues many struggle to explore. Many of us turn to false, self-satisfying, self-worshiping 'gods' that only tell us what we want to hear. This is a frontier that has almost never been explored in this series. Despite some flaws, and some dated, pre-digital effects, this is a very interesting story if you let it be what it is - a story about a journey of faith, and the discoveries and friendships you find along the way.

Summary: Twelve more beers and I'll appreciate this movie
Review: This movie was so ridiculously bad. Shatner attempts to be philosophical, writing a script in which the crew of the Enterprise visits "God", who, for some reason, confines himself in some forsaken region of the galaxy. At one point "God" asks the crew if he could borrow the spacecraft so he could leave the forsaken place. The crew are suspicious, "What would GOD want to do with a spaceship?". That's how deep this movie is.

Summary: terrible
Review: This was, by far, the worst of the Star Trek movies. As a "die hard" Trekkie, I was completely disappointed with the story, the writing, the acting. The special effects were okay. The only credit to this film was the introduction of the new type II phaser. Shame on you guys.

Summary: Not very good compared to the others.
Review: I am a big trek fan. But this movie was a mistake. I like what Leonard Nimoy said about it though. In "I AM SPOCK" he basically tells everybody not to blame Bill Shatner for it, because he believes Bill is a great director, but that the fault lies in the very weak storyline. Well who am I to argue with Leonard Nimoy? This is a very lame storyline if there ever was one, I won't waste anyone's time running over it. (But I do agree with the people who said that Bill shouldn't have directed. This was definatly an ego issue for him.) I will say that you should go rent this movie before you buy it. IF you are a die hard trekkie and you find you must have it just to say you have it, that's fine, but I wouldn't cry in my cheerioes if I couldn't get it tomorrow. It's really not a very good movie.

Summary: Star Trek V - The Final Frontier
Review: I am a trekkie fan, so, critics will probably say I am prejudiced for this movie. True, It was not the best, but it was very good. It was entertaining as they always are when this cast gets together. I see it many times over, and I have added it to my collection. To make fun of William Shatner is a terrible thing. Why don't you try to direct a full length film and see how you do. After, it's only fantasy, have a good time when you see these things instead of picking them apart. My rating - 4 stars, so there!

Summary: I asked my girlfriend what her favorite part was ...
Review: ... and she said, "The end." Boy, did this stink. It was very uninteresting, and anyone could see where the plot was going. About 70% of the Next Generation episodes have been better than this thing.

Summary: Very stupid, but fun!
Review: Shatner strokes his ego by pretending that he, as an overweight and evidently out of shape man, can climb sheer cliffs with no equipment. Uhura has a thing for Scotty. This fat, out of shape Enterprise crew is sent a commando mission. The crew of the Enterprise searches for God... in their spaceship. If you take this film seriously, you're bound to have your intelligence grievously insulted. You're not going to get anything out of this film, so don't even try. Just have fun. The dialogue, acting, and plot are quite stupid, but if you can ignore that, this is a fun trek film. Appreciate the film for its humor (especially when it's unintentional). Most of all, appreciate the film for what it is: Star Trek! Trekkies will find this movie worthwhile. For Trek non-fanatics, stay well away from 5. You'd be better served with one of the even numbered films.
