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.
