Star Trek V: Shatner's Ego Trip

by AliventiAsylum AliventiAsylum is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Mar 19 '01
Pros: the cinematography is pretty good
Cons: everything else
A few years ago, my husband bought me a 6 video set of all of the Star Trek movies in widescreen format. To do this review, I had to actually unwrap this movie and watch it again. It was the only one that had never been opened.

"I liked him better when he was dead."

by alexdg1 alexdg1 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 16 '04
Pros: A few good lines, a good score, and Disc 2.
Cons: Most of the film itself. Bad effects.
Reviewer's Log, Stardate 200407.16: I had hoped to do the reviews of the Original Series-crew's films in chronological order (I-VI), but when I did the required product search, Epinions -- or maybe a Borg implant -- would shunt me off to a "related ...

Oh yes...by far the worst of the StarTrek films...OSTH W/O

by scotte1218 , Feb 02 '04
Pros: Some tiny bits of humor.
Cons: script, direction, effects, acting, heck...you name it, you can put it here
With the release of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country on DVD, I was all set to write up a review of that fine film. But when I started thinking about it, the dismal Star Trek V: The Final Frontier came to mind. I'm not sure how this ...

Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier - perhaps the worst Star Trek movie.

by quitesimply , Jul 15 '08
Pros: Row Row Row your boat - simply classic Kirk, Spock and McCoy....
Cons: Boring, illogical, slow, poor.
As you may know, it seems that any Star Trek movie that is an odd number, turns out to be a poor movie. One would hope that this movie could change the mold…… Sybock, Spock’s half brother hijacks the Enterprise and forces the crew to travel to ...

Please, Captain, not in front of the Klingons...

by kiljoi , Nov 18 '03
Pros: God is a pretty blue color.. I'm thinking of decorating my apartment in God.
Cons: Whoa. They are infinite and profound.
One of the things I love about the sadomasochistic relationship I am currently in is the way my boyfriend drives me to discover things about myself by pushing me beyond the limits of my pain. Tonight, for example, he made me watch a Star Trek movie... ...

The One with the Crazy Vulcan

by marie_ , Oct 16 '01
Pros: ...um...uh...well...the soundtrack's pretty good.
Cons: Yes...and lots of them.
After typically disastrous British weather on Friday, I was forced to choose between getting soaked or a night of bad television. Being the adventurous sort, I decided to stay in and risk watching the sort of mindless filler that takes up the schedules...

To boldly go where no one wants to watch

by SimonCook , Feb 14 '02
Pros: Good character development and interaction at times.
Cons: Poorly conceived movie with poor effects and indifferent acting.
Before I start, the title of the movie is perhaps the best part of the film as it reminds me of a fairly funny joke:

'How many ears does Captain Kirk have? Three- left, right and final front ear.'

After watching Star Trek 4 -...

Poor Story Redeemed by Character Moments

by brianjessica , Jun 10 '04
Pros: several really good character moments
Cons: poor story, bad special effects.
Star Trek V ranks at or near the bottom of the Trek films for most fans and casual viewers. And upon viewing this on its special edition DVD, my opinion has not changed. This is a film that tries hard but ultimately fails due to poor plotting, sub-par ...

With the success of "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" (reviewed at: h ttp://www.epinions.com/content _354559233668 ), the "Star Trek" franchise resurrected the idea of comedic interplay between the principle characters ...

Worst of Trek

by rfish Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jan 16 '00
Pros: Star Trek With Entire Cast
Cons: Plot, Story, Direction
Probably the worst of the Star Trek movies with the original cast. The plot was weak and I feel the directing was weak also. During this movie the first thing we are hit with is that Spock has a half brother who is just overflowing with emotion....

Life, The Universe, The Enterprise And Everything. (Mostly)

by mickp Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 06 '00
Pros: Some of the light-hearted moments synonymous with Kirk and the gang. Great musical score. Entertaining for the most part.
Cons: Never really goes beyond "adequate". Poor Special effects. Plot a bit silly.
I remember heading off to the cinema with three of my friends to view Star Trek 5 - The Final Frontier. The previews had impressed us and I had really been brought fully into the Trek fold by the excellent Star Trek 4 - The Voyage Home and...

Star Trek V: The Financial Failure

by bad_atom , Dec 29 '00
Pros: Good music, camraderie, interesting concept
Cons: Full of stupid jokes, Klingons, crappy SFX, Shatner directed
This review is going to be a little different. It's in the format of an interview between myself and "William Shatner", the director and co-writer of "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier".

MD "Tell me about your...

Star Dreck

by Chuck_Hansen , Nov 30 '99
Pros: Thankfully, they didn't end the series on this movie.
Cons: Not a single redeeming minute in the whole thing
After Leonard Nimoy's successful turns as director, Shatner decides to sit in the director's chair, and turns out the absolute worst Trek that ever was, save perhaps the TV episode "Spock's Brain". No, strike that. At least when I see...

What Does God Need With A Starship?

by poseidon Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Dec 11 '99
Pros: its a Trek film
Cons: its the 2nd worst of all of them
What does God need with a starship?

That question, asked by James T. Kirk to his adversary, has to qualify as the single most stupid question ever asked in the history of man.

Welcome to the world of odd-numbered Trek films....
