About This Movie

So, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, directed by Shatner himself, has this oddball charm that’s hard to pin down. It feels like a departure from the usual Trek fare, with the crew tackling themes of faith and the search for meaning. The pacing is a bit uneven; it moves from introspective moments to some action sequences that feel less polished than previous entries. The practical effects are a mixed bag—some stuff really shines, while other bits, well, show their budget. It’s worth noting that Shatner's performance as Kirk has this rawness, almost like he’s pushing against the script at times. If you're into the quirks of Trek lore or just appreciate its 80s vibe, this one has its own unique flavor.

Released on June 9, 1989.First Trek film directed by William Shatner.Shot on location in Yosemite National Park.Features a score by composer Jerry Goldsmith.
