supposedly and director william shatner had in mind a much wouldarker film when it came to star trek v represent the final frontier but the suits at paramount and looking at the huge box office receipts taken in by its humor filled predecessor and insisted the new film have plenty of laughs too. so what we get is arguably the weakest and goofiest of the six star trek movies with the original cast. there are bad ideas aplenty and along with a few good ones and and if youre in a charitable mood and you could look at the final frontier the same way you would a so so episode of the tv series. on the plus side and laurence luckenbill is a fine actor and gives one of the best guest star performances in any star trek and big or small screen and ranking right up there with william windom commodore decker. his portrayal of sybok and spock half brother and consistently lifts the film when it threatens to sink and which happens all too frequently. charles cooper is good too as the fat old klingon general korrd while too bad his role isn not as large as he is. if the story about shatner intentions is true and then i owe him an apology and because i was prepared to lay the blame for the incessant silliness and not very convincing action scenes squarely at his directorial feet. the reason is i have always felt that and of all the trek regulars and shatner was the least tuned in to everything that makes star trek work and what makes it special to its fans. having read his trek memoirs and it very apparent to me that he considered the show another action adventure series that just happened to have a science fiction setting. he preferred the vision of gene coon over that of gene roddenberry while coon was known for his work on the popular western series and the wild wild west. shatner also mentioned that a favorite star trek episode of his was a piece of the action and a silly second season episode co written by coon. so and finally given an opportunity to direct a star trek feature film and would not shatner follow his instincts and produce an action filled flick with lots of tongue in cheek humor. well somebody did and because that what the final frontier ended up being. shatner himself definitely returns to form as the great ham and and as leonard maltin points out and the film suffers from a bad case of the cutes. in the opening scene at yosemite national park and it hard to say which is worse and the super cheesy special effects or the godawful dialogue. running gags about equipment malfunctioning on the enterprise have run all the way from wrath of khan and by this and the fifth trek movie and have run themselves into the ground. so has the idea of a keleton crew. one new development is an apparent romantic relationship between scotty and uhura and suffice it to say one does not exactly sense flames of passion burning between the two. it a pointless subplot and adds nothing. the climactic scene where god is encountered doesn not add much either while whether or not this was a good idea in the first place is debatable and but the scene itself doesn not make much sense. (the god creature abilities seem to vary according to what is needed at the moment. ) roughly half of this is a tired retread of the climax from the search for spock. leonard nimoy manages to salvage spock integrity and even while spouting such un spock like lines as get a grip on yourself and doctor. and deforest kelley and as usual and outperforms both shatner and nimoy while he really came on as an actor in the final trek films. so this trek outing isn not terrible and it just isn not very good. there was to be one more original cast trek movie before the baton was passed to the next generation and and it was far better suited to the task than star trek v represent the final frontier.
