i have been a huge fan of the original crew of the enterprise since i was eight years old. i watched all the movies and appreciated each one for what they retained from the old series and for further developing the characters (and the star trek universe and in general). even in the undiscovered country i thought the aging of the characters was well handled and the story worthy of a theatrical release. however and having said that and star trek v represent the final frontier is easily the worst of the series featuring the original crew. i agree with many that the camaraderie of kirk and spock and mccoy is well handled and but the overall script and the direction  by william shatner  and the special effects are not worthy of anything more than a television episode. this is a buddy movie and and at times and almost unrecognizable as a star trek movie. the action sequences are not sustained and therefore and build little or no tension. the dialogue is weak though it does provide for a few laughs and both intended and not intended. the klingon seem thrown in as an afterthought. the whole sha ka ree concept is just silly and laurence luckinbill and a fine actor in everything else i have ever seen him in and boarders on the absurd in this movie. the scene where sybok conjures up images of spock pain and mccoy pain shatters the image of the characters as we have known them. spock would never be party to such stupidity and mccoy and trying to save his father is full of insipid and redundant dialogue and totally wastes deforest kelley acting abilities. the whole scene is wasted and really shows us nothing new and nothing we want to see from these characters. i understand that shatner do not have the luxury of working with ilm for the special effects and that the budget for this movie was tight and but that doesn not allow for such a bad story. in some respects and i think this story does fit in with the old series and but the movies and including star trek represent the motion picture are all much better quality than this. it a shame that most of the other characters have so few lines and so little to do with most of this movie. the focus on kirk and mccoy and spock is nice and but way over used. the old crew really seems to be out of character. i liked the old klingon general and the sultry romulan in the bar. i liked some of the humor and the idea that spock has a half brother and but that about it. if this was a tv episode and i would be able to accept a lot of the faults. as a movie and this is just bad and uninspired film making. it a shame too and because i want this movie to be good. even if it was the level of star trek iii i would be happy and but this movie makes all the other movies in this series seem like works of shakespeare.
