Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is not the space-bomb that its reputation suggests.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 26, 2024

The Final Frontier offers a frightening look into the ego of an actor who writes and directs himself as the man who proves God does not exist.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 5, 2023

Easily the weakest of all 13 Star Trek feature films to date.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 11, 2022

Simultaneously obvious and obtuse.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 5, 2022

While intimate scenes of male bonding among Kirk, Spock and "Bones" McCoy are particularly delightful, the film's overall themes -- God creation, friendships as family -- are never tied together or amply explained.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 17, 2021

Not the strongest franchise entry, the film features impressive location work in areas within driving reach of Yosemite, including tufa formations known as the Trona Pinnacles at the dry Searles Lake stepping in as a planet called Shakari.

| Aug 10, 2021

It's slow, unfunny, unexciting, and somewhat unfamiliar, as if created by people who aren't fans of the show and who have no idea what fans wish to see.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Sep 8, 2020

Without question the most pedestrian of all the Trek movies, The Final Frontier is a watchable yet frustratingly wrong-footed, forgettable effort.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 31, 2020

The real tragedy of Trek V is that there are faint glimmers throughout, poking through the wreckage, of the deeper meaning the filmmakers were striving for.

| Original Score: C | Apr 8, 2019

The film is neither much of a character story nor an action adventure.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 23, 2017

It has high adventure, nifty special effects and much good humor, but it also has a wonderful resonance to it.

| Sep 7, 2016

The absolute nadir of the series, a movie so bad in so many ways that the second-worst has to squint and use binoculars to see that far down.

| Original Score: 2/10 | May 24, 2013

Worst in series; some tricky religious content.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 15, 2010

Easily the weakest of the original cast Star Trek films.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 1, 2010

Final Frontier is a warmly crafted picture only lacking a sophisticated technical and dramatic finesse the earlier features held in abundance. The film is never aggressively odious, just undernourished.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 26, 2009

Did it really take William Shatner in the director's chair to finally give us a decent Star Trek movie?

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 5, 2009

William Shatner's inauspicious feature directing debut is a double letdown.

| May 19, 2008

Although the film's ontological approach may be intriguing, this rather dull entry fails to generate the kind of thoughtful, exciting adventure that made the Gene Roddenberry 온라인카지노추천 series so compelling.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 19, 2008

The worst Star Trek movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 19, 2008

[The] special effects, despite the hefty budget, look strictly bargain basement.
