Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This film is the fifth film of the franchise and addresses, in the worst way, a spiritual theme: the search for God. The whole script is based on an unsuccessful space travel in search of the creator of all things. When a script starts from a bad idea it is lost, and this case proves this theory. The story of this movie sucks from beginning to end, and I do not even know how it was possible that such idiocy was actually carried on. The special effects are within what has been done in the previous films, the performance of the actors was not particularly inspiring, but what really put the film to waste was the plot with such absurd ideas. A missed opportunity.

The Final Frontier is the weakest movie out of the Star Trek Motion Picture-Saga, but not as bad as it's made out to be...The positive aspects first: The crew is as interesting and even funnier as always, and their are a few very good scenes like when McCoy, Kirk and Spock are on a camping trip together, or when they get their inner pain shown to get over it, which has the hardest effect on (and best performance from) McCoy (DeForest Kelley).The cinematography is pretty good and the movie has a neat look overall, the lighting could need more atmosphere and contrast, but that also works in it's favour in terms of the look of the new Enterprise which isn't nearly ready to go, and has many glitches and things that have to be fixed, so the bland lighting looks like the work lights on a construction site and give you the feeling, that everything's still broken.Even the theme of the movie isn't that bad, the search for our reason of existence, the fight for our believes, and to break frontiers no one ever broke before. But none of this themes get to be explored, or a satisfying conclusion so that you feel like you wasted your time to hear a story with no meaning.The soundtrack is very good and reuses, as the only Movie from the original series, Jerry Goldsmiths theme for the first film, which get to be used for all the next Generation films. Also the sound effects are really good.The movie has many problems, which is the reason why the positive section of the review already has negative points, but i think it's a solid entertaining Star Trek movie.Most of the problems are because of money restrains, which prevented William Shatner (who directed only this movie, but not a single one again) to get his full vision on screen, which could have been better, or worse, but it would have had a more satisfying ending.It's overall a pretty decent Sci-Fi-movie which is mostly for Star Trek-Fans, because the reason this movie works even with all the errors, is because of the crew which hold together the whole film...

By the beginning of the nineties Star Trek wasn't hip anymore and it shows on this flick. It's the most hated one and I really found it a boring flick for one reason only, the characters became parodies of themselves. Even as a lot of money was spend to make this flick, it only shows on the effects, it do is laughable at moments.Just have a look at Uhura dancing, how goofy is that. It rather started okay but falls quickly into a boring thing. Best thing for me was the opening sequence. What also shows is that some actors are becoming to old. And the worst thing are some scene's that really are cartoonish. The scene in the elevator shaft with Spock and his jets on his shoes that is really a turn off. And the scene at the fire in the beginning in Yosemite, way too long. One to forget.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

This movie has the reputation of being the worst Star Trek movie ever made. I would not go that far but, it is not a great movie. Its premise while interesting is not fully realized and the journey to get there is not well paced or written. The special effects are very lackluster and are not as good as what came before or after. Not everything in this movie is bad because it does have a few saving graces. The chemistry between the three leads (Shatner, Kelly, and Nimoy) is still spot on and they are the best characters in the movie while the supporting cast is under used. The villain is also compelling and well acted, his character is acted well and has a misguided noble pursuit that you can empathize with. The lesson about fear is a good one and you get a good look into the mind of the three leads. This movie all together is not the worst Star Trek movie but it is not that good either. It has bad writing for most characters, the situation is handled badly, the humor is forced, and Shatner's ego does overshadow and make his direction sloppy. However the three characters are still good together and the villain can be compelling to make it an OK watch.
