    I personally really enjoyed this film. I think the idea for the story is very ambitious. And they found a good way to avoid rubbing religious people the wrong way.
    (The ending of the comic adaptation is much better btw).
    Interestingly, this film almost works as a full circle with the Motion Picture, with the whole 'searching for our creator' idea.
    The roles are simply reversed.
    In the Motion Picture, an AI was looking for it's creator which is us. And in the Final Frontier, we're looking for OUR creator.
    They even brought Jerry Goldsmith back. A very interesting coincidence imo.
    I also love the character stuff and the performances, especially Sybok, he was a great antagonist in the movie.
    I always thought that Shatner was done dirty by the studio with this film.. especially considering how good of a job he did as the director.
    I don't think that it's his fault that the movie turned out the way it did.
    I personally would love to see a director's cut in the style of the Motion Picture.
    They could add deleted scenes to improve the story, and most importantly fix the VFX!
    This film BEGS for better visuals!
    But.. it seems that there's no interest in it in Paramount.
    What a waste.
    Still like this one a lot! It's very underappreciated.

    Producer Ralph Winter recently spoke at a viewing of Trek 5 and stated that contrary to what we’ve been told, the choice not to use ILM was his alone. It had nothing to do with their busy schedule but rather he wanted to save a few million bucks. He said flat out that its a decision that almost killed the franchise and he learned a very painful lesson as a young producer. Also, Kirk was always scripted to be at Yosemite. It was Sulu and Chekov who are lost at Mt Rushmore. The cut scene was included on the DVD and they show the image of Rushmore with the added face. But they cut it because they felt it wouldn’t play well.

      Why are the TNG movies all so bad? First Contact is the best of them but it's still worse than just about all the TOS films. That might be worth exploring, Mr. Totally awesome films. Is it because they gave Data the emotion chip? Is it because Frakes is a TV director, not a film director (see Shatner problem in V)? Is it because the scripts were idiotic? Is it because they kept destroying the Enterprise--that scene where they crash land the Enterprise D and then have a conversation amidst what is obvious set wreckage is so disillusioning--it ruins the magic--just like JJ Abrams trying to pass off a brewery as the engine room of the Enterprise (probably the worst set in all of Star Trek history).

Insurrection was the end of TNG....I still remember sitting in an EMPTY theater after it had only been out a few weeks(I still went to movies then).....

The sequence where McCoy relives his father's death is so well acted and directed as is Kirk's refusal to lose his pain. Also Kirk asking 'God' what he needs with a starship is one of THE greatest Kirk moments. Plus Goldsmith's gorgeous score. It's a shame the script didn't get a couple more drafts to fix issues and ILM couldn't do the FX. Maybe this movie was just a bit too ambitious for its own good.

    I must confess that I don't like this film and hardly watch it, but when I do I always think there was great potential in it. A little bit more work on character consistency, less cringy moments such as Uhura's naked dancing, better special effects (especially the shots of the Enterprise) and something a little more dramatic for the final battle than a phantom face being destroyed by one shot from a Klingon disruptor blast. And cut that stupid, stupid scene with "not in front of the Klingons".
    To counter all that, the scene when Sybok addresses Spock and McCoy's pain, and wants to do the same for Kirk, is the only scene in any Star Trek movie that actually reminds me of an episode of Star Trek the TV show. All the other ST movies took a different approach to Star Trek then the TV show did, but ST5 was more faithful to the original concept (imo, of course) even if it was not done well in the end.

    William Shatner has many good qualities. For his intellectual limits, he truly surpassed what would normally be expected of him with T.J Hooker and other director highlights. He's a solid 6 (1-10 directors talent scale for TV) But for movies he's trying to hit above his league. Leonard Nimoy (obviously a man of more intellect) was a methodical, imaginative, research driven director who had the capacity to handle big screen productions. Bill would have commanded more respect if he was just a co-director. Better yet, just stick to his TV show productions. No Shame in that Bill.

      @@TotallyAwesomeFilmsPodcast The story is what it is now, but being that Shatner is now 93, it would be nice if the studio let him fix the film. He has said in the past that he would like to, if given the chance.

    I honestly see what ST5 could have been, i still enjoy it more than ST1. St5 feels more like an average TOS episode. Besides the obvious fx failures and other movies, there were many other factors aginst this movie. William Shatner honestly didn't do bad as director, the biggest sins were the FX and the editing.

      I agree. I still maintain that this movie is fun and highly rewatchable. And it is pure Star Trek!

    I actually liked the movie from the get go... The ending was a little weak.

    For me the movie story just lacks so much potential. Starting with a story that ramped up tension with Klingons, or followed up on the Klingon fury about him from Star Trek IV, and was a more modest bottle-type movie (a la Star Trek II) would have served audiences much more richly. They easily could have done something with rehabilitating the Bird of Prey, for instance, and had some spycraft or espionage elements to the story.
    Easily my least favorite Star Trek movie, and very difficult for me to see how it could be significantly improved with just better special effects.
    And to be honest, the special effects never looked all that horrible to me. And of course the score was fantastic. I also didn’t know Shatner’s cast mates had a good experience on set, which is nice.

      Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. I agree that Goldsmith's score was fantastic. I hope you check out my next video, Undiscovered Country.
