I don't care what anyone says, I love this film!
Me too 😊
Not every movie that is beloved is good. I love several movies that are terrible. I don't care they're bad, they're fun.
Who decides, “Wow they lent me THE Enterprise hero model to use for a theme park attraction… I’m repainting it.”
Probably a soon to be unemployed painter.
Nobody vandalizes the Enterprise like that. Scotty would not be pleased.
This film will always hold a special place in my heart because it was the first Star Trek movie I ever saw. The line for Ghostbusters 2 was too long so my dad took us to the theater around the corner and we watched this instead. I love the campfire scenes
Too
Too bad this was the worst Star Trek film ever.
I went to see this as a first date with the woman who would later become my wife.
It's one of my favorite Star Trek films. Some people just don't understand it. Too bad for them.
@@whalers59 I very much understand it. Im a lifelong trekkie and fans of all things trek. The final Frontier is so bad that I tend to make believe it never even happened.
ST5 is hilarious. I watch it every time I can catch it.
The last time I watched it, I was in Rapid City, South Dakota on a cross country road trip. It was 2 am and I fell asleep before I could hear Kirk ask "God" what he needed with a starship. 😮💨
Babylon 5 did the homage to Johnson's swearing in ceremony first when President Clarke was sworn in after President Santiago's death
The movie is enjoyable enough. I certainly love the shuttle crash, Kirk's "I need my pain" scene, and the trio confronting God scene. Oh, and I also loved how insane Klaa's hair was.
Good to know someone else appreciated Star Trek V.
I need the pain was a good verse , Shatner had all the good lines.

...life is not a dream!
The camping scenes between Kirk, Spock and McCoy are great.
@@shannonbayley3684 Ehhhh....I mean, sure. But it aint my favorite
"Why does God need a starship?"
Excellent question!
"ah, excuse me..."
To me it just feels like a very long TOS episode.
But I do like Klaa, Korrd, and Vixis.
Who are we to contradict Chekov? Vixis DOES have vonderful muscles! 🥰
My least favourite Star Trek film.
I mean, I still love it, obviously.
Obviously.
It loves you too, Sarah! 🙃🤗
It also had to compete with the powerhouse that was Weird Al's UHF
🖖😎👍Very well done and very informatively explained indeed 👌.
I need to "Binge Watch" all OG Star Trek films this weekend!
I first watched the movie when I was 8 and it was the first star trek movie that I saw in the cinema... I thought it was great and still love it...
While I'd support the decision if they removed ST:V from canon, they could go the other way and include Sybok in Strange New Worlds. Maybe there's a ret-con that could develop Spock (most importantly) while tying into ST:V.
Personally, I like the idea that ST:V takes place completely in the Nexus, and that the strange inconsistencies in it are due to the Nexus trying to meet Kirk's fantasy.
Discovery and Picard S1 and S2 need removing from cannon first
So your idea is for Star Trek V to take place DURING Star Trek VII, @@lovehawks2814? Intriguing premise! 😎
I like this idea. 👌
I have good news...
"Hoboken? Ohhh I'm dying again! " - B. Bunny.
I like this movie more than most. And I wouldn't call it the worst film. But it's in my top half as far as being enjoyable and rewatchable.
Same. Is it a thinker? No. Is it fun every time? Absolutely.
@@agingmillennialmainer
No cosmic thoughts, gentlemen?
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Star Trek 5 is a great movie.
hear hear
Totally agree
I agree 10000000000%
And how!
Agreed
I've always regarded this movie as a good romp, pure and simple. 🖖
I have a personal beef with this movie, mostly because I took my high school girlfriend to see it opening night hoping it would get her into Trek.... it didn't really work.
Voyage home was my favorite. And for the other enterprise crew my favorite was first contact.
When I first saw this movie, I was shocked that a small group of desert farmers could take the Enterprise. But the Enterprise looked way more futuristic than in former movies.
It would have been nice if Paramount would have invested in doing new effects shots for the 30th anniversary. All this movie needs is to have the ship shots redone. It is actually a fantastic trek film. I always enjoy it. I remember years ago, a guy here on RUclips was redoing the ship shots in 3d software. It could be even better done today, probably even with free software such as blender.
Not the best Start Trek Movie but I still like it and get a guilty pleasure from watching it every few years. Saw it in a nice big old fashioned Cinema when it was released in Brisbane. Speakers and sound effects were great! Good story. If I recall my trivia, Shatner brought the movie in on time and under budget. Rare for a movie. Good humour!
Here's one for you Seinfeld fans. Remember the episode where George's employer mistakenly takes him for being disabled because he's using a cane? There is a music montage that includes a woman carrying George down the hall at work. That woman is the same person who plays the muscular Klingon woman in this film, shown here at 6:27.
What does god need with a private jet Mr. Osteen?
Timeframe 7:51. I love that shot of the enterprise.
So in summary, ST5 was doomed to be such a failure due to many, many factors. Most notably the writer's strike, 1989 being so congested, ILM just not being available, the 1701-A being vandalized...
Yikes. It's like no matter what happened, it was inevitable. At least it didn't kill the chance of doing ST6, due to TNG continuing to stoke interest. And I do find enjoyment in 5 in spite of its flaws.
Also, Sybok became canon again in Strange New Worlds.
Doesn’t the “God thing” plot resembles the device already used on “Who mourns for Adonais?”
Replace Apollo for Jesus/God, presto.
Also The Apple, they defeated the machine god Vaal/Vol.
They came across magic alien gods all the time.
Yes, but The Motion Picture was just the original series' "The Changeling" redone.
@@scockery Hence the joke subtitle "Where Nomad Has Gone Before."
Also, Winter is a Born Again Christian, Shatner was largely considered an atheist back in 1989...
I thought Shatner was Jewish
Do you know why Jim and Tammy Faye spelled their last name with two K's?
Because three would have been too obvious.
Nice one.
I love STV, even though, it seems from Shatner's autibiography, he was screwed by the studio changing the post production and VFX budget in mid stream. Had CGI been ready at the time the ending would have been much more pleasing. The unfortunate part for me has always been the wardrobe. The earth tones and the strange shoulder pads which should have been further away actually make Kirk, Spock and especially McCoy look wimpy and older than they already are. And Sybok's Vulcan robes look like they were made by his mom. But the movie has some great Trek bits (I NEED my pain, McCoy's backstory about his father, and "Excuse me...what does God ned with a Starship?)
Fact: I watch V way more often than IV
That's a lot to get over. There was some good things about it, but it still was not great. If I'd known, I might have evaluated it against what was holding it back rather than what I would have expected it to be.
I’ve seen ST:V countless times. On VHS. I saw it forwards, backwards and in slow motion. My least favorite one but c’mon obviously still a classic.
I think i watched every ST movie with the image flipped sideways.
Unless there is some text/credits which are then oviously the wrong way, it gives you a new perspective literally.
all together now. how many decks does the Enterprise A have??
Needs more ship decks
I got a fever, and the only cure
is more ship decks!
This was the only Star Trek that I never saw at the movies.
So you guys seen The Center Seat, too... :)
First thing the movie was about Sybock not the entity. Sybock was the Jim Baker.
He says that what are you talking about
Spelling error at 2:03
What's you issue with it? Don't keep it to youself!
The only OG Trek movie I haven't seen
I really enjoy Star Trek V..
I get why this movie is so widely disliked but it has some things I thought were really good. Personally I think it's MUCH Better than the original star trek motion picture.
Watching paint dry is better than the motion picture. This is coming from a hard-core trek fan by the way. 😁
@@johnnyx9659 The motion picture suffered from the re-boot struggles and the production team wanting to put a serious theme behind the genre. They did not want a campy movie, but a serious endeavor like 2001:a space odyssey. It worked to that degree, but made it a really dry and stiff movie to watch. There was nothing bad about it - just no emotion in the plot.
6:25
She has vonderful muscles! 🤩
This is my favorite Star Trek movie
Star Trek V is Kirk’s fever dream
I can hear the excitement lol
"Even-numbered Star Treks don't suck."
All you ever need to know.
What does God want with a starship? It's a fair question.
Sure helps weed out the imposters.
🧡
I didn't think it was a bad film - it's not the best - I enjoyed it in the theatre as a kid. It's far superior than the Motion Picture.
Star Trek V had a massive up-hill battle. Coming right after Star Trek IV, that did amazingly well, it was difficult to top that for a sequel movie. I don't think much could have been done about it, honestly. With that said, I think V was still ok. It still had good moments, and I enjoyed it when I first saw it as a kid. I still recommend it.
Comments on THIS movie are best left unsaid😠
I don't care. Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier is a great movie and is one of my favourite Star Trek movies next to the 2009 reboot by JJ Abrams.
What is canon
They were smoking SOMETHING alright!
It is the second best original cast Trek movie, after The Search for Spock.
Maybe Lower Decks should retcon The Final Frontier as a poorly written holo-novel
To me, the only canon is star trek one
What does god need.. with a budget?
Is it a good movie? Not really. It is the worst Trek movie? I still say it's a toss up between The Motion Picture and JJ Abrams, Into Darkness.
I liked all the original Star Trek movies. But to me 2 was prolly the best one. 5 is probably the most distinct one to me. But every star trek seems to be grounded in fighting some sort of false God if you think about it. 1 was superior ai. 2 was superior genetic manipulation. 3 was master race. 4 was time. 5 was religion. 6 was politics. Many might say all star trek is against God himself but not to me and I suppose that's up to the individual. Anyway, don't throw this movie away cause it's just as good as the rest for sure.
The writing was so bad, but it was a fun movie
BSG revisited was so much better than this film. It was crap, in my opinion. Still would watch again, lol. I hate this "Canon" bs. Sci-fi is canon, everytime
The SFX always felt in line with the previous movies to me. I think they're being too hard on themselves
Oh, once again, just read the books. There's no insight here. The film had to deal with strikes, not having ILM, and a few other problems, like uh...money. Hey, Sean..you have a lovely voice, but you're just talking about what everyone knows. No insight here. Including, you could have said....oh, I won't tell you. Anyway, it's too obvious. As for the direction, it was fine - Shatner knows how to move a camera, and the actors enjoyed working with him. It wasn't the first time he directed. Sean's just following the crowd. As I said, no insight here. As usual. I don't know why I bothered to check.
It's definitely better than Nemesis!
Number 21: It sucked and was the worst Star Trek movie by light years
Sorry - One of my favorite Treks. Don't tell me the garbage they're peddling now as Trek is better...
I like Star Trek 5.
I like this movie. The voyage home is the one that boars me.
It's still better than the plodding mess that is Star Trek The Motion Picture. It's also better than Nemesis. Re-do the FX and it's arguably better than Generations.
I'll say its better than Star Trek The Motion Picture, but better than Nemesis, eeeehhh no, I can't say it. Because at least Nemesis brought us the Scimitar which is by far the coolest enemy ship in all the movies.
Sean...there's Star Trek IV and Star Trek VI. Star Trek V does not exist. It's just a shared hallucination. It's really just Kirk's delusion while he's in the Nexus. Let's all agree on that.
Star Trek V is like the 13th floor in most hotels. It doesn't exist.
to me 5 was so very good. it felt so different . its far better then insurrection and nemesis
It sucks...oh wait no everyone knows that.
