Star Trek 5 : The Final Frontier
Stardate 8454.1: In the windswept desert of Nimbus III, the Planet of Galactic Peace, a lone settler witnesses a man materialising out of the dusty horizon, offering to share and bear the settler's pain. With a laugh, the two join forces and plan to steal a starship. Cutting to the rock and scrub of another desert, the jeans-clad Captain Kirk is climbing bare-handed in Yosemite. After a near-accident followed by a night of beans and whisky and campfire songs, Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and McCoy (DeForest Kelley) are called back from shore leave to the new Enterprise for an emergency mission. Counting on Scotty (James Doohan) to bring the new ship up to speed, they travel to Paradise City on Nimbus III, where delegates from the Romulan, Klingon, and Human races have been kidnapped. The crew soon find themselves joining kidnapper Sybok (Laurence Luckenbill), the Vulcan renegade half-brother of Spock who is desperate to discover the secret that lies beyond the Great Barrier at the center of the galaxy. A thought-provoking directorial debut from William Shatner; the journey becomes a metaphysical quest for the meaning of life, as the crew of the Starship Enterprise comes face-to-face with "God."

It was only fair that William Shatner should get the chance to take the controls following Leonard Nimoy's stint in the director's chair for the preceding two adventures, and, while this lacks the wit and panache of number four, it still makes for an enjoyable romp. The story this time revolves around a messianic figure (Laurence Luckinbill) who is holding a distant planet hostage but, in reality, wants to lay his hands on the Enterprise and its creaky crew. Shatner, who also had a hand in the script, seems to be aiming for a more mystical plane than usual, but the plot is embarrassingly trite at times. In the end it just about gets by, thanks to the delightful interplay between Shatner, Nimoy and DeForest Kelley, and a typically action-packed finale.

The Bonus Features disc is NOT a DVD
The disc is a 10 track audio cd of music from the Star Trek movies. There is no video at all on this disc. Avoid!

[Highly rated reviewer]
No wonder I didn't see this in the cinema
The only thing Star Trek V has going for it is nostalgia. The story is weak, the humour is tired, the characters are mere charicatures of themselves, the special effects are approximately the same quality as in the original series.
No reason to spend time on this. -
