Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)


Capt. Kirk and his crew must deal with Mr. Spock's half brother who hijacks the Enterprise for an obsessive search for God.

All the ingredients are there, but this time around it seems a bit half-heartedly pieced together.

And again: it's more like a blown up mediocre episode of the TV series.

Halliwell (no star): "Mystic moments, tamely rendered, that indicate it is long after the time when the series should have been laid to rest."

Maltin **: "Dramatically shaky trek starts off with a case of the cutes, and gets worse before it (finally) gets better. A weak entry in the series."
