This is a tricky one, no two ways about it.
First thing's first: this is a pro-Shatner account. Not saying he's a saint or anything. Every person who ever worked with him has something at least mildly bad to say about him and I'm 90% sure he'll get into NFTs with his remaining time on this earth if he hasn't already. But I believe in meeting people where they are, and a Canadian egotist who was born in 1931 and has logged service as an actor (God's noblest and most difficult profession) in eight separate decades is gonna require some traveling to get to. But I think it's worth the time and effort.
Shatner's got an ego like the Titanic,…
ill-conceived (charitably speaking), sabotaged by poor planning (with attendant studio-mandated budget cuts) and hubris (Shatner's insistence on directing, then everyone's conflicting script approval) and then driven over a cliff by sheer circumstance (both a WGA and a Teamster strike), there's still an actual STAR TREK movie in here. going on a physical search for God (even a reductive & cheaply dramatized one like this) seems like a natural progression for characters who have literally cheated time and death. the core trio of Kirk, Spock and McCoy still bounce off each other so well (watching them sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" i actually find pretty charming, sue me), and i like that this one stops dead in its tracks, more than once, to psychoanalyze the crew (the flashback to McCoy euthanizing his father is particularly intense). there's plenty here with which to be disappointed; it's a mess but not a thoughtless one.
my fav trek cuz shatner, moody & vital, does almost none of the stupid military-procedure federation nerd shit trekkies (fascists) love, just lusty dive bar adventures big jokes theological ufo cult debate (anti-psych) & ancient friends fartin round the campfire, anarcho-gnostic cuz life is sacred & profane & but a dream
love sybok, love his white robe & quest for truth, shatner loves him too & gives him an ending youd never give khan or some fucking borg or whatever, not just a sneakdiss to roddenberry's channeled "nine"* but smart pulp & romantic humanism closest to gene's 60s shit ripped off by gunn, proyas, wachowskis, m.night & admitted trekkie qt, as dickean as paul v's total recall, that goldsmith score over alien artifacts & a spacebar full of sexy bighead mutant freaks
critics want a marketable well-oiled machine but this has real moments of cinematic majesty & depth beyond the 2/4/6-numbered "good" ones. kirks last words: "i was wrong"
Wait, so why is Spock's brother all emotional-like if he's a Vulcan? And why is Uhura dancing naked? And why -- you know what? I don't care.
Please Captain, not in front of the Klingons.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was a big risk that ended up being the most successful project to come out of Star Trek in it's then 20 year history. I think the only explanation for what happened next is that Paramount Pictures got cocky. For The Voyage Home they greenlit the franchise's most absurd plot in it's history, so they probably thought giving the go ahead on a story that involves a religious zealot searching for God with William Shatner at the helm didn't sound like such a bad idea.
Harve Bennett, who had produced and had a hand in writing the last three films, wasn't even interested in participating.…
Vor nicht allzu langer Zeit, in einer Galaxy, näher als gedacht: Es herrscht Aufruhr in meinem Gemüht. Nach einem anfänglich arbeitsreichen Arbeitstag bei fehlender Warenanlieferung und der dadurch hervorgerufenen anderweitigen Beschäftigung, freute ich mich auf ein gutes Feierabendmahlzeit mit einhergehendem Film.
Aufruhr wegen der Personalknappheit und dem dadurch hervorgerufenen, sich im Endeffekt einredenden Stress, bliebt selbiger auch längst nach der Feierabendmahlzeit.
Ich, als Opfer und Geschädigter, begebe mich auf die erholsame Abkehr jedweden Stresses.
Verfolgt von tausenden anderen Filmen, begab ich mich auf die Aufgrabe, alle Filme zu sehen …
Ist der erste Star Trek Film, „Star Trek: Der Film“ das „2001: Odyssee im Weltraum“ unter den Star Trek Werken, „Star Trek II: Der Zorn des Khan“ für mich die…
I'm not being funny but I've just realised this is William Shatner's remake of Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker.
Stalker
Three Men travel and camp in a harsh environment with a guide to meet god, the creator etc to be rewarded but they don't have the faith to confront the ultimate power/reason of existence face on.
Or as my preferred reading, a mysterious and impenetrable room is created with "the secret of life and desire" to give people faith in the harshest landscapes. As the notion and "belief" of faith is more important than the actual reality of it.
Star Trek 5
Three Men travel and camp only to meet a guide after travelling to a harsh environment to meet "god", to understand existence, and be rewarded but get attacked by a Klingon Warbird and bad acting instead.
Like i said, it is Shatner's remake
100-word review: A very in-touch-with-his-emotions relative of Spock takes control of the Enterprise to aid his search for God. Everybody gets a turn! Nimoy went twice, so now Shatner gets to direct a Star Trek film. And oh do we get some directional, uhm, choices — looking at you naked Uhura dance. After the brilliantly comedic The Voyage Home, my body was ready for the Star Trek Motion Picture beach (forest camping) episode, featuring actually good rock-climbing, but instead we get the theological episode, which takes a long time to get going and arrive at a convoluted conclusion.
Part of my September 2021 Live Long and Prosper challenge; 5th out of 13 films.
After the critical and commercial success of The Voyage Home, William Shatner remembered a little clause in his original 1960's Star Trek TV contract that stated he'd have equal share of opportunities Leonard Nimoy had, and vice versa. Since Nimoy had directed the previous two Trek movies, Shatner decided it was time for his crack at the chair and the result was The Final Frontier... widely regarded as the nadir of the Star Trek movie franchise, even to this day. It's an unfortunate legacy that's difficult to disagree with - some Trek films haven't been very good, but none have been as frequently average as TFF. Yet, and perhaps this is a long standing Trek fan who remembers watching this…
The one they let William Shatner direct.
Not quite as terrible as I remembered but still pretty bad. I may have been premature in rating III as not the worst Star Trek movie, as it's hard to say which is weaker. In this one, Kirk, Spock and Bones use facts and logic to kill the false God at the center of the galaxy, which sounds a lot cooler than it is. The bad guy is Spock's half brother, a rogue Vulcan who uses telepathic abilities and an embrace of primal emotion to run a therapy cult that heals people by confronting and acknowledging their pain. There are some good, corny character moments in this one that focus on the show's central triumvirate eating beans together but that's about it.

While the theme of the film didn't really grab me I found this to be perhaps the strongest entry thus far in terms of a character driven plot! And when those characters are Star Trek icons that's a good thing! In my opinion this film was by far the closest spirit wise to the television series!
Between Bone's laughter inducing sarcasm, Scotty becoming one with an inanimate object and Spock's comment to the Captain "Captain Please not in front of the Klingons" I was always one step away from losing myself completely with laughter!
I cannot begin to explain the satisfaction and joy I've experienced while visiting the original Star Trek franchise! I simply must take this journey more often in the future!
