Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

“Adventure and imagination will meet at the final frontier.”

Premium Crap. CrapScore 71, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A charismatic Vulcan commandeers the Enterprise for a journey towards a supposedly divine destination. William Shatner mixes spiritual ambition with broad crew comedy and unusually conspicuous production limits. The familiar cast provides affection even when the quest's scale escapes the film's grasp.
