No. 5 - The Final Frontier. 1989
A bizarre entry in the series which fluctuates between cheesy humour
and melodrama. The character interaction of the regulars, usually subtle
and fluent, is here gratingly over-egged, and the special effects seem
to have suffered a relapse to the days of Battlestar Galactica. William
Shatner's direction is fine, but his own performance is ludicrously
overblown. Watch out for Kirk's hilarious line: "What does God need with
a starship?" Beyond that, the film simply doesn't feel like Star Trek.
