What to Know

Critics Consensus

Filled with dull action sequences and an underdeveloped storyline, this fifth Trek movie is probably the worst of the series.

Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune The film is neither much of a character story nor an action adventure. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 23, 2017 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times It has high adventure, nifty special effects and much good humor, but it also has a wonderful resonance to it. Sep 7, 2016 Full Review Variety Staff Variety William Shatner's inauspicious feature directing debut is a double letdown. May 19, 2008 Full Review Joshua M. Patton CBR Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is not the space-bomb that its reputation suggests. Rated: 7/10 Jun 26, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The Final Frontier offers a frightening look into the ego of an actor who writes and directs himself as the man who proves God does not exist. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Easily the weakest of all 13 Star Trek feature films to date. Rated: 2/4 Sep 11, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Brad CKA L https://youtu.be/Uvr8M5gtNi0?si=tATKIjSpVzgCafOW Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Garrett B It’s not really that good of a film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review alan g Another blot on the good name of star trek. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Charlie M Very strange, and pretty bad. An almost interesting premise is killed by very awkward execution and specific horrible scenes. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Julian L Unnecessary, lazy, boring sequel with cringe plot and getting to god was almost to easy with no sense of urgency. Not the worst film I've seen but pretty terrible. And don't get me started with the special effects. No real enemy. At least it has its good parts, like the action scene and the "let me feel your pain" scene, and its premise is almost interesting. Any other "bad" Star Trek film is mediocre, except Nemesis. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Gum B Of all the Star Trek productions I have seen, this has the most profound topic: search for God, only to find the devil, &also the topic of religious fanaticism is important. I regard those who fail to appreciate this movie, as commenting on their own Philistine shallow mentality. IMHO, this is the best of all Star Trek productions & the detractors are like those who prefer Elvis singing, "Don't stop on my blue suede shoes" to Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano concerto.
