'Star Trek V: The Final Frontier' does have some good scenes, namely the camping fire scene, the inner/greater pain scene (very intense and moving) and Scotty knocking himself out (the one bit of humour that works). Jerry Goldsmith's score is awesome personified, there is no bias intended as Goldsmith has always been one of my favourite composers, but the score here really rouses the spirits while touching the heart also. The cinematography is neat and very nicely done in the quieter scenes, and William Shatner's direction works well in these moments. Is it the worst of the films based of the original series? Yes. Whether it is the worst overall 'Star Trek' film is up for debate, it's a worthy contender. To me, it is nowhere near as bad as its reputation, and feel in some way that the film was doomed even before it was released. The fifth film of the franchise, 'The Final Frontier', is often considered the worst of the films, and one can understand why. Having been one of the shows that was part of my childhood and growing up, the original 'Star Trek' still holds up as great and ground-breaking, even if not perfect.
