Star Trek V: The Final Frontier Review
This series is interesting. Every movie touches on different themes and this one, unlike the previous four movies, hits on the religious/heavier note (which is fascinating in a universe that primarily has non religious figures). You never knew where this was going until they finally mention the Great Barrier, then you really don't know where it's going since no one has gone there before (at least in recorded history). When they finally do arrive, they find this very "wizard of Oz" like creature that claims to be an all powerful god (though very clearly is not, even in this universe). Once again, this movie leaves me with questions that will no doubt NOT be answered by following movies, not the least of which is where did this being come from, who put him there for "all eternity," and did he really get destroyed by a measly laser attack from a ship? Despite the questions, this was a much better story than the fourth movie and just felt like a better movie altogether (there was actually a main antagonist with a personality, ermagosh!).
8/10
