{4\/5} “‘I am well versed in the classics, Doctor.’ ‘Then how come you don’t know “Row, row, row your boat”?'” — Spock & McCoy<\/p>\n
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier<\/strong>, released in 1989<\/p>\n The new Enterprise isn’t quite space worthy yet but it’s called to Nimbus III, the Planet of Galactic Peace, where someone has kidnapped the envoys. When they see a video, Spock is shocked to find that the kidnapper is his half brother, Sybok, who he hasn’t seen in decades. When the Enterprise arrives, they find that Sybok wants the ship — he wants to take it to Sha Ka Ree, where he thinks he will find God.<\/p>\n There are some funny parts, but many of the parts that are supposed to be funny fall flat. The part when Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are in the brig is a good one.<\/p>\n The novelization by J. M. Dillard makes 1 or 2 things make more sense, so if you incorporate that into your thinking you can see it as a slightly better movie.<\/p>\n In general it’s not quite up to par with the previous movies, but there are some good parts. I like the friends-as-family theme.<\/p>\n Stars DeForest Kelley, George Takei, Laurence Luckinbill, David Warner, and Charles Cooper. Directed by William Shatner (the documentary The Captains<\/strong><\/a>). The music by Jerry Goldsmith is superb, particularly “The Mountain.”<\/p>\n
