Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was a big risk that ended up being the most successful project to come out of Star Trek in it's then 20 year history. I think the only explanation for what happened next is that Paramount Pictures got cocky. For The Voyage Home they greenlit the franchise's most absurd plot in it's history, so they probably thought giving the go ahead on a story that involves a religious zealot searching for God with William Shatner at the helm didn't sound like such a bad idea.

Harve Bennett, who had produced and had a hand in writing the last three films, wasn't even interested in participating.…

Of The Final Frontier, I have three theories:

1. William Shatner, tired of the franchise, tried to kill it as best as he could, doing his very best to sabotage it.

2. William Shatner, jealous of Nimoy's success with the previous two entries, wanted to try his hand at directing an entry, something he wasn't very well suited for.

3. William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy were sitting around one night after reading the script. Nimoy didn't want to return to direct this one, and bet Shatner he couldn't possibly salvage it. Shatner accepted, ultimately losing the bet.

Whatever happened, the results are clear that The Final Frontier is an absolute disaster. Not only is the script full of plotting that…

I'd seen this before, it's been quite a few years but I remember seeing this. I also remembered that it wasn't the best movie as far as Star Trek films go, and that definitely holds true.

One of the most obvious things to spot when watching this is that because Shatner directed it, you can see all the retarded things he added to the films low quality. It's so corn and the opening sequence is so lame with the guys in Yosemite National park, and Shatner climbing a mountain. Gimme a break, his old ass couldn't climb a stairway very nimbly, let alone scale a mountain of that height. And the whole "friends bonding" theme that he throws in the…

One of my favorite Star Trek films.

This is far from perfect but it's also far from terrible which is the general opinion I get from others when discussing the Star Trek franchise.

Shatner will never be known for his directing talents but I felt he did a decent job with this one-what's really interesting is learning how much more he wanted to do with this film-especially the ending but with budget restraints he wasn't able to make the film he wanted to make. Shame.

I really enjoy the beginning of this film-seeing Kirk/Spock/McCoy camping is one of my favorite scenes in the entire series.

Laurence Luckinbill-great performance-great character. His connection to Spock and his past is done well-just how…
