10 Terrible Movies That Reward You For Staying Until The End
4. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
The six Star Trek movies to feature the cast of the original TV show are a real mixed bag, with the fifth instalment sitting right towards the bottom.
The Final Frontier was directed by William Shatner (who definitely wasn’t just doing it because Leonard Nimoy got to direct three and four) and sees the crew of the Enterprise go after a renegade Vulcan whose search for God threatens the entire universe.
It's mostly garbage. The comedy is poor, the action sequences are uninspired, and Shatner quickly outs himself as a man who cannot direct. Fans and non-fans alike were disappointed, although one scene in particular did go over quite well with the diehards.
At the end of the movie, Kirk appears completely at the mercy of a god-like entity, only for a Klingon Bird of Prey spaceship to swoop in and save him. It is revealed that Spock is behind the wheel, and that he made one final dangerous play to save his captain.
The film ends on Kirk, Spock, and Bones safe and sound on Earth - a nice visual for fans of the Original Series.
